The Morrison

If you're considering living here, be warned: the fire alarm goes off at all hours of the night and day (2 am, 3 am, 4:30 am, 8 am, 7 pm) blaring at a volume that can be harmful to children and pets. This issue has persisted without explanation for nearly two years. This year alone the alarm has gone off over 10 times causing everyone in the building a migraine. Despite being advertised as a luxury apartment, the reality falls far short. We will not be resigning…

We weren’t able to visit Tampa and look at apartments prior to moving, so I understand how important reviews are. Here is my honest review of The Morrison. Pros: - Can’t beat the location (10 min walk to bayshore and Hyde park village) - Our apartment faces beautiful sunsets every night - Sauna is a nice amenity - Pool with a lot of lounge chairs and cabanas - Community event where we met lots of friends - Valet trash service - Under 50 units - Nice, friendly and mature tenants - Maintenance and on call team are extremely helpful and come right away if there is an issue. - emergency hotline to call if needed. - Kristie is very responsive and helpful. (Management has changed 3 times while here. Kristie is no longer here) - Pool area is clean with two grills. - huge floor to ceiling windows in living room making the apartment filled with light -Kristie always looking to improve the complex. We now have free pilates on the weekends Cons: - walls are thin. Neighbor wakes us up every night with his snoring. - if you face Green Lemon, the loud music will keep you up every single night Monday-Sunday. Awful bass noise. - Units have a roach issue in the summer (they come and go with careful mediation and constant spraying. Common for Florida) - The apartment hallways are outside - Insanely LOUD fire alarms go off multiple times a month. They go on and on for a half hour before the fire department arrives. It is unnecessarily loud I feel awful for the pets. Goes off at all hours (currently going off at midnight and 4:30 am despite all businesses being closed) - Red centipedes in outside hallways and indoor clubhouse/gym (thankfully they are harmless and go away in winter) - Neighbors had all their appliances break - Builder grade materials (ex: kitchen cabinets aren’t real wood. Doors are paper thin). Expensive for the quality - Living near the gym causes a lot of noise. We’re woken up from deadlifts (weights slamming floor) and people running on treadmill Overall, I would definitely recommend living here to someone else, but would not consider it a “luxury” apartment. You can’t beat the location!

We have lived here for two years and overall liked it however our biggest complaint is the fire alarm. It goes off in the middle of the night multiple times in one night and several times throughout the year. It’s disruptive to residents sleep and an extreme safety hazard - no one exits the building anymore because it happens so often no one knows if it is a real or false alarm. We have asked this to be addressed and we get the same response every time that they are “looking into it.” I appreciate that but with how often this occurs it needs to be escalated. Be warned.
