MAA Seasons Apartamentos

I lived at Seasons at Celebrate (phase II) for just over four years, and I found my time in the community generally acceptable. Overall, the community is conveniently located, usually pretty quiet and has decent living spaces with good amounts of storage, and the screened-in patios on nearly every unit are a nice touch.

With that said, I've lived in some terrible apartment complexes previously, and these are far and away the best I've lived in over the last decade, but there's nothing super... luxurious about them. The appliances are super basic, the spaces generally lack natural light as a result of their configuration, and the "hardwood" flooring in each unit is cheaply made.

One of my biggest problems I had while living here was that the appliances in our unit were clearly aging and ready to be replaced just a year after moving in. Our dishwasher started getting really loud and the dryer stopped working efficiently. Management refused to replace them, despite their admission that they should probably be replaced, and stated they would only do so if they stopped functioning entirely.

Community amenities also regularly fell into disrepair even though they added a "community fee" to our monthly rent to cover such things. It was not unusual to see the pool turn an unpleasant green before it was opened for the season, and anyone who lived at this community can tell you that getting management to fix/reinstall the parking gates was a 2-3 year saga that only was resolved right before I moved out. It's really disappointing because the maintenance and management staff were always very friendly and responsive to requests and questions -- it just seemed like there was never any urgency to get crucial community amenities fixed when they needed it.

I wouldn't have been so bothered by the slowness to fix things if they hadn't also changed their lease payment policy a year after we moved in. Whereas previously they would allow a 5-day grace period to pay your rent at the beginning of each month, they changed this up to a "pay before the end of the day on the first or we tack on a 10% late fee, no questions asked" policy. Demanding expediency from your tenants to pay up when you refuse to fix important things like the parking lot gate in a timely manner is certainly a choice by management.

Lastly, be sure to ask about the costs of living with pets. Dropping $400 as a non-refundable pet "deposit" plus a monthly "pet rent" fee for just one cat always felt insulting. Lee mas

Call to confirm the pricing in the rent specials. Went to see apartments and nothing is accurate. There is no $200 off monthly rent and prices are higher than advertised. It was a waste of time. It's nice but not worth it given the area . Plus any type of dishonesty turns me off as it shows what you're going to have to deal with once you get in.

My fiancé and I have lived here for about 4 months and we do love it. It’s peaceful and very pretty. The Apartments are very nice and maintenance is always fast and reliable. The grounds are kept in great condition, other than maybe the breezeways needing a good power washing. Since I have lived here the gates in and out of phase one have been broken, which is unfortunate. Also the trash, I don’t think residents always understand that you have to compact the trash after throwing in your bags, so... sometimes the compactor is overflowing which I believe could be avoided if people used the compactor the correct way. The recycling is always full as well which maybe need to be emptied more often. Over all the experience here is wonderful, just a few minor things that could be fixed. :) Lee mas

Worst place I have ever lived in. They force you to pay for cable and a pest fee. Also you pay for trash and the compressor has been down for weeks so they let a bunch of trash pile up outside. The gates to get in and out never seem to work.. seems like a safety issue to me.. also not all ESA animals are accepted. The screened in porches are covered with bugs and seem to never get cleaned. Also they seems to have a million dog at the complexes doubt they all pay pet rent... and no one cleans... after the poop. Also people smoke in the apartments can smell it when walking by but doubt they get charged. Lee mas

Overall, the property and area is a good mix of quiet and busy. The environment feels very safe and comfortable. The other residences and staff are very friendly and open.
