Avon Park Apartamentos

The bad reviews here are 100% true the worst ever!! There are rats, old outdated and it looks like from the 80s. The apts are cheap but not worth how horrible it is here. There are scary residents here that are all mostly older and are not friendly and seem to be mentally ill.
The pool was never working the whole time, mail boxes broken into never fixed and they do not care to make any efforts to fix this!!. The apartments next to Terrace are worse.
Save your money and the stress!!!

Here I thought my washer was "dead" when it only took the easy magic touch of James to bring it back to life even after I tried the minimum of unplugging and re-plugging it back in. I must have forgot to place it on a setting yet at least I didn't waste any time or money on other maintenance when it was not necessary. I was very appreciate of James stopping in to check and re-affirm that it worked!.. "Prompt and efficient. Very nice and helpful. "
"I love this place! It feels like home. I have... been here for four years and do not plan on going anywhere. Terrace View Apartment is great!" Lee mas

We enjoy the quiet atmosphere and all of our neighbors are great. The grounds of the complex are kept neat and clean, it looks good all year round. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this complex to friends or family. The office and maintenance staffs are always available for any problem, small or large. I don't have anything negative to say about living here. "
"Everyone is very friendly and helpful"

In addition , "The repair to our shower that restores hot water pressure was completed right... away and with no headache. After living here for over five years, this is the best the shower has worked. When something unfortunately goes wrong, the service team at Terrace View Apartment does an excellent job at making the necessary repairs in a quick and efficient manner at all times. Keep up the great work!" Lee mas

I hate to give a place one star, but I have to with this one. I lived here with my husband for two years. First, the positives;
1. The manager, James, is very nice.
2. There is a 24 hour grocery down the street, as well as several small places to get a bite to eat, dry cleaners, Starbucks, a drug store, etc. There is also a daycare within a 5 minute walk, so if you have children in daycare; this is super convenient.
3. You are only about a 10 minute drive to the airport. Nice if you work... at the airport.

Now, the negatives;
1. The advertisements are false. You DO NOT get what is advertised.
2. The appliances are at least 20 years old. I am not kidding.
3. The grounds look terrible.
4. The pool is never filled--NEVER. I was told it has been more than five years since it was filled. The pictures in the advertisements are from several years ago.
5. There is a racquetball court, but it is always locked up, so no one can use it. It was never unlocked, in the two years that I lived there.
6. The cabana/hot tub has been not operational for as long as the pool has been empty.
7. There is no security patrol, as advertised.
8. Maintenance jobs are shoddy and not safe.
9. The dumpsters are allowed to overfill. Twice I saw a rat.
10. The mailboxes were constantly broken into and were not professionally fixed, so they were simply broken into again.
11. The neighborhood has many convenient places, but it quickly going downhill.
12. There is absolutely no play area for children, so they run around screaming and making the grounds look even worst.
13. The place is noisy, even late at night. Don't move here unless you are a sound sleeper.
14. Plumbing and electrical wiring are ANCIENT. You can't plug too many things in at the same time.
15. Some of the tenants are a bit scary. When I lived there, one tenant was regularly visited by his crack dealer. Another was arrested outside of my unit.
16.. The tenants in the neighboring apartment complex are worst.
17. Cars are broken into on a regular basis. The parking lot has very little lighting, at night and no security is offered in the apartment complex.
18. As soon as your lease is up, your rent will get a serous hike. Lee mas

This place is horrible! Do not move here!!! Nothing like the description offers!
