Station 42, tampa-fl

I lived here for the past two years and it’s okay if you enjoy living with mold! The maintenance team means well but is limited by the leasing office so despite work orders being put in about my windowsills/surrounding walls being in horrible shape and the humidity of the apartment being beyond normal, the most I was offered by the leasing office was to go buy myself a dehumidifier bag. Upon move out, many items had to be tossed out thanks to mold that was found in various places around the room (not isolated cases) and as well as concentrated near the closet and window. The air itself smells musty in the entire apartment and the maintenance team told us that they wished they were allowed to flush the vents with bleach since that’s what would really need to be done to fix it. Don’t trust the 5 stars you see as Station 42 posts on their instagram occasionally for the tenants to spam their google with 5 stars with incentives to do so (check back to 11 months ago on their reviews and you’ll see it…) The pool was supposed to be updated in one month and instead it took two during the start of the summer. That meant no pool, grill, or hot tub going into the summer season?? The mail takes wayyyy too long to get out into the box. Yes, they have to hand deliver it but it should not take multiple weeks to get things delivered to you. If you have important bills, notices, or documents mailed to you don’t count on getting it on time. The inspections are CONSTANT. It’s off campus student housing so I understand wanting to check for conditions but they really should schedule every inspection to happen all within the same time period. It’s annoying to constantly have strangers in and out of your space, especially if you have animals. This includes checks for the carpet, the flooring and tub, the sprinkler systems, etc. which gets annoying. The leasing hours got cut midway through the year and there is no luxer unit or system in place to get packages delivered when the office is not open. Amazon does not deliver after hours because they cannot get through the gates so you have to hope they cannot deliver during very specific hours and never Sunday (on top of being able to pick it up when they’re open and you’re not in class). Don’t let the newer renovations fool you, there are many problems with this apartment and you should spare yourself the trouble.

I had a great experience living at station42. Maintenance requests get replied to within 24 hours and the rooms as well as the common areas are very spacious. Love the in unit, washer and dryer and the balcony. Of course, things like the carpet, flooring, or paint jobs are a little tacky. It’s student housing so what do you really expect. Nothing that is too offputting for me honestly.

What a beautiful place to live. The staff is amazing and so welcoming. I took a tour with Kelly and she was wonderful. The apartments are so spacious. Love the pool and amenities. Can’t wait to live here soon.

I am an out of state student and was nervous about finding housing off campus since I don’t know the area really well. I took a tour with Kelly and she was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. Station 42 has super nice apartments with huge bedrooms which I love. The kitchen and shared living spaces are spacious and clean. Definitely recommend taking a tour if you are unsure about what it looks like. The whole staff is so kind!

I have lived here for 4 years now (it was Monticello back then) and I just renewed for another year. That shows how much I love this place! Although I really never had problems with the old management, the new management is more organized and professional as to the way they handle things. Among all student housing within walking distance from campus, it has the cheapest rent while having the largest bedrooms. Office staff are very friendly and helpful. Same with the maintenance staff, I've never had any problems with maintenance work, they were always attended to within 24 hours of the request.
