Bayside Arbors of Clearwater Apartamentos

I hope this helps future tenants to stay away from this property and save yourself from the hassle of dealing with failing property issues. It is an overpriced unit for what it offers. I moved in on Jun 30, 2024 and we have had so many problems with the unit. The following is a list of problems in the unit:
1- leaky showers- water sprays into the bathroom floor
2- cockroaches
3- balcony with cacoons- not cleaned or maintained
4- stairwell that is filthy
5- clogged kitchen sink on day 2 in the... unit
6- loud washer- it make a a lot of noise to do a load
7- malfunctioning lights
8- cabinets that are old and not invested in- they have this white film in the cabinets that is sticky; clearly trying to salvage the cabinets and line their pockets rather than utilize the money to give tenants a comfortable space to live in.
9- emergency line for maintenance where no one picks up
10- faulty bathroom locks where I spent hours being locked up in a bathroom
11. Shower heads not working.
12. Ac vents are so loud that it disturbs your sleep
13. Bathroom sinks are outside the bathroom - reminds me of old hotel layouts. The bathroom light shines right into bedroom so god forbid your partner has to use the bathroom at night. It will wake you up.

The ironic thing is when we did the walk through, they assured us that all the things in the unit were in working order. We were not wise enough to turn on and try things to make sure it all worked. I have lived in apartments before but this management company seems incompetent and the property is badly managed to have so many issues with a unit after only 3 days in the unit. It is an overpriced for a unit that is old and dated and badly maintained.
Please check the reviews on apartment listing for further reviews. I wish we had done that before we entered into this lease.

The only positive is location.

The photos online are not what the units look like at all. If you looking at their site remotely, please keep this in mind. Lee mas

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The only positive part of living here was the beautiful sunrise/sunset, everything else is terrible. Save yourself the money and headache, and stay away from this place. They raised our rent by hundreds of dollars per month, and lowered the quality of the property. Absolutely awful property manager. Didn’t listen to our (or other residents) concerns, and told us to move out if we weren’t happy, instead of showing the slightest bit of empathy. Told us... the front gates were a facade, and people are going to find their way in either way, this was in response to asking why the broken front gates haven’t been fixed in years. They will give you a 24hr ultimatum on if you want to renew your lease, for an additional $400 per month (well before the 90-day notice). Could write a novel about the terrible experiences of maintenance issues (constant AC leaks/no working street lights for months/fire place and grills constantly out of propane/worst-rated, motel 6 quality “luxury” amenities), lack of upkeep with the common areas, and blatant negligence of our safety. Case in point, someone stole the weights from our gym, because the locks don’t actually lock anything. Ultimately, this comes down to poor quality management, and it’s such a shame, because this property could be a gem. Lee mas

We lived here 5 years and has gone down hill with new owners and management are the worst ...

This place is horrible. New management is terrible! The women at the leasing office are so nasty. They take your whole deposit and act like you never had one in the first place. Stay Away!!! Black mold all over the buildings.

Our sink has been broken for 2 weeks- leaking everywhere underneath to the point it is warping the wood, no one has come to fix it even though we ask daily
