Forum at Tallahassee, tallahassee-fl

Let's start off with all the good things: 1) It's better than living on the streets 2) oh it's just 1 Alright, now on to why I'm giving the forum 1 star: 1) They only accept around half of the maintance requests you put in 2) The gate to get in is left open half the time so anyone can enter 3) Out of the maintance requests you do put in that they do, they take a while to get to. The dryer in my apartment was broken for 6 weeks before they did anything, and because it was broken it also jacked up our electric bill that each person has to pay for by around triple the amount 4) Going back to the gate being open, my car got broken into. Not only did the forum not help me, but they also didn't seem surprised and said it's happened multiple times 5) Made up fake charges at the end of my lease, then made it completely impossible to contact them to dispute those charges, and if I don't pay these false accusations my credit score gets ruined.

Do not be fooled by the numerous positive reviews posted recently, they are clearly falsified through some sort of incentive by Forum or are the employees themselves as they don’t give any information about the actual living experience. Parents, future tenants, and anyone looking to live here please be mindful of how irresponsible management handles the property. Two weeks ago on a Saturday, there was at least 100 people here who were at the pool. The gate was left open and the whole parking lot was filled with people drinking in broad daylight, trash everywhere, and the pool filled with people who clearly didn’t live here. The cops had to come and after calling Forum, they basically stated that they can ‘tell’ them to leave, but if they continue to stay it’s up to the tenant—myself who PAYS for the pool that these people come and use—to call law enforcement for trespassing. It is absolutely unacceptable how they handle these situations, and this happens numerous times EVERY month. The parking lot was in a traffic jam as shown for an hour. And the worst part is that there were Forum front office workers who were down there like Christen, ex-worker Wev and another member who also works up front. They do not care about the safety or security of the tenants as shown as they were outside in swim attire.

This place sucks, not one good positive experience here, they make the place seem so nice from the clubhouse area but the actual apartments are disgusting and horrible. They try to charge you at every step ESPECIALLY when moving out, they move out prices are ridiculous over hundreds of dollars for minor things like not properly cleaned. And when we moved in August it was dirty as hell so they didn’t even clean it before. Wouldn’t recommend, most 5 star reviews are probably fake, it’s cheaper than most stuff in the area for a reason ur paying for what u get, but not worth it.

Lived here from '25 to '26. Out of the 3 places I've ever lived in Tallahassee, this one had the best leasing office team. They were all very friendly and willing to help. They all received me with a smile on their face and would take the time to chat every time I would go pick up a package. The Forum is a great place to live because of its location and amenities. It's got what you need for a solid price point. It was a very pleasant experience and happy to have finished my last year at FSU here.

Moving here might be a headache, but once you’re settled in it’s not bad. But you have to get on their ass about getting things fixed if anything is out of order. So as implied stuff might not be working properly and you can definitely see the age of the apartment. Communicating with the property manager or anyone can also be a pain because of their availability. I swear I always hear or see something about the general property manager being sick. If I had to give my advice to anyone about apartments in the area I’d 1. Say move into a different apartment 2. It’s a decent living space at best. 3. Find a newer apartment/one that even costs a couple hundred dollars more if it’s in your budget.
