I have lived here for 4 years and for 3 1/2 of those years I have walked my cat through the complex 2 to 3 times a day. She was trained to walk with me, wore a harness with a tracker, with a 6 foot leash that she dragged behind her. If any of you own a cat, you know they do not like to be confined, so she walks behind me as opposed to me walking her. For 3 1/2 years, I have received nothing but admiration for the fact that the cat follows me. Now with new management, I am required to hold the... leash in my hand and expect that the cat is going to walk like a dog would. There is no ordinance in Seminole county, or the city of Sanford that requires a cat to be leashed. They claim that if the cat were to get spooked, it would run into the street and could be hit by a car. However, in the 3 1/2 years, the cat has only ducked under a bush if startled. If the cat were on a leash in my hand and became startled, she would pull herself out of the harness and run. In doing, so, there would be no tracker connected to her, placing her more at risk. I have explained this, as well as her history of walking the complex for the last 3 1/2 years. Despite this, they still require the leash to be in hand. Because of this, I have decided to find another place to live. I cannot expect my cat who has gone on 2 to 3 walks a day for 3 1/2 years to suddenly be confined indoors. I am not a crazy cat lady, I also have a dog that walks on a leash with us, and I am very responsible in picking up after my dog. I have also been an excellent tenant, who maintains the inside and outside of my apartment, as well as picking up trash, alcohol bottles, and cigarette boxes on my walks, after having asked the complex to do routinely. As much as I love the layout of my apartment, the location, and my neighbors, it’s time to move on. Read More

Just moved in… Unfortunately!!!!!! All breakers pop constantly. Half electrical outlets don’t work and when you turn the breaker that popped back on. Wait for the lightening across the ceiling. Place is slapped together like a 3yr olds Lego house. Stay clear!!!! I mean it!!!!!!!!!

Living here is been a wonderful experience. Office staff is more than great. Michelle the manager and frances the assistant manager and leasing agents help me and my family find the perfect home for us. I can be more happy. Thanks guys .

Great location, Quiet, Prompt Maintenance staff, Friendly office staff, Well maintained amenities and grounds, and Spacious storage in units.

My wife and I had the pleasant experience of living a year in Ballantrae, where the service managers always treated us in a timely and friendly manner. Ballantrae staff especially France and Kathy were exceptionally attentive and were always willing to help us. The maintenance service of our facilities was excellent and timely at all times.

A very good place to live
