GrandeVille on Avalon Park

Love calling this place home! Great staff and always helpful. Clean area and my pup loves the dog park! I recommend this as a new home!

We’ve been here 14 months now and are very happy with this community. Any complaints I could make all seem petty or things that are just to be expected in a rental community. At initial move-​in, I could say that the leasing office wasn’t as responsive as I expected them to be, and as such they mixed up our move-​in date and had to scramble to get our place ready the morning we were driving from S. FL with everything we owned. The carpets were still wet when we arrived. However, since then, we’ve been pleased with our interactions with them. Any maintenance requests have been taken care of quickly and by a professional, nice staff. The common grounds are well maintained and it’s a very pretty community.
I’ve read other’s complaints about the parking situation. It is problematic, but I saw a staff member checking tags and stickering cars just this weekend, so they’re working on it. I’m fortunate to live near the mailboxes where there’s extra spots so even when I have to park there, it isn’t a long walk. And, yes, it isn’t brightly lit at night, but I’m sure the people who live on the 1^st floor wouldn’t want it be. I’ve never felt unsafe here. They’ve fixed the gates and now it’s only occasionally that you’ll see one stuck open overnight and it’s always fixed quickly.
The apartments are VERY spacious and well appointed. Coming from S. FL, we think they are an excellent value. There is so much storage space in our ²⁄₂ — 12 cabinets, 8 drawers and a pantry in the kitchen! 6 closets not including the laundry room! And I love, love, love the valet trash service! I don’t understand other’s complaints about thin walls. I’ve NEVER heard my neighbors. We’re on the 3^rd floor and the only noise we can hear is from the parking lot when you’re sitting near the living room windows. Now, it is a young community, so there are times on the weekends when you’ll hear music or people talking drunkenly in the parking lot. But I can count on 1 hand they number of times it’s actually been bothersome, and it’s never carried on so late that I had to make a complaint.
Add the convenience of living in Avalon Park and it’s proximity to Waterford Lakes, and I can’t think of a better place to rent in the area.

I don’t understand why this place has a 3.5 star rating but hopefully my experience can change that.
1^st and foremost I absolutely love the leasing staff and the apartments! I am not the easiest person to deal with but Courtney made my move in experience so smooth. I have never moved into a apartment where I didn’t have to come to the office to hold a apartment. I am a mobile business type of chick so this was so convenient for me. I rented a 1 bedroom and it is super spacious for the price and location. People are complaining about little stuff, if you choose to live in a apartment your going to hear some noise and maybe certain services won’t come as quick as one would like but grandevilla is a APARTMENT with 426 units. Another thing I liked was that the entire staff lives on the property. To me that says a lot! Go GV! Go GV! Go GV!

I’ve lived here since June and this place is by far the best apartment complex I’ve lived in. The whole leasing process was so simple and to the point. Ray (one of the leasing agents) was so helpful from beginning to end via phone and email.
Their amenities (pool, clubhouse, etc) are always well kept. I’ve had to call maintenance just a few times for minor things and they’ve always responded within days. Whenever I’ve had an issue, the staff was always willing help.
The grounds are beautiful and the apartments are the most spacious I’ve seen. They are a bit pricier but I’m getting my money’s worth, definitely.
I’ll be renewing for another year!

I recently moved out after living here for 3 years. Let’s start with the positives. This is probably one of the nicest apartment complexes in East Orlando. The grounds are kept up very well. The lawn guys are there at least twice a week. The amenities are nice. They offer a pool, indoor basketball court, gym, community rooms with pool tables and games, Internet café, dog park and play ground. The apartments are very nice. They are the largest and most spacious for the price of the rent compared to other properties. Ask about the upgraded apartments that offer stainless and black appliances, granite, crown molding etc. They offer pretty decent community events for the residents that include wine tastings, various holiday dinners and kid friendly events. The maintenance staff is awesome! I’ve never had any issues with them.
Now for the not so nice issues I’ve had with this place. When I originally moved in there was a completely different staff. I should note that I had previously lived here and decided to move back. The staff was great! There is now a completely different staff including the property manager. They are all just blah! Very non committal when you have a request. I wish that they would take the things that are happening on this property more seriously. The police activity has increased due to several domestic issues. The gates are always broken so you’re paying for a gated-​community with non working gates. Even when the gates are working you as a resident had more issues getting in due to having to wait behind all of the visitors at the gate. In the beginning we had awesome security. They would even stand at the gate checking licenses making sure people who were supposed to be there could get in vs the ones that had no business being there. Now security is non existent. One of the many faults for this property is that parking is horrendous!!! If you don’t have a garage then you can’t hang it up! You will most likely have to park several buildings over. This is unsafe especially since the lighting at night is really terrible. Most of the community lights are out. Not sure if there is an electrical issue but it seems as if once it’s fixed it goes right back out. There are several people that visit this property and have no respect for the residents that pay to live here. As mentioned before there is an indoor basketball court. The people that use it the most do not live in this community. They do not pay the high rent to use it. They actually use it for free. I refused to go to the pool area because of the broken glass, chairs thrown in the pool etc. If security was truly doing their job then I’m sure this wouldn’t happen.
The walls to the apartments are paper thin. Be prepared to listen to you neighbors conversation or hear other fun things that go bump in the night. Yeah you can put in a noise complaint but it’s not going to do you any good cause the construction of the buildings are crappy.
I could say more but I think you get the point. The rent here is super high! I was paying more money in rent than my friends that own homes. And they own very nice homes. I hope that they get their act together here because it’s a nice property. I felt safe living here initially but that changed as time went on.
