Lake Crossing Apartments

I’ve lived here for almost 2.5 years and highly recommend it for both professionals and families. I love my apartment, the location, and I feel very safe here (which was really important to me). The staff is amazing! They’re the most helpful apartment team I’ve ever worked with, always quick to respond and take care of any issues right away. Plus, they host regular community events (almost every month), which makes it easy to meet neighbors and feel part of the community.

I've lived in Lake Crossing for 2, nearly 3 years now. The unit I'm in now was the first apartment I've ever had. I've found LC to be a really good first apt. Here are my negatives and positives.

Negatives:
My apt is one of the ones that has been "renovated" to have more up-to-date appliances and features. This is nice at first glance, but when you take a closer look, you notice its faults pretty quickly. The wooden floors are not pushed together properly, so dirt builds in the crevices. The... granite they chose for the countertops makes it difficult to see when something is dirty as it will blend into the pattern. I've also noticed that there are tons of small details that just seem poorly finished, such as underneath the floating cabinets or the paint being chipped around the windows.

I've consistently had pest issues like ants, roaches, and fruit flies. The roaches are either very alive or very dead and are more so a reminder to me to call the front office to request pest control to come to my unit. The ants and flies, however, are different. The ants keep showing up on my window sills and, at this point, I think the windows may need to be replaced. The flies are persistent. Just when I think they're gone, they're back. I've tried everything; stuff for the drains, fly-catchers, an indoor bug zapper, etc. It's more just fly management at this point than them ever being completely gone.

Maintenance time is terrible. It will take weeks for something to be fixed in your apartment if you have an issue. This isn't the fault of the staff themselves, however, because they are understaffed and some things that may need fixing they need to order a part for, which also takes time.

This isn't necessarily a negative, but the unit I'm in keeps heat in really well. In the winter I rarely turn the heating on, but in the summer the AC works overtime.

Positives:
The management team that runs LC are great. Anytime I phone the front desk, they're always pleasant and understanding. I've had no issues with the staff.

The location of LC is really nice in my opinion. It's close to the highway, Santa Fe, and Magnolia Park which has loads of restaurants.

The noise level isn't very high either. The only time it's an issue is with upstairs neighbors stomping (very rarely/depends on the person), dogs barking, or just someone having a loud vehicle when they leave or return from going out. Lee mas

I have been living here for 3 years going on 4. From the first day, the staff have been so kind and welcoming. Upon arrival to my apartment they had a care package for me and for my dog. Any maintenance issues I have had they took care of in a timely manner. The front office staff is beyond sweet. Caitlyn always remembers me by name and her and Sydney always have a smile on their faces. The team at Lake Crossing always have treats for you at the front office and do little events every once in a... while for their residence. Their amenities are clean and in good condition. The location is a short drive to anywhere in Gainesville and it is a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood. I would and do recommend this Lake Crossing to anyone! Lee mas

This apartment complex is by far the best place I’ve ever lived! You enter through a beautiful gate and the grounds are clean and properly maintained so thats always nice to come home to. Everyone who works in the office Terri, Kaitlyn, Lauren, and Sydney are always super friendly and above board helpful especially the maintenance team. When my dryer broke Shawn and Nicolai came the next day and assessed the problem. They took the time to explain to me what the issue was, how they were going to... fix it, and when I should expect for the issue to be resolved. I appreciate that they made the effort to be thorough and timely in this matter, but more importantly I admire that there was clear and open communication about the issue and that they were honest about the timeline of fixing it. That was a huge problem myself and many other people I know experienced in the area was that unfortunately, most other apartment complexes are just not above board. Lake Crossing is my little sanctuary in Gainesville and I am very happy to call it home! Lee mas

Lake Crossing Apartments has raised the bar in expectations! Terri, Kaitlyn, Lauren and Sydney have all gone above and beyond what my expectation’s were as a client. Will 100% be recommending them to anyone I know of looking for a rental!! Amazing job team!
