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.

Property Ratings at Lakeside at Southwood
The experience residing here has been great. The front office makes it a habit to check on their residents. They make sure that the residents are good. Only thing I do not like is the plants placed in front of the patios. That is creating bugs to come out now.
The apartment is very clean and I love the area. The neighbors have been very kind, the amenities are beautiful, and I love the quiet surround environment.
Very spacious, Hayden at the front desk was super helpful. Nice pool. Some of the equipment in the gym was broken. The apartment looks brand new.
Great move-in. Hayden was very helpful, received lots of clear communication and responses were timely. So far so good, love the size of the apartment.
Not the best start. Move in was below par & the stench was putrid-- the space clearly had not been cleaned or made move in ready unfortunately to everyone's surprise including the staff. No one had walked through the unit & baseboards had been destroyed amongst other things. I am hopeful for better things to come. No other units available and as they were able to correct the issues aside from the smell we really were locked into the lease. The model was stunning but we were a little duped. Hard to get in contact with the staff but we have only been here a few days. Renting a washer and dryer that isn't available for a few weeks but still paid for it-- it is being refunded but with everything else things have been a tad uneasy in our unit. Hopeful that we can adjust this experience to a few more stars.
Excellent customer service and very helpful, kind and responsive. Just that washer and dryer will come through a couple weeks after my move in. Not happy about that.
Management is easy to work with. Very clean units. Maintenance keeps things working. Neighbors are nice and friendly. Would recommend for families.
Love everything about the Room and layout. The staff are really patient and sweet. Easily one of the best apartments around Tallahassee. The neighbourhood is amazing
It’s a very nice community, noise is an issue inside the apartment but that comes with most apartments. The only issue is pet waste being out of hand.
Our experience has been smooth up-to now, the location is great and close to stores, staff is very helpful and friendly, amenities are good in general.
This place is great , but my packages do keep coming up missing. Other than that I love it here. The community is great and the neighbors are friendly.
Apartments are nice sized, but neighbors above are very loud. Dog owners don’t pick up after their dogs. The maintenance guys are great! They really do a great job with the trash area.
Clean! Everything works. Community staff are very responsive and friendly. Lots of space for kids to play. The gym is also great to stay fit. Pool is also clean, not sure it is heated
It is a very clean community and everyone is very respectful about their fellow neighbors. The office is always wiling to help with anything.
Love this new community. The apartments are large and beautiful. It's tucked away in the Southwood area that I have lived in for four years, so I'm happy that I chose to remain.
I love it here. It’s a mostly quiet community. The only issue I have is with pet owners not cleaning up after their pets, I have to be vigilant when walking to make sure I don’t step in poo.
I love the idea of CR. Not only does is it a reward system, but also a connection to my community. I appreciate you CR, and my apartment management team for the introduction!
Lakesides is the ideal place to call home! With its tranquil neighborhood and beautifully designed, brand-new apartments, it truly stands out as a gem in the Southwood area. We absolutely love living here and couldn’t adore it more!
I love it here! The apartments are nice! The amenities are great! I haven’t met anyone that wasn’t friendly! Perfect for anyone and everyone!
Great place to live. Great amenities. Would def recommend. The apartments are spacious. The area is quiet and well maintained. The price is great for what they offer.
Spacious house that’s great for entertaining. Neighborhood is quiet. Dogs love the fenced in yard and the patio is a decent size. Nice place to live
I absolutely love living at Lakeside at Southwood. The community is peaceful and serene, offering a sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere. The neighbors are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like home. The amenities here are nothing short of amazing—beautifully maintained, convenient, and designed to enhance everyday living. Whether it’s enjoying the well-kept outdoor spaces, relaxing by the pool, or taking advantage of the fitness facilities, there’s always something to appreciate. It truly feels like a hidden gem, and I couldn’t be happier to call it home.
I have enjoyed living in this apartment, but I wanted to share some feedback for the leasing office regarding the shared areas, particularly the stairs and corridors outside the apartments. These areas often have a lot of spider webs and dirt, which can be unpleasant and affect the overall living experience. I believe regular cleaning or even using a blower to maintain these spaces would make a big difference. A little more attention to this would be greatly appreciated and would reflect the high standards residents expect. Thank you for considering this!
By far the best residential neighborhood that I've lived in! The peace and quietness is makes coming home a joy. From the first day, everyone has been welcoming and I finally felt like I was HOME!!!
Love my neighbors and the staff at Lakeside are amazing ... I Love how clean the community is and how nice the people are in the community.
Family Friendly and quiet. We love it here! Our experience has been great. The staff are nice and attentive. I wish there were amenities for children but there is a nice pool.
I like the area but the home is not built well. The floors are terrible and peeling. Really bad construction, even for a rental. The gym is nice. The pool was not kept as clean after the new management company took over.
Wonderful Community! Great staff and maintenance crew! If you’re looking for a nice quiet place to stay, then you have found your spot! 5 star
We really enjoy living here. Quiet, clean. Neighbors are kind. Close enough to restaurants and shopping. We hope to live here for a long time.
We love the location as well as the friendliness of the staff. Amenities and maintenance are good. Our house is large enough for our baby boy, also.
When issues arise, they are handled quickly from the staff. Love layout and part of town it is in. neighbors are friendly. Construction is so good that we never hear our neighbors connected by wall. We love it here.
I have never had an issue that could not be resolved easily. Easy to deal with office staff. Everything on property is nice and taken care of.
Overall I am happy with my apartment community. Other than the price. Management is really good at addressing any issues you take to them. I am not much of an apartment person, as I have lived in houses for over 30yrs. I have neighbors over me that are very loud over my head every day (stomping, running, dropping heavy objects. If I didn't have this happening, I would probably stay here longer, but me and my families rest is continuedly being interrupted by the noise. I even have been having headaches from the noise over my head.
Community is great except for the loud music my neighbors be playing on a daily basis and management will not do anything about it after multiple times of reporting the issue,
My experience at Lakeside has been great. However, there is no incentive for residence and the price of rent is increasing. I don’t believe RAM Partners understand the demographics here in Florida compared to Georgia. Trying to operate this location the same as Atlanta will be very challenging, there will see a decline in residences moving in, you will have to change the requirements to move in, no one will be able to afford the rent and the property value will go down. If you think it’s a joke just look at your sister property Grove Park. I’m stayed at both properties, never late with rent, a perfect resident, and worked at Grove Park. So having a perspective from both sides, I believe that more incentive can be offered . Whether it’s one or two months free for new residents, your rent doesn’t increase if you sign a 13 or 15 month lease renewal, and do not have residents pay those additional fees (internet, trash, rental insurance & pest)that were originally included in the rent.
I have been here for about 4 months. The apartments are brand new and beautiful. And large too. The largest floor plans in Tallahassee. But, you can hear the neighbors above. I think that is every apartment community in Tallahassee though. There is no insulation between me and above neighbor. I can even hear them talking. I had to purchase fans to curb the noise. If you don't mind hearing the neighbors above, and want a larger than normal apartment, then I recommend this community!
