Arden Villas

Have not moved in yet but the application process has been great. They’ve communicated clearly and have been very quick to process docs. Looking forward to the pool and the free shuttle to UCF.

It’s pretty good aside from people littering and not listening to emails about trash. Also needs a new pavement layering by the gate. The gate is just for show, hasn’t worked since the second month of move in.

My experience at Arden Villas has been nice so far. Quiet place, 24/7 open gym, pool, jacuzzi. Good place to live near UCF campus.

There could be some improvements. Eg, cleaning the building staircases and trimming the palm trees for ALL residents that pay for the scenic view.

Arden Villas itself is a very cozy and convenient place to live. It's within walking distance of many good restaurants, it's a 5-10 minute drive from campus, and the shuttle services are a definite plus! The rooms are very large (I live in a 2x2), the kitchen is a decent size, and the high ceilings make the apartment itself feel a lot more spacious. There is not a lot of storage options though, so I would definitely recommend bringing in your own. There is not a pantry, so I had to accommodate... for that lack of storage space for my dry goods.
However, Arden has a SERIOUS pest problem. My apartment was infested with German cockroaches, and I am still dealing with this problem. Management brushed it off at first, denying it was an infestation, until Massey confirmed it. The management staff itself does not seem to take tenant issues seriously unless you spam them with complaints. I love my apartment, but the constant issues with pests and management make it difficult to live in peace. Read More

Apartment is nice. Big room and shared space. Can tell that the apartments are older but are still nice. Parking is hard to find at times. Need community grills.
