Canal Point Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
2 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Canal Point is a small unincorporated farming community on the northeast shore of Lake Okeechobee in Palm Beach County, part of the Glades agricultural region built around sugarcane and winter vegetable production.
Census data shows the large majority of Canal Point residents rent rather than own, but the local market is made up almost entirely of small, older multi-family buildings under 50 units and single-family houses rather than any name-brand apartment community.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
