The Gallery at Mills Park Apartments

Very nice area but there are better living option than mills gallery. Here are the pros and cons.
Pro — Great location and at first take everything looks amazing.
Cons — Once the novelty wears off this place will leave you wishing you got more for the money.
As mentioned in other reviews the dirt lot across from the parking garage will leave your car filthy at all times. That’s also when you can get in the garage if your sensor hasn’t burnt out, or if the gate wasn’t left open and all the spots are full.
Overall building quality is sub par, however a pro is the maintenance team is excellent which is good cause you’ll need them. Handles regularly come off the cabinets as they were cheap and rushed together. If you live on the ground floor you’re in for a real treat when it rains because the bottom of the stairwell floods. This leaves the stairs smelling like mold until they bleach them, then they smell like bleach. Another lovely feature is the in home sound system, until you realize that whatever your upstairs neighbor plays reverberates through your AC ducts. So when they come back from the club at 3am and want to keep the party going you get to keep it going with them.
Finally resolved my lease from March after they hit me for another $ 800 beyond my 12 on time payments on a technicality. Such nice people.
Great area but better options. Avoid the headache and rent a house on Corrine drive or go to Baldwin park, you’ll be happier.

Live here at your own risk.
Office managers at this building (specifically the assistant manager, Michelle) are rude, condescending and censor all the issues that happen, including on their «community» board that is intended for intercommunity communication. They lie and do not work on behalf of their tenants, really they are not there for you, they are there simply as leasing agents.
As an example, over the summer, there was a woman doing commercial infant swimming lessons (will post the video on you tube) where at least twice a week for 3 hours a day she would hold diaper clad babies heads under water and they would scream INCESSANTLY for the duration of their «swim lessons.» Babies in diapers swim in the pool, literally come and live in a place where you will get an eye infection for swimming in the pool that you pay for or worse, 3 hours a day of echoing screaming infants in the courtyard! Do they care that people smoke cigarettes in the party room and fill everyone’s balconies with second hand smoke? Do they care that they refuse to ensure their tenants have access to their mail? Is the office even open at reasonable times? Do they handle issues appropriately? Do they care about their residents? NOPE.

Do not move here. The walls and floor are super thin. The neighbors will complain about you walking in your apartment, opening drawers. Also the apartment in general is very poorly constructed. They obviously rushed through everything and mirrors/​switches even our sink in the kitchen were installed crookedly. Stay away!

So. Very. Meh.
Swing and a Miss.
Charging high prices, delivering a lack luster community.
Just left at the end of October and I am still dealing with frustrations. Le. Sigh.
Let’s start with the good, shall we?
Pros:
— Esthetically gorgeous.
— Extremely nice maintenance staff.
— Very clean and modern fitness center with huge windows and a private room with options to do on screen workouts ranging from cycling to yoga.
— Nice pool areas — but they are in the middle of the buildings which doesn’t leave much sun exposure.
— Luckily I lived on the 5^th floor so I didn’t have much of a noise problem since no one lived above me, however, the rooftop bar got a little loud on the weekends and if there was trivia at Brass Tap, you got that right in your living room.
— Bluetooth speakers.
— I went with the extended one bedroom on the top floor so I had plenty or space and liked the high ceilings.
Cons:
— PETS
«Dog friendly» YAY! But there are hardly any grassy areas. I get it, it’s situated on the Orlando Urban Trail but that doesn’t mean that makes for a good area for various dogs to get their business done at. So much potential to actually be a true, good, dog friendly community here but so much is lacking. When I was moving in the small «park» across the way was sold to me as «a great spot to take your dogs for a walk.» Well when that finally got developed, it was so unimpressive.
Also, you have to have each of your pets do a Doggie DNA test for «PooPrints™ DNA Pet Waste Management services promotes responsible pet ownership. When pet owners clean up after their own dogs, communities become cleaner and greener!»
Each pet? $ 250
Yep, I paid $ 500 total for my two small dogs.
I was never fined because I always picked up their waste. However, SO. MUCH. PET. WASTE. around. So, either they didn’t test any matter left behind and just let it go (even tho we got multiple notices about picking up after your pets on the gallery portal) or someone was paying hello $ 25 fines each time they chose not to pick up their pet waste. I wouldn’t have minded paying this deposit if it actually benefited the community. But, alas, just another *try* at being a top notch property. Also, this charge covers NOTHING else. No carpet replacement, nothing. Just getting swabbed and you seeing nothing else after that. Nothing. Just a written check and having to see dog waste everywhere without any consequences.
— I had a dog walker/​sitter sometimes. I requested an additional FOB for them and even offered to do a background check on them. They would not give me one for them and said they would have to sign a lease to get a FOB. Funny because there is (and has been for 9 months) a broken door next to the trash room that doesn’t have a knob. So, just open that door and you are in. So much for security.
— The parking garage. So cramped and the ONLY freight elevator and trash compactors are right at the entrance so there is always some kinda of traffic jam happening.
— One freight elevator for 300 apartments
— Also, with the dirt lot across the way, ALL cars in the garage get caked with dirt no matter what level you park on. And, weekly pressure washing the garage was also an issue if you parked on the lower floors and the water/​dirt landed on your car as the washing was done. So, dirty car anyway you look at it.
— The «loading dock» was right next to the only entrance/​exit into the parking garage. It was not large at all so if someone was moving in, trash was being collected, etc, there was a block on the exit side.
— There is one street leading to the garage that is also the only street to access the businesses across the way. What does that mean? So many traffic issues due to deliveries during the day or people stopping/​parking where they should not.
— The 1 bedrooms don’t have an option to have a tub, stand up shower only. So weird.
— The stairwells were always dirty. I had to send emails to let the staff know some of the residents would just stack trash up (for what I assumed was a game or test to see how large the pile could get or how long the trash would stay there).
So, Godspeed on your decision if you are thinking of living here.

Absolutely beautiful apartments in an amazing location! You can’t beat being right on the edge of downtown Orlando, next to Loch Haven Park, and directly next to an upscale grocery store. Very nice units with a great leasing staff and a VERY attentive maintenance staff. They keep the property clean and the pools and fitness center are very nice. Attached to the Orlando Urban Trail so great for walks in the park or biking. Great place to live!

Have been here for 4 months now and want to give a fair and accurate review of this apartment
Pros.
Garage parking and entry on your floor
Nice fitness center
Nice pool areas
Cons
Very noisy. You can really hear people in hallways and above you very well. Was told to call the courtesy officer about noise but didn’t receive a response after two calls.
A lot of large dogs that people don’t clean up behind. Hallways don’t appear clean or smell fresh.
It is an ok place to live. Would not recommend if you need to rest during the week. There is a ten o’clock noise curfew but it is not enforced. Makes for some long nights sometimes.

Great apartments, the place is fairly new so not really crowded yet making access to amenities great. The amenities being great is also a plus lol. The apartments are in a great location near great eats and close to florida hospital which I think most people who live here work at. Overall great place with 24 hour gym!
