Madison At Largo Apartments

I’m going with 2 stars for this apartment complex for a few reasons. Let’s start off with the initial impression. Initially I really loved the way the demo model was setup. The hardwood floors were awesome and the layout seemed very interesting and certainly «different» than most of the apartment complexes in the area. After returning to talk about pricing I realized something pretty quickly.
These people will nickle and dime you more than I’ve ever seen from any other complex. So the rent that I got was $ 725/​mo plus $ 50/​mo for water /​sewer /​trash. If I wanted a downstairs unit that’s an extra $ 35/​mo. If you want a corner unit that’s an extra $ 10/​mo. or if you want a assigned parking space that’ll be another $ 20/​mo. If you want a unit with a «view» (LOL) that’s also an extra $ 10/​mo. Also, the upstairs units are CARPETED and not the nice looking wooden finish that you get with the downstairs units. After moving in I didn’t really experience any issues right away. The fans were a little squeaky which I resolved myself. About a month later the bath tub started to leak from a hole on the side of the tub every time I would take a shower! The maintenance guys were called down 3 times to fix this issue and only on the third time did we stop experiencing this issue.
The parking for this place is absolutely horrendous! I couldn’t complain more about parking in any one place than I do here! People park wherever the hell they want to park. They’ll park in NO PARKING zones and park in the scooter /​motorcycle parking areas. They’ll double park along side other cars because they are LAZY. When I bring this to the attention of the front office they never do anything about it. They don’t give a damn about the parking situations at ALL.
The only positives I can give this complex is the apartment itself isn’t too shabby (even though it’s too expensive). I haven’t had too many problems with neighbors except parking as described above and the gym area is «okay». I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and am saving to leave by the end of my lease. Good riddance.

I have lived here for about 9 months. The water and electricity continuously goes away. I am currently looking for another place and plan to sue in small-​claims court to get out of my lease. This place is a nightmare.

Wished neighbors were more considerate of each other apartment is falling apart, cars speed through parking lot, pools never cleaned properly, gym stays dirty, no rules or regulations

I have so many great things to say regarding our experience here that I am simply going to list them:
–We love the landscaping. It’s tropical and yields a resort style feel.
–The leasing office and internet café is beautifully decorated. We were impressed. Very contemporary, trendy, and clean feeling.
–Office staff is very friendly. Not only were they professional in their dealings with us, but they were dedicated. They didn’t make promises they couldn’t keep. They were forthcoming and also mindful of our requests.
–We were initially concerned that our apartment wouldn’t be as nice as the model. We were wrong. We requested an end, corner unit and they were able to accommodate us. It’s just as gorgeous as the model.
–The light fixtures and ceiling fans were a big plus for us. They’re sleek and classy in feel, quality in function.
–The bathroom is split so the toilet and shower are separated with a door from the vanity style sink/​counter. The lighting is great.
–The bedroom is surprisingly large (we have a king) and that’s not including the spacious, walk-​in closet. Also, another thing we’ve been appreciating are the full-​slide hanger rods that enable you to slide clothes across them without getting caught on any dividing pieces of plastic!
–Our kitchen is very modern and came with new appliances and gorgeous granite-​looking counter tops. No icemaker or garage disposal, but there is a dishwasher!
–The layout feels like that of a home, in my opinion, as opposed to an apartment. And we are only in a one bedroom!
–Our back patio sectionals were made with new wood. And the light automatically comes on, as does everyone’s in the evening, providing a feeling of safety and awareness as to what’s going on outside our «home.»
–We received our first community newsletter that was kindly written and included a calendar of current community events, informative info (ie parking repairs coming up) and even a recipe of the month.
–They really provide value here to you. The gym is updated. Equipment is new. It’s inviting. It’s clean. I *want* to workout there, and do! There are 3 pools on the property that are clean, and decorated nicely. Furniture is all new-​looking and fully matching. We love it here!
In summary, I would absolutely recommend this community and these apartments to move in to. Despite other reviews, I can tell they really care here. I pay attention to detail, I am a photographer by trade. It’s picturesque here, and as my mom and grandma noted, «It feels like a resort or spa.» It’s relaxing, clean and a place I am proud to invite my friends/​family over to, hang out at and, most importantly, live in. As a small business owner, I know that testimonials & reviews can make or break ya and I hope this heartfelt summary of how I feel is well received. Cheers :)
