Algarita Lakeside Apartamentos

Expect to have roaches as your roommates, work orders will never get done, and don’t even think to voice your issues to management because they can careless! Been trying since July to talk to upper management and of today 08/28 finally got a hold of Angela the senior regional she was extremely unprofessional.. Laughed with a colleague and not once apologized for the infested apartment me and my new born had to live in, up until now I decided it was best to leave to my moms. It makes me... absolutely sad because I am more than sure there are others in the same ship as me and not everyone is fortunate to have family to take them in. This is a place we call home and for them to treat us like some animals is not right. Lee mas

We lived here a full year last year and omg I’ve never had a management so incompetent ever!
We moved in with a mold stain on top of the ceiling in our washer and dryer room. We filled out the form with all the things that were wrong with Apt and put in a work order , never came to fix it. Maintenance has always taken their time, mailroom kept getting broken into, had to use my parents address and pick my mail up there. When it was finally time to move out, we have our notice 60 days before and... they were trying to keep us longer than we had to. I fought it and got it taken care of but it took over a month to get any response from Alfred (current manager) then after two months of having moved out I got a notice of getting charged for a cleaning fee and repainting & it was because of that mold stain that was there when I first moved in. Horrible experience with them. Honestly, I never take the time to write reviews cause all Apts have their good and bad things but this management has been such a mess, and never take accountability for anything they do/cause. I highly advise not to move in here. Lee mas

Ceiling leaking again for the 8th time. Guess it’s time to move since the last roofer they hired told me they will only pay for a patch job and not fixing the real
Problem. Recently, new mngt took over but I’ve heard the song & dance too often and this has gone on too long.

Do not move here, the gates are constantly broken, cars are being broken into and stolen, cops are in and out of here every other week and the new management doesn’t show the slightest bit of concern. Everything is old, the stairs are a tripping hazard, roaches galore and other tenants do not pick up after their pets. We haven’t been here a full year and already have multiple reports with the police for vandalism and theft. Save your money and move somewhere else

We moved in three months ago. Since living here we have observed:

There have been two water outages that lasted several hours, one of which was roughly all day, and several shorter water outages without explanation or warning.

The mail room is in such disrepair that the USPS stopped delivering to multiple boxes. There is still no option to drop off outgoing mail (and there has not been since we moved in). Packages marked “delivered” frequently go missing.
The buzz-in box outside the gate has... been seen physically damaged a few times. The planks of wood that make up the gate swing in an unsecured fashion when the gate opens and closes.

The trash dumpster mysteriously appeared to have been set on fire one day. Additionally, people keep bags of trash outside their doors all the time. Litter in general is visible all over the premises. There is broken concrete everywhere.
The air conditioning in our apartment has broken three times and is unreliable at best. Front office told us that many apartments have been at 90+ degrees awaiting repairs.

The washing machine for some reason cannot do cold water. It is always hot no matter what is selected.

We spotted cockroaches on move-in day. We keep a clean apartment and have continued to see cockroaches, ants, and wasps. When walking around the apartment complex you can spot many wasp nests outside the units.

Maintenance requests are frequently ignored. We still have outstanding requests from our first week here. Some outstanding requests that have not been addressed: ceiling fan in the bedroom that does not work, inoperable bedroom light, a toilet that requires multiple flushes to work, and a ceiling fan in the living room that is not properly secured (it is jutting out of a hole in the ceiling where wasps are seen to go in and out).

A tattered and torn American flag was flying outside the office for a long time. Now there is no flag.
