Chelsea Lane Apartments

think the walls are on the thinner side, but I feel like that’s kind of expected for an apartment. Inside the apartment there’s not a lot of storage space. In the pictures, there’s a closet next to the kitchen. It’s has the AC and water heater, so 25% of it is actual closet space. Super close to campus and a few routes will take you from the bus stop next to Chelsea Lane to the Hub. Overall I think the apartment is a great space to start with and especially starting with no furniture - we made it homey with a few things. Also, Management is pretty good at sending someone to fix things quickly. Issue with the apartment: it’s the apartments behind Chelsea Lane. Since the bedroom is in the back, it’s right next to the parking lot of West 20. On the weekends at the early hours (3-5 am), there are people who are burning tire into the West complex, at one point doing donuts, and blasting music from their parked car. On the regular, saturday/sundays early morning people fire several shots (I’m assuming up since I haven’t heard them hit anything). It’s so close that you can hear whoever they are, talking and laughing. It doesn’t feel safe in this regard, I’m anxious about a stray bullet or them losing control of their car when they do donuts. It’s such a regular thing, that I’m not planning to renew my lease for this reason.

"dated" but they worked perfectly fine for me and I actually enjoyed the look of my "dated" stove. The microwave I had in my unit was upgraded though. - Because I live on the 2nd floor I have an extra storage closet which is a bonus - Even though the complex is on a busy street the apartment doesn't get terribly noisy and because the bedroom is located in the back it is nice and quite. - Maintenance is pretty quick to solve any issue you have - Location is great! Close to the university, shopping and there is a bus stop a short walk away. It's located near the start of 20th Ave off of 34th street so you're not sitting in that rush hour traffic for too long. Cons: - The parking lot has just enough spots for the residents and a few guests. Some of the spots are a little narrow so if one person parks incorrectly, it affects almost everybody else near that spot. - The drain in the parking lot overflows when there is super heavy rain. Parking near the drain when it pours is not a good idea because there is ankle deep water. - There isn't a lot of counter space in the bathroom - There is a fire station down the road so every now and again there are fire trucks that drive by with their sirens (not too big of a deal though) - I noticed that certain time of the years I would find dead cockroaches in my apartment. Not a crazy amount, but they do spray for pest control. And it's Florida so you are going to get bugs here and there, but I would absolutely not classify it as a "pest issue"
