The nitty-gritty

These details come from public property materials and listings available at research time. Fees, parking rules and utility packages can change, so request the complete lease-cost sheet before applying.

Parking
Surface parking is available, but public listings do not present a consistent current fee schedule and some residents report parking pressure.
Recurring fees
Public sources indicate additional required services may apply, including valet trash; obtain a complete current fee sheet before applying.
Application fees
$125 per applicant was publicly listed in July 2026.
Utilities
Public apartment listings state that utilities are not included in base rent.
Pet details
Cats and dogs are accepted. Public listings showed monthly pet rent of $25, but one-time charges, animal limits, and restrictions should be confirmed directly.
Management company
Carroll Management Group LLC / ARIUM Living
Transit & commute
The property is near Coconut Creek Parkway, State Road 7, Florida's Turnpike, Broward College North Campus, and several shopping centers; daily travel remains primarily car-oriented.
Noise context
Resident feedback includes repeated reports of sound transfer through floors and walls, so the exact building and floor should be evaluated during a tour.
Unit features
In-unit washer and dryer; Private patio or balcony; Ceiling fans; Walk-in closets; Stainless-steel appliances in select homes; Quartz countertops in select homes; Wood-style flooring in select homes
Research transparency

We cross-check property information and summarize recurring public resident feedback. A missing detail means we could not verify it reliably—not that the fee, rule or feature does not exist.

Questions to ask when you tour ARIUM Coconut Creek

Use these questions to verify current conditions and investigate the trade-offs surfaced by public resident feedback.

  • What is the exact monthly total after every mandatory fee, utility package and service charge?
  • Can I see the specific available unit—not only the model—and receive the quoted price in writing?
  • How does guest parking work, and what rules can lead to towing?
  • Who handles after-hours maintenance emergencies, and what response time is promised in the lease?
  • Which units are least exposed to road, rail, aircraft, amenity or nightlife noise?
  • How often has the access gate or controlled-entry system been unavailable during the past year?
  • Where are packages stored, what happens after hours, and are locker or concierge fees mandatory?
  • Which advertised amenities are currently open, what are their hours, and is access included in base rent?
About these pros & cons How we build these pages: we read publicly available resident reviews (Google, ApartmentRatings, Yelp, Reddit and similar) for each community and summarize the recurring themes in our own words. We don't copy review text, we don't display star ratings we didn't compute, and no complex has paid to appear or to have anything removed. Cons reflect what residents report — experiences vary. Rent ranges come from public listings and change often; always confirm current pricing, fees and policies with the property directly.
