College Park at Midtown, gainesville-fl

I lived there for four years and had a really good experience overall. The prices are great, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and the location is excellent. They were also great about returning my security deposit. My only complaint is the $95/month parking fee, which is pretty annoying. Other than that, everything was great!

In my experience, College Park at Midtown had a great location, but several issues made my stay frustrating. When I toured my unit, there was existing damage that I did not notice at the time. Later, I learned the property had documented the damage before I toured and before I moved in. When I asked why it had not been disclosed, I was told the office was not required to inform me. Because I accepted the unit through a sublease “as is,” I was ultimately responsible for about $500 in repairs. I also experienced ongoing roommate-related cleanliness issues in shared spaces. In addition, there were recurring ant problems. While maintenance did respond to requests, some responses took long enough that I ended up addressing certain issues myself before maintenance arrived. The location is convenient and close to campus, but I would recommend thoroughly documenting the condition of your unit before move-in and carefully reviewing any sublease agreement extremely thoroughly.

The proximity to campus and downtown already makes this a prime spot for living in Gainesville, but it is the approachable and dependable staff that truly make me want to write this review. The options in floor plans were insane, making the knowledge and patience of the office staff that much more meaningful; shoutout to Dan and Patricia! And the maintenance staff are timely and respectful. After we made a maintenance request, Cliff came by and fixed our toilet while still being thoughtful of our space.

I lived in the light green town homes for 2 years and thought it was a great location with little to no issues. It's not the most modern, but the rent is cheap so that never bothered me. Maintenance was helpful, typically coming the next day after submitting a request. Some reviews are claiming to have roaches, and while an infestation is one thing, living on the ground floor in a swamp in the summer is bound to have one show up every once in a while. In July-September, I maybe saw one a couple times a month, usually dead. I will say that I can't speak highly enough of the location---being so close to midtown with all the bars and restaurants, Pascals, LibWest/UF campus, and Ben Hill Griffin made the neighborhood so convenient and homey. This location is closer to most UF classes than many dorms like Springs or Keys. Also, even though I was only 3 blocks away from the bars, it was never noisy or disruptive.

Live, laugh, love College Park. I love living here. The office staff is amazing, so helpful, and very kind! Works orders are completed so fast. The office does cool resident events like breakfast before school, coffee bar, and free snack packs for finals week. And on top of all of that, the location is amazing. Go College Park!
