I lived in palm gardens for a year and it turned out to be a nightmare. They suckered me in by telling me that the place was new and that they are upgrading and adding this and that. None of those things never happened. There is absolutely no land for them to build anything else. The only thing I've seen them upgrade was the camera at the gate. My wife's car was stolen from there along withseveral other tenants cars. The security gate is always broken due to people tailgating you in. I garantee you that's why they added the cameras. After so many complaints of car theft and burglary. Apartment complexes don't spend money for the heck of it. I'm still trying to get my deposit back. I was told several times by the manager that it will be there on a certain day and to come pick it up but its never there and they just say come back on this day. It just keep getting pushed back. She told me that it's up to the Corporate Office to send out deposits but then I asked for the corporate office number to call about my deposit they won't give it to me. I just get "sir just come back on this day and we'll have it for you." I HAVEN'T GOT IT YET. The kids run around all day between your cars and apartments cause they have no where to play. The one pool they have is always over crowded with kids. The so called fitness center has 6 pieces of equipment and three of them are always broke, the other three you'll never get to use because those are always occupied. Trying to get to 41st street during the school year is hell. It takes about 30-40 min to get to 41st street during the school year because traffic is all jammed up with people letting there kids out for school. Don't forget the mosquitos, oh my god they are horrible. There are sworms of them everywhere. The maintanence crew comes in your place when your not home. The cabinets dont have bottoms. Dog poop in front of your door is a major problem so watch your step. They have a problem with ants in the apartments and for some reason they just can't get rid of them. Although, I must say the area is nice, the apartments look nice and the landscaping is nice but don't let that fool you they need to improve on a whole lot of things for those prices. There are a lot of other places in the area that offers a lot more for the same price and they are in better locations like the Enclave, The Summit, Archstone, The Palms of Doral and so on.
