The Station Alafaya, orlando-fl

You are going to be paying for shit WiFi that is unstable, also unstable power, incompetent staff, and a slow service. Not to mention the sudden changes that they never warn you about that can take a long time. They send inaccurate emails to the whole complex but act like they know nothing about it. The gunshots that they don't tell you about that go off for a week twice a year nearly got me shot by one. My favorite was when we had a roommate who was screaming every night and during the day, saying repulsive sexual stuff so loud that my roommate could hear it through the walls. We had evidence, showed them, and they did nothing at all. They won't tell you any of this. If you think it's worth spending thousands on sending your child here due to schooling, or if you want to live here, spend your thousands elsewhere. This place looks pretty on the outside but its all just looks. I lived here for three years. The last two were a miserable experience. Never expect good or decent customer service here. The maintenance team is the only good part of this place.

Would give 0 if I could. I originally signed to a 4x4 and completed my lease. I was forced out of that lease and had to take up a 5x5 as The Station could not roommate match me. Rooms were not cleaned upon move in. Refrigerator was full upon move in with moldy food. Cat bowls/food found all over unit and none of the current renters are pet owners. WiFi goes out constantly and currently has been out for a week. During the latest outrage I was told to go to Starbucks to complete homework. AC goes out often too, and Orlando is regularly 90°+. My unit fire alarm got set off and would beep constantly for at least a week and a half after the property screwed up a scheduled maintenance, and proceeded to threaten me with a charge because I “tampered” with it. This accusation was only dropped when the fire department got involved per my request. Again I must stress this was not fixed for a week and a half and we had to deal with constant beeping throughout that entire time. I filed 3 emergency complaints with the fire service provider, as well as a few maintenance requests with The Station, they did not take this seriously. The rooms are nice, but are given the landlord special and the modern appeal drops after a month of living here once you realize how many fundamental flaws the station has. AC filters were not changed a single time I lived here to my knowledge. Pool/golf sim is constantly out of service. Trash compactor is often full to the point of over spilling into the street. NONE OF THIS REVIEW IS HYPERBOLE OR DEFAMATION: I have the receipts. Bottom line, don’t let this review stop you from renting here, if you’re comfortable paying 1000+ for a single bedroom in a 5x5 in which you rarely have the amenities advertised, rent away. My two cents: College Station would be a better rent. Period dot.

Do not sign a lease here. This place looks nice from the outside, but living here has been a nightmare. It started with being matched with the wrong roommates, which set the tone from day one. When we moved in, the apartment was filthy and clearly not prepared for new tenants. The amenities are constantly unavailable. The pool was drained for most of last year, and even when it’s open, it’s always closed on holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day, which makes no sense because those are the exact days residents actually want to use it. The WiFi is constantly going out, which is ridiculous when it’s advertised as part of what you’re paying for. Maintenance is painfully slow and careless. We had a leak in our ceiling, and their solution was to poke holes in it and leave it that way for weeks. Problems rarely get fixed in a timely manner. Management and staff are by far the worst part of living here. They are rude, dismissive, and impossible to get in touch with. They don’t answer calls, emails, or texts, and when you go into the clubhouse with concerns, they act annoyed and roll their eyes. It honestly feels like they do nothing useful all day. For the amount of rent they charge, you get very little value because the amenities are either broken, closed, or poorly maintained. At one point we lost power, and my roommate had to call Duke Energy before management even bothered to do anything. Save yourself the stress and look somewhere else.

Tony was a fantastic guy and huge help, battery died and even at 8am, he did not hesitate to help push and jumpstart it, to then further assisting with the issue. Great staff and place! God bless thank yall!

okay so the station hasn't had wifi in over a week and for students that would be a PROBLEM and instead of the staff being helpful every single one of them have been absolutely nasty to anyone who calls to find a resolution. The free rent can't be that good for them to be so dismissive towards the students whose parents PAY their bills.. and the lack of urgency and professionalism is alarming especially since they are due to graduate and have no wifi to do so!!!!!
