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
Official materials list outdoor car and golf-cart parking, garages, reserved spaces, and storage as optional and subject to availability; some options carry an additional fee. Confirm the assigned location, guest rules, golf-cart charging, and monthly price before signing.
Recurring fees
The official July 2026 cost illustration listed a $204 monthly amenity fee, approximately $75 for electric, $48 for water and sewer, $11 for trash, and $60 for Spectrum television and internet, totaling about $398 or more beyond base rent; usage and pricing can change.
Application fees
$75 application fee was publicly listed at review time.
Deposit
A refundable $2,000 security deposit was publicly listed, subject to screening and lease terms.
Utilities
Electricity and water/sewer are separate from base rent; the official cost illustration also lists trash and a Spectrum television/internet package. Ask which amounts are fixed, usage-based, or allocated.
Pet details
Cats and dogs were publicly listed as accepted with a $300 pet fee and $25 monthly pet rent per animal at review time; breed or other restrictions may apply and should be confirmed.
Transit & commute
The principal mobility advantage is direct walking and golf-cart access to Brownwood Paddock Square, nearby recreation, dining, and shopping. Renters who drive should test their route and inspect the exact assigned parking location.
Noise context
Recent resident feedback often describes the apartments as quiet, but the property sits next to a town square with nightly entertainment. Tour the exact building in the evening and compare square-facing, pool-facing, parking-facing, and interior locations.
Flood & storm notes
Community-specific flood and hurricane procedures were not located in the reviewed public materials. Ask management for the building's evacuation zone, backup-power provisions, impact protection, golf-cart and vehicle storage rules, and post-storm communication plan.
Unit features
in-home washer and dryer; stainless-steel appliances; granite countertops; shaker-style cabinets; smart thermostat; patio or balcony; keyless building access; accessible layouts available
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.

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.
