The Landings at Long Lake

"I wouldn't even give it a 1 star. Mngrs never in office. They don't return calls or answer emails. I have had an ant problem. For a while nothing has been done. I have lived here 4 yrs. They have no sprinklers that work for grass that's why it's all so dry. Owners could careless. Garbage always broke and full. Can't wash your vehicle because the outside system doesn't work and managers could care less. I have been thru SEVERAL mngrs here DO NOT MOVE IN HERE. IT SUCKS. Trust me."

"I was very skeptical about the complex before moving in due to the reviews. I moved here at the beginning of March 2023, and learned it was all new management a few months before moving in. I have never had any issues in my apartment. And the staff in the office is so kind. I will be staying here for a while. And the maintenance staff is just as welcoming."

"My family lived here for about 3 years. I am going to be 100% honest in this review based on our experience. In the time we lived there new management/maintenance had taken over after about a year and a half. After this change, the grounds were not as clean. Trash would be left out on the grass and the road for a while, whereas, the previous maintenance men cleaned trash every morning first thing. The apartment itself was not bad at all, however, "luxury" should be removed from advertisement. In 2006 when they were built, maybe it was, but not now in 2023. We had a major issue with ants in our unit and we are VERY clean, OCD people. The ants were coming out of the outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Pest Control came out numerous times and nothing ever helped. Be prepared for your power bill to be astronomical. Maintenance came out many times to look at and fix our unit and the air constantly runs even if you turn it high. It was constantly freezing and we would have to let it "thaw" for hours before we could it and that would be during the summer. Our electric bill for a 2/2 with 2 people was over $220 during the summer and we are very energy efficient people. Kids will play in the middle of the street and run out in front of your vehicle daily. Two kids actually chased our car a few times, no parents in sight. You can hear absolutely EVERYTHING outside of the unit and the units beside you. We had an issue for 2 years with tenants beside us playing video games until they moved out. Lakeland Police Dept was called almost every night and the office notified every time but we were told since they paid their rent on time, there was nothing they could do about it. It was pretty insane. People leave their dogs on their patios to bark all day and late times at night, even though lease states you cannot. We never had an issue with parking, however, parking was a major issue for other tenants. If you come home after 6pm you could be parking 2-3 buildings away from your house so I recommend spending an extra $100 a month for a garage to park in or in front of it. You're probably wondering why I have The Landings 2 Stars instead of 1 after everything stated. The 2 Stars goes to how nice the office staff and maintenance men are. They were always there to answer our calls and come out day of to fix things they could and always had a smile on their face. These guys work extremely hard and as stated were always so nice and professional. In my opinion, the buildings/units need to be updated and lease rules needs to more enforced. All in all, it's not the worst place to live in Lakeland and it's in a pretty good location."

"Have lived here for about 5 years now and it is a somewhat decent place to live. The maintenance team are friendly, the apartments inside are pretty clean, and it is a safe community with at least two police officers living at the community. However, with the new management, the apartments have gone down hill fast. The trash compactor is constantly overfilled with trash, the landscaping and the front yards of the apartments are not kept up, almost all of the ac units in the buildings do not work correctly, the security gate is always broken, and the pool is used by outsiders. If you can look past all of this, it is a decent place to live but don't expect any good amenities or the management to be good."

"My husband and I lived here from 2021-2023. Erica and Iris that worked in the office when we first signed our lease were great. Erica was so helpful and cared about the residents but once the new management came and they hired all new people in the office things started quickly going downhill. We had a lovely view of the lake and the apartment was a good size. The parking situation is horrible, hardly enough spaces. There is one dumpster for the whole property which is always overflowing and people just dump their trash right on the chute or on the sidewalk right in front of it. There is always a mess by the dumpster. The pool is okay, since they don’t monitor who uses it people often drive over from who knows where and park and bring all their kids to use the pool for free and they don’t even live there. The garages are a plus and quite roomy. Also don’t expect to get your security deposit back. We cleaned the whole apartment but had to leave just a few items behind, a futon and a few boxes that wouldn’t fit in the moving truck and our cars and they kept our whole deposit because they claimed it cost them $495 to clean this. I wouldn’t recommend renting here, not with the new management."
