Verandas Apartments

My husband and I have lived here 6 months now, and here’s my updated review:
PROS:It has a screened in porch, which is a plus in Florida with all the bugs. The pool area is really nice! I haven’t used it yet, but it’s cute with little cabanas and a wet bar. There are ceiling fans in nearly every room, which is helpful to circulate the air throughout the apartment. The kitchen has a sizable pantry for groceries. Overall, storage is pretty good with the closet off the screened-​in porch, linen closet in master bathroom, laundry room, and garage unit (will cost you extra but worth it). Maintenance just fixed our AC that went out 4 days ago, so considering 2 days were a weekend, it’s decently fast.
CONS: Parking is a huge issue, and the management doesn’t enforce the stickers/​towing thing they pretend to. This is silly, but the apartment doesn’t come with a microwave! It wouldn’t be a huge deal if the kitchens were bigger, but there is limited counter space for people who cook daily. The shelf space in the shower doesn’t hold all your products. Maybe if you just use one soap for everything, it’ll be fine. If not, prepare to get a bath caddy or shelf. Also, there isn’t a hand towel bar in the bathroom, so you have to lay your hand towel on the counter. Again, this wouldn’t be a big deal if the sink counters were bigger. Oh, you have to buy renters insurance for your new particular apartment before they’ll give you the keys to it. It’s weird, but it’s a thing with the MAA management service that oversees the complex. Also, with every complaint I’ve called about, the management told me to call the police, so they’re not really comfortable talking to their residents to resolve problems.
Hope this helps!
