Village by the Bay

"I have lived in Village by the Bay for about 6 years, 3 years in one apartment and then 3 years in another. I can say that it has been one of the most pleasant experiences. You really feel like its a little "village". If you have a dog or just like taking walks you'll get to know your neighbors. People will smile, say hi, talk to you if you're up for it. The management has changed 3 times since I've been here but all have cared about their residents (renters and owners) and their well being. Dasha, who currently works there is a joy and made me feel like she had my best interest anytime that I ran into any issues, she was always available to help. I am moving out into a new condo, only because its's time for a change, but will definitely carry this place in my heart. Highly recommend it."

"Beautiful and safe place to live in the heart of Aventura, walking distance pharmacy, groceries, Shopping, restaurants a few minutes to the beach, schools, doctors, Aventura Hospital and more..realmente es un maravilloso lugar para vivir!!"

"We own a beautiful condo at Village By the Bay for over 7 years now, my experience with the property management, specially with Lilian Kiseleva and Mark Zitser has been nothing but positive. Their responses are quick and issues are addressed promptly. I will happily recommend them to anyone. My family and I spend every summer here at this property and always enjoy our time there."

"If I could give this place 0 stars I would! Where do I begin... this association is handled so unprofessionally!! We were so excited and thrilled to be moving into such a beautiful community.. but don’t let that fool you. Ever since moving into this place it’s been a total NIGHTMARE. The manager liliana and assistant manager mark have told me and my husband completely different rules since the day we moved in here! PARKING is your worst nightmare. They hassle you for money and they are incredibly rude to deal with. They tell you one thing and then go back on it the next day.There is someone from management calling our phones every other day complaining about one thing to the next.. one thing being that my boyfriend cannot Park his car in the garage because it has his business name on the back. never in our agreement did we know this would be an issue! Another is that his vehicle sticks out too much in the parking space so he has to park it on the street. Then it became he had to park OFF THE PROPERTY! An incredible inconvenience considering the fact we are paying so much to rent here. Then the gate guards tell us we can have an extended 2 week pass for our stay here.. then they call and say only one week.. then it becomes no pass we must BUY a $50 barcode for both mine and his vehicle which was never agreed upon. The property manager of this building told us we can do the weekly extended passes but went back on her word. They call us repetitively and even on no caller ID to argue and complain about every little thing. There is no order in this place. No one person setting the rules straight. It’s a total unprofessional mess!! On top of this... there is ant problems because the buildings are so low to the ground and the complex is very noisy. I was shocked to see this place have such great reviews but these are from 8 mos ago. DO NOT GET FOOLED WITH THIS PLACE like we did. Rent and buy in a more credible, professional and NICER community. We cannot wait to leave here....."

"MANAGEMENT IS AWFUL!!! Mark and liliana... made our time so unenjoyable (assistant manager and property manager) horrible experience... very rude, hassles you for your money, goes back on their word. Worst association experience ever. Cannot wait to leave this place. They were so rude to my wife and I. Would call us over and over again and even on no caller ID to complain about everything!! Very noisy, ants in the buildings. Would not recommend to anyone. Please do not let these beautiful grounds fool you. Do not sign on to an association like this one!"
