The Slade at Channelside

I am moving to Tampa from out of state and The Slade was at the top of my list. Unfortunately, it is absolutely impossible to get a hold of a human. They only offer self guided tours, so I was going to send a friend to look at a unit and twice requested a time. The Slade never confirmed either. If you have specific questions that only a human could answer (what is the view from this unit? How long can it be held out?) etc, they will not be answered because their only offering is a bot. I’ve… become completely turned off by how hard they make this process and I think it’s a good warning as to how poorly the property is managed, which I discovered through these reviews. I talked to tons of other properties in the area who set me up with amazing and helpful leasing agents. Skip The Slade. Read More

Save yourself the trouble and live at any of the other complexes in the area for the same price and the service and quality and cleanliness you would expect for a luxury price. Patronizing upper management that shields themselves with lower level employees. Disgusting urine and wet dog smell through the building. Badly taken care of, unclean, even the residents have no respect for their own living place bc the management has set that as the standard. They leave trash everywhere. Hot tub is… broken more often than not. Maintenance efforts are laughable. Often they come and glue stuff together and it breaks immediately after. One of the worst drywall repairs I’ve ever seen. Key fobs and elevators broken constantly and never actually fixed when they are supposed to be. Parking after 9 pm is a gamble and the complex has more higher priced, assigned spots than regular unassigned ones. guest parking has been overrun, probably by people who happen to know the gate code and use it as free downtown parking. there are only like 20 available anyway. Never heard of paying for water, electricity and also the gas to pay to heat said water. Oh and false fire alarms in the middle of the night are at least every 3 weeks. Read More

We have lived here for 1.5 years and our experience has been terrible. When we were moving from Kansas City to Tampa about 3 days before our move-in, we were notified that our apartment was no longer available. All other units were more expensive and management was not receptive to make accommodations for quite some time until we got the regional manager to assist us. We've had several other issues, A/C died within 1 week of moving in, Washer/Dryer issues, water coming down from the ceiling and… light fixtures, and now the biggest issue, flooding. Our unit floods every time it rains. The Slade and their management team refuses to come up with an actual solution to the problem. They dry the floor, take out our base boards for a few days. have our bedroom a scattered mess, and then put it back when it is dry. Then it rains again, and the flooding happens yet again. They don't fix the problem and continue to same mess. We have had people in and out of our unit almost everyday for the better part of 3 months. We are ready to move to any place in Channelside that would actually take care of the units they own. Don't move here. Read More

I have had lived here for a little over 2 years. I absolutely wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The new property manager, Megan and her team is incredible. As well as the Maintence crew! Vinny and Eddie especially have always helped me with anything & everything I have needed and with a smile. I would highly recommend living here.
