I lived at Sun Bay Apartments for over a year, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The location is super convenient—I could walk to the grocery store and bike to campus in no time. My apartment itself was cozy, and for the price, you really get a lot of space. It felt like a real home, not just another rental. Yes, the complex is older but if you’re looking for a comfortable and affordable place in Gainesville, Sun Bay is definitely worth checking out!

Go live somewhere nicer and get a roommate
Here, for free, you get to hear and smell other people’s nonsense 24/7 because it’s so poorly insulated. You might as well get roommates and live somewhere nicer if you like dealing with that. You’ll at least have people who are helping you pay rent while dealing with the noises and smells all day.

Close to Campus for an affordable price
The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. They respond very quickly to service calls, most of the time its same day. They do fun events to make it feel like a family atmosphere. The best part is that it is walking distance to UF campus! It has been fun living here for the past 2 years.

Affordable and spacious
I absolutely love living here! Great vibes, it's cozy, and the location is perfect. The staff is incredibly attentive, always taking care of maintenance promptly. Even though the buildings are a bit older, they are well kept, as recent renovations on the roof and flooring have made it even better. I also love the community events they host often, definitely recommend it.
