Maintenance Tickets, Internet, AC, and parking issues
The parking situation here is honestly ridiculous. You can get booted for parking in spots that aren’t even labeled. I actually got booted when I first moved in, and now it’s happened again because the parking permit they gave me apparently expired after a year. I didn’t realize that, and when I renewed my lease they never gave me a new one or sent any kind of email about it.
What makes it even more frustrating is that I literally have a sticker showing I’m a resident and still got booted. The... communication from management is seriously lacking, and parking is already extremely limited as it is.
And parking isn’t the only issue. There are ongoing maintenance problems, appliances like the dryers and ovens are outdated and constantly breaking, and the AC acts up. If you work remotely or need reliable internet for studying, that’s another problem. The internet only seems to work about three weeks out of each month.
Overall, I would strongly recommend not moving here.

Property Manager at Hideaway Gainesville responded to this review
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate your feedback.
Regarding parking, we sent multiple emails about the annual decal renewal, including where to pick up the new permit, along with the updated shape and color so it was clear older... decals were no longer valid. These communications also included a countdown to when enforcement would resume and vehicles without current decals would be subject to booting or towing. Enforcement is handled by a third-party vendor based on permit status—not residency—so expired decals are still subject to enforcement.
Regarding internet, we do acknowledge there have been intermittent disruptions in the past with our provider. We’ve been actively working to improve reliability and understand how frustrating that can be. We also want to better understand the maintenance and appliance concerns you mentioned, as these are typically addressed promptly when reported. Since this review is anonymous, please reach out to us at info@hideawaygainesville.com so we can look into this further and assist directly.
