I am so happy to have found Fredrick gardens! so glad I renewed after my first year. It was nice when I moved in and things are constantly improving. all the staff do an excellent job on top of being friendly, Ana has changed my mind completely about property managers! super approachable, very understanding just totally firm, fair and consistent

I have been here for just over a week and I am absolutely miserable. First when I moved in they had removed the smoke alarm. That took a few days to get installed.

I have killed at least two bugs in the apartment every day I have been here.

The air conditioners are poorly placed wall units next to the door and it is almost impossible to cool the rooms.

They are pressure cleaning the walls today so they can repaint. The existing paint was carelessly sprayed everywhere including all over my... new welcome mat.

Finally this is the worst part. As I said I have only been here for one week. On Saturday night my front door locked stopped working. I called the offsite help and they informed me I needed to call a locksmith. After being locked outside for a hour they finally came, entered through my window and unlocked the door. After disassembling the lock and inspecting I was told the lock needed to be replaced. I paid the $74 to let me in but Out of courtesy for allowing Frederick Gardens to perform their own repairs I opened a maintenance request for them to replace the lock.

Even though the lock clearly malfunctioned I was told I can not be reimbursed for the locksmith because they can't reproduce the failure!!!! Apparently Frederick gardens are expert lock makers so clearly just because the one time they tried the lock after the locksmith cleaned and reassembled it means nothing was ever wrong.

I am in disbelief this is how I am being treated after a single week. Michael, the community manager, said he has the ability to refund me but he chooses not to because he can't reproduce the failure.

Do yourself a favor and move into any other complex in Gainesville. Read More

The office people are super friendly and always in a good mood.

I've lived here for a few years and I used to really like it here. Unfortunately, in the last year or so, it's gotten pretty bad. The neighbors are always fighting and screaming, loud music is constantly blasting from both apartments and cars, dogs bark constantly and crap everywhere, and it's become unsafe. There have been violent fights, gunshots, and a lot theft lately. one of my neighbors has had multiple bikes stolen in just the last month, I had my car broken into, someone smashed an... apartment window with a brick, a dumpster was set on fire, and aggressive homeless people camp out in the laundry rooms. the police are out here constantly. On top of that, rent has increased to the point where it is absurd. there is no way we should be charged the price that we pay. Read More

Usually apartments this close to campus are really expensive. But the one bedroom was a good size and the neighbors aren't bad. Plenty of space for my dog to run around.
