Madison Oaks Apartment Homes

Had been living many years. All the bad reviews are ACCURATE, please heed them. The positive reviews are lies, trust me I know. Maintenance is a joke. Office doesn't care about you or your problems. They only Want your money.

I lived here for 5 yrs only because I hated moving. The area is crowded & surrounded by office buildings, complexes & condos. You hear all the traffic from McMullen Booth like ambulances, horns honking, etc. It’s VERY noisy.

Don't move in without seeing the actual unit. Built in 1988, old pipes with rusty water stains & the mold in the walls made us sick. There’s also no exhaust in the apartment, not in the bathroom or kitchen. The HVAC in our unit was likely original from ‘88. We paid around... $250 per month for electricity because they wouldn't replace it.

My experiences with the different mgmt companies were bad. From the terrible move-in that forced us to stay in an airbnb the 1st week to the latest mgmt that is very incompetent, with ZERO accountability. There were several stars, but they quickly quit. Due to high turnover you can never build a rapport, & have to explain the history of an issue repeatedly. I once waited 6+ mos to have a lease issue resolved, only to get a reply by going in person. An employee quit & took several signed leases, then waited months to get the extra fees taken off. They also raised rent hundreds of dollars “because the market increased”. I had to pay more with NO improvements made. My last 2 yrs there had a $400 increase in rent. No paint, no new carpets, NADA - for 5 yrs.

When Ive brought up any issue to mgmt that isn’t in their template of replies, they malfunction. If your question requires other than yes or no, you go gray waiting for a reply. Document everything & get it in writing or kiss your security goodbye. Be cautious & remember - they have access to your credit. Choose wisely.

The pool is ok but again mgmt acted like I was attacking them by reporting a lot of black bacteria growing on the bottom of the pool. A few days later it was closed for ‘renovations’.

There’s no playground, not good for kids. OK for dog owners, since there’s a small dog park. Due to the amount of dogs, there’s always barking & poop left somewhere it shouldn’t be.

The lawn techs just blow leaves & dirt all over your patio & onto cars. With oaks everywhere, your car will be covered in pollen daily during the spring.

The maintenance mgr Rusty has been there forever & did whatever he could. I hope he goes to a better property because I still cannot recommend living here.

Curious to see if I get their template reply here, since I have an excel of unanswered calls & emails while I was living there. Will keep an eye out LOL!

This place will hire contractors to do (non-emergency) construction work outside your window at 9am on a Sunday morning, after also being there all day Saturday, so kiss your relaxing weekends goodbye. Don't move here if you value your sleep and peace and quiet. After almost 30 years of apartment living, I can honestly say that this is the noisiest place I've ever lived in. You're lucky if you get 5 hours of sleep and forget working from home (if you need a quiet environment for that) or taking... naps on your day off, the noise is constant and you can even hear it over your TV. I've had more quiet time sitting in an airport. Loud music from the neighbors, late night parties, excessive door slamming where your windows rattle, dogs barking for hours on end, screaming so loud that I called the cops because I thought someone was being murdered next door (turns out the grown-ups were just playing, that continued EVERY single day for months), tons of big loud trucks and Harleys in the parking lot that rip you out of your sleep at 5am 7 days a week. There is also dog poop everywhere and not just on the grass. Bring a flashlight if you go outside in the dark, so you don't step in it on the way to your car like I did. The tennis court is often used as a dog park, so watch your step there too. Be prepared for long walks if you come home later than 7pm on any day, there'll be no parking anywhere near your building. There are rules everywhere (pool, tennis court, dumpster etc.) but don't worry, you don't have to follow them because nobody does and the leasing office chooses to enforce only the ones that suits or directly affects them. I can't wait for my lease to be up, so I can get out of this horrible nightmare of a place. Definitely not worth the outrageous amount of rent they charge…but hey, if you fancy living in the middle of grand central station, this might be the place for you. Read More

We enjoy living at Madison Oaks . Great place to live, conveniently located in Pinellas County, close to everything. Madison Oaks offer unique, specious floor layouts with the ground level entrances to each unit. Whole apartment complex is like in park setting with lots of greenery and mature oak trees.
Most of all management is great, super friendly and very helpful. We were pleased with the level of assistance we received at time of applying and we still are. The maintenance staff are top... notch too. Read More

Found this place 3 years ago and have loved living here. Over the last 2 years they have done many improvements. New equipment in the gym, new gutters, new exterior paint job, etc. The staff is great and has brought in food trucks, had fun raffles, etc. Rusty and the maintenance staff are top notch. They are quick to respond and do quality work. We plan on staying here many more years.
