Carlton Arms Of Winter Haven

We have been here 5 years and have not had any major problem with maintenance. Any problem was taken cared of quickly. Other than storm related issues things have been great.
I have no problem seeing us stay here well onto the future!

I appreciate living here at Carlton Arms. The apartments are well-maintained, spacious and the rent is very competitive to surrounding apartments. I just renewed my least for a third year stay. Although the rents are competitive, I must say they have been increasing quite a bit annually and more this current year. For 2 reasons, I would have chose a 3 1/2 star if that was an option (they definitely don’t deserve a 3 so I chose 4). This year, in addition to the increased rent, a $40 monthly… assessment will be assessed monthly beginning in January 2024 for a digital streaming package. For most, that is a great deal. However, for my family, budget and Faith it is not. We currently get cable included which we do not use and have not turned in the television for about 2 years. Due to our faith, we do not entertain ourselves with TV nor stream movies. Now, I’m being forced to pay $40 for something that I don’t need (streaming, internet, cable). We currently only use internet and we qualify, based on circumstances, for the $25/month plan, and the internet works great. Under the new plan, I will be forced to pay more because of a deal that was worked out and I had no say so. It really stinks that I will be forced to pay more for what I already use and other stuff that I don’t need. The second downfall is that the parking is not always great. There is a guest parking policy that is not at all well enforced. So, I often come home and have to park farther away from my building and walk back because unauthorized cars are taking up the spaces. Some park and leave the car for days. The funny thing is, I’m usually inconvenienced when it matters most (having to carry in lots of groceries or having my foot in a boot and shouldn’t be walking too much, to name a few). Life here would be much more pleasing if they would assign at least a parking space to each apartment and enforce the guess parking rule. Then we wouldn’t have one apartment with 6 guests taking up spaces or others leaving their vehicles while they are out-of-town although they don’t live here. The parking is the greatest reason I’m planning to move next year. Besides those two things, Carlton Arms is a great place to live. I love that they also are intentional about planning community events to promote relationships among residents. If you don’t mind the parking situation (worse in the back of the complex), I do believe you will find this a great experience and great place to live. Read More

We've been here for 3 years. We love the community. You really bond with your neighbors. There are a lot of people who have lived here for over 5 years. It really is a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone. There are lots of kids of all ages here. We've even made doggie friends for our dogs.

The apartment is perfect. Clean and everything works great. It’s perfect for me! I highly recommend it.
