Lincoln Pointe

I currently live here and I’m pleased with the choice I made. Lincoln Pointe is one of the few apartment complexes in Aventura; I believe there are only 4 complexes in the area actually (Waterways, Camden, Promenade, & Lincoln Pointe). When I moved here I decided I wanted to rent from a rental company directly instead of an individual person, my preference was an apartment complex.
At first I thought Lincoln Pointe was on the expensive end of apartments for Aventura, but once I visited 2 of the other complexes nearby I realized how many hidden charges they had on top of the rent. All I pay additionally here is cable/​internet, water, and electricity. The other complexes you have to pay for similar utilities but there were hidden fees for keys, parking, trash, and other random add ons. I found Lincoln Pointe to be upfront from the first time I visited the property. I mainly dealt with Marna who was extremely helpful and responded quickly to questions on email. I was moving out of state so all my contracts had to be mailed to the complex ahead of time.
The complex is kept up extremely well. There seems to be gardeners on the property at least once a week (they may not be but it feels like it). Every Friday there is an exterminator on the property spraying for bugs, they come into each apartment once a month to also spray. One thing I liked here compared to the other properties I looked at was the lack of bugs. Some of them supposedly sprayed but there were bugs everywhere. Maintenance responds super quickly to requests, usually within a day. They are helpful and friendly.
Sometimes people do piggyback in on the gate, which is not supposed to happen but there is nothing stopping them. Other than that the property feels secure and has ample lighting throughout the hallways and the parking lot. Sometimes there isn’t much parking on the weekend. My only complaint, which isn’t about the property itself but is about fellow renters. Some of them let their dogs go to the bathroom anywhere. In the building I live in, sometimes there is dog pee on the cement but I haven’t seen it in awhile. I’m hoping something was said to the owner because it is rather gross. The only other thing is barking, which always seems to come from the little dogs living here. One of the smaller dogs in my building does try to jump at people when you walk past (I feel like it’s actually trying to bite), which does drive me nuts. There are some larger dogs and they are extremely well mannered and don’t seem to bark constantly. It’s only a few of the owners that seem to not care. Other than that, the property is great.
The staff in the office are friendly and helpful. They also hold packages there from UPS and Fedex if you aren’t home. Lincoln Pointe is in a great location near to Fresh Market. I’m really happy with my choice and feel this is a nice complex. There wasn’t many choices in the area, but even if there were more choices, I still would have chosen Lincoln Pointe.
