I believe the security guards get commission for calling the towing company. So a casual Saturday you might get home at 6pm. All parking spaces will be taken (meaning visitors, loading zone, not parking zone, etc) and you’ll park in an empty spot or wherever, could be assigned to someone else, yes! Are you allowed to? No ! But at least they can have the security call you by your license plate because you live there, they have all the information about who’s car is whose. And you pay an… incredible amounts of deposits and association fees, plus a yearly visitor parking pass that allows to park in a visitor parking space if there is space because you only have one parking space assigned per apartment. (yes, your visitors pay 5$ for 6 hrs of parking, so you might end up not getting a parking space at your own house) Long story short... 2 hours later your car will be gone. Instead of giving you a nice courtesy call. I understand we didn’t have space can you move the car now? No! But they rather call the towing truck company! Get their commission and have you pay $200 on towing fees. Read More

The building is very nice, its new, modern, the pool is great and the gym is decent. However the staff is inconsiderate, untimely and the security take their job to an annoying extreme and parking is a nightmare.

My Pros are:

Nice building, good amenities, nice proximity to the main highways and Miami international airport (you can see it across the lagoon from you).

My Cons are:

The staff, they're terrible. If you don't speak Spanish the staff is at best dismissive and at worst… aggressively rude. The security guards don't speak English, and seem to almost go out of their way to use their non-existent authority to interfere with your day to day coming and going. The community has extremely strict rules on guests (they have to pay to enter, and cant spend the night without risking getting towed), the pool, gym, and loud music/noise/parties. Those rules would be great but they're not followed (if you explain to the security or staff in Spanish your situation they normally let you do whatever).


Overall if you don't mind the people you live around its great because of how close to everything it is. Read More
