Millennium West Shore

Great management team! Very detailed, extremely helpful staff and very service orientated. Guest focused and the service support for the apartments is immaculate.
Thoroughly enjoy the social activities that they offer and the central location is perfect!
Relocating soon and they are helping me transition.

The staff is wonderful and leasing is very prompt! I started living here this year and it’s been really great. The units are very spacious and modern; the resident amenities are awesome and they’re being upgraded to be even better. [I love the gym and the pool!]
It’s also pet friendly so you tend to see a lot of people walking their cute dogs and pups :) and there’s a big parking lot with lots of room for guests~!

WORST «luxury» apartment complex in the area. This place boldly states they have a strong pet-​print policy (associated with residents who don’t clean up after their dogs). But that claim is a joke. I have stepped in dog poo several times in many of the courtyards, and seen poo’s in the hallways on several occasions. I once even called and asked them to remove from the hallway. The request was answered 3 days later, after many people walked through it, and most likely tracked it through their apts. A car actually ran into the building a few weeks ago, and myself and another resident were almost run over. The building did nothing to reach out to us, but everything to cover it up and act as if the major accident never occurred. The washers and dryers are sub-​par, and the fire alarms go off anytime the oven is set to 350 or above. SUPER annoying for anyone that attempts to cook or bake on any occasion. There are also drug deals that are obviously occurring right outside of the building, regularly. Not a place I would recommend to ANYONE.

I’ve lived here for over 2 years now, going on 3, and I still love it. This is hands down the best apartment I’ve ever experienced. The staff here is top notch and if you have any concerns, they respond back immediately. Vinny and Dave are two of our favorite staff members and they really go out of their way to make sure your living situation at the Millennium is the best it can be.
We continue to feel appreciated here and recommend this place 100%!

I have lived here for 2 years! Great place and location! The Staff is excellent and very nice! I highly recommend living here!

I’m really impressed with Millennium. The amenities that I really enjoyed was the dog park, garbage removal at your doorstep and the gym. There were lots more but I used those regularly. The units are very nice, huge bathrooms and closets, modern kitchen, and I was also able to rent an extra storage unit. Vinnie and Amy in the management office were straight up awesome. Extremely easy to work with and really helpful. I can’t believe with 380+ units they seem to know everyone really well. They even remembered my unit number when I came to pick up a package. I looked at other apartment complexes in the area and ultimately chose Millennium due to the positive reviews. If I could do more to endorse this place I would. Definitely pay them a visit if you are looking for an apartment.

My husband and I have been staying here for a year now and have had a GREAT experience! There is nothing to complain about and the front office staff is SO accommodating and friendly! Vinnie, Amy, and the rest of the staff have gone above and beyond our expectations! Millennium’s location is central to EVERYTHING! We are right next to International Plaza, nice restaurants, the airport, and a short drive to downtown Tampa, SOHO, Bayshore, and easy access to the highways that get you to Clearwater and St. Pete. The residents here are classy and I always feel safe walking around. The pool, gym, and grills are well-​maintained. You will not regret staying here!!!

I moved here about a month ago based solely on Unilocal reviews. Everything has been great so far and maintenance showed up the same day that I put in the request, they were also very nice. I can occasionally here the person above me, but it’s not that loud. Construction seems to be well built so that minimizes the noise. Trash service is worth the $ 25 and is always there on days scheduled.

We’re really happy here. I don’t think it gets much better. The complex is very well designed – the structure is concrete and very little sound transfers between units. The parking garage is set up to give nearly everyone a short walk to their unit and I’ve always been able to get a spot, no matter when I come in.
The office staff is phenomenal. Vinnie, Amy, and Laurie are so friendly and cheerfully handle any questions or requests. I’ve never waited more than 24 hours for a maintenance request to be fulfilled. The complex is very well kept up: the landscapers come every week, and it seems like there’s always someone out cleaning the common areas and touching things up. The gym is big and well-​equipped for an apartment complex.
The location is very nice. There is easy access to 275 that will be even better when the construction is done. It’s less than 10 minutes from our parking garage to the airport parking garage (and yet we almost never hear plane noise!) International Plaza mall is walkable and most other stores are a short drive away.
Other residents seem to mostly be professionals in the 25 – 50 range. Everyone I’ve encountered has been perfectly pleasant and they’re either not a very rowdy bunch or the concrete walls really do their job! There are regular cooking classes, brunches, and food truck nights that are fun.
The worst I can say is that our unit is a bit tired (the fridge, washer/​dryer, and carpet are all showing their age), the vinyl flooring in our main living area is ugly as sin, and that we had a minor ant problem when we moved in (took about 2 weeks of Terro and they were gone, never to be seen again) but none of these are really that big of a deal. This place definitely gets the major things right!

My wife and I really enjoyed life at Millennium Westshore. We stayed there for about three years, before moving into a home, and I still kind of miss it. The pool parties, poker nights, watching the hockey playoffs in the theater room… those were good times!
The apartment itself was nice too. Very modern look, nice appliances, plenty of cabinet space, a spacious balcony… and the cost was less than most other complexes in the area. Our rent was around $ 1500 for a 2b/​2b, and didn’t change much at the end of the year for renewal.
Management there is awesome! Catherine, Dustin, Vinnie, Laurie and Amy are a great team. They take a lot of pride in taking care of the complex, because many of them live there themselves. They constantly schedule fun events like NFL tailgates, pool-​side Super Bowl viewing parties, cooking classes, and numerous charitable drives. In addition, they constantly pump money back into the complex for upgrades like re-​flooring public areas.
During our stay, there were a handful of maintenance issues, which you will likely encounter at any apartment complex. But we were always treated professionally, and things were handled quickly. We didn’t usually want anyone to come in to our apartment when we weren’t home, so Eric was great about coordinating any maintenance visits to coincide with my schedule. Thanks again!
When it came time to move out, management understood our situation and helped make it a smooth transition.
The best thing I can say, management here is more worried about ensuring the happiness of their residents than the bottom line. We were VERY happy with our time at Millennium Westshore, and hope they are people’s first stop when looking for a new home in the Westshore district.

Millennium Westshore has been my home for over a year, and it truly felt like home from day one. The entire office staff is always willing to go out of their way to help any need their residents may have. The amenities here are the best you could ask for, including several grills, an excellent pool, weight room, tanning booth, theatre room, and coffee lounge. They also offer many exclusives to their residents, including a monthly cooking class with the chefs from Piquant, weekly boot camp, and discounted bucs tickets, and superbowl parties.

Living here is great. The staff is really helpful and the amenities are great. They offer a lot of events for residents like a monthly cooking class, weekly boot camp, Super Bowl parties, discounted Tampa Bay Bucs tickets and more. You’re really close to everything. Whole Foods, Target, International Mall and lots of restaurants within a few min. Downtown and Ybor is only 10 min and South Tampa is 5 – 10.
The maintenance staff is awesome and has always taken care of all of our requests in a timely manner.

All around amazing place to live. Perfect area and I’m totally in love with my unit. Management is also fantastic. This place deserves its reputation.

This apartment complex was my favorite even before I moved in. I reviewed the millennium online prior to moving. Once I arrived to Tampa and started looking at different complex millennium kept its mark at my number one.
Amy at the leasing office was just full of information and friendly.
Her team was also always so helpful. The amenities and most importantly all the charity and friendly gatherings they do make this apartment complex one of a kind in my book.
I have only been here a month and my husband and I love this place.
To all the neighbors hope to meet more of you soon.

My roommate/​boyfriend and I have lived at Millennium for one year now.
Pros:
It still amazes us how much the complex does for the residents. There are cooking classes, random free appreciation brunchs, discounted tickets to Bucs games, and parties for big events such as the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup. All of which they provide food and other giveaways.
They are constantly improving the complex and address resident issues in a timely manner.
I have never seen a bug inside of my apartment.
Vinny is the best. Knows my boyfriend and I by name and apartment number and always follows up on any concerns.
It is less expensive than many of the apartments surrounding the area and it has a porch/​balcony unlike some of the other complexes
Cons:
If you live on the 1^st or 2^nd floor parking on your floor can be difficult after 8 PM
You have to pay to rent the theatre room on weekends which is the only day I would actually use it
Overall unless having a free theatre room and walking a few extra steps are a deal breaker, I highly recommend Millenium.

Living at Millenium has been a pleasure from the minute my roommate and I walked in. Vinny, our leasing consultant, was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and welcoming. He still acknowledges us on a first name basis. The apartment is beautiful, the community location could not be better, and the maintenance is always very timely, going above and beyond when the can if we need anything. Great experience so far I highly recommend :)

*** Update: 07-​30-​2014:
I bumped this up from 3-​stars to 4-​stars. Why? Last weekend the A/​C unit in our apartment went out. I submitted a request online for its repair. It was fixed by lunch time the following day (Sunday). Management at the front office told me that they would have had it fixed on Saturday evening if I had called the emergency number. I didn’t even know I could do that! At the last place I lived (The Quarter @Ybor), it took them the better part of a month to fix my broken refrigerator. This kind of quick attention to maintenance deserves an extra star!

This is a great place to live, except for a few issues.
First, let me say that generally the neighbors are great. Unlike other apartment communities that are crawling with college students, most residents here are actual adults. This means that you can typically get a decent night’s sleep any night of the week, which is great for us since working weekends is a common thing.
Second, the units and the building in general are well maintained. If you have a problem then it is addressed within 24hours, with rare exception.
Finally, the office staff is friendly and courteous. They greet you by your first name and they are usually happy to help with whatever you need.
Now for the negatives (there are only a few)…
Trash pickup sometimes comes late and, on occasion, not at all. This was acceptable when there were trash storage bins outside the units. But when you have to haul out and haul in your trash bin at night and in the morning and find somewhere to store it in these modern, but storage lacking, units, it’s a real pain in the butt.
Guest parking bleeds into resident parking sometimes. This used to be a much bigger problem than it is now. About a year ago management started towing cars periodically and that has alleviated the issue, but it has not completely resolved it. I don’t know why they don’t just have assigned parking spots, so at least residents will always have a place to park within proximity to their units.
Grounds and maintenance staff are less than friendly and courteous. Everyone who has come to fix issues on the inside of my unit has been very helpful and friendly. However, grounds workers, painters, carpet installers, etc. can be downright nasty, rude and disgusting. I’ve had carpet installers literally stand in front of my unit smoking cigarettes (smoking is not allowed in the halls). I’ve seen painters leave garbage all over the place. And then there are the grounds workers who will literally stand in the middle of the parking garage, forcing you to drive around them and then they will bark at you for doing so.
Granted, this is not the most expensive luxury apartment community in Tampa. But it certainly isn’t cheap. And if we pay for nothing else, we should expect courteous service from grounds and maintenance staff, parking close to our units, and trash pickup that isn’t a chore. However, if you can deal with these (relatively minor, but annoying) gripes then the units are nice and clean, the neighbors are great and the office staff couldn’t be better — which, I think is more than you get in most apartment communities.

I agree with what many of the previous comments in terms of the amenities, the quality of the maintenance/​office staff, and the layouts of the units. In regards to those three things the Millennium is a very nice place to live. Additionally, they offer cooking classes, fitness classes, Sunday brunches, and many other extras that are done solely for the enjoyment of the residents.
The reason I won’t be back is more due to a quality of the construction (the walls are paper thin) and the amount of noisy activities that make your home there anything but peaceful or quiet. Mondays and Tuesdays the lawn crew is out before 8:00 am mowing, trimming, edging, or whatever else requires loud machines. There is no need to set an alarm clock on those days. If you are considering renting a unit facing either the entry courtyard or the pool be ready to hear people and noise at most hours. They have food trucks come sell food one night per week (and that is a nice idea) but if you live in the courtyard you will hear a generator running for approximately 4 hours every Tuesday evening. It seems the only times the complex is quiet are those hours when I am at work.
The mandatory trash valet has proven to be more trouble than its worth. Many nights my trash can is skipped and now the office has taken to emailing the renters trash violations (complete with a photo of the outside of your unit) if the trash is out at the wrong time or the empty can is left in the hallway for too long. It’s funny to me that I am paying for this convenience.
I have voiced my complaints to the management and while they are sympathetic little has been done. Catherine, the property manager, did offer me the option of terminating my lease early and I do appreciate that gesture but the pain of moving in the middle of a Florida summer means I am going to try to tough it out. I suspect the physical location of the unit you rent (its proximity to the parking garage, pool, and courtyard) plays a huge role in how much outside noise you will have to deal with so choose wisely.

I’ve looked at other locations in downtown Tampa and the Westshore area and as
far as price and location, I like it here the best! They have the best amenities and
everything you could possibly need right in one place.
The professionalism of the staff in the leasing office and the efficiency of the maintenance team is top notch. It’s also centrally located to the airport, right next to the International Mall, a few exits from downtown or the Hyde Park area and only 45 minutes from the world’s best beaches. You can’t beat it! Living the Florida lifestyle right here in our back yard.

I moved here just about a month ago and love it. I had visited about 5 other apartment buildings in the area and they never seemed to WOW me like The Millennium did.
The office staff has been nothing but super friendly any time I have been in to ask a question. Two thumbs up for Vinnie.
The maintenance staff all all very friendly as well when you pass them in the hallways.
Love, love, love the gym! I spend many early mornings in there and appreciate the nice cardio and weight equipment and it isn’t over crowded.
By far, this has been my best apartment living experience b/​c in many ways, it doesn’t have that typical apartment feel to it. My unit is lovely …2÷2, with a killer master bathroom. The garden tub is a plus. Very spacious throughout. I have a first floor unit and really love the polished, concrete floors and the exposes duct work and cool lighting features. Definitely doesn’t have an apartment feel but more like a loft.
The location is perfect. I’m 2 miles from work, 1 mile from Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, the airport, and 20 minutes away from several beaches in the area.
I would highly recommend The Millennium to anyone.
