Preserve at Manatee Bay Apartments

I been living here for 6 mounts staff have been great and really helpful.Ground are always clean free of trash will highly recommend living here.

Since I moved in 3 years ago, the office staff has completely changed three times. The maintenance staff has changed twice. They don’t take any maintenance request seriously and are very slow to fix anything. Our air conditioning went out several times over a 3 week period and each time they would take hours to get to the apartment and fix it. Finally after the umpteenth time of it not working, they replaced the unit. The property was bought by new owners a year ago and since then they just... don’t care about anything. Took them about 5 weeks to fix water damage after a hurricane. The office staff doesn’t answer the phone even though they are in the office. You have to go to the office in person to speak with them. Parking is ridiculous. You get 1 assigned spot and there are a couple of guest spots at each building. Some residents have 3-4 cars so you fight over a guest spot every single day. There is not enough parking for residents, never mind if you have a guest park too. They raised rent $400 one year and they now charge you for valet trash. The valet trash is mandatory fee whether or not you use the valet trash bin they give each apartment. Mind you the valet box holds ONE 13 gallon trash bag and the won’t empty it if the lid is not closed. There is dog poop everywhere since some residents don’t clean up after their dog. Rats run around outside. Roaches in apartments. I would not recommend living here. There are much better places to live in Bradenton. Read More

My rent has gone up 40+ percent in two years. They cosmetically cover serious building flaws. Cheap renovations and repairs. Rude management. No help when or consideration for tenant inconveniences. Landscaping is old and half dead.

They slap paint on buildings and call it an expensive sounding property and charge full market value in rent.

Upon moving in I had a family of raccoons living in the attic management does not care they called a pest control company who would not trap or relocate or do anything at all! So I had to leave the apartment for a few days until the raccoons left! Upon moving out they tried to charge me over seven thousand dollars I will be seeking legal action against them! Lived there for a few years and they changed ownership a few different times and every few months have a new manager in the office. Nothing... ever gets fixed! Constantly had water issues pipes that broke around the complex as it’s a very outdated water system, many days without water! 8 days without power during the hurricane and was told we can not have grills to cook how can we survive! This place is a nightmare Read More
