Galleries; shops; restaurants; Blues club; the beach; Siesta Keys is about 15 minutes away from City Side.

Terrible treatment of this longtime resident; CONSTANT management changes (3 resident managers and…read moreall new clueless employees in the last 9 months!!!) resulting in gross incompetence, treating residents like children, adding exorbitant fees for THEIR mistakes and lack of communication.. DO NOT LIVE HERE NOW! Bruce, the owner of the management company who " runs" CitySide is uninvolved, uncaring, and a liar. He constantly fires staff who dare to actually take care of residents. So many other great choices downtown. Multiple emails and phone calls unanswered, caste-like atmosphere where the residents are treated as the lowest class. Do not be fooled by the " new" management hype!

For the price, these apartment units at Bella Villino are a great deal. When my wife and I first…read moredecided we were moving to Sarasota, this was the first place we looked at. Unfortunately, we wanted a larger unit with hardwood and they didn't have one available. Daria is the lease manager and she was kind enough to show us around on short notice. They have a really nice pool and weight room and it seems like a great neighborhood in Palmer Ranch. There is a Lowe's and Target within walking distance and the Costco is about 1 mile away. Check their website for an updated list of apartment rentals but a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom will cost you about $1,350.00. We decided to pay a lot more and move to Siesta Key but the units we viewed were really nice. It's worth a look for sure!

I'm not sure why there's a review that talks abt roaches and mold, but doesn't specify what exactly…read morewas the problem. I bought my unit and when I gutted the kitchen there was a little mold on the wall behind the kitchen sink. Got a spray from Lowes, you spray it and then wipe and that's that. Mold is gone and wall is sealed. But you have to understand those kitchen cabinets were 20 yrs old and this is Florida. Also the renters who lived here were horrible. There was dog pee stains on the carpet (was the first thing I ripped out). What kind of ppl wouldn't walk their god? Abhorrent. Anyway, there was no mold anywhere else. Besides, I had the unit inspected before I bought it. About the roaches, all and all, last year (2021) I saw 3 roaches (palmettos). All during the summer. First I must say I live on the 3rd floor. So I found one in my bathtub (gross) probly came from the pipes, and the others my cat was chasing lol nice live toys for him. He kills them eventually. No need for sprays. So that's that. There's awesome pool, nice gym, tennis court, landscaping is beautiful. My neighbors are all awesome. Management is on premises and very nice as well. I'm very happy I bought here when I did. Also it's very close to siesta. I go there on my ebike (there's a bike lane on the US41!) takes me 20min, door to beach (crescent beach)!

Warning: Do not visit this company's website or contact them unless you are absolutely certain you…read moreintend to become a customer. I have never been so overwhelmed by phone calls, emails, text messages, and follow-up attempts from any business. Since Monday, and today is only Wednesday, I have received approximately a dozen emails, half a dozen text messages, and multiple phone calls. Despite repeatedly opting out and unsubscribing through multiple channels, the communications continue. What's frustrating is that this company offers exactly the type of housing I'm looking for. However, I have decided not to do business with them because of what I consider to be an extremely aggressive, inappropriate, and unprofessional marketing approach. Not a single other company I contacted has behaved this way. As a result, I will be leaving a one-star review for every unwanted marketing email I receive going forward. My company is currently relocating several people to this area, and I have already advised all of them to avoid interacting with this company online. The relentless follow-up and apparent disregard for opt-out requests have made the experience completely unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous.

It is ridiculous that they are so strict knowing how the economy has been for the past years. I know for a fact that people with much less income have been approved because they don't even have a credit history for not having lived in the United States long enough. Hopefully I will find a place willing to lease me a home or else Sarasota County Schools will just lose a teacher for not having where to live.

They don't keep the hallways entrances or outside areas vacuumed or blown off. There has been dead insects and mud tracked in the building for weeks that still need cleaning up.

I came to tour this apartment complex during my lunch break, and it was a complete waste of time…read more There was no receptionist at the front desk, and the manager was completely disengaged--on her phone for nearly an hour while several tenants tried to get her attention. She clearly didn't care. Shockingly, it was a tenant--not the staff--who ended up showing me around. When finally I called her out with a firm voice that I have an appointment's proof, she was reluctantly showing the unit. (The other tenant can only show me the amenities- pool, gym, because they don't have the key to the unit). She was arrogantly telling me that there is no promotion and the website is misleading but just today, I get an email of their promotion. I guess many people leaving. This place is clearly mismanaged and unprofessional. I'm beyond relieved that I decided to sign a lease elsewhere. I talked to a few tenants while waiting. I usually not going to post if something not good, can see most of the time I review only to give 4 stars up but I would say avoid this place if you value your time and peace of mind.
