The District At Flagler Village

Customer service simply to schedule and tour the property was atrocious. No direction on future guest parking either. The front had quite a pungeant odor. Quite frankly couldn't even proceed without scanning a qr code (the only establishment to require this) followed by Corey(the customer service rep) being exceptionally rude, in addition to complaining he was the only one there all day. If this is how they greet potential renters it's an easy scratch off the list.

A lot of the reviews are from people that just moved in or haven't dealt with the moving out process. Trust me DON'T SIGN A LEASE WITH THESE PEOPLE. Apart from the leak issues and water damage throughout the entire building which causes mold. They stole our deposit and charged us for damages. Even though Jerry the maintenance manager told us we would not be charged for as it was regular wear and tear. We got charged $400. Which they could take out of our $1500 deposit except they said the deposit went to "rental charges" and was apparently absorbed into a black hole as this is not shown anywhere in the ledger. We have tried to talk to them and they will not take off the erroneous charges. There are so many buildings in Flagler village you can move into. DON'T CHOOSE THIS ONE.

Living in this building is an absolute nightmare! The incessant noise from the nearby night clubs is unbearable. It feels like there's a never-ending party just outside my windows, making it impossible to get any rest or peace. To make matters worse, the management of the building seems completely indifferent to the problem. They've turned a deaf ear to our complaints, leaving us to suffer the constant cacophony without any resolution in sight. Save yourself the misery and look elsewhere for a quieter and more considerate place to call home!

Favela Fort Lauderdale at Miami prices. The entire place smells like dog urine because the dog owners have zero respect. Witnessed a shooting within my first 3 months of living there in the Roxanne's parking lot along with multiple fights. The gym doesn't have nearly enough equipment, a common theme of the REIT that owns this place being cheap. Don't expect your security deposit back, you can leave the place spotless but they'll still find painting and cleaning fees that somehow add up exactly to your security deposit. Most residents are not friendly and transient folk from other states like Cali. Appliances are low quality for a new building. Showers don't have glass enclosure but they'll fraudulently advertise that on the website. Don't get wooed by the "newer" construction in a still gentrifying part of Flagler Village, stay closer to Las Olas Blvd for your safety and sanity if you actually understand quality.q

I moved in 2024, Great area, great location. Not worth the money 2700$ for a small 1bdrm. I call it a highscale dog kannel that has all the smells that come with it. As you make you way to the front of the entrance you are greeted with the smell of heavy dog unrine from every dog around. They even have the fake green carpet out front so all the dogs can use this as the bathroom potty ground. trust me the smell could choke you as it has me. After signing the lease ,getting my key I opened the door to a dirty apartment with white paint drops all over the entire floor. Dirty oven, Dirty sink, Dirty shower, washer not working, cable not working for days, icemaker not working for two weeks. I can say when the lease is up I will be long gone from here. Oh and be prepared to be woken up by dogs barking anytime time of the night or early morning. Don't forget about the parking fee and comminity fees, trash fee, so after paying your electric bill you will also pay additional electric charges for the building usage, and water usage in your unit and the building.

Pros: Maintenance guy is great, Corey is the only one with common sense, Brand new building and close to las olas and the beach. Cons: There's a homeless guy living in the dumpster, smells terrible all around the building, only get one parking space & have to pay $300 for another, after lease ended rent was raised by $1000, and management is terrible.

After living here for over a year, our rent payment bounced one time which we addressed the day we were notified and the property refused to take back hundreds of dollars in late fees, and called us on a Friday night at 7pm acting like a scammer. The payment was made through THEIR system, but didn't come out on time so it overlapped a different payment we made days later. A simple mistake on our part but they refuse to work with us on the hundreds of dollars extra in late fees on top of high rent and already paying hundreds of dollars every month in all kinds of fees added to the rent. Oh and they wouldn't let us pay through their system again so we had to pay using a method that also cost us extra fees.

Apartment has so much light in it, it looks like daylight at night. "Blackout shade" is false advertising. With the placement/size of the window, they are impossible to replace with curtains. New shade would run at least $250. Constant noise on weekdays from bars across the street even being stories up. Best of all, you not only pay all of your own utilities but for the buildings utilities as well! Have never seen that in any building I've previously lived in. I'm actually PAYING EXTRA for the light pouring into my apartment at night. Random utility charges will constantly be added to your ledger. There will be dog accidents regularly around the building. Zero parking available unless you want to throw in an extra $100 a month for that as well. The pricing may seem competitive as first and yes the units are beautiful but with the hidden fees and quality of life offered - not being able to park after work or have a dark or at least quiet room to sleep in, it's not worth what they're charging. Cannot wait to leave. Came up back to update it to a one star because the leasing managers attitudes are also trash as stated in most of the reviews from people who didn't leave a review a day after moving in.

This used to be a great place to live but now... I would RUN!! You can see the photos of the neighborhood group chat about the mold & bug infestations I'm just going to tell you about my personal experience. First, everything is done through their apps which never work. I cannot put my rent on auto-pay and don't always remember on the 1st to manually pay so I get late fees every month unnecessarily because literally, no exaggeration, not a SINGLE person that works here knows how to fix it... lol. I've begged for OVER a year every one to just put me on auto pay but nobody can so Im stuck with a $150 fee every month. It gets better.... this last month I forgot over a week that they locked me out to pay so long I got served eviction papers!!!!! With no way to pay so I reached out to corporate who sent me back to the property manager Anthony who had been the one Ive been dealing with that not only doesnt help but doesnt even respond to acknowledge. I waited 3 weeks one time & his response was they;re closed on the weekends LOL its been 3 weekends... I also wanted to move into a 2br here (initially) and give them MORE money when I reached out 60 days before I had to renew but no response so literally forced to stay here another 15 months bc didn't even leave me time to search for a 2br in another building. I've had 4 missing packages in the last 2 months worth almost $500 including 2 days ago. They got these new package lockers which BTW you have to pay $10 a day for each locker if you dont pick up your package in 24 hours but I literally went to open the locker & nothing was in there... again. My dishwasher has been broken so long bc either the app to order maintenance doesnt work or the couple times it put my order through nobody showed up that my dishes actually got mold on them & I had to throw out everything & buy all new dishes, cups & silverware. Everything is cheap af like IKEA. Every time it rains they need to put fans on all the carpets AND the walls / cielings start caving in (see photos). A few months ago I woke up to 3 little holes in the floor board with insects swarming out. Swarming. Colonies of them. Couldnt walk on the floor without stepping on them. They even made it into my BED!!!! Took 3 days to get someone here. 3 days of insects in my bed. I waited since April for help before writing this review. I never do this. But theyve left me no choice not responding or assisting with any of these issues. I've been here since they opened day one so for 3 years & cant be sure but I had no issues when the old manager Sabrina was here but since Anthony took over its been non-stop back to back problems. Sure the location is great but is it worth the cost of missing packages, bug infestations, mold, late fees, just no communication... idk that's up to you I guess. If you have any tips on how to GET ME OUT OF HERE please share...

Warning for potential residents. All higher floors are experiencing very disturbing noise coming from night clubs. No sleeping Friday - Sunday. Building management is not able to solve the problem. Do not get trapped.

Honest Opinion: Not Worth the Money UPDATE: I decided to express my honest opinion about this building, Overall, this building has its merits but ultimately falls short when compared to alternatives, particularly due to issues with management and recent changes. When we moved in, the lobby featured a beautiful sitting area with a pleasant view. Unfortunately, management removed all the furniture and replaced it with lockers, transforming the space into an industrial zone (see attached pictures). They also tinted the windows, making it difficult to see outside and creating awkward encounters when opening the door due to poor visibility. Additionally, the area outside the building is often littered with visible dog urine stains on the asphalt and benches, the smell is overwhelmingly unpleasant, which is far from welcoming. I must highlight issues with management, specifically Anthony, who has been disrespectful and unprofessional. In contrast, Corey has always been helpful and conducted himself professionally. On a positive note, the apartment unit itself is amazing, and we have had no problems with it. The pool is also consistently clean. Original: We've lived at The District for nearly two years and have always paid our rent on time, which is about $4000. Today, Stephanie called me at 7pm and was extremely rude, panicking about a declined payment due to insufficient funds. I explained that this can happen if there are pending transactions, and I'm not even sure how it occurred. She kept insisting that if this happens again, we will no longer be able to pay using the portal. Additionally, they added a $40 fee for insufficient funds plus $150 late charge and this is is the first time we hear about this. I understand if this is in the lease we signed, but treating us so poorly when we've never been late with our rent is completely unprofessional. This experience has been very disappointing given our otherwise positive history here.

Be prepared to lose your security (reservation) deposit if you don't have sufficient proof of income. This is exactly what happened with my friend who came to the US recently. She applied with the District at Flagler village in Ft. Lauderdale. Their Watson Florida Rental Application Criteria & Procedures is very one sided protecting the LandLord, unclear and disturbing. The big font says: The application fee is $75 per adult person 18 years of age or older. PLEASE NOTE APPLICATION FEES ARE "NON-REFUNDABLE". It is completely fine to lose your application fee for the screening, background check etc (By the way, they charge you $100 not $75 as stated in the application...) Be cautious!! In the last paragraph 6 in SMALL font says that APPLICATION - EARLY TERMINATION: If the applicant has submitted the security deposit and signed the lease, he may terminate the lease by 1) giving a written notice to the Property Manager, and 2) if the termination is within 14 days of the lease signing, the applicant must give an amount of money equivalent to the security deposit to the Landlord ! WHY IS IT NOT CLEARLY STATED IN A VISIBLE PLACE? The placement of this clause is strategic to ensure it's easily missed when reviewing. The Watson application doesn't say anything regarding if the prospective applicant does not get approved because he or she for instance is from another country and does not have sufficient proof of income. There is nothing mentioned about LOSING YOUR DEPOSIT OF $1000 if you can not provide the documents they require. Agent Estefani was very sweet showing the properties, explaining the procedures for the application and getting to our emails in the timely manner. Nothing mentioned or pointing out regarding the possibility of deposit throughout our many correspondences! They intentionally disquisition this verbiage to collect money from innocent applicants who want to live on their property. Few days after submitting an online application, I reached Estefani and stated that my friend can not submit required paperwork and wants her deposit back. The answer was short : No, we are not giving it back. After transferring to manager Sabrina, the same reply NO, you already signed the lease!!! Yes, the lease was signed but the application was never approved!. Watson, how do your procedures and rules withhold a deposit if a person was not approved in order to move-in in the first place?! Of course there was a written notice to the manager via email requesting the return of deposit back.. I am not surprised there was no response. SILENCE! They understood the person is from another country with limited English, and could not afford an attorney to fight $1000. Easy money, right? Finally this nonsense was escalated to the Corporate Office. Another few weeks went by with their decision to return the deposit back to whom it belongs by law. The district at Flagler Village looks like a fine place to live. But their application procedures and taking your money are not. Be careful!

This apartment is quite telling based on some people that live there, and let us not forget the leasing office management team. On my way there, I was looking for the leasing office but did not know where to go. I spotted some tenants exiting through the back entrance and assumed it was the main door. Downtown flats typically include a telephone box at the entryway where you can contact the leasing office to gain access to the complex. When I ask the renters who are outdoors with their pets seeking help, none of them bother to aid me, nor do they look my way while talking. An older adult couple crossed the street so quickly that it appeared I intended to cause harm. When I eventually arrived at the office, there was a gentleman sitting at the table, as well as a lady caring for a couple with a child. I was waiting for my turn, smiling and excited to talk to one of them after they were finished, despite the racist gaze and criticism from outside. When the gentleman noticed me and asked, "How may I help you?" I replied, "I'm looking for a 1 and 1. Do you have anyone coming soon?" He reacted dismissively, as if I couldn't afford to stay here. His reaction was chilly and irritated, claiming that the next one would be available within the following 60 days. "Excellent; I'm planning to move in around May or June," I replied. He sighed and said, "You can check online for any information." I felt out of place, so before I left, I politely said, "May I please have your business card?" Once again, he assessed my situation and added, "You can check up online for any information because there are only 2/2 available at the moment," but in a more annoyed tone. Smiling in disbelief finally acknowledged that, as a woman with a dark complexion, I was a racial judge. Mind you, I'm a computer scientist studying software engineering. Sadly, I admit that I felt shamed, embarrassed, let along teary trying to figure out where I went wrong.

Update: it WAS a great bldg until another property management company took over. Really bad. The phones make it impossible to reach a human being in the building. I get routed to Denver. Then Key a west. It matters. They kept my deposit refund for a month, with nothing bug excuses. (1) It will be cut next pay period. (2) I will contact you once it arrives. (3) I was out of the office. (4) The accounting office misunderstood. (5) It will be sent via Fedex. Still - no check. It took 7 weeks to get my deposit back. The manager is terrible and the staff are all rude. Not once did anyone apologize for the inconvenience of having to wait for so long to get my money back. There are many dog owners who shouldn't be allowed to have pets. They are aggressive and if you say anything about it to them the owner gets aggressive and threatening. Move elsewhere. They don't care about your safety.

STAY AWAY! The building is nice and clean with decent amenities. They also have a great person called Corey who was always helpful and welcoming. It is just a shame that they have such an ignorant and rude manager (Sabrina). Sabrina could possibly be the worst person you'd want to have as a manager where you are leasing. No idea how the property owners hired such a person who has 0 regard for the residents and lacks any sort of customer service. I had my car broken into on my 2nd day in the building. This is because they didn't have a parking spot for me so they had me park in the visitor spots on the first floor of the building. Then I learn that there were at least 3 other car break-ins before me. You'd think they would do something to better protect and serve their residents. But like Sabrina, nothing but disregard and carelessness shown. She even didn't apologize once for what happened. She enjoys having the last word every single time. On multiple occasions, I sought Sabrina's help on this matter and I got nothing in return... only a rude, miserable person who just wants to pass her time and go home. Possibly the worst example you want to set for all the other employees by having this lady as manager. I hope the property owners see this and take action but Im sure its gonna pass under the radar and Ill get some templated response. Anyways, at least this will help potential residents to think twice before leasing here because all they are getting is a rude manager and probably their stuff will get stolen again because they have yet to come up with any resolutions.

If you like being inconvenienced and talked to like you mean nothing by management, sleepless nights and 0 parking spaces, then you'll love it here. For starters, the parking situation is downright awful. We are a two person household where we both go to work, have responsibilities and ultimately, need transportation. Something that was not conveyed to us when we began the leasing process was the fact that it was only one car per unit, and it's not included in the lease price, it's a separate charge of $100 per month to park in a garage where I already pay the rent. We decided to look past it because at the time management (when Sabrina was there) had been really nothing but nice to us. Unfortunately one of us had to forfeit our transportation, but it was what it was. Another reason for my one star is because of the many sleepless night I've had since living here. The outside noise is insane. Fights happen constantly from the bars outside, loud laughter, music from the clubs around us. I have no problem with this happening on a weekend, but when this happens on weekdays and I'm having to wake up at 5:30am, I don't like just getting to bed at 2am when everything *kinda* quiets down. When it comes to management, I'm appalled. Since they have had a change in management the place has definitely gone way downhill. Anthony, the new property manager, is pretty disrespectful to the residents. I myself have had an encounter with Anthony where I was going to express my concerns about an issue, and midway through the conversation, he just stops looking at me and begins doing other things, when he gave me an answer, it ended up being a lie. I finally just walked out of the room. All in all, this place isn't worth the money and I wish we stayed at our previous building, or looked at others. I most certainly will NOT be recommending this building to anyone, especially if Anthony is still the manager. Residents want to be treated with respect and clearly he's not going to.

The apartments are cool and spacious but I decided to look elsewhere because these people devised a way to match their pricing to more upscale and better located buildings like those situated in downtown and las olas by charging absurd amounts for parking. So their policy is that they charge $100 for the first car, which is most places you don't have to pay because your apartment usually comes with an assigned spot at no charge. Now, if you are like me and have a second car (most couples own two vehicles) you have to rent out a "one-car garage" they have built within their garage for the outrageous sum of $400 per month! That already increases your rent by $500 a month. Bringing an apartment that costs $3000 a month to $3500. For that money you can live in a place like the Registry, Las Olas Walk, Laureat which are more upscale, with nice views and steps from las olas. This property sure works for people who don't drive or those who don't mind paying $100 for the first car, but for anyone with two vehicles it is not worth the money. With $500 you would pay for parking you can go to a dealership and get you a brand new car lease.

Not a pleasant experience

The amenities are very nice and topically so are the units. HOWEVER, the units are extremely overpriced and what you see if never what you will end up paying. You will continued to see additional and undisclosed fees. I moved out months before the end of my lease and was charged phantom fees such as false utilities charges and vacancy fees. Additionally, I requested to complete a walk through when returning the unit as I had the apartment professionally cleaned and the apartment was returned as found. I was told there was no need and that I would receive my full deposit back, which was not true. I was charged cleaning and damage fees- neither of which was accompanied by any rationale. Another complaint I have was parking. You'd think being located away from downtown, surrounded by parking lots and paying $3k for a 1 bedroom would included free parking... they charge $100 per month and have no guest parking. I was also given parking on the 6th floor which takes a good 10 minutes to get to. I'd recommend anyone looking to rent here, reconsider.

This building is absolutely horrible! Good luck to anyone moving in here, I would not recommend it! This is supposed to be a new building, which used to be called Modera, but it already changed to the district (good move on Modera) because this building will fall apart at some point. During our stay here, we dealt with mold and leaking everywhere on our floor. The staff does not fix the root of the issues and the leaking happens every time there is a storm. Also, everything was done cheap (cabinets do not stay together well). With all of that, they are increasing prices! I would never recommend this place to anyone.

THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX HAS MOLD GROWING IN THE WALLS, VISITED MY FRIENDS APARTMENT ONCE AND BROKE OUT IN HIVES- TWO WEEKS LATER MOLD WAS ALL OVER HER CLOSET. MAINTENANCE TRIED TELLING HER IT WAS BECAUSE HER THERMOSTAT WAS TOO HIGH- IT WAS AT 71

Terrible management. Impossible to reach via telephone calls are redirected to Denver. Manager is a bully. Still waiting on my deposit refund over a month after I moved out. A bunch of excuses from their mismanagement and ineptitude.

If you want to sleep at night this may be the worst building to move into! I do not have a problem with the staff here or the amenities (although the new package system is odd, you gotta pay to receive your packages...sort of) I do not have a problem with my neighbors...which is mostly "fresh out of college kids" "young adults" I think the staff does their best. However, My husband and I terminated our lease early due to noise (partying/music/disco lights) pouring through our bedroom window on the 12th floor from business near by on the west side of building 3-5 nights a week EVERY WEEK! The building tried to "negotiate" with the businesses around...nothing improved. We called the police on some of the clubs around to get them to turn down the noise, the City's noise ordinance only cares about measurements made from the ground floor...not the upper levels... which can be vastly different as buildings on the ground can block sound waves but for upper levels nothing blocks these sound waves. Anyway we terminated the lease on the basis that we quite literally could not sleep and The District wants us to PAY UP 2 months worth of rent ( Which I believe I paid) and has kept our deposit. My husband and I believe our reason for termination is valid and we refuse to compensate them. They failed to provide a dwelling for us. What else reason do people need a home for other than a good night's sleep.

The grills in this building have been out of order for a month now, and unfortunately, the management team seems unresponsive to this issue. It's disappointing that we're paying for amenities that we can't fully use due to their malfunction. The rent is overpriced, you can find better place for this money...

BUYER BEWARE!!!!. USED CAR DEALER!!!! 3 Managment changes in 27 months Me and the wife moved into Modera which is now known as The District in Feb22. Signed 15-month lease...... Once the lease renewal came up in May23. New lease was offered with a $400+ increase. We negotiated it down to $250 for another 12 months. We just did not want to move again so soon. Once the lease renewal came up in May24. Another attempted increase by The District. We declined and countered to go back to our original rate in Feb22 as the market had changed. Mangement declined. we put in our 60 day notice. USED CAR DEALER. The District then listed our unit for $150 less than what we were offered on lease renewal. WOW WTH!! Bottom line..... They suck you in with decent rent price than jack you up on renewal. Very pour business practice... Especially for a tenant who made their rent payment on time for 27 months. BUYER BEWARE- On top of rent you will pay an additional $250 in building fee's. Pro- Newer Building Decent location Amenities Cons- Cheap appliances Paying for building electricity cost on top of your own apartment Hwy noise level(We were on 19th floor) Bar /club noise level- 3-4am closing Pet owners(consistent animal pee in elevator/ and tenants' entrance) Car broke into on gated 5th level parking( No video to provide to police) Constant tenant marijuana issue unresolved by management We ended up moving 2 blocks away to Solmar on 6th and have 200 more sqft for $600 less per month....

Prices went up super quick. Where are the amenities?! One conference room with low ceilings and a small pool area? Gym is small too. Was very excited to tour, was very upset at the lack of amenities and space for the price. Parking is a concern too. Much better places near by for the price

Gross people to match a gross building! What's good - Units are aesthetically pleasing - Walking distance to bars/restaurants What's bad - Feels like you're living in a college town complex? - Deliveries stolen from outside my apartment door despite the entire building requiring access codes (gross people) - Dog pee is constantly covering the carpets, walkways in front the elevators, and stairs entering the building - Fees for pretty much anything they could think up - not only do you pay your own FPL bill but you help pay the building's too! Pet rent is also double what similar complexes charge. - Mail system is a disaster - I receive 3-6 packages for random people in the building weekly but if I don't pick them up I get charged or have to waste my time with the locker service customer service line multiple times a week - Parking is an absolute nightmare - no they won't have enough garage parking available for the building. Edit: Just spent 30 minutes trying to park on.a Monday at 11pm Cannot wait to get out of Flagler and far away from this building. Please take into account that 90% of their positive reviews are about tours and moving into the complex day 1. The other 10% that have actually lived here and like it are most likely coming from 22 year olds living with 3 roommates. Edit: Within 1 year they're already trying to charge $400 more a month for my unit! Please save yourself if you're a working professional trying to find a peaceful place to live. This place is bordering on a scam and an absolute nightmare to deal with on a daily basis.

Nice view in a bad crime infested area

Excited to be a part of this neighborhood! Everyone in this building is so friendly! Sabrina helped us get everything together so smoothly! Very impressed with their professionalism. Couldn't be happier with our decision about Flagler Village! Thanks a lot Samantha *Ik Ik it's Sabrina. Inside joke. My review was a 5 star. Till our lease was up and we had to deal with the new property manager Anthony. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone simply on how he responded to our situation and then the lack of response from his upper management. It's too bad. This place was great when we moved in. Physically it's decent that's why it gets the 3 stars but the staff now is "eh" good luck if you're considering.

Cool looking place. If only someone would answer my calls and lease inquiry on Zillow so that I could actually live here...

I've lived here for two years now. Expect the rent to go up $300 every year when you renew your lease. Overall the apartment is okay. Don't expect to ever have guests over unless they are okay with paying for parking. And don't have more than one car per unit because they expect you to pay outrageous prices for another spot or park outside in a paid lot. The parking here is the worst part by far and that's why I gave it 3 stars. I'm moving out in a few months and figured I'd share my experiences here. Overall just an okay building.
