Run away as fast as you can.Don't trust reviews by someone who hasn't lived here yet, or has only seen a model unit.Also pay attention to people who are giving "good reviews" solely based on the only human worth mentioning, Brie.If you continue to read those reviews, it is not a review of how they feel living here. It is that she just helps to get through it. So be sure you don't glance and really read the reviews.Brie is top-notch. Amazing.She's the only reason I leased with prior management and the only reason I renewed. The best decision they made was keeping her on board. However, It does not make up for the rest of management and staff.This place was OK before I renewed my lease. The next week we were all advised the complex was sold to a new management company.The current management company, as you can see from other reviews, chose greed over tenants.For the next 6 months after my renewal, I have gone through what you see in the other reviews.They decided that it would be a good idea to enter 300 people's homes...while we lived in it and for some like me,worked in it....and have multiple vendors of men in and out of your home, as they destroyed it from the inside out.And NO ONE CARES about how it affected you, your family, your work, your finances or your health.I could go on in detail, but why ...you can go ahead and read the other reviews and decide if you want to rent and sign a year lease with this type of management.DO NOT expect management to help you or be kind, if you advocate for yourself or need something.I cannot wait to leave at the end of this lease.Oh and American Landmark/Drake Management, please don't bother to comment. Spare me. We all know what mine and others experience has been here.Look, this is just my review of my experience. However, all the other reviews can't be wrong.... Think twice, then think again.

My overall experience of living here at the Drake has been a little overwhelming, yes I gave four stars. These four stars are because through it all, Bri in the office has been solid through it all. If I ever have any questions, Bri has been there to answer or get someone to answer them.

Not too happy with all that has happened since the transition, but Bri is the bomb dot com! She has been there from the beginning through all these things that could have had me going crazy. From getting my mail to helping me understand the new charges, I appreciate you taking the time to look into my concerns and trying your best to make everything as best as possible! I understand that change isn’t always easy….so thank you for making it bareable!

I'm not sure why I have to spend my time cleaning out my cabinets For upgrades I did not ask for. I'm sitting here with a headache right now because of the fumes from them painting the cabinets. I have all my dishes Pots and pans sitting in my living room. Unable to put them back in my kitchen because they're not done. Who is gonna reimburse me for my time? I didn't know when I moved here that I was signing up to work for the property. Sending us threatening letters that they're going to charge us $250 if we don't clean out our cabinets or clean off our patio? I didn't ask for this, you're intruding into our homes with workers I don't know and probably haven't been vetted by The third party you hired. Mix match light colors painted cabinets. They put in the cheapest non branded faucets that they could get definitely not gonna hold up in this florida water. More than likely start pitting after a year. This is not upgrades this is what you do when you flip a house. They took off my Smart Lock and put this digital lock on that isn't a smart lock and I can't even put my Smart Lock back on it. I rented an apartment that i liked. And now they come in and change everything with no regard for the people to live here.Update, it's been over 10 days seance they forced me to allow them into my home Under a threat of being fined. So that they can do a job that they didn't have the material to finis. Still unable to use all my cabinets And the office doesn't know when they're gonna have the materials to finish it.

I hate this place so much bro. Like i have not had a moment of peace since this stopped being Wimberely at deerwood. And they’re probably going raise my rent after making every part of living in this apartment an inconvenience. Also everything that theyre doing to “improve” and “upgrade” these apartments are stupid and cheap. Like the drawers and annoying and I cant fully open my cabinets in my kitchen. They painted over water damage and mildew. The paint jobs are shoddy and one of the men who came into my apartment used my bathroom, pissed on the toilet and floor, and then left the freaking toilet seat up. I dont live with a man for a reason and that is the 2nd most annoying part of this whole renovation ideal. The #1 annoying this is the fact that I work nights and I get to be woken up at 7am by the sound of construction when I finally get home around 4am. I dont need or deserve sleep. 3rd most annoying this is that stupid thing they installed in the dog park that is not only structurally ugly bc of how unleveled it is but its also fundamentally hard for any dog to use. If youre gonna raise my rent I would hope that it would be for something thats of good quality and not worse quality than what I previously had. You cant paint it white but doesnt make it right mr drake.

If you don’t mind having to invite strangers into your home right after the FBI locked down the complex, it’s fine. If you don’t mind millions of dollars worth of “landlord specials”, it’s an ok place to live. If you don’t mind being unable to reach a property manager to discuss any of these issues, it’s bearable.This is what a “completed renovation” looks like! With the power of poor planning, zero oversight, and maximum disrespect to tenants’ space, I now get to enjoy:- Painted-over water damage and coffee grounds!- A dishwasher that can’t open anymore because the new cabinet handles stick out too far!- One less dishcloth because the renovators ruined mine when they didn’t bring their own cloths to clean up paint thinner!Like many apartments, money is their top priority, not you. Do with that what you will

Was excited to move here, but after I did someone bought the complex and decided to do a bunch of renovations. It's been nothing but noise, trash, inconveniences, new charges/increases on my monthly bill, and nonstop people coming in and out of my apartment since day 1. The renovations are FAR FROM OVER and it’s already been 3 months of them. It’s banging, yelling, beeping, and honking from 8am to 630pm daily. Renovations are also happening on the weekends so there is NEVER ANY PEACE HERE. The gate is never closed (even before construction), they hound you with emails/texts/paper notices/threats of additional charges (daily paper notices on your door and daily texts/emails), and the surrounding area of the dumpster is always DISGUSTING and overflowing. Maybe one day it will be 'premier.' For the price I would recommend you go elsewhere. Especially after these renovations (aka manager specials where they’re just painting over the old things) they’re going to hike up the rent even more for everyone when renewals come around. This place IS NOT WORTH $1600 a month and I’m reminded of that every time I step out my front door.

This is absolutely crazy. This is what I come home to and it will be like this ALL WEEKEND. The air is overtaken with primer. I cannot use my bathroom that I PAY FOR! The kitchen is taped off at you can see. The toilet is covered as well as the sink. The AIR SMELLS LIKE PRIMER! I have never experienced such recklessness. carelessness, and disregard with tenants way of life. The a group of construction workers live under my apartment and smoke weed on the balcony, play loud music after 10 pm, and YELL at all times of the night. I CANNOT stand living here. If I could give 0 stars I would. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Some of my best experiences with this property was with the other management team, when the apartments were called Wimberly at Deerwood, and with leasing agent Bri.

The Drake is currently being renovated top to bottom and they are making it everyone's problem. Come looking for a new apartment in a few months, right now they don't have the courtesy to plan this @#$% out in anyway that is suitable for working families to live here.

Not exactly sure what is up with the contractors that were hired but they are extremely loud and obnoxious. People are working from home and they are just being loud by tenants doors as though we don't exist. Not only that, IDK if they are using empty apartments to sleep in or what because they are definitely not working. Its sad because the old staff and management company was much more effective and great. It sucks to see the changes upsetting people more than exciting them

Friends!!!! I hasten to share the joy of living in our community!!! Finally, they came to me to do the long-awaited renovation (after all, I asked many times not to do it, warned about allergies and attacks from the smell of paint). And oh yes, they heard me and came, started making it and painted it with paint with a pungent smell!!!! Everything for my comfortable stay! Top quality!
