The Julian Orlando Apartments

Since it is located right next to the Valencia College/UCF downtown campus, the building has that college dorm vibe. I've seen adolescents walk around shirtless in gym shorts/flip flops and kids running around. There is constant noise pollution from the hallways and doors slamming, especially during the evening. There have been numerous times of people screaming and cussing at each other late into the night. (Huge negative.)

The amenities are ok. Half of the EV chargers are always out of... service. They only limit 2 hours of charging every 24 hours. The gym is ok as well. I do give props to the facilities team. The one's I have interacted with have been super nice and professional. Read More

Lots of amenities, close to everything, excellent location.

The building itself is one of the worst pop up covid apartments! It is far from luxury. It’s fruit fly infested, pipes have bursted multiple times ruining apartments and belongings, the fire alarm gets set off which might not be annoying but if you work early in the morning it’s a huge inconvenience especially when it happens about twice a month. People wait at the door to try to sneak in behind you, there’s no guest parking they will tow your friends car from the hours of 6pm-8am. If you want... to have friends over they have to pay per hour. And you have to go get your friends. Once they fix the garage (not sure if it’ll ever work it’s been broken for 6 months) how will my guests get in? They don’t have fobs so not only do they have to park on the 7th floor I have to go all of the way there just to open a door. We pay $25 to park in the garage and for what? There’s no security watching the garage and no security on property period. I wouldn’t mind paying if that money was actually going somewhere. There’s one security guard on property and that’s only because the gate is broken. There isn’t any pantry space for food, the cabinets are extremely small, there aren’t any storage closets for towels or blankets, there aren’t any light fixtures except for the kitchen, and the ac is the cheapest thing I’ve ever seen. I miss my old apartment in Kissimmee that I paid $600 less a month for. I cancelled a lease to live here and they truly offered luxury amenities. I was offered two months free but I’d pay the two months to GET OUT. Read More

New management came less than a year ago and they’ve already turned this complex into a complete s***show. In the past 2 months, we have cars getting broken into almost weekly, refusing to fix the garage door. They allow fire alarms to go off weekly, many times in the middle of the night. They tried to sneak 2 extra charges onto my rent thinking I wouldn’t see it, had to dispute both times. Implemented new parking and threatened to tow anyone who didn’t pick up their tag within a week. Some... other extremely poor aspects are them not keeping their pet relief area sanitary and forcing me to run a dehumidifier (which is basically as loud as the fire alarm) on 24/7 because someone flooded their apartment 8 floors above me. Terrible experience, would not recommend this apartment complex to anybody unless it’s their last resort. Read More

Flooding, elevator broken, maintenance walking in without knocking, 0 guest parking, and other issues have been a huge problem at The Julian. I’ve been here 2 months and I am ready to break my lease and move on. I’ve stayed in a lot of high end places over the years and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had. I do not recommend living here at all.
