Somerset Palms Apartamentos

I lived at Arbor View Apartments (now known as Somerset Palms) for 3.5 years, and I have mostly positive things to say about my experience. While the complex had some areas for improvement during my time there, it seems like they've made some impressive upgrades in recent years.

Pros:
- The apartments are spacious and well-designed, and they've become more luxurious with recent renovations.
- The management team is friendly and professional, and they've been consistently responsive to... maintenance requests and other concerns.
- Rent was affordable during my time there (around $800 for a 2-bedroom apartment in 2003), although I'm not sure how much it has changed since then.
- The fitness center and pool have undergone significant improvements and are now top-notch amenities that residents can enjoy.

Cons:
- The location is not ideal for those without their own transportation, as it's not close to public transportation and there are limited options for grocery shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

Overall, Somerset Palms (formerly Arbor View Apartments) is a great apartment complex with impressive amenities, particularly the fitness center and pool. However, its location and lack of transportation options may not make it the best choice for everyone." Lee mas

I just relocated to the area and finding an apartment has been a slow frustrating process. I drove by Somerset Palms today and decided to pop in and check it out. Britney, the leasing manager, was so warm and inviting! She quickly showed me a cute unit and helped me through the Application process while making it feel easy, which was incredibly helpful after a challenging apartment hunting process. If everything goes as planned, I hope to be a new resident in just a couple days!

I first moved here during the walk of Covid and it was very quiet, after Covid lifted everything became so lively. Kids skating, people riding bikes. It’s so cozy here.

Great for the Florida lifestyle of lounging around the pool and being close to the beach, even if you're moving a family into a rental. Can't beat the 4 bedrooms here!

The first year we lived here the community was great as described in all the other reviews here dated pre 2019. Then they changed the rules on qualifying to live here. When we moved in we had to make a certain income & pass a background check.

Once the rules changes, the cleanliness of the community went down hill quickly, we began to have pest control issues, toilets that backed up and flooded the apartment, maintenance jobs half done & an AC fire that took weeks to repair. Police were called... to the community on a regular basis to deal with various issues from our new neighbors, the pool bathrooms were destroyed and fights broke out at the pool between grown men!

We decided it was time to go. Spoke to the office staff who understood our concerns and agreed to let us go if we paid an additional months rent. After we had left we then received a demand for $3,500.00 for a termination fee. Don't rent here it has completely gone down hill. Lee mas
