The Rowe Apartments, tallahassee-fl

Went here to look for an apartment for my FSU student. Was a little leary due to many bad reviews on Google. It actually seemed very nice. It smelled and looked clean in all the common areas. They have so many nice rec/study areas for the students. The model room looked nice. I would just have to see what the actual room ends up looking like. Apparently there are new owners and it looks like they are doing a good job. Not sure if this will be the place my student chooses but I would take the bad reviews with a little skepticism.

I have two boys that live at The Rowe in separate apartments. Want a single, and one double. I can tell you that this has been a very pleasant experience for me and for them. The staff has always been incredibly responsive and attentive. Consider considering the size of the building, and the amount of students that live there, they do a really great job. Very safe

DO NOT LEASE HERE!!! One of the nastiest/worst places to live in tallahassee. 1. There are constant infestations and bodily fluids everywhere from kids going out. 2.Management is so rude and lacking any professional experience. They charge $200 for a trash bag left outside door for a couple of minutes on MOVE OUT DAY. 3. On top of that the rent prices are absurdly high and get higher each year by a ridiculous amount. You would think with all of that money they would use it to be responsive and fix constant issues with the gym or courtyard or sauna. No. Things will go broken for months before you can "get your money's worth" and even then it still wont be worth it. 4. I moved in here fall of 2025 and when I moved in I didnt have a lock on my room door nor did I have an actual bathroom door for MONTHS. Its now summer of 2026 AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE A DOOR HANDLE FOR MY BATHROOM!!!! 5. Do not let the nice looking "renovations" fool you, this place will always be what it used to before they renamed it.

When I first moved into The Rowe, everything seemed fine until I actually got into my apartment. Despite being told I couldn’t move in early because they “needed time to clean,” the unit was filthy and multiple things were broken upon arrival. I had to place maintenance orders immediately, and it took over two months for anything to be fixed. I have photos and documentation to back this up. The elevators on the back side of the building have been broken for months with no urgency to repair them. On top of that, there’s no way to access the stairs from the first floor unless you go through the lobby a major safety concern.Noise is another huge issue. I understand it’s a college town, but parties at 1 AM on a Tuesday are ridiculous. I called security about one incident, and no one ever showed up.To make matters worse, the stairwells are disgusting I’ve personally seen rats, vomit, and human waste, and the trash areas constantly overflow. The hallways smell terrible, and roaches and bugs are everywhere. Please avoid moving in here if you can. They’ll make it sound nice on tours, but once you sign, you’ll realize you’re paying premium rent for unsafe and unsanitary living conditions. It’s simply not worth it. Update: I called the Florida department of health they will be investigating shortly this is not my first interaction with rats at this apartment complex and not the first time I’ve made them aware of rats in our complex

I'm not gonna lie, this place needs improvement. The elevators are almost always out of order, the gym is seriously lacking in machines, and it smells. But on the other hand, for the most part, it's not management's fault. One staff member, Jonny, has reassured me that these problems will be taken care of. You can't really expect much out of a college apartment complex so I will give them grace. Also the WiFi was out for a solid two days without fixing but that's on the internet company, not management. I have hope that it will be improved and want to yet again shout out Jonny for making me feel at ease about these issues.
