Perry Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
1 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Perry is a small forestry- and manufacturing-driven county seat in the Big Bend region of North Florida, serving as the hub of Taylor County. Its rental market has historically been dominated by single-family houses and older small-scale rentals, with essentially no purpose-built apartment communities until recently.
As of mid-2026, Perry's newest apartment community prices 1-bedroom units from about $1,140/month up to roughly $1,680/month for 3-bedroom units, while older single-family houses in town typically rent in the $1,200-$1,700/month range.

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.
