Park Place Tampa, tampa-fl

The property is safe, clean, and well maintained. I have never had an issue finding parking in the garage. The amenities are super nice, I especially love the gym and the rooftop pool. The leasing office staff and property manager Julie Kenney are very kind and supportive, and they have answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. The maintenance team does an excellent job as well. My freezer stopped making ice and maintenance responded immediately replacing it the next day! I highly recommend this complex to anyone looking for high quality, safe, reliable student housing near USF!

Zach was incredibly helpful throughout this process. He was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely engaged in helping me resolve my situation. Due to an unforeseen personal matter, I was unable to renew my son's lease by the noon deadline on Sunday, which would have guaranteed his current rental rate for the following year. I called and texted the office Monday hoping for some flexibility and understanding. Management said, "No", which I found disheartening. Zach was very prompt in retuning my call and was responsible for delivering the news. Not thrilled with the decision but, Zach crushed it!!

I would like to recognize Julie Kenney for her outstanding customer service. From the first interaction, she was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Julie consistently went above and beyond to ensure questions were answered, concerns were addressed, and communication was clear and timely. What sets Julie apart is her compassion and empathy. She treated every interaction with kindness and respect, making a challenging situation much easier to navigate. Her dedication to helping others and her commitment to excellent service are truly exceptional. Julie is a tremendous asset to her organization, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and support she provided. I highly recommend working with her.

I’m a student at USF, I leased a 3x3 and paired 1,290 including the $70 a min to for parking. I’ll start with the very short list of good things about this complex, receiving packages is easy and secure, the gym is well equipped and has a separate stretching room. Now onto the things that make me advise anyone NOT to live here… 1. Visitor parking or lack there of. For several hundred apartments there are maybe 50 total visitor spots. If you plan to have people over that are not residence they will have to park elsewhere and walk over. 2. Thumb print access may seem secure and convenient until you plan to have friends over to study/ hangout. You must go with them everywhere and always go all the way to the front of the building to let anyone in 3. WiFi often goes out, lags, or doesn’t connect at all. Can be very frustrating when taking at home exams or doing regular homework 4. In Unit Dryer this machine is SO LOUD if you get the room next to the washer and dryer you can’t even stand to be home while it’s running, you can’t here it through the entire apartment and it doesn’t even dry your close without running it for 2 hours 5. Furniture very uncomfortable, we spent almost no time in he living areas because it’s live sitting on ply wood 6. Mattress, now this could be lumped in with 5 but deserves its own comment because it was 4 inches thick and looked like it was rented from a local prison. You will need a mattress topper or two to make your sleep decent 7. Pool area although this area appears nice and luxurious, there is very limited seating, I think I counted 20 lawn chairs total for the entire complex. People often had to lay on the ground or leave because of how crowded his gets 8. Courtyard views, if you’re moving in and like to see nature sunlight like ever, make sure you request street view, we got stuck with a courtyard view and it was always dark, no natural light and we looked out into the building opposite us 9. Noise complaints, this is typically something I brush off but expediting exam seasons this place gets LOUD. People finishing early start partying and yes they have an evening officer but every complaint I put in went unanswered and I have had to confront other tenets myself just to get to sleep at 2am before an exam. 10. Towing this towing company is ruthless, and $278 per tow. Don’t park in an electric vehicle spot even for 30 minutes, they will snag your cars. I have several friends who have been towed even for not renewing the visitor parking every 24 hours and missing it by less than an hour. 11. Unit locks, each unit has an electronic lock. They SUCK so bad sometimes not working at all. We had several issues with ours and each time the maintenance people told us we were opening them wrong…. The app sucks and is unreliable. If you’re caught with a dead phone after leasing office hours you will have to pay a $75 dollar fee to have someone come open it. 12. Fire alarms, I’ve never heard so many fire alarms in my life. They are so sensitive, you could be cooking, open the oven with no smoke and it will go off. Additionally the building went off 4 times and everyone has to evacuate. These occurred at all hours, once in the middle of the night, and again early in the morning. 13. Dog park, the dog park. A very specific issue but it’s seriously a joke. Maybe 10 feet by 4 feet. I actually looked into advertisement laws to see if it’s even legal to put “dog park” as a part of their amenities because dog how small and sad it is. Literally in the back corner of the building. And as a young female I didn’t feel safe going out there at night because on more than one occasion there was a man without a dog waiting in there. 14. Leasing office, my final complaint. Although the girls mean well, the leasing office employees know practically nothing, often are unhelpful with no knowledge about any inquires and can be really rude to tenants with concerns.

Let me first begin with this statement: Don't sign at ParkPlace! There are a million other options that are cheaper and can provide the same services that Park Place can. I've lived at this apartment complex from the 2025 to 2026 lease year and this place was overly priced in almost every way. Parking is 75 dollars which is outrageous and paying over a thousand dollars a month for rent and other utility bills is insane. The way that simple bills (their utility bill company) charges residents doesn't make any sense, and their recommendations for trying to lower future utility bills sucked. It didn't help. Julie Kenney (one of the ParkPlace managers) was not sympathetic whatsoever. It does really feel like she can respond in such a mean way and she just doesn't understand the situation when we need her too. Also ParkPlace charged me 100 dollars in repairment for the most minor things. I left my room in the best conditions ever. No paint chipping, and I have a video that proves how good I left my apartment. I've been noticing how many ants can get infiltrated on the rooftop amenities area so it feels like no one takes care and cleans the property well enough. There's ants (red ants) in the gym, and there's ants in the hallways too. Lastly, I can smell weed and cigar residue everywhere I walk at the apartment complex. In elevators, and in hallways. I don't think they do a great job, because time after time I keep smelling those smells and it's suffocating sometimes. Absolutely gross. Lastly, the yale key. That yale key gave me such a hard time throughout the year. I was almost lucky i didn't get locked out because of how often the batteries would keep dying. Me and my roommates had to file a lot of maintenance requests just so that the battery on the yale lock wouldn't cause any issues. Overall, terrible service all-around and it's not worth overpaying for an apartment that doesn't give the best services that you'd pay for.
