Oct 2019: The people are nice but I’ve had multiple issues. We have to have a barcode attached to our car to get in and mine never works. We have an ant infestation in our apartment along with millipedes. The rent is on the pricey side. Although I enjoy having my own bedroom and bathroom, the shuttle service to ucf, and security. Review from GoogleOct 2019: I’ve been been here for 2 days and I love it so much. My roommates are all pretty nice. I love the set up the room and the bathroom and both were so clean before I moved in. Review from Google
Oct 2019: Overall living is fine and comfortable. But the guards at the gates are extremely rude and unprofessional. They will get mad at you for asking for simple questions or for directions and refuse to let residents in unless they show a ridiculous amount of proof they they live here. These guards are bottom of the barrel security and don’t care about their jobs. They have straight up refused to let me in because they didn’t know the building numbers and I had to show hard evidence of residency to get in. There is security and then there is lazy guard work. These guys are nothing more than kids slacking off at their job. Review from Google
Sep 2019: The amenities they promise don’t work. They promise 24/7 printing but the lab is closed at night and on weekends. Also our sliding door had like mold on it when we moved it.
Dirty and doesn’t live up to the promises. Review from Google
Aug 2019: Amazing college life experience here at knights circle so far. I have been here for 3 years now and kicking off my 4th year. Everything is great and rents are cheap compared to other communities in the area. The only thing I don't like is the electricity cap which wasn't there the first year I signed at KC. Review from Google
Jun 2019: everyone is very helpful and nice but I have to get maintenance done pretty often. It's cool that I can do that and how fast you respond though. Review from Google
Jun 2019: really nice community, and super easy to get to UCF which is very convenient. also the rooms are pretty big which is a plus Review from Google
Jun 2019: I love the that the community is gated and that the shuttles come by so often, of course, the awesome location has everything to do with the speed at which we get to campus. I really appreciate that this community recycles, as many off-campus housings do not. My only complaint would have to be that the entire apartment (rooms included) should be cleaned before new residents move in. Otherwise, Knights Circle is doing everything right!

Apr 2019: It is so incredibly overpriced for the quality of housing you're getting.
The only saving grace and only reason I am still living here is the amazing shuttle drop off spot (which is right in from of the Student Union). Here are all the bad things I have experience while living at Knights Circle:
1. I found some zebra stripped underwear in the closet when I first moved in.
2. The tub and sink are both super old and do not drain properly, so I asked maintenance to fix it, and they have come three times and it still doesn't drain.
3. One morning 8 am-ish a maintenance person came into my room while I was sleeping, and when I asked them to come back so I could change out of my nightwear, they said they couldn't and that they had to come in right then and there.
4. They started charging us for going over the electricity cap, DURING WINTER BREAK, WHEN EVERYONE WAS GONE FOR TWO WEEKS. They are still charging us even though no one cooks, does laundry barely, or has any appliances or plugs in the outlets Review from Google

Mar 2019: Wow! I am so impressed with KC! My daughter moved in, in August and it was the BEST decision. Apartments are very nice and prices are reasonable. Also, my daughter has met her RA and the other Residence Life Staff and they have been a godsend. I am so happy and excited to release for next year. Thank you KC!!
Mar 2019: Knights Circle is the best place to live around UCF! The apartments are clean and well maintained, and the shuttle makes it so convenient to get to class. The staff are always really nice and helpful. With 24-hour security, I feel really safe living here.
Feb 2019: To be honest this place is amazing I feel so safe living here with the 24/7 sercuity gaurd. Not only that but it right across the street from campus. WiFi is very good and very easy to set up. The staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend! Review from Google
Feb 2019: Update from a 4 star to a 1 star after a year: Bike was stolen and rent is increasing faster than ever, I thought it was a good value, but I'm starting to realize there is better quality non-campus-affiliated housing nearby. I've had every drain in my house clog, a ton of wasps, as well as talked to other residents who have had bed bugs, fleas, and numerous other problems. Security seemed tight at first, but it's more for show.
If you know someone's name and apartment number then you can drive right in with your car, and if you have a bike or are walking then you can wander right in without a word. The shuttles are consistently running back to back which is good if you catch one of them, but otherwise you'll be stuck waiting 20 minutes, plus the route through knights circle takes 15 minutes to pick up everyone and is crowded by the time it ge Review from Google
Feb 2019: Horrible food at UCF, they claim to have healthy eating and don't wash vegetables before cutting and serving to students, the cheese just says yellow or white on the package nothing about cheese because it's not cheese. They thicken everything with liberally boxes of corn starch which is genetically modified. The .processed Turkey meat they serve for sandwiches had so much water added it falls apart when you cut it. The prep cooks don't temp anything then tell you as a new hire just put a number under 32 degrees on the sticker. Food is not safe to eat here. Review from Google
Feb 2019: KC is one of the most spacious rooms I've seen in UCF apartment complexes even for a 4x4. The amenities are also great like the gym and free printing. I also have heard problems with raccoons at other places. The kitchen is kinda small though compared to others but it works, maybe just need a little update. Review from GoogleJan 2019: Waited for the shuttle this morning at 7:00am and it was stuck at the security both till 7:37 because no one was in the booth to let traffic in. It’s still not in the complex, I ended up walking and was late to work.
When I told the office, they shrugged and said “it will come aroundâ€
Stop listing the shuttle as an amenity if there’s no one to let the shuttle in, this isn’t the first time it’s happened. There was also a HUGE pile up of traffic behind Review from GoogleNov 2018: Love the location. Very convenient to UCF and the staff is always very kind and caring. All departments are efficient and work diligently to solve any problems residents may have. May be a bit expensive, but honestly, with all the amenities included and the apartments being fully furnished, including the availability of shuttles, it’s worth it! Love Knights Circle!!!

Oct 2018: In this review, I will be discussing the sorrows that residents encounter while living at Knights Circle. This is a review in five parts. Part one will discuss the lack of furniture and cleanliness a resident receives the apartment in. Part two will explain the bug issues that went unresolved for a long time. Part three will tell of the maintenance issues residents encounter. Part four will warn about the terrible internet service. Part five will discuss the unreliable nature of shuttle services.
Part 1: State of the Apartment
Upon moving to Knights Circle, my roommates and I received our apartment with mismatched furniture galore, smelly garbage disposal, and broken appliances. Despite pleas to have these issues resolved, the staff insisted the best they could do was place us on a waiting list to have them replaced. Furniture replacements Review from Google
Sep 2018: Very weak overall. Run down and beat up, walls look horrible, kitchen is tiny, and they will bill you for everything under the sun. The staff is horribly disorganized and unhelpful, and the various amenities just can’t make up for the core experience of living here. The electricity cap is incredibly low so build in a $10-20 dollar extra fee every month on top of your rent. Also, the kitchen has about as much space as a studio apartment so I would forget the idea of doing much other than very basic cooking. Our dishwasher also did not work and, as a telling sign of the quality of Knight's Circle service, my roommates had zero interest in trying to get it fixed. The worst part of my experience by far was move-in. I arrived June 1st which was a Friday night to move in. I got to the complex round 6 and was told that, despite clearly saying on th Review from Google
Sep 2018: My review is not on the place itself, but on the parking. Residents please warn you visitors that if they do not park in a visitor parking spot their car will be towed. This includes parking in resident spaces even when the visitor section is full. I am not complaining that my car should not have been towed, but that signs should be added in the parking lot to warn visitors. They have signs posted at the entrance but they are very hard to see at nigh. Please warn you guest so they can avoid paying $25 per day to have their vehicle towed and impounded. Review from GoogleSep 2018: There are positives and negatives.
Negative: Apartments are not cleaned like they say it would be cleaned before you move in. I was disappointed on the move in day because the apartment was completely filthy. I understand KC is big and there are a lot of buildings to take care of, but that’s not right to tell people about clean apartments before move in day and then on the move in day the apartments are filthy. Floors had dirt, sticky stuff, there was dust on fans, windowns, beds, then the toilet had yellow/black mold or whatever that stuff was that was not cleaned. The fridge was frightening. Food pieces, hair and sticky stuff on all shelves and the bottom of the shelf is so badly sticky and dirty that till this today I fight to open the shelf.
Also, the smoke detectors are very sensitive! They go off anytime when you are cooking. Even Review from Google
Aug 2018: Good place to live but shuttles SUCK!!!! The drives pass students all the time because they run every 15min instead of every 5. If you uses it as a way to get to class good luck. It makes me late and I’m only the third stop Review from Google
Jul 2018: Apartment is big and spacious, nice location and great amenities. Broke my roommates lease in the summer by moving someone else into the room while charging both of them for rent. When I tried to get the problem fixed with Knights Circle, they told me oh well, pay up $300 or shut up since it wasn't my lease. Was told that I was stuck to live with a random roommate who I did not request for the following year and that there is nothing they could do since no one checks the roommate requests. Would not recommend others to live here despite the nice facade. Save your 800 dollars and go somewhere else Review from GoogleMay 2018: Visited my brother who lives here as few times.
Compared to the other apartment complexes I've seen in Orlando, this is the best. It's nicer and more well thought out than any of the places I've lived at in Gainesville. Seems to have all the normal amenities you might hope for, plus a few extra like good security and a trash service for each apartment.
Definitely reccomend. Review from Google
