Park Place by the Bay

Leo is the manager at park place by the bay, he is really sneaky person. And the building has the worst service every. And the service manager had insulted my sister. And they will scam you left and right. and you will never get anything helpful from them. The building has mold everywhere plus parking it’s never organize my cars been scratched few times the elevators never work so many people their life were in danger because of it. They had a girl drowned in the pool. And they get my car towed which it was registered in the building. Made me pay for it and never refunded the money. incidents where they insulted my guests and much more!!! this building is truly a –3 stars the worst building you were ever live-​in I recommend never moving there and the worst possible management team on the planet. So for the sake of yourself and your family and the health of your family never moved a trashy place like that.
There definitely getting a hefty lawsuit coming their way

The good: The price can’t be beat and the location is ok.
The bad: You receive one parking barcode with the apartment, and may choose to buy another. However, parking is still not guaranteed. If you work late hours and get in after midnight, chances are all of the spots will be taken and you are on your own. You can pay for street parking (which they will not reimburse), yet still that is a bad idea because this is not an extremely safe area, especially at night. Park on the street and you have a pretty good chance of having your windows smashed. I wish this was something that was brought up when meeting with the leasing office. Even if you have a parking pass, or even pay for an extra, it is NOT GUARANTEED.
–The building is located close to night clubs, the metrorail, the airport, the harbor, which is great. However the walls and sliding doors to outside are paper thin and you will hear it all. I am on the 22^nd floor and spent a lot of money on sound proof curtains, however I can still hear EVERYTHING.
–On the issue of sound, there is also a park across the street where every first Friday of the month they play loud, loud music from 9 am to 5 pm. And I mean loud. If you are even watching television in your apartment you will not be able to hear it. I work weird hours and I make it an absolute priority to not be home the first Friday of the month, it is that bad. I have been looking into putting in a complaint to the city… but this is Miami so I doubt that will do anything.
–Elevators are constantly out of service so you will have to wait a long time to get on.
–No washer/​dryer in unit, and the machines in the shared laundry rooms are constantly broken and you will lose money almost every other time you do laundry.

Management is extremely rude, you want mail? Packages? Good luck! They don’t have a good relationship with the local post office!!! Elevators sometimes work, If you’re lucky! Think you have privacy!?! HA! Think again!!! Residents take photos of other residents and report them to management! My puppy had an accident on the sidewalk and someone somewhere in the building took photos of me!!! Homeless people litter the streets, walking outside the building?!? Better bring your pepper spray! Parking is an absolute nightmare, the garage is over packed and residents can barley find parking within the garage! Over town is an absolute dump!!! I have lived here for almost 4 years, and the only reason I stay is because it’s close to work and convenient for me. But unless you want to be harassed by bums, spoken down to by management or dealing with people
Over dosing in the pool and not being able
To park your car, live here!
ALSO THEY ALLOW PEOPLE WITH PITBULLS TO LIVE HERE WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN DADE COUNTY
P.s the washer and dryers don’t always work either, this place is a nightmare!!!

This place it’s OK.
This is why I am giving a 2 stars.
1) The concierge guy called George is SO rude when he should be nice and welcoming to residents and visitors.
2) There are so many pot heads and it smells like weed all around the building.
3) They go through credit and background checks with everyone who applies to live there but it doesn’t seem like they do (you go figure why).
I give 5 stars to maintenance people, security guards, leasing office (Karoll), management office (Mr.Martinez) and the view. That’s all.
All I can say is that… I can NOT wait for my lease to be over and leave. This building it’s so ghetto.
I rather pay $ 1560 somewhere else.

Lots of families here

I moved into miami last year (2012) It was very nice until just recently… I have always paid my rent on time, and the same way (money order checks) There was a drawing going on to win a free ipad if you paid rent early, so i did. I put all three money order checks in an envelope, all filled out with my name and apartment number written on the front (like i always do) and personally handed the envelope to park place manager Pam. A weeks go by, and i have a notice on my door saying that i owe them 1300 (my rent 1138 and a late fee). I go down to the office to talk to pam, since there must have been a mistake. She tells my that they only received one money order check for $ 500. I tell her there was no way, all three where in envelope. Pam says they must have slipped out because SHE REMEMBERS ME HANDING HER THE ENVELOPE, she said she would look around the office. To prove i had gave them the checks i went back to publix (where i purchased the money order) and got an copy of the receipt and all three money order check numbers. Frazzled of the situation, i called my mom, (who is also on the lease) to give pam a call to make sure that the situation was being handled. Pam assured my mom that it was completely their fault and that we would not be accountable since they lost them. Two weeks go by, i get a call from pam saying that they looked around the office couldn’t find them, and i had to pay them the $ 638 immedienly. I argued saying i had already presented the receipt and check numbers and there was no way they could make me pay for something they loss. Another week goes by the next months rent was due, so like always i bought three money orders and put them in an envelope and personally handed them to pam. She asks if this was all the money (the $ 638 they lost, and the new rent). I say no just the new months rent. She tells me she cant collect a new months rent when I STILL OWED MONEY FROM LAST MONTH! She then tells me the money has gone to collection and im in the process of being evicted! My lease is over this month, isn’t that funny. STAY AWAY THEY JUST WANT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!

Home. I have been living here for 3 years. All I can say is that it is awesome. It’s friendly and safe. It’s not perfection, but it’s a good community. They even allow pets. I rate it 5 stars because of the location and the spirit of the people here. Even the guards are great. The parking is great. I love my apt too.

I lived here for about a year and a half when I first moved to the Miami Florida area. For the money it was not to bad. I really had no issue with the place other then AC that was going out often and elevators that were often out of service. Parking was hard to find as well and sometimes not available for residents.
I understand that the AC and parking has since been fixed but elevators are still an issue. View looking south was great and freeway access was quick. Not bad for the money but just do your homework.

This is probably one of the most affordable place to have an apartment in downtown Miami (that I’m aware of — but of course, anywhere in Miami, 2 bedroom deals are a steal compared with 1 bedroom prices, so find a roommate!). Surprisingly the apartment tower is a stone throw away from the real estate activity in downtown Miami.
But this area is still Overtown. Translation: homeless people are nearly everywhere around here. But hey, with a downtown view that I had from the 17^th floor, the ability to walk to a rail station a mere 3 well-​lit blocks away, and ample amount of security and police officers around, I wouldn’t mind!
There’s also a pool, fitness center, laundry facilities on the premises. The bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. The facilities seem to be in a good condition. There’s a front desk in the lobby for visitors.
Last found a 2 bedroom apartment for $ 1080.
Also, the noise complaints may be common due to the proximity of the clubs in the downtown area. But I’m deaf, so I can’t really take off stars just because of that. I know, I know… poor hearies! Still, get some ear plugs if it really bother you, or get used to «noise» and pretend you’re in New York City (maybe it isn’t exactly the same, but eh).
