The Griffin, gainesville-fl

The facilities themselves are excellent. A new gym with all the equipment you need to do full workouts, and it’s usually empty. Multiple study areas and free BW printing. The complex itself is great, furniture and full kitchen with tons of room for up to 5 people to use it. I have a few complaints: Ethernet has issues where it’ll drop the uploading packets (bad for calls & gaming), smoke detector is very sensitive, and the water pressure is a bit low in the shower (used to be higher). Otherwise, much better than on campus. Why is parking $300/month?

The Griffin is spacious, clean, and modernized. However, parking is a super expensive fee per month to just get a tight spot. There is also no unloading zone for move-in, move-out, or general transfers. One time, furniture was even in the parking area, which had sat there for over a month before being moved. Additionally, their service provider of choice fails to connect residents with reliable service. The WIFI and Internet have been flaky since day one at the apartment, WhiteSky has not made any of their promises to fix it. On the other hand, upon submitting a maintencance requests for door hinge fixes and bathroom drain uncloggings, The Griffin takes care of the issue within twelve hours without question.

Horrible property management asset living should be ashamed of themselves renting units that flood and not willing to make repairs to provide safe living conditions- Dixie, the property manager does not bother responding to issues and to make matters worse floods with visible water coming from the flooring is literally ignored and not repaired properly.

The Griffin advertises that it offers internet service with its lease. However through the company that they use (White Sky), the internet does not work from my daughter's room and the internet is very frequently intermittent with frequent outages. My daughter has to go to the campus late at night in order to access the internet for school work compromising her safety. My daughter has contacted the office multiple times and is always redirected to talk to White Sky. She has documented evidence since October of 2025 with no progress in resolving the issues that she is paying for with her lease. The Griffin is taking advantage of students. The Griffin should not be advertising a service that they can not reliably provide. We are highly disappointed that all parties have not been able to resolve this issue.

My roommate and I have had a great time living here. It is super close to campus and the covered scooter parking with security cameras is much appreciated. The management and front desk staff have been incredible recently under Hady and every issue I’ve had has been resolved quickly and with the utmost attention and support.
