Apartment Review for St. Lucie Place

Upon seeing the outside of these apartments, you would think this was a really nice apartment complex. But going through your 1st walk thru, be sure to REALLY inspect these apartments. They are in need of some MAJOR upgrades. Kitchen cabinets are cracked/peeling and painted over, the carpets were painted on (if this place has been more than touched up since 1997). Also, getting maintenance to take care of an issue with your vintage appliances is worse than a root canal. The office staff changes on a weekly basis, being that they can't get anyone to stay, and everyone they hire is great if you're a new tenant... although, when you're a current tenant, you can HEAR the agitation in your voice when you call for repairs. If you're on the 1st floor, as I am... BEWARE. Even a 2 year old walking you can hear plain as day. Although the neighborhood is nice and quiet, and a good place for kids to play, as long as you keep them away from the drug dealers in the next building. Basically, this is an OK place if you're on a budget (and don't watch cable for an addl $65 a month, and you are not able to apply for ANY specials from the cable company). But be ready for lots of repairs... Because they dare not REPLACE any of those vintage appliances. (Washer,Dryer,Dishwasher are being worked on every month, rather than replace). And the income restrictions? That's a green flag for slum. Come see for yourself! St Lucie Slum is NOT the place to be!
