Our take
An older two-bedroom community of nearly 200 units on the Tampa side of the Temple Terrace border, positioned as one of the area's most affordable family options near USF and the Fowler Avenue corridor. Reviews credit an attentive maintenance and office team while flagging noise and shared-facility upkeep, making it a fit for budget-driven renters who prioritize service response over polish.

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.
