It's kept very clean and the leasing office staff is generally prompt and quick to work with you. We are rarely home, both my husband and I travel for work. I just deep cleaned my apt, and when I removed the drawer to the oven to clean the inside of the drawer where I keep my some cookie sheets, I noticed an extreme amount of grime sticking to the bottom of the oven and crumpled paper towels just floating on top of it like it had fallen back there. I knew this was not from us. We have lived here a little over a year but rarely use the oven, I also keep an immaculate home. A little back story- I don't like people in my home once I'm occupying it unless absolutely necessary, so rather than putting in a work order or making a complaint I do whatever I can myself. At move in, the shelves in the laundry room were caked with dust and very grimy with detergent which seemed compiled over years of use, I cleaned it myself for about an hour. Making sure I got between each wire of the shelves. I also unclogged the drain in my guest bathroom bathtub, and literally pulled bandaids out of the drain with a drain stick, whomever did the inspection here did not do a good job, and whomever lived here before us obviously wasn't very clean. I just emailed the leasing office regarding the bottom of the oven a couple nights ago because I just noticed it and I really did not want to clean that myself. They responded that it wasn't on my inspection sheet (which literally has nothing on it, cause again I'm not going to nitpick and spend my valuable time inspecting each crevice of every nook and cranny before I move in, of course the unit is not perfect it was built like 15 years ago) and assured me it was clean before I moved in. I am pretty peeved about the entire situation. I'm very aware of my own habits and cleanliness. I would notice paper towels falling into the crevices of my oven. I did NOT put them there. And that kind build up only happens when you live a unkept lifestyle, that certainly isn't our mode of operation. I will attach my side of the correspondence only (I don't want to breach any privacy clauses) and the pictures of what the oven looked inside of where the drawer sits. BOTTOM LINE- INSPECT YOUR APT IF YOU'RE MOVING HERE. Especially areas you normally wouldn't, because I promise you they don't. Remove the drawer to the oven to check the inside, move your oven out, move your refrigerator out, check all of your drains, make sure your shelves are clean, unless you want to clean it yourself like I did. To the Crossing apts. do better inspections. Don't put that job on your tenants. This was a literally fire hazard, what if those paper towels caught fire? And, don't put blame on tenants for your own shortcoming. I shouldn't have to remove the drawer to my oven to make sure you did your job. We have been exemplary tenants, and make very little complaints and keep an immaculate home. Our apt is better now than the condition it was in at move in. Our inspection sheet was empty because we gave you the benefit of the doubt, that should have been reciprocated.

My positive experience began when I met with Josephine and was still apartment shopping. She arranged with the vacating tenant to show me the actual apartment that I was considering renting...all of the other places I looked wanted to show me models and then have me sign on the dotted line without ever seeing where I'd actually be living. The paperwork was a breeze and so was move in. I had minimal maintenance issues (AC one time and a clogged drain another) but everything was addressed within 24 hours and then Josephine followed up to make sure that the repairs were done. Parking is great, location is great, I felt very safe at all times. The staff is so helpful, that I reached out 5 months after moving out when I accidentally had a Christmas present sent to my old address and Josephine was still responsive and helped. Moving out was no problem after giving notice. If I ever move back to the beach and need an apartment, I'll definitely be back at Lake Bradford.

PLEASE LOOK TO LIVE ELSEWHERE. I don't even know where to start with this review, so let me start…read moreby saying that yes the layout in the large apartments are nice, and the appliances all worked and looked good. But there's a lot of negatives to living here. To start the manager here is extremely stand offish and not welcoming at all. Not sure if rude or just mean is the right word. All the way to the moment we moved out she just made me and my wife feel like a problem to her. Now small problems are the roaches that kept crawling out of vents and the windows. Our bedroom window would not fully seal closed so water would get in. The toilet is INSANELY close to the counter so there is very little room. Now when we moved in immediately there was a very obvious smell in the apartment. And the closets smelled even worse. We were told that there was a bad smell in the fridge so bad they had to bomb the fridge, which would make you think they would bomb smell the apartment? Nope. So they told us they would use a small ozone treatment which did absolutely nothing so they offered to paint in the closet which made the smell stick to the walls and made it worse. And we turned down the paint in the first place but they begged us to. And then when it didn't work we asked for another transfer which we asked for, for months. We asked again and we were basically told that we already cost them enough money. The smell stuck to MOST of our stuff. We had to throw out all of our furniture, collectibles, clothing, posters. So much of our stuff is now thrown out. And months of storage unit we had to pay for, for stuff that we got out immediately. So she offered us to just move out within 30 days and gave us no specific date to get out and then would say "this offer will not last forever" and we did damage the carpet with a small amount of bleach because that is the measures we had to go to to try and get the smell out (which didn't work) we had multiple family, and friends, to smell in the apartment and they all smelled it. So all in all this was an extremely bad experience. So if you're looking for an apartment I would suggest looking elsewhere. If you want more specifics about this experience you can definitely reach out to me on Facebook under the same name.

My leasing agent, Tatiana Harrison, was a pleasant, thorough professional who patiently accommodated me during my decision phase of place to live. Even after move-in, she remains active in assisting residents with other apartment-living matters. The social events provided by 27 Atlantic at no cost to residents merit special mention. There was a dolphin-watching trip and a weekly rooftop happy hour in August, 2022 organized by Kathy Lovko and 27 Atlantic staff. The wine-tasting party on the rooftop patio September 2022 was especially noteworthy. Oscar's Restaurant, a five-star restaurant located on the ground floor, put on a 5-course dinner with a different wine for each course, while a live musician played in the background. Take a look at the event on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/27atlantic/photos/pcb.619828189871965/619824126539038/ The 24/7 Fitness Center is extensive (you probably won't need a gym membership), and it has a good-sized game room with a big screen to rival that of the best sports bars. The club room contains a full-scale kitchen for 27 Atlantic resident indoor social events. The rooftop patio is outfitted with a large bar and gas grill, and has an incredible view of the ocean, the city, and sunsets.

THEY'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!!! In 40+ years of renting in apartment complexes - large, urban living, etc., I have never ever experienced this in my whole life, and now it happens about once a month. I wish the tenants would have been honest in their reviews when I went through here, so at least I would have known beforehand & been prepared about this. The alarm sound also is so extremely LOUD and PIERCING to our eardrums, so even walking down the hallway trying to get to the stairwell, you're struggling and suffering with sound that must be extremely damaging to our ears. Being here so close to the beach was a dream & I love my apartment, but the fact that these false alarms are now happening once a month is really bad. If it weren't for these alarms, I'd love to stay here forever. Other than that, Jeri, Goldie, & Nino are very helpful & appreciate them. Having the restaurants and CVS right there is nice. I pray they do something about the alarms - bottom line - they've got to figure out something to stop this from happening.

We lived upstairs and after new people moved in below us about a year and a half into our time there thats when we started complaining both to Su and to gardis. Our neighbors where horrible.

They do offer to have carpet cleaned after a certain amount of time. -would be nice if they had 24/7 on site security but rent would probably go up -you can place your own ring camera at your front door or whatever camera of your choosing. But yea, no cameras on the apartments. Again, would probably make rent go up. -rent, it is what it is, everywhere is expensive. You can pay monthly rent in two separate payments if needed. Wow! That's a lot! But hope it helps! Again, I've lived here for a few years. I would move if I wasn't happy. So anything I mentioned that seemed like a complaint is obviously something that's not high on my priority list. -I've lived here for several years and never had any issue with crime. Maybe because I lock my car doors. So, pros: - love the pool, it's never too crowded but you guys need to limit ppl bringing visitors to the pool. -parking drives me crazy bc door dash, grub hub etc always take my spot bc it's upfront. But it's not the apartments fault. You get one reserved parking spot and then any other vehicles will have to park in resident parking. You can have anyone park in your reserved spot. Visitors included. -geese poop everywhere! Again, not the apartments fault but definitely frustrating. -Maintenance can't always work around your schedule. They are pretty good about getting in and getting out. -the have elevators, although on rare occasions they don't work -I've never had issues with hearing my neighbors through the wall.

Overall, my experience has been great. The community is so so quiet, safe, close to everything,…read moremaintenance is timely and nice, and the community is well maintained. A few things I'd like improved are pet poop bag stations, more kind leasing office staff, a pet play area, a working gate, and more community events. All of those things are non-existent and for the amount of money it costs to live here, it doesn't feel like an unreasonable ask. For example, I have called the leasing office twice since I moved in and one of those times was to submit a noise complaint for my neighbor (after dealing with it for months and just letting it go). I called the leasing office and Angie acted as if I was inconveniencing her, she asked if they were really being loud as if I called the office just for fun, and made it seem as though this request was outside the scope of her leasing agent responsibilities. I have called the leasing office TWICE since I've lived here so for this to be the response was very off-putting, to say the least. For the pet improvements, there is no play area nor are there poop bag stations. There is poop EVERYWHERE because people don't pick it up. It's not right but the complex could do something to make it easier to dispose of it. The gate is seemingly there to be able to say it's a gated to community, even though it never works. Parking isn't great either but there's only so much you can do about that. Lastly, as far as community events the ones that they sporadically hold seem like "here, just to say we did something" events. More thought and effort could be put into them like getting food trucks, or having a single resident social, or holiday theme events. Anything more thoughtful would be great.
