Fleming Island Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
2 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Fleming Island is a fast-growing unincorporated community in Clay County, just south of Orange Park along the St. Johns River, known more for its master-planned single-family neighborhoods than apartment living. Purpose-built apartment communities are limited to a couple of large complexes clustered near Village Square and the Fleming Island Town Center commercial hub.
Apartment rents in Fleming Island run from roughly $1,400 for older one-bedrooms up to over $2,200 for newly built units, reflecting steady demand from Jacksonville-area commuters as of mid-2026.

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.
