Renters beware. I moved out in the spring of 2022. The lark fraudulently charged me $1000s of dollars worth of FAKE damages. I had pictures of the entire condition moving out in great condition. They sent me an itemized bill for things, but failed to include ANY pictures. They were trying to defraud money front me. I complained. THEY IMMEDIATELY SENT IT TO COLLECTIONS.I made an agreement with the collector and paid as agreed shortly after moving out. However, this was EVIL to do to a young persons credit. I will forever resent this apartment. DO NOT LIVE HERE THEY WILL SCAM YOU and harm the next 7 years of your life.

Appalled by the hypocrisy in the leasing office right now!
One of my biggest concerns and NECESSITIES I looked for in an apartment complex before moving to Gainesville was accessibility to guest parking due to the amount that my family comes to visit due to family and medical reasons. On my tour I was told that “Future Resident” spots are what the Lark uses as their guest spots… Now I don’t know if the girl who gave us the tour forgot to mention this rule applies only around office hours, but I would truly like to know how all of my roommates, friends in the Lark, boyfriend and I have all separately been told that it was more than okay for guests to park there at any time of day. NOW suddenly, $150 at Superior Towing later, and thinking the car was STOLEN (since the garage gates have been open for weeks now, I truly don’t know what’s going on down there)… they claim this has always been the case and that “many” emails have been sent… And as someone who checks my email 10x a day, I can confidently say that the last email sent having anything to do with this parking rule was sent on Tue, Aug 19 at 10:19 AM. Now I don’t know if they purposely sent this email in the height of move in season and the start of the seamster so that the FINE PRINT would not be seen but this is absolutely absurd and an issue that needs to be addressed immediately. It has been 5+ times that I have asked for a overnight guest parking pass into the garage and every single time… I have been told they are out, but suddenly today after paying to get the car back, they pull out 2… which I seem to find very ironic. I suggest for anyone wanting to live here in the future… make sure to read the very FINE print on everything because you never know what they could suddenly enforce next. Also, good luck to any guests trying to find guest parking because it seems that at the Lark Gainesville that is nonexistent.

Absolutely horrible, I have been lied to numerous times about their parking policy and have now been towed; meanwhile, nobody who works there has been able to give me an explanation as to why I was towed. If you live here, do not allow your guest to drive, or they will be towed.

This place is terrible!! The gym treadmill has been broken for almost 2 years, and management has never fixed it. The water fountain has been broken for a month, so you can no longer get water in the clubhouse. In addition to the cable in the gym that has been “waiting for maintenance” for over a few months. They are likely to respond to this review, stating that they are working to fix it, but it's the same response they have given when asked about the treadmill for almost two years now. This is not a closed community to campus, so when I signed, I thought about using a scooter or an e-bike, but now you can't, in the new housing agreements you cannot harge e-bike/ scooter in you apartment that makes having one impossivel. Be prepared to walk 15-20 minutes to campus every day. Also, it seems that management does anything to you sign and give them money, and after that, make your life more complicated. DON’T SIGN HERE. You will be much better off in another community. I know this because I have friends living in places with similar prices that actually work to improve residents' lives. All that without even mentioning the thin walls, so be prepared to hear everything in your roommate's room and neighborhood.
PS: decided to leave this review anonymous because unfortunately I still live here and my lease goes until next year😖

Beautiful lobby with 3 closed study rooms and a table tennis and pool table. Lovely Jacuzzi and pool for friends along with a grill which many people use. My apmt has been nice and clean, not many bugs or complaints. Highly recommend living here compared to some other options.

My Child just completed the first year at the Lark. Administration pushing to renew since February . All good except the lease is higher than the initial lease and Admin not willing to renew at the same price.. Price incentives usually drops in July/Aug but once the lease is signed early your screwed.. I also noticed a few TVs in the hallways have been damaged and have not been replaced for the past year. Other than that my child loves the location, building, amenities. Truly I'm surprised that no special concessions are offer to renew the lease... in fact the management is saving money by not having to revamp the apartment. Well enough said.. Overall Building and amenities 4 stars , Management 2 Stars.. Hope this Helps anyone looking to Lease..

Don’t recommend if you care about who your roommate is. We initially were told there would be no issue of me and my sister living together in a two-bedroom. Turns out they couldn’t/wouldn’t guarantee that though when it came down to signing the lease. We walked because they refused to put in writing we could room together, which was the entire point of us getting an apartment and touring the place together. Why would she or I put ourselves in a roommate raffle essentially when we were already prepared to pay a lot of money to live there together?

I like the building and the apartment itself, but the reason I signed here over other places are the amenities. The amenities that have not proven to be worth it at all. The pool, for one, is not heated and is extremely cold, so it cannot even be used. Furthermore, most of the tanning beds on the pool are extremely dirty and it is clear that they have never been cleaned. The gym, which was the other amenity I signed for was the gym. The gym from the outside looks like it would be amazing, but it is far from it. Many of the benches are ripped. The cable machine attachments are all severely worn out. Only ONE of the five treadmills actually works, and that causes me to have to wait long periods of time to actually even utilize the treadmill. I have contacted management about this several times - and crickets. The first time about three weeks ago, they told me to be patient, and so of course, I waited a few weeks to reach out again. The second time, they did not respond at all. This is extremely frustrating, as treadmills are the most basic part of a gym. Speaking to other residents of the community, it is clear that this has been an ongoing issue for months, if not years. If you are looking to sign at lark for the amenities- go elsewhere it is not worth the premium price for the subpar features and equipment.
UOADATE: it has been three whole months and still nothing. I am very fed up with the maintenance in this building.
New update: I spoke to the manager Izabella pino about an inspection in my apartment and brought how the treadmills are still not working and she suggested I look at other places to live at next year. I do not believe this is professional, as I would just like the amenities I pay for to work and I have never given any issues to the building. I feel very disrespected.

It gets 2 stars because it barely meets the basics of being a livable apartment with all standard necessities. However, hoping for anything beyond that is laughable. The internet is unbelievably frustrating, crashing sometimes monthly and taking multiple days to fix. The hallways are noticeably dirty and randomly smell fetid at times. The parking pass is very expensive, and for that you get a parking garage that is way over capacity at all times and too small. The gym is nice and the mail system is very modern, but the downsides are constantly frustrating and get in the way of fully enjoying the experience being here.

I have loved living at Lark! It has been a great experience for a college apartment complex. The buildings are very nice and all of the common areas are beautiful and kept extremely clean thanks to the wonderful and very kind cleaning staff. I love going to the pool after my classes and the gym provides everything you need for a good workout. I especially enjoy using the large, mirrored studio in the gym. One thing I also appreciate is the location and security at the Lark. I feel very safe here, and the security team really adds to that.
The management team is also great. The people at the front desk are always friendly when I walk in from my classes. Nicole, the assistant general manager, is wonderful. She takes the time to make sure any situation that arises is addressed with the proper care and attention it deserves, which I feel is rare from a college apartment. Although there are issues that arise living at any apartment complex, the personable staff and great amenities make living here very worth it!
