Southgate Towers 900 West Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139

"This is the first review I ever wrote for a complex. Rent in Miami seems be decreasing and at South Gate it seems to be going up. Unfortunately, the price you see is not the price you pay. My first night moving in I got stuck in the elevator and nobody was answering the emergency call button I ended up having to call 911. It seems to be a constant occurrence at this point as about two weeks later I saw a guys stuck in the same elevator and I had to walk down 15 floors and at the front desk they had no clue anyone was stuck, even though they have an array of cameras in front of the. I noticed that the elevator certificates are expired. When it comes to the rent the price you see is not the price you pay. I am attaching a screenshot of all the Utility charges. For a place to be considered luxury living the walls are paper thin. It is not all bad, the views are great, the pool is nice. The gym is satisfactory and the people seem nice, at least my neighbors are. At this comment I am certain I wll not renew my lease if the price remains the same or continues to climb. Mind you the current price we pay is 2,562 a month + electric plus all the utility fees... it seems the someplace is being rented for more now and I dont think it be worth it. When it comes to parking, alternatives exists, if you don't need your car everyday or dont mind a 10-12 min walk the local target offers monthly parking and I rather save the 70+ dollars a month and in exchange I also live a healthier lifestyle. Update***** Tuesday February 6th. Had rude encounter with one of the recepionsity today. Asked if a package has arrived (mistakenly gave her the wrong name that it is under) when she came back to tell me its not there I apologized that I gave her the wrong name and if she could check again...she could not be bothered to stand up again and accused me of calling her liar....great. I have received packages a month later after reordering because people at reception are incapable of checking a name and will tell you "that name is not on the lease" both of our names are on the leas. Packages never arrive, if you are not signed up for Luxor one packages will still go into that system and you have to reorder and reorder until you get lucky and it either arrives at your front porch or the mail room. Paying 2,562 a month + electric plus all the utility fees for the crappiest service. I can guarantee I will not be renewing my lease when it is up. Elevator has still not been inspected..."

"Don't move here unless you want to be treated like garbage and have them force you to spend unnecessary money. I have lived here since 2020 and when Gummerick was the owner this was an amazing place to live, always with good energy and it was a true community of friendship, neighbors, and amazing staff. Unfortunately, they sold to Air Communities and now this has become the worst place to live. You can feel the corporate greed passed along from Air Communities in every aspect of living here. Here are some of the things Air Communities has done to me: Raised my rent 40%. Negotiated with some residents to a 20% increase and refused to negotiate with others Raised the monthly parking 50% I had my rent payments on auto debit and they took an unauthorized $3450 (this was in addition to the amount they were supposed to take- so double rent payment) and I had to waste my time for a week fighting with management and Air Communities to get it back They took out a nice room that was a community area that was used for parties with a pool table, couches, and table and replaced it with a room full of lockers that charge you $10/ day if you don't pick up your package within 2 days. Also they are going to start charging an annual fee for these lockers. If you don't use the lockers they will have your packages returned to the sender so there is no other option and you are forced to use the locker system. Constant issues with the elevators being broken and the inspections certificate is around 2 years past its expiration date. They used the wrong type of paint in my unit so walls scratch very easily. I asked to have it repainted when i renewed my lease and was told they would not repaint the walls The inside of the apartments are outdated with old appliances, hardly any storage and i would not consider this luxury living The view is amazing so If you do end up moving here be sure to join the group chat *SouthGate_Chat so you can hear first hand from all of your neighbors the many insulting ways that Air Communities treats their residents or while viewing apartments, pull a resident aside when you are not with a leasing agent to get a first hand perspective. As mentioned I have lived at Southgate since 2020 and all of the good reviews that you see are from people that work for the company or I have never even seen before."

"I have lived in Southgate Towers since 2007 so I have seen many changes here in the building, the renovation and area. I love living here as a whole - the staff has alway been excellent and responsible along with responsive even with the change of management last January. The staff is excellent. And for the most part I have had no issues living here with my neighbors who have become friends - from Doctors, to models to a Night Club manager it has been peaceful except recently but management is aware and dealing with that grumpy " Karen " cat lady who keeps harassing me - she needs to move. The Gumenick owned building honestly had a more family feel and Air needs to do the same and be less corporate. Its a beautiful location and very quiet - great view. Close to everything and no need for a car if you work from home."

"Southgate Towers is amazing! We've lived here for years and the community here is awesome from our great neighbors to the wonderful team! The whole team feels like a family here, very close and connected to the residents! From the front desk to the maintenance team to the management team they are all kind, helpful, and very personable. It is super family-oriented here, the team is always creating fun events for the community from holiday parties, our local DJ at the pool on Sundays, yoga on Wednesdays, poolside projected movies on a huge screen to random ice cream nights and events. The grounds are pristinely kept and the amenities are everything you would imagine at a luxury building. Thank you to the owners of this building and the team who manage it all for creating such a safe community for families. It reminds me of how it was when I was a kid, all the kids playing together outside and having a close-knit community that you can trust. Living here is like a parallel universe to the rest of the world in our endless summers and gorgeous pool looking across the bay at the Miami skyline."

"This is the best apartment community in Miami Beach! And I really want to emphasize the word COMMUNITY. The office staff, the front desk staff, maintenance crew, cleaning crew...they are all super nice, professional, and take pride in the property. And that pride and joy in their work creates such a welcoming and warm community. And the property itself is stunning! The views, location, and amenities are why I chose Southgate. This place looks and feels like a resort. I also really appreciate the 24 hour security and how safe the communityc is for my wife and I. If you are looking to make Miami Beach your home, I would definitely recommend checking Southgate Towers out!"
