The Preserve, tallahassee-fl

I absolutely despised living here. My random roommate placement did not align with me at all and there are hidden fees you are unaware of until your last month of rent. This entire year I have not paid more than $850 in rent (after utilities) but in the very last month before I move out they are asking for $300 in “predicted” and “past month” utilities. This makes my rent OVER $1000 even though I have never paid nearly that much and am a struggling college student. Me and my fellow 3 roommates all are paying $300 in utilities with no warning but a week’s notice. Not to mention the facilities provided in this “community” are nowhere near up to par with payment. The pool is super outdated and the gym is no better than keeping dumbbells in your own room. Even the initial mini fridge I was given had stains and mold in it so I ended up bringing in my own. This apartment is also extremely out of the way if you attend FAMU. In high traffic it can take over 20 minutes to get to campus. There also is a HUGE bug problem! Bugs would get into our apartment no matter what. One time I found wings for the ladybug pest look alikes inside of my bathroom wall outlet. We also have dead bugs all around the front door even tho it’s never open for long periods of time. I highly do not recommend staying here as the prices you will end up paying can get you a much better and more updated apartment.

I love living here! They are quick to fix issues and do their best to make sure that you are comfortable. Their amenities are always clean! The study room is lovely and its usually where I am, that or the gym. The gym also pretty much has everything that i need! They have events sometimes which makes living here so homey. Would definitely recommend here to anyone who wants to live with roommates!

I absolutely loved the home tour at The Preserve at San Luis! Tamika was so sweet and did an amazing job showing me around. It’s a townhouse-style apartment, and she explained everything clearly. The community is beautiful, environmentally friendly, and has such a cool vibe. They also offer great amenities, including a 24/7 gym, a study lounge, a game room, and a pool. Overall, I truly love the place. It’s the kind of space anyone can easily adapt to.

Some packages can only be picked up from the front desk. I ordered a package and at 2:12 the package company said it had been delivered. I wait for the text to pick it up at the preserve front office and the text gets sent at 3:59 when they close at 4. I instantly rush over and Tameka had just locked the door the second it hit 4. We’re both standing infront of the door and I said hi you just texted about the package can we grab it real quick, she said no she just set the alarm, I said ok but you have keys can we grab it really quickly and she said no come back tomorrow. She turned me and three other people away. I asked for her name she gave it, then asked what the issue was, I said nothing and walked off and as I’m walking off she yells “the packages came late Logan”. The packages did not in fact come late she simply waited to do our packages last thing before getting off. Why send the text at 3:59 and not wait just a single extra minute. It’s valentines day and I really needed that package as it was a gift to my gf. I’m disappointed in the lack of common courtesy, it’s her job to give our entire community our packages and she failed everyone today.

Unfortunately, this property has severely declined as far as quality of life since I moved here. Recently, my roommates and I missed a memo to clear out one of our storage closets for inspection, so the “vendors” that were sent over threw our personal belongings on the ground, damaged MUCH of it, and left it laying on the ground, wet and broken. Zero regard for the tenants and their property. Thats only the most recent issue I’ve had while renting here. It’s honestly sad, but a once great student housing option in Tallahassee is looking like it’s on a fast track to become another Seminole Grand (now known as Renew). The new management has also been inconsiderate and the maintenance crew is lackluster overall. Dont let old reviews fool you, the new management is tanking this property at an astounding pace.
