Legacy at Crystal Lake

Only giving it a star because you can’t give 0. Wish I would have read these reviews before moving in here… after reading them now I see others had very similar experiences as I did at this joke of an apartment. Somehow I managed to live here for almost 2 years. Trash is left everywhere on the lawns outside (especially behind he buildings) and in the breezeways, the front staff need a serious lesson in customer service they are rude and not helpful, would have to call multiple times to get maintenance to come fix things. which were constantly breaking (AC, washer dryer, etc) loud college neighbors which the paper thin walls didn’t help cancel out. The property itself is not kept up. The apartments are considered luxury and that is the biggest false advertising I’ve ever seen. There is NOTHING luxury about these overpriced apartments. And trust me you won’t get your deposit back, they will find every and any reason to charge you. You will have to park a mile away if you get home after 8/​9pm which is such an inconvenience. Not to mention dangerous, multiple times there were break ins to apartments and cars while I was there. I highly recommend you do more research on other apartments or a house instead of renting from these apartments.

Where to begin… Loud stupid riddle students, who speed and run stop signs. If you come home after 10pm good luck finding a parking spot anywhere near your building, mainly because there are more people living in an apartment then Is on the lease. For example a three bedroom place has 5 – 6 people living in it to save money, I get why, but that takes up more parking spots then there is allotted for the complex. Also scooters taking up a whole spot… There should be designated parking for them. I’ve complained to the office about it and they keep saying we know what is causing the issue and were in the process of finding out who isn’t supposed to be living in each apartment. I’ve been here 8 months now and nothing has changed. There is only one trash compactor for he entire complex, and it’s at the very front, so you have to put your trash in your car and drive to it… how does that make sense? Most of the time it’s to full to put anything else in and its broken at least once a month. Not to mention paying almost 1k for a one bedroom without a view of the lake, there are much nicer and cheaper places to rent in the area. Don’t come here, you’ll regret it.

This place is a joke! I never figured out what was «luxury» about this place. We lived in a small one bedroom and our electric bill was in the 200s! Every month! Constant issues with the HVAC and every time we called maintenance we were told there was nothing wrong. Since then, we relocated to a 2 bedroom house and our electric bill is half what it used to be.
One night, I was standing outside and saw some kids smoking joints and urinating outside our house…
I could go on and on about my unpleasant experience here but just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere! Shithole at its finest. $$$$$$

The only reason I’m giving it two stars is because my view is decent. I moved in to rotten vegetables from the last tenant. Okay. Maybe a slight overlook. The trash compactor in the front is the dumbest idea. You have to put garbage in your car. The management is horrible. College kids slamming doors and yelling all night (I’m 27, and I think it’s bad). Speeding through the complex. Their response? Put over a dozen useless stop signs up after over a year of complaints, like speed bumps wouldn’t solve the problem. I’ve lived here for a while, and cannot wait to move out of this overpriced complex at the end of the month.

I lived here for nearly 4 years while going to college at Embry-​Riddle, and my only real complaint is that the noise from the breezeways can come into the apartment when people are loud outside. I don’t usually hear people in adjacent apartments, though. The maintenance staff has been responsive and friendly the few times that I have asked for something to be done in the apartment, and I have never had any problems (with lack of security, poor management, unruly neighbors, etc.) during my stay here. Having seen a few other apartment complexes in the area, this is one of the nicer places to stay in the Daytona Beach/​Port Orange area.

Legacy at crystal lake is a mediocre apartment complex that advertises as a luxury apartment complex. I lived their for two years and have had a drunk resident walk into my apartment and into my bedroom at 1:30 AM and management made little to no attempt to reprimand the resident. I had my car keyed across every single panel and management told me their is nothing they can do. Legacy has to regard for who they allow to lives there. In my opinion I would mush rather move to Hawthorne Village and pay extra then live in that scum bag complex.
