Anita, the leasing manager, is such a pleasure to deal with. Knowledgeable about the community and…read moremade moving in super easy. She was able to get me a unit with a balcony per my request and had everything ready to go by move-in day. Our unit is a 2/1 and has plenty of storage throughout. Each unit looks a little different on the inside. Ours has carpeted bedrooms and living room with new vinyl hardwood throughout the rest of the unit. Microwave is not provided. You'll have to use on-site laundry unit, which is open 24/7 and the door stays locked unless you have a pass. Laundry can be very busy, especially on Sundays. Walls/floors are a little thin. I cannot hear anything next door, but I hear everything in the unit below me. If that bothers you, this might not be the best place for you. There's police here every day for one reason or another. Haven't had any issues personally with my neighbors and there have been no violent crimes to my knowledge, just a lot of noise in the parking lot, especially between 3-8pm and on weekends. Zoned schools are some of the better ones in Manatee County and the neighborhood is close to shopping, restaurants, and maybe 20 minutes from Anna Maria Island. Affordable living!

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!

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.

First of they gave me an apt full of roaches. It was so disgusting. We just moved out of state and…read morepaying 1500 a month I wouldnt have thought I would be in an apt of roaches. I have pictures of all the feces throughout the apt. There was tons of roach poop in the cabinets, dishwasher, and washer. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. So I called them thinking they would feel bad as most companies would. Not McIntosh, they tried to say my ocd family brought the roaches with us and they had a pooping party within days. It was the most rudest thing I have ever experienced in all my 22 apts I lived in. So I called the top bug company and they told them there was absolutely no way my family and I could have brought them and they put that much feces everywhere. Talk about embarrassing. Then my child got bite by bugs all over him. I have the pictures of my bites and my 3 yr old child's. It broke my heart. I had to beg and beg, crying and crying to management and corporate to move me. They actually wanted me to pay a relocation fee and for the movers. We just paid thousands to come from another state and my son's father traveled and I couldnt lift everything alone. I wanted a first floor since I had a 3 year old, but had to move upstairs. Finally convinced them to pay for the movers and they complained about it. And they made me pay it first which I had just spent so much money to get there. They took it off my next month rent. Now here begins the hell of these apartments. Pls be aware they do not care about their residents at all. I have worked for property management and I have never seen ppl being treated like I did here. My son's father had a massive stroke in the apartments and became disabled, nonverbal and paralyzed on his right side and had to have decompressive craniotomy. The most serious brain surgery when dealing w a stroke. I was losing everything so fast. They would not work w me on anything. So my 3 yr and I had to break the lease which costed me over 4000 dollars. Mind you this is Christmas and my 3 yr old. The office is absolutely horrible. The blonde lied to me about everthing. She said I could pay any amount for 6 months and then I could work it out with the credit company. Hahaha that was a lie. I have proof of me calling them, they never answer the phone. Ever!!! So make sure u dont move out of state because you will have to go up there if you need to talk. I had to leave state. I started calling and messaging asking how much I owe. I have the messages and the phone calls I made which I showed them and corporate. I went all the way to the top and they did not care. They told me in the messages they would get back to me. But of course they never did. By this time there is the pandemic so our country goes to pieces. So of course no one is answering and no one messages me back with how much I owe. No one emails me or anything. So I figured due to the lack of response and due to the pandemic they are shut down and contacting ppl later. Nope they put me in collections!!!! They made it all my fault with the proof of me calling and messaging many times, but it was all my fault. Well I had a letterhead letter stating my job was halted due to the virus and I had a letter stating my son's father who is now disabled stating that disability office is affecting the structure of recieving disability. I send it to them bexause they want me to almost 700 a month. I lost everything and they would not work w me on payments with all the proof I just stated. They still want there 700 bucks even the the apt was rented out immediately when I broke the lease. Of course they told me it was rented to a man and his daughter the day i signed the broken lease. Smart cause if they told me the day before I wouldnt have settled on paying the 2 months, i would have taken the other choice to pay until someone rented it. But, hey we are only losing everything and my son's father is never going to work and they know my adorable son and me so let's f*** us some more. Anyways, they worked out a horrible deal w me to get it back from collections as long as I am never late paying it. I plead and tell them my son and I are now homeless. They dont care there is only a virus stopping the world at this point. I paid every payment on time as my truck got repossessed and I am living on a air mattress at a friend's house. But, guess what? Two days ago collection calls me saying I didnt pay for june. Not only do I have the receipt I paid from there website. I paid early and I paid more than what was needed. So as a scared homeless mother I call them for two days and email wondering why they are doing this to me now. No response from anyone. I messaged the leasing office, corporate and everyone else I could google and not one person responded to me. They are putting a broken lease on my credit and I paid every single payment on time during a pandemic.
