Apartment Reviews for Cypress Lakes At Waterford - Orlando

Cypress Lakes At Waterford is adjacent to the Waterford Town Center commercial district. Residents can walk out their front door and shop at any number of locations, such as: American Eagle, Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Barnes & Noble, Pier 1 Imports, and many more. Or, if a tenant opts to eat out, they can visit: Starbucks, TooJay’s Original Gourmet Deli, Crispers, Friendly Confines, Longhorn Steakhouse, or even Chuck E. Cheese’s. There is a Regal Cinema movie theater with IMAX, also, so tenants don’t need to venture far from home for a good time. Some reviewers have noted small issues with maintenance or management, but others have described the grounds as "truly beautiful".

We lived here for a year and have nothing but positive things to stay about the maintenance staff! The original office staff was wonderful as well. During 2004 a new company took over and their office staff seems like they have things they rather be doing than talking to people who already live in the complex. Nothing rude, just not overtly friendly. The valet trash has us spoiled now and I sure do miss my doorside bench.

We never took advantage of the gatherings, but the pool is wonderful during the week, usually empty. The tennis court seems to be well kept. The maintenance staff was always helpful, many times fixing more than what they showed up to fix. They were alos wonderful in helping move or dispose of large or heavy items. We were treated wonderfully through three hurricanes and the complex was put back in order quickly after each.

I had my bicycle stolen from under the stairs our first two weeks in the apartment which was disapointing, but after that, there were no other security issues.

Parking was hit or miss, if you got home early you were right at your door, if it was late at night, you were three buildings away or more, and if you came home late on a Sunday evening, you could hope you didn't have to park in the shopping center next door. As we were leaving, they started watching for parking stickers more, so that issue might be getting resolved.

The stairs on the building seemed to be bolted to the back of my kitchen cabinets so all day and night it sounded like an earthquake and we actually lost a few wineglasses when people ran up or down the stairs.
