The Locale FSU, tallahassee-fl

I had a terrible experience living at Locale Tallahassee. I thought that, for the price, the living standards would be good, but I was wrong. One of the biggest issues was parking. My car was towed, then right after my parking decal was accidentally removed, and the apartment complex still forced me to pay over $200 for a simple replacement decal. The manager showed no respect or understanding toward the situation. Parking was already difficult all year and expensive, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. Beyond that, the building was not well kept. The hallways were often dirty, smelled bad, and had a big problem with roaches. The elevators would stop working for months at a time. I also had mail delivered through a friend that was lost, and management never followed up with me about it. On top of that, the noise from neighbors in the courtyard was a constant issue. The only positive part of my experience was the maintenance staff, who were incredible, and the people working at the front office, who were always nice. Other than that, the place may look nice from the outside and seem like a good option at first, but based on my experience, I would not recommend living here.

I was fortunate to have Brenda help us with finding an apartment for my son’s first year of college, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Brenda was professional, clear, and incredibly dedicated. She guided us through the entire process — from searching for the right place to signing the lease — always with a positive attitude and patiently answering every question. What I appreciated most was how she made us feel comfortable and confident, which is so important when making big decisions for a young person starting a new chapter in life. Thanks to her experience and commitment, we found a safe, comfortable, and well-located home for my son. I genuinely hope everything with the apartment goes as smoothly as the process with Brenda. If it does, we’ll know we made the right choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for guidance and peace of mind with student housing

This place is extremely poorly maintained and the building is not properly cleaned. When you walk through the hallways, the floors are so dirty and sticky that your shoes actually stick to them. There is garbage and there are cockroaches everywhere. After you move out, they will charge you for almost anything they can find an excuse for. We even had a rat inside our apartment, which is completely unacceptable and shows how poor the building’s cleaning and maintenance conditions are. Overall, I would not recommend living here. The cleanliness, pest control, and maintenance are extremely poor.

DO NOT LIVE AT THE LOCALE. When we moved in, the apartment was disgusting and filled with furniture left behind by previous tenants. Despite this, we were later charged to have that same furniture removed. They also took pictures of dirty vents and charged us cleaning fees, even though the apartment was already in terrible condition when we received it. Some of the “damage” charges were even more ridiculous. They took random pictures of pillows and ceiling fans and listed them as damages without providing a reasonable explanation, they will charge for your common areas for anything. This shiesty company will look for any excuse to charge residents additional fees, it's pathetic. look to live elsewhere.

This place is nothing more than a mirage of hidden charges. They make the students PAY to park in the place they live and Tow their guests at will. Not to mention all the other hidden ridiculous charges. Not a place for college students or parents on a budget. Parents Beware!
