Neighborhood

South Gainesville is a residential section of town in the lush lands of central Florida. The neighborhood lies immediately south of the University of Florida, making it popular with those affiliated with the university. But the city is appealing to more than just students. This verdant area is filled with all types of outdoor adventure, from Alachua Lake Overlook to the streams and lakes that wind through town. More outdoor recreation is available outside of the city’s bounds. Despite being in central Florida, residents enjoy a short hour-and-a-half drive east or west to the Atlantic beaches. Renters looking for a place in South Gainesville will find a variety of options suited for almost every renter.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Great community

My wife and I really loved this place. We decided to move out from our previous apartment because we didn't feel safe. So far, our experience has been really good. The staff is great :) Diego Leitao

This is a great place to live! So many amenities that fit the family and so much to do. Onsite laundry is always clean and 24/7. Awesome office staff! Tessa, Jay, and Eric are the best! Maintenance is always there and working on what you need. Pool is always sparkling and so inviting. I recommend this place to all of my friends.

Good so far

Boardwalk so far has been good, definitely a lot better than the previous community I lived in. Tessa, Jay, Wade, Gary, and Eric have been great. The apartments are nice, I don't really hear any noise unless my upstairs neighbors have their TV turned up loud or they are running the main bathroom shower. They are pet friendly (but no dog park so I walk to another Collier owned apt complex). And of course you have the irresponsible dog owners which isn't the complex fault, they can't see everything all the time, so I make sure I have control of my dog. The only other issue is the parking situation which doesn't seem to get enforced if the vehicle has either been sitting there for a while, or there's expired tags, or simply doesn't have a community sticker on it. They don't get towed. Other than that, it's pretty quiet, it's well maintained and most people here have been friendly.

Nice apartments in a great location!

The staff is very helpful, especially Wade with the maintenance team. Being so close to UF Shands hospital is another big plus. Overall very happy to be living here for the past two years!

Perfect for us

We've been living at Boardwalk for almost a year now and just renewed. The maintenance team is consistently friendly, fast, and helpful, addressing requests promptly. The location is convenient, with easy access to bus stops and close to UF without being on campus. The office staff is great. Tessa is both helpful and honest, making our leasing process fast and transparent. The community here is a nice mix of families and college students, creating a balanced and welcoming environment. Overall, Boardwalk has been a good place to live.

Cockroach heaven

I rented a 1/1 for a year, and I could not wait for my lease to end. Living here includes a constant bombardment of cockroaches, lazy and sloppy maintenance, and loud and raunchy neighbors. I did not feel safe leaving the apartment at night as there was almost always people yelling at each other in the parking lots or blaring their car music excessively. I called management multiple times, and they refused to do anything about these issues. I'm not sure how much money I spent on pest control; nothing I did stopped cockroaches coming out of every crack in the wall (of which, there were several). Whenever maintenance came to work on issues that were promised to be completed before moving in, they would always leave behind a mess, including leaving broken parts in my kitchen sink, spattering broken glass all over the carpet after replacing a window, to standing on my furniture and leaving dirty footprints. The only thing this place has going for it is a decent laundry facility. Living at the Boardwalk was an awful experience and I do not recommend renting here.

Property Manager at Boardwalk, Responded To This Review

We are truly sorry to hear about your negative experience at our community. We take your feedback seriously and will address the issues you've raised with our maintenance and management teams. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we will work diligently to improve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Not great

I lived at Boardwalk for 2 years, and it has been nothing but trouble for me. Front office associates were always nice, but I was consistently trying to get maintenance to come and fix things. If they did, they did great. It was just a hassle getting them to actually show up. Some rude neighbors. I was over charged my second year living there for rent, AND 5 days before moving out they decided they were going to try and charge a late fee on rent that was turned in 2 weeks prior! I would not recommend living here unless you're desperate. Bugs everywhere, showers were always leaking, fans didn't work, no proper insulation, no proper parking. Just would not recommend.

Property Manager at Boardwalk, Responded To This Review

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for being a resident for the past two years. I do apologize if you experienced any problems with maintenance during your stay. We have a new service manager that has recently come on board and believes highly in customer service and getting the work done in a timely manner. I apologize if in error you were charged late fees and I am sure when it was brought to someone?s attention it was adjusted. Pest control comes weekly for our residents and can actually come more often if requested. We also have a large parking lot behind the office for our resident?s convenience. Once again, thank you for being a valued resident for the past two years and I welcome you to stop by the office anytime with positive suggestions and ideas on how to improve our property.

Not anything that was promised

We walked into our (unlocked) apartment to find the paint splattered everywhere, lights that were hanging broken, missing lights/fans in bedrooms, door with chipped holes in them, a never cleaned kitchen, cabinets half the size of the showroom, broken bathroom mirrors, a dishwasher that makes the garbage disposal and the toilets back up when it runs, a washer and dryer that make it seem like an earthquake, a water heater that has insulation touching wires, holes in our carpet, and the stench of cigarettes. But I mean it is close to UF, and they allow my dog.... That's all that there is going for it.

Good for the price!

I lived in a 3/2 for the past year. Ready is pretty cheap, I had awesome neighbors and ken joyed my time there. I heard that other residents had issues with the office and having things fixed, but I never did. As long as you're an adult and communicate with the complex, you'll get your money's worth with a great location!
