The Overlook Condominiums

I’m moving out and have been seeing bad reviews everywhere I look, so I just want to give my review of this place, I want to say I’ve lived here 3 years and have absolutely loved it. The maintenance guys are super cool and keep the whole neighborhood in great shape, I’ve never had problems with roaches or any bugs in general to be honest. If your looking for a place to rent I would definitely recommend the overlook!

I’ve been living at Overlook at Baymeadows for 4 years, and it has been a fantastic place to live. The location is incredibly convenient — walking distance to grocery stores and pharmacies, only 5 minutes from St. Johns Town Center, and about 10 minutes to the beach or Mayo Clinic. Everything you need is close by in every direction. The surrounding neighborhoods are very nice and well maintained, which makes the area feel safe and peaceful. The complex itself is always clean and quiet — the only sounds you really hear are birds from the preserves behind the buildings. The residents are friendly, there’s plenty of parking, and the views of the greenery and fountain are beautiful. Amenities like the pool, gym, and BBQ area make living here even more enjoyable. Overall, this community is absolutely worth it for the convenience, comfort, and quality of life it offers. Of course, every complex has its own problems, and this one is no exception. That said, any issues are usually resolved quickly and rarely affect daily life, so living here remains very pleasant.

I have been living here for 15 years and the past 4 years have been terrible. The HOA fee’s are way too high and increased by 32%. The previous HOA management was kicked out and given into private hands, who have been “managing” the property in their own ways. We as owners, had to pay a special assessment that costed $750,000 and nothing shows. They have been scamming us the entire time. Four years the fire sprinklers have not been checked and we pay for this, the pool, club and gym are not kept clean. At times renters bring their dogs to the pool and let them swim. The management when spoken to are rude and won’t listen to complaints. Gates have always an issue opening, hallways haven’t been cleaned in a good 4 years and when asked, the machine isn’t in function. The old management had strict rules they followed, such as, white curtains have to be on windows. Now it looks like a circus. Other tenants are also complaining about the rise of renters and drug use. Nobody controls them and at times you can find things laying around the property. People drive over the speed limit and don’t care if someone is walking. We don’t have a landscape company anymore and one person has to take care of the entire property, in which he only takes care of the first few buildings, but as you go further in, it becomes worse, but as time passes even the plants planted in the first units have been drying out. The maintenance guy is lazy and drives on his golf cart all day, practically doing nothing. The buildings also haven’t been properly washed and we have wasps nests all over. Renters walking their dogs don’t clean up after them, mainly because rules are not enforced anymore and are not given when they first move in. It’s a shame we lost the old HOA management due to a few people who want to put money in their own pockets. It’s Fraud and I hope they will be kicked out and dealt with.

Tim Robey was terrific… I had a leak in the shower piping behind a wall that drained water into a nearby closet. He figured out the issue right away. Explained it very well and fixed it pronto. Good communicator and pleasant customer service. Thanks David Gray for another job well done! ….Doug
