I rarely post reviews but have no choice but to do so now considering the circumstances. Taking away all the emotion out of it, here is my take on The Yacht Club at Brickell Apartmenets after having lived here 6 years. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly with this AIMCO property: THE GOOD - The property is managed quite well - The staff is friendly, for the most part - Maintenance is timely - Great location - Uninhibited bay views THE BAD - The units are older for Brickell standards. Moldy tiled bathrooms and bathroom door frames. Even though I have lived here for 6 years, they still want to charge me to replace the moldy and crusty door. - Across the street, the tallest skyscraper in Miami is currently being built. They have a 24-hour construction permit! Luckily, they don't go 24 hours but they do pretty much work from 6am - 9pm. Very loud and the traffic can be a mess since it narrows down to one lane. - Employee turnover in the common areas is high. Always seems to be someone new at the front desk. - Air conditioning in the building seems to break down monthly. They are always doing repairs to the cooling tower. Not fun during the summer! THE UGLY - My rent has been increased by 40% over the past 5 years! INCREDIBLE!!!!!! In particular, over the past 3 years, they tried to increase my rent hundreds of dollars. They've met in the middle the past few years but this year, they were pretty much firm. How is one supposed to budget for such an increase? Even worse, the response was so slow over the 2 month period that I only had less than 2 weeks to scramble to make moving arrangements. In other words, I felt I was pushed in the corner to renew my lease since I simply don't have time to coordinate a move right now with my busy schedule. - They charge for any apartment upgrades...such as laminate wood flooring, or upgraded kitchen countertops. - They started charging for the 1st parking spot, which used to be a part of the rent. They charge even more for the 2nd parking spot. - They now make all residents split the utility costs in the common areas! Think of it as a homeowners association fee...even though you own nothing and are just renting. - And did I mention my rent increasing 40%??? They try to say that they are just keeping up with the market. However, given the aforementioned, rental increases of that amount YOY are definitely not warranted. There's no considerations for loyalty and a tenant that always pays on time. They will look at you as dispensable come renewal time...their famous line is "If you don't renew, we'll easily find someone else that will take your apartment and pay a lot more".
