I've been at this apartment complex for six months now, and so far so good. I have not had any issues with maintenance, or with any other apartment complex related items. My utility bills have been pretty low, the noise level in the apartment complex is not too bad, and the place is extremely pet friendly. Also, they do have a lot of really good amenities, for the price that you pay for the apartments. I especially like the fact that the apartment complex sits back off the roadway a little bit, which gives you a feeling of privacy from the bustle of Gainesville. I do have a couple of small complaints about my upstairs neighbors, but I do not feel that is the fault of the complex management. I do have a couple areas of concern that I feel that they may be able to work on fixing. First is the fact that they need to enforce parking standards along the curbs. Many people Park so disorganized, and so far away from the curb, it just makes the place look bad, and makes driving through the complex a little tricky sometimes. Another issue that I have, is the pool area. Although the pool area is very nice, the pool tends to not be very clean. Many times there is a bunch of debris in the pool, and lately there has been a fairly persistent green tint to the water. I am trying not to hold that against them too much, as the amount of rain that we have had lately has been very high, but I would like to see a little bit more constant maintenance done on the pool. Finally, when it comes to lawn maintenance at the complex, they do a pretty good job of keeping the grass under control, but I would like to see them do a little bit better job clearing out the grass that pokes through the concrete sidewalks and parking areas. One of my biggest pet peeves is grass and other weeds that poke through concrete, it always looks terrible to me. in conclusion, I think this is one of the best apartment complexes you can get for the price. You are always going to find some small issues with any apartment complex, regardless on where you go. I truly think that for the value, this is the best that you can get in Gainesville.

In a nutshell, things started off meh, but got considerably better. Overall, our experience is positive. When my wife and I first moved in, the apartment smelled terrible, (last tenants assuredly had pets), the carpet wasn't cleaned well (fur everywhere, reeked of urine in particular spots; youd expect the carpet to be replaced altogether), the walls werent repainted, and worst of all, there were a few roaches. Since then, the carpet on the first floor was stripped and replaced with vinyl flooring, and the roaches are gone thanks to the maintenance staff! Its a work and progress, but my wife and I got the rest of the pet smell out the house through a round of carpet steaming upstairs. I rated the complex a 4/5 mainly due to the mixed first impression we got when we first moved in. Everything is good now, and we recently renewed!

After living in this apartment and finding other options I have found that there are much better places to live (yes, even so close to campus) than Towne Parc. I have compiled and pros and cons list: Pros: - close to campus - great road to live off of and nice walk for a dog - has garden plots - very dog friendly Cons: - my apartment is outdated and literally falling apart in some aspects - by the time you pay for internet, cable, water, and utilities you might as well be at a better place **EDIT**- if you get the free internet promo from them it is extremely slow and only supports about one device (called COX and they can't find an account) - dog park is a dust pen **EDIT** - maintenance is extremely slow (my shower DID NOT GET CHECKED for three weeks and did not work for the first month of living there) - Thin walls that do not keep in your AC or heat. Your unit will constantly run and upstairs will not cool off. It is also really easy to hear your neighbors - management does not care about anything I recommend if you are looking for a place near campus you find another apartment. There are better places to live and this complex tries to use their community amenities to pull you in. Dont fall for it like I did. If you dont care about the listed cons and just want a place to live, then this is a place for you. Also, most of the apartments are not updated so it is likely you will get an apartment that has carpet and very outdated.

In a nutshell, things started off terrible, but got considerably better. Our overall experience is positive. When my wife and I first moved in, the apartment smelled terrible, (last tenants assuredly had pets), the carpet wasn't cleaned well (fur everywhere, reeked of urine and feces; youd expect the carpet to be replaced altogether), the walls werent repainted, and worst of all, there were roaches. Since then, the carpet on the first floor was stripped and replaced with vinyl flooring, and the roaches are gone thanks to the maintenance staff! Its a work and progress, but my wife and I met them halfway and got most of the pet smell out the house through multiple rounds of steaming the carpet in the rest of the apartment. In reality, Id give the complex a 3.5/5 mainly due to the bad first impression we got when we first moved in. Everything is [mostly] good now, and we recently renewed!

Had an argument with my roommate and the staff their took an unbiased action towards us and did everything in their power to keep the playing field fair which is all anyone could ask from an apartment complex, friendly staff and a true neighborhood feeling area. The only reason it's not a 5/5 is because there was always an angry goose that waited for anyone to walk by to chase after you.

Lived here for three years. Great staff and maintenance that all live on property. Would have without question renewed again if I had the choice. Only consistent issue we had was that the A/C units always had trouble keeping the unit cool during the day since there's virtually no insulation on the second floor.

My fianc and I were taken on a property tour with Catherine in the spring. We were interested in 1/1 apartments on the first-floor, but our leasing agent showed us a second-floor unit which had carpet flooring. During our tour, Catherine explained to us that it was not an option to have a washer/dryer in first floor apartments, so the office did their best to assign such units close to the laundry room. The second thing that Catherine told us was that all first-floor apartments had vinyl wood flooring, and that the reason that second-story apartments didnt was that it would creak. This was what we cared about most, as having a dog, etc., is much easier without carpet, and is what ultimately made us chose Towne Parc. Despite being told that carpet would not even be an option for 1/1 apartments on the first floor, we still indicated our desire for a vinyl-flooring apartment on our lease. Because we were out of town till 8/13, we had hired a moving company to bring our things for us on move-in day (8/1). When we finally arrived in Gainesville, excited to see our new apartment, we found that we were not only nowhere near the laundry room, but there was nothing but carpet inside our apartment. Whats worse is the state that the carpet is in: aside from specific stains or tears, the general surface is sticky and rough. I called the office to ask what had happened and if anything could be done (since we had not yet unpacked). Funny enough, Catherine took my call, said she didnt know who had told us that all first-floor apartments had the vinyl flooring, and that preferences were not always guaranteed. She then said that maintenance would come within the following two days to see if the rug needed to be replaced with the vinyl flooring, and if so, they would do that. This visit, of course, never happened, and if/when it does, were confident that the outcome of it will be to replace the carpet The icing on the cake is that our apartment looks like it hasnt been touched since the 1930s. None of the inside door locks work, wiring is protruding from the ceiling/walls, theres an HVAC/water heater in our bedroom closet, things like toilet paper holders and electrical switches are bizarrely installed (one literally simultaneously controls an outside door light and an inside outlet), and so on. Of course, work orders were put it for what was fixable, and maintenance has yet to show. Whats more is that the staffs blatant dishonesty and lack of attention to/responsibility for mistakes isnt even worth a low cost advantage: you can get the exact same amenities or more for a lower price (Sun Bay) or a comparable one (Arbor), etc. The plan was for us to stay here long term, but well be leaving the second our lease is up.

Fantastic staff, both in the office and maintenance! Anytime I have a problem it is fixed quickly. Prices are great for the amount of floor space and amenities! 10/10 would recommend.

I do NOT recommend this place. I lived during one year at the Towne Parc and I had no problem until the end of my stay. I was supposed to receive my security deposit back one month after I left. Now it has passed 12 months and I still did not receive the money back. I had the impression that they do that to get people to forget about that money, so they can keep it. I tried calling, emailing and going there and I never got my problem solved. They managed with poor service my situation. I went there today to receive the check that was supposed to arrive yesterday and they said that it was sent to the wrong address. Are you kidding? Very BAD service! Please, don't rent there, but if you still decide to do so, keep an eye on you security deposit money.

They claim to be very pet friendly but have refused to improve the rapidly deteriorating dog park. The plank of wood they have there caused our dogs to get splinters, after pleading with them to change it for 2 years they still have yet to do anything. Additionally the rates continue to go up but very little is done to improve the old buildings. Our floor was on an increasing slope which led to the hardwood cracking by the door and the door to get stuck often. We also had a very noticeable crack in our wall and it was also obvious that the humidity remains trapped in the walls; I always wondered what could be growing in there. Our air conditioning system would have continuous problems. Luckily the maintenance guys are quick to fix things. But the management clearly need to begin to listen to the residents and stop making decision they solely think is best. Maybe they should ask the residents why they would like to see in the community as opposed to spending money getting new pool furniture and a new office when the laundry machines are falling apart and barely dry. The only thing that kept us there for a second year was the great office staff, maintenance guys and our great neighbors. The administration ultimately started to deteriorate in quality once Kim left. She was the one who actually listened.

This place is one of the best to live in Gainesville, the staff is very good and the people here are super friendly. They are pets friendly as well! It is not expensive as other places around here and they keep everything in the best conditions!

Truly a hidden gem of Gainesville. Lived here over a year and can't say anything but wonderful things about the staff and maintenance. Beautiful pond with turtles, friendly neighbors, always clean and well kept, maintenance is always on time and fixes whatever issue immediately, and the property manager is the best. They always have a clean pool and do events all throughout the year, blood drives, basketball tournaments, you name it. While at the same time, it's quiet. My husband and I absolutely love living here. Will definitely be staying as long as we're at UF.
