The Ava Apartments

Wow what a AMAZING place to live. I understand that some people think that good reviews come from people who work inside of the complex but not this one! I first would like to give a thank you to Ms. Rita you have been there for me even before moving in you took a chance on me moving from a different state. And also Ms.Trina who also encouraged me during my crisis of almost getting evicted. And they were both there for me during the time my son was in the NICU. I moved to the complex in May 2018 from Washington DC. I didn’t even see the apartment I took a chance on them and they took a chance on me I got approved for the apartment and took a long flight down to Florida when I got there I was greeted by Rita’s smiling face and a wonderful lake view. The Apartment was clean and spacious and the amenities were wonderful the pool was clean the playground was not broken in the gym was cute and comfortable. Rite ,Trina always had Pleasant conversations with me and asked about the welfare of my children they felt like family. Even when I was about to get evicted (my fault I fell on hard times) they kept me in the loop of the process and in their prayers. They fought tooth and nail for me and by the grace of God I managed to come up with the money. When my son was in the NICU for about four weeks and each time they saw me or my husband they showed us with encouraging words and hugs where received from them. Later on Mr. Alex joined the team and he too was just like family. I will never forget them. It’s crazy because you would think this is a small complex but it’s not, they took the time to love on everyone equally!!!! Love y’all so much. I miss y’all so much. ( I moved back to DC for the baby) P.S You guys deserve for the office to be close on Sundays!!!!

Excellent Apartment Complex! I feel bad for anyone that has not had the same experience that I have had this past year. The front office staff has been a absolute delight to work with and I'm going to miss them all! Huge thanks to Rita, Alex and the office manager for always taking good care of me. I was actually working with them a couple months ago to renew my lease until I had the opportunity to move into my first home with my partner. I would have stayed there for years! Sad to leave Mabry Manor and the area. I loved being able to go to the Seminole Heights which is about 2miles away or Ybor which is about 15-20mins away. Clean and safe grounds. The apartment was small, renovated and VERY affordable. The my electric bill was always super cheap and boy am I going to miss that! Lol! I highly recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking to move into the area. Thanks again to the staff for making my last apartment experience so special. -Cara

I discovered mold in my apartment today that I've begged management to look into for over 2 months. They lied and said it is not mold. They don't care about tenants!!

Roach infested, they knowingly move you intoan apartment with roaches. The first night there were roaches in my apartment. Office staff is lazy and they are never helpful! This complex shows no respect for paying customers. Once you move in, they don't do anything special for tenants. Hidden fees everywhere. There are much better options in Tampa. Radco is horrible too!! Horrible place for a family to live!!!

I would not recommend this place. Since I have been here my water heater flooded my apartment and my ceiling leaked water. I had to call the cops because my neighbors play music until 3 am every weekend. Kids play in the street and dart out in the road. My neighbor smokes and my entire apartment and clothes smells like cigarette smoke. There are 5-6 men that live upstairs and are super noisy. And the staff has an attitude every time you ask them a simple question. Just don't bother.

I had a tour of the apartment scheduled for 10 am. Got there by 9:55. Waited about 25-30 min. Not a soul showed up. The sign said “Open”. But the door was locked. Not an email, or a text, or a phone call to explain. Poor service and lack of common courtesy. They should seriously reconsider Rita’s employment.

The absolute worst place to live. The apartment randomly get a weird sewer smell, the maintenance doesn't fix anything. My fridge was broken for 6 months before they finally fixed it. That was only after me calling one million times. They ignore you when there is an issues and charge you almost 200$ for a late fee if you rent is late. Do not come to this apartment complex! It is horrible!

my apartment is inexpensive to rent. Maintenance is overworked and a little slow at fixing things. If you're looking for perfection shop elsewhere. If you want to clean safe place to live this is the place for you. There is a nice pool and workout area. The staff is friendly and helpful. The complex as a whole is very quiet.

In the beginning the management was right on top of things. But since the management kept changing in the 5 yrs I've been there it's gotten progressively worse. The outside is very nice but if something needs fixing then it's like you have to pull teeth to get it done. It also doesn't include any utilities. They always want to raise your rent but they don't fix things too quickly.
