I would not recommend Miramar Lakes Apartments for anyone. I have lived there for almost 4 years and it was everything but good. Rent went up almost $300 every year. The building I first originally lived in, I was told that I either had to go somewhere else or find another apartment within the complex as they were turning my building into Airbnb units, and only had a few months to decide. In which, not even a year later, they made the Airbnb units back into apartments, which was a complete slap in the face to say the least. Maintenance never fixed anything. They would never listen to my requests. I had a bad dryer that they had to ‘fix’ 5-6 times before they decided it was time for a replacement. Half my stove did not work. Anytime I turned on more than one of the burners that worked, my breaker flipped. The front door battery died less than 24 hours after being replaced, which went on for months. They always said they would talk to the landlord to get the item replaced instead of replacing the battery. News flash, they didn’t. Which comes out of the $80 technology fee that we had, which nothing but the lights, ever worked.
When it was storming hard, I reported a leak in the ceiling as it started to leak and bubble. Maintenance came out and blamed it on the upstairs neighbors and that they’d be back. They never wore. I emailed the front office and they said someone would be out, which never happened.
Let alone, I put it requests for a week to get someone out for the door, ceiling and dryer, as well as emailed again, and the requests were closed out the next day with never being fixed.
The only front person that was ever helpful and actually explained something to you, was Esmeiris. Everyone else was condescending, and you were never worth their time. Just made you feel like you were wasting your breath and made you feel as if you were stupid, Joanna in particular.
Trash was never picked up on time, or on the designated dates stated. The big trash areas were also overfilled, and trash piled on the sides.
The water in my apartment would turn into sewerage looking. In the shower, toilet, and sinks. It would be that way for the entire day. With no word as to what is going on. It was disgusting.
We had parking stickers we ‘had’ to obtain, parking lot rules we ‘had’ to follow or our car would be towed. Those rules were never enforced.
The corridors were cleaned every 3 months it seemed or every other month, leaving it filthy. Trash was everywhere else in the community and left it completely messy.
The gym was always dirty.
The “secured” gate you are promised for security and a gated community, hasn’t worked in over 2 years. And when it ‘does’ work, the fobs never worked whatsoever. Gate never opened as is.
For “modern” day “luxury” apartments, there aren’t updated appliances. Appliances from when the apartments were built, but definitely never replaced.
If you expect to hear anything back about your deposit, good luck. The office never answers calls or emails.
Good-luck.
