Mar 2022: Somehow every updates they are making just end worst than what they had!!! The internet here sucks!!
Jun 2019: This place is absolute garbage. The only benefit of living here is how close it is to campus. It smells terrible, water damage is constant. The elevators are disgusting and broken more than half the time. The floors are disgusting are disgusting looking and don’t look like they’ve been power washed ever. Fire alarms at 6 in the morning for no reason (on the first day of the semester), internet down for a whole MONTH, disgusting floors and walls, insect infestations on the daily, terrible staff, the list goes on and on. Don’t live here it’s a headache I hope I can spare to anyone planning on living by USF. If you want to live close to campus go to The Flats right next door. Review from Google

Review from GoogleJun 2019: Olivia (Community Assistant) gave me the most amazing tour of this beautiful property yesterday. She was engaging, down-to-earth, and super easy to talk to. She was real enough to give me the full scoop of the residence, all the good and all of the dirt. After a long conversation, a Popsicle (or two), and the incredible tour, I signed a lease the same day. Olivia stayed 30 minutes after closing to assist me in signing my lease and ensure that I understood every word, no tricks or games. Although she is the only community assistant at Avalon Heights I have engaged with, she is by far my favorite. She took so much of her time to make sure that I was making the right choice for myself, and comfort my concerns. Beautiful property, and an even more amazing community assistant. Olivia is the best!

Jun 2019: If you want good internet do not come here. They have single digits probably the worst company I have ever experienced. Avalon themselves never give me a problem but if I have to sit on Tech Support with Single digits because there internet keeps going away I would rather transfer to UCF. I’ve had the Tech support blame my PS4 which is practically brand new for the internet issues. I literally went back home for a weekend and it worked perfect. Then the WiFi cuts out and I tell them my phone hotspot is working perfect on everything and they say that we’re sorry for the inconvenience can we call you when everything’s working. The LAN box is a joke. It was busted in my building and they said they would send a technician and it’s been 2 weeks and no sign of a technician and there has been no reliable internet in that span either. This is a joke of a company and I hope to god Avalon switches because I may renew Review from Google

Jun 2019: Place is always trashed, litteraly trash on the floor everywhere and around all apartments. Smells awful always and all of the apartments have water damage/ constant flooding Review from GoogleAre there any places where I can meet with many USF apartment communities, in person, at one location? At USF, there is a wonderful event called the Bull Market. At the Bull Market many of the local apartment communities will have a booth. At their booth you can get shirts or other branded items as well as ask any questions....read more

Mar 2019: Sebstian C. (Property Manager), thank you for responding. I appreciate what you did to help others after my complaint. The one sign I would have liked to have seen was the one we discussed but that didn't happen from what I could see when I came by. But again thank you for adding the extra signs. Although your vendor will be receiving a citation for only allowing consumers to pay by cash only. Not to mention her horrible rude mouth! I've read too many reviews about how nasty she was to others. Thankfully it didn't go as far for me. Please don't use that a towing business as the excuse for her behavior because there are many towing companies with good reviews. They are a horrible company and with a 1 star review and will not answer any of their BBB complaints and have stated they will not. I wouldn't want to be doing business with them or have them as one of my vendors. I'm certainly not the first complaint! But again I want to say I do appreciate what you have did at the complex Review from GoogleMar 2019: Literally the worst place you could live. Roommate matching is, aforementioned in previous reviews, a joke. My roommates have always been loud and messy and the desk does not care at all (I get it dealing with complaining undergrads sucks, but come one). I tried to break my lease, FYI apparently you can't, you can "re-let" and they "will help" you find a new tenant... yeah right, you get stuck paying the rent until the lease is up, unless you find someone yourself, but even then the front desk found a way to screw that up for me. The front desk is very rude, aside from a few people that have actually been helpful (like 1 person). The maintenance people are usually pretty good when they show up. Also there is very limited guest parking, and it is often full, I had a 1 visitor come stay for 1 night and the lot was full so we parked outside the gate (where past guest parking was). Their car was towed and the front desk told them to "PARK AT ANOTHER APARTMENT COMPLEX NEXT TIME Review from GoogleFeb 2019: My son lives at Avalon Heights. It's just ok. After pressure is a joke. You can barely rinse shampoo out of your hair. Dishwasher is not properly installed. In fact, they just slid it into the space without securing it. If you open the door and slide out a loaded shelf the entire unit tips forward. You have to stand right in front to make sure the shelves don't just crash onto the floor. There is no silverware basket so you have to wash knives and forks by hand. Roaches everywhere. Stove is in terrible shape too.
Feb 2019: I’ve seen many other reviews so I’m assuming this is a problem here! The visitor parking is so misleading. As others have stated there are NO clear signs stating residents only. No tow away signs either. It was very dark so this made it even more difficult with no signs. I had to go to a coworkers apartment. I was parked up front not inside the gate. I’m educated and know all about permits and parking because i live in a complex as well. Within 20 minutes of arriving my car was towed. I’m sure someone was watching me get out of my car. The sad part there were at least ten other cars and only a few had a permit. I was the chosen one for the hour I guess. To say I’m upset is an understatement! I don’t want this to happen to anyone else so please read the reviews about parking. I actually was looking into a lease here but no way now.
Feb 2019: This is the worst possible place I could’ve lived for my first year. The internet is absolutely atrocious, my apartment was extremely dirty when I moved in, the dish washer has never worked and still doesn’t and maintenance doesn’t want to fix it, the washing machine broke after 4 months and they said they’d replace it with a brand new one and installed one that looks like it’s in worse condition. The water fountain in the gym hasn’t worked for 3 weeks and nobody seems to have even looked at it. I would not recommend living here. 700+ dollars a month for this is ridiculously high.
Dec 2018: i know someone that lived there and the maintanace there sucks,my friend waited more then 3 months for something to be fixed and never got fix then when you go to them about the problem its always a song and dance,on top of it they even kept charging people for things that my friend wasnt even using they suck bad.you cany
t even get through to corprate office to file a claim against that complex. Review from Google
Dec 2018: I have been living here for almost three years, and I have more negative things to say than positive ones. I guess something that bothers me the most is that they hardly ever clean the fitness center and don't provide the wet towels so we can clean up after the workout (because they don't refill them). The gym mat looks scary to even sit in it, like a homeless person has been sleeping on it. The staff people are nice (only good perk) most of the time. Wi-fi doesn't work sometimes. My ceiling has leaked a couple times. When I left for the break my kitchen stuff were taken away. And when I brought this matter to the manager, she was supposed to give me a 50$ Walmart gift card that never got to me... The rent increased even though I had already renewed before the deadline ? Also, even though I only came home to sleep, the utility costs increased. Review from Google
Nov 2018: don't go here they will tow your car if you park outside the gate, what seems to be visitors parking. No clear sign that says resident only! They expect residents to come to the gate Everytime to open it for visitors. It would be way more logical to have your visitors parking outside the gate like everyone else. Or at least make it clear for visitors!! Review from Google
Nov 2018: Everything breaks all the time, whether it's the internet or the elevators. Also they come into your apartment and room all the time without asking, whether you're there or not most of the time will little to no notice.
I almost forgot to mention that when they did the remodel they didnt make any sort of accommodations or any show any sort of courtesy. While cutting out drywall they generated a huge amount of dust that coated everything in the entire room. That means my bedsheets, my clothes, and all of my electronics. To this day I can probably find the dust inside my computer.Then they did absolutely nothing to clean it up. I honestly dont know how what they did was legal becuase forcing someone to live in all that dust hast to be some sort of heath code violation. That was the worst of the remodel, the other days you just had to move all o Review from GoogleNov 2018: This place is awful, for the love of God do not live here. Also, they shut down your internet for a few days RIGHT BEFORE FINALS WEEK. They told us we would have WiFi access in their study centers. NOPE. "It's hit or miss", they said. Just don't live here. If I could go around and pay people to not live here I would. And as far as valuing your feedback? I hope you can hear my loud luaghter from here at that comment. Review from Google
Nov 2018: THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. Worst Place . The lies the website has! The upgrades suck, the staff can care less about meeting your needs. Amount of time it takes to get somthing fixed is depressing. They do not care about getting anything fixed or updating things that are aged/damaged. The corridors smell like fecal. Disaster of a place Review from GoogleOct 2018: The corridors of this complex are filthy and look grim. Valet trash only makes everything smell like fecal matter. The water in the shower takes obnoxiously long to get warm. Why can’t the computers in the lab run Chrome? There’s no light in the ceiling fan. This place gets an extra star for having a balcony accompany every room and for not asking for buttloads of money to move in. It’s possible you could do worse.. I’m sure there’s someplace objectively $h!ttier.
Oh, and fix the elevator, please. It’s been over 2 months. Review from GoogleOct 2018: AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I lived there for only 3 months and got hit with $60 in overages. The whole time I lived there I had numerous AC issues and power outages with very little and half assed maintenance work, with them leaving lights on in the spare room (I lived in a 4 bed and only 3 People lived there) and left the door locked so I couldn’t turn it off and had to wait days for the bookkeeper of all people to begrudgingly come to my apartment to turn the light off and sarcastically ask if I had anything else I needed to get fixed. I had window AC units plugged in for about two weeks with my AC unit still blowing hot air. My AC unit froze because it was working so hard and the lines were clogged. When I brought these issues up as factors that could have spiked my overage, the same bookkeeper told me that the window units would use Review from Google
Aug 2018: The place is okay. Cracks in the ceiling that I'm worried about rain getting into and some parts are kinda dingy but overall I'm having a decent experience. It wasn't as nice as I expected it to be. Review from Google
Jun 2018: I would have got the same experience in other cheaper communities. Paying extra doesn't get me good nights' sleep.
Roommate matching is a joke. I mentioned about high sensitivity towards noise while registering (also personally requested at the desk about it) and they still put me in a hell. These undergrads invite all sorts of people at home and party till 6 in the morning. That's the time I usually start getting ready for my work. I literally get no sleep. There is just a thin wooden wall between my room and the living room where they all gather to scream and shout. I requested them many time to keep it low, but no one seems to care and asking this all the time makes no sense. Annoyed!! Review from GoogleMay 2018: I honestly don’t know who is giving this place more than 1 star. I’m a guy that doesn’t even care about much of anything, but the management here is about as bad as it gets. We were moved into a roach infested apartment that wasn’t resolved completely for about 3 months or so, the “remodel†they did is half assed, old appliances are still used and our dish washer doesn’t work and has yet to be replaced even after 2 maintenance requests. The water is ALWAYS being shut off randomly and almost never when they email saying it’s going to be. There’s just always something going on and their lack of communication on what the hell is going on is what pisses us off the most. No one should live here for $700 (4bedroom) I wouldn’t pay a dime over $500 for what we get here knowing what I know now. Go down the street or anywhere else wh Review from GoogleMay 2018: The absolute WORST nearby campus complex you can rent from. First things first, they wax you every single month with overages. I stay at my boyfriends apartment every single night and am only ever at avalon 30 minutes out of the day(If even) and continue getting anywhere from 10-40 dollars in overages monthly. When I went to the front desk to ask what was going on an to explain I'm literally never there, the only response they could come up with was "everyone gets overages". The front desk staff is anything but helpful when it comes to absolutely everything. My roommates and I had fleas in our apartment when we moved in and had to go to the store ourselves to buy flea killer because the second you would sit on the couch or in a chair, the fleas would attack your legs. Secondly, the complex moved the visitor parking from outside of the gates to Review from Google
