I gave two stars because I'm not a hater but even then I'm not sure that's accurate. Two stars is supposed to mean "Fair" but the management here is anything but fair. I'll admit that initially I was excited to find such a nice looking place. I put down a deposit on an upcoming rental that was supposed to be available in two days. Unfortunately two days turned into almost three weeks. The management had a convenient way of not answering the phone and were always busy or not in the office. This was a huge red-flag for me so I asked for the deposit back. Sergio, the over-weight, creepy guy in the back that had a rather rude way of eye-balling my wife claimed nothing short of a law-suit was going to make that happen. Uhhh, that makes it kinda hard for a soldier relocating that simply wants a place for his family to live. We went above him and after a firm chastising by his superior we were able to finally move in to our place. The apartments look real nice on the inside but are infested with cockroaches. The first night I woke with a huge one crawling across my back. I'm not afraid of bugs, although I find these ones disgusting, and am thankful it wasn't my wife. They told me it had been sprayed while signing paperwork but I'm not sure I believe that. I took to spraying everything other day and it was almost amazing how many cockroaches I'd find dead on the daily. After about two months I would find them outside the front door dead but rarely inside. We had several maintenance calls and it took a couple months to get simple things like vents that weren't painted shut. Some things like a drawer that fell apart was never repaired so we just stopped using it. We were upset when our air conditioning was switched over to heat while the temperatures were still hovering around the mid-90's. Lynn, a really nice woman, told me we'd have to pay $50 to turn the air back on while admitting it was their fault for switching everything over too early. I received a warning/veiled threat to fine me for trash found outside my apartment area that didn't belong to me nor did I even know about. I received another warning/threat to fine me for a trailer on the property that was authorized by upper management but bothered Sergio. Have you ever had that awful manager or something at work and wonder how this guy got hired in the first place much less made his way a few rungs up the ladder? I imagine that's how Lynn must feel every single day. In summing things up, Patriot Palms looks like a super nice place up front, but is closer to the crazy ex-girlfriend you found attractive but couldn't escape. Oh, and P.S. I received 1/4 of my deposit back three months later after being assured by Lynn that everything looked great. I think somebody a step above got his grubby fingers into something not belonging to him.

Don't bother with this place poor manager and poor quality work done by maintance. Really shoulddrug test these workers! Not to be mean but true all military may sound good such a hastle not worth it.

Dumb a** f***** people! I'm in the military trying to find a place s***** b**** keeps b***s***** us about seeing a place. Reported her to corporate! Don't even bother with this place if your military waste of time!
