What residents like
- ✓Consistently strong reputation among a genuinely large review base for a student-oriented property, with residents frequently praising the rooftop pool deck and floor-to-ceiling windows
- ✓By-the-bed individual leasing means roommates don't share financial liability for each other's rent
- ✓Water, trash, sewer, and internet are bundled into rent, simplifying monthly budgeting
- ✓Brand-new 2023 high-rise construction just over a mile from FIU's main campus
Common complaints
- ✕A small but real minority of reviews are sharply negative, suggesting the experience isn't uniformly positive for every resident
- ✕Built and operated specifically for student living, so it's a poor fit for renters wanting a quieter, non-student community
- ✕Garage parking costs an extra $125/month on top of rent
Our take
Lapis is a 20-story, by-the-bed student housing tower a short walk from FIU, built in 2023 with a rooftop pool deck, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit laundry. It carries a notably strong reputation across a sizable number of reviews, though a handful of sharply negative reviews show the experience isn't perfect for everyone, and its student-housing model won't suit renters looking for a traditional, quieter community.

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.
