Great Amenities but I might want to find a place that was a little more reasonable priced.
Older complex but well maintained. The trash compactor is always full and neighbors just dump their trash. There are also a lot of ducks that live here. They aren't aggressive but they do walk out in the road like they own the place and they nest in the parking spots and behind cars at night.
I am a college student and share a 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom with a roommate. This place is infested with palmetto bugs. Palmetto bugs love places with lots of trees and the name " Cypress Pointe" gives it away . I have been woken up to a fairly large roach crawling on my face before . At this time the pest control provided by the apts seems to be ineffective. I will say the maintenance staff is very friendly /helpful.
Update : I went back home for the summer and made a day trip to Tally . I called the office to ask if there was a chance I could complete my exit paperwork while in town. I was told only if my roommate was present . I went to the office to gain clarity and was told by an older black woman that she quote " told me already" which was followed by her making faces and a patronizing tone . Overall my experience with the office staff has been quite treacherous.
This place is good but it does have its issues... It allows pets (with a fee), has a small gym, a Landry mat, plus basketball and tennis court in close walking distance from many of the apartments. The members of the staff are very nice, but in certain situations they are not the best at keeping up with some maintenance issues. It also is in a couple of school districts, and during school there is a bus that picks the students up.
Pets are out of hand. Maintenance is behind. Lived here twice and been in this area for decades. Was once an A list complex. A little work and enforcement of basic rules could make it great again. Price good for area.
What I love:
Location
Swimming pools
Pet waste pick up stations
Nice and helpful office staff
Maintenance team has also gotten much better.
What needs work:
Time in which maintenance work orders are completed.
Security of complex.
Gym equipment needs to be replaced.
People who let their children run around unsupervised and they constantly cause mischief.
Cypress Pointe is terrible. Please do not ignore these Google reviews like I did before choosing to live here... The apartments are run-down and when you request maintenance work, the workers just mark it as done and never show up. When approached to the office, they just blame it on the resident.
DO NOT LIVE HERE.
Basically a joke. We've moved from unit to unit with issue after issue(from a roach infestation that the staff didn't foresee to kids siphoning car gas for their motorcycle). The last straw is our unit being filled with the smell of cigarette smoke from the unit next door. Nothing has been done and our issue isn't their concern.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE if I had realize it was going to take 6 months to get my dishwasher fixed that was BROKEN when I moved in I wouldnt of moved in.
Do not move here. While the location is nice, the apartments are run down and horribly maintained. Good luck getting anyone to fill a maintenance request or even answer the phone at the office. The office staff is laughable at best, they are completely unorganized and incredibly unhelpful...even with basic tasks. I cannot wait to move out of this community, it has been the worst rental experience of my life.
Since I've lived here, the fire alarms have gone off (or been pulled) in the middle of the night twice. Both times, my entire building had to wait outside in the dark for the fire department to come only to be told that there was nothing they could do to turn them off because there is no on-site maintenance worker and they could not contact any staff member. This is just one of many infuriating situations I have been subjected to due to the negligence of the staff at Cypress Pointe.
I lived here for 1 year and would happily renew if I wasn't moving away from Tallahassee. It's not a place with a bunch of bells and whistles, but it's well maintained, affordable, and located in a good area.
There are some bad reviews on here that left me shaking my head a little bit. I am going to miss living at Cypress Pointe and I think it's definitely worth checking out and seeing if it's right for you. Melissa is awesome and can get you in at a good price and will help take care of your needs :)
