Plantation Colony Apartamentos

Plantation Colony offers such a comfortable and homely environment. Their staff is welcoming and makes each interaction special. From the detailed-oriented tour to the warm hot coco, I was pleased with the visit. The apartments are spacious and offer a great deal of wiggle room for personalization.

Cons:

- Appliances are old, and outdated. They poorly paint over electrical panels, outlets, and light switches to make it look “new” but that’s not the case

- Frequent power outages even on clear days. I had to call maintenance several times to fix this issue

- Huge bug problem. My building in particular had a carpenter ant infestation. Had to call maintenance multiple times for this as well but the infestation remained

- Good luck getting a security deposit back. They owe me almost $400... and I have yet to receive it and doubt I ever will

- Limited parking. Had to avoid parking my car under any tree because almost always I would find iguana poop all over my car if parked under a tree (I attached a picture)

Pros:

- Close to 595 & a variety of shopping plazas with many shops

- Responsive maintenance

- Would landscape frequently. They keep things clean mostly. Just don’t go to the dumpster as that was often overflowing and messy.

Frankly, residents deserve better at this price point. There are much newer buildings in the area at a similar price, and they are objectively better.
I would avoid any Greystar owned apartment complex as they seem to prioritize profits over a positive living experience for residents. Good Luck! Lee mas

Plantation Colony has been our home for four years now. We never anticipated staying in South Florida this long, but we wouldn’t be anywhere else. The convenience of the location is a perfect match to our needs. We walk easily to grocery, retail, and dining location. Some weeks my car doesn’t move at all.

The Management and Maintenance teams are professional, efficient, and kind. I recommend this property to all of the parents in the Nova Southeastern Facebook group on a regular basis.

It a wonder place to live. It’s a community of comfort and kindness.

Sense of community has always been utmost important to my family and I. Planning to rent for 15 months, we didn't want to lose the sense of community that we have enjoyed in all our homes here in South Florida. No matter what neighborhood in which we lived, we always found "community!" We were not prepared to have such a sense of community here in a rental community, and were delighted to find people friendly, but respectful of privacy, and although it's only been a month, we love it here. ... We love that our sweet dog, Bear, feels at home, has met some new playmates, and enjoys his long walks, and the dog park, and the walkway near the canal. We're about ready to check out the Pet Washing Station, and know he will love his new bathing ritual. As a realtor of 35 years, and moving into this area "short-term" we feel we have not had to give up ANYTHING. We love our new community! Five stars!! Lee mas
