Horrible Dishonest, No!

I was told I was a victim of fraud almost immediately (less than an hour) after paying $312. to University Commons. The leasing agent said information I was given in writing was false. Fees that were "included" now are not. Also the information on theā€¦Ā See More >

        The leasing office employees are really nice and supportive. However, I had a private owner for apartment ---, he is really bad! did not help or cared about COVID 19, and he is not giving me my deposit back for unreasonable charges!

                        Find another complex. Doesn't matter if it is more expensive, etc, you're better off. Can't have a worse property manager than Kelly. She discriminates potential tenants, then when you ask to speak to a supervisor to discuss her prejudice, she says "I am the manager"ā€¦Ā See More >

                          The bus accessibility near University Commons is phenomenal. At least 5 different buses stop by regularly and take you to all the common stops on campus. Although the community is not gated, cops drove through the lot regularly. Also, gated communities in Gainesville are lacking,ā€¦Ā See More >

                              Do not rent here. Save yourself the heartache and stress. It is not worth your money and if you are a parent you definitely do not want this for your children. Firstly, the gym's equipment is very old and very limited. There are missing dumbbells.ā€¦Ā See More >
