Citrus Meadows Apartments, Bradenton FL

We lived here for two years and enjoyed it. The neighborhood is mostly quiet, nicely tucked away, and we had good neighbors. The maintenance guys are great, timely, and reliable, and the office ladies are good and easy to communicate with.
Water, cable, and internet are included with the rent, which is a nice positive, and we liked the layout of our 2/1.

We gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 because I think it's a little too pricey for its location, getting through Bradenton city to get to and from work can be a nightmare, and there's no amenities other than water, cable, and internet. No in-unit washer/dryer hooks ups, no pool, no real parks for the kids to play on, no gym or rec center. I think other places offer more amenities and better locations for the same price, or a little more.

That being said, we really did enjoy our time living here.

We have lived here for a few months now and Citrus Meadows is a hidden gem! Tucked away from the busy street, the complex is quiet and relaxing. It’s close to everything including parks, fishing piers, grocery stores, shopping plazas, and the beach. The laundry room is always clean and tidy. Landscapers are here weekly maintaining the grass and have recently planted new plants. We needed maintenance and they came the same day. Tia, the property manager, is amazing and goes above and beyond to ensure move in processes are smooth and stress-free. She responded to my endless questions with knowledgeable answers about the property as well as the neighborhood. We love it here and highly recommend moving to the complex!

Been a tenant here for almost 5 years and things has gotten a lot better! It’s much more quiet than it used to be and TIA DAVIS is a great manager, very flexible and understanding!

Living in this complex was horrid. Terrible management, shady people.
Car got shot in a random event and had a tire slashed same night, and my neighbors also had their car vandalized.
Management did nothing and didn’t even care.
Let numerous broken down cars sit and take up parking spaces until people said something when they claim they watch for that. Don’t move here, there’s nicer places in the rental price that they’re asking for.

We lived there for almost a year. Apartments are nice inside (for the price) and maintenance is very helpful but we had a leak in our apartment from an upstairs unit and they barely did anything to repair the water damage - so I’m pretty sure there is/will be mold in that unit ceiling. When we moved out we hired a professional cleaner and were assured we would be receiving our security deposit. After almost 2 months (which is against FL law to wait so long) they finally gave it to us but made deductions for what they said was “preparing the unit for rental” - which is their responsibility not the previous tenants. I had my lawyer send them a letter which they still ignored. They are lucky I live in PA now and it’s not worth the hassle for me because otherwise I would 100% be taking them to small claims court. Stealing money just because they think they can get away with it. They also received double rent on my unit when I moved out early (my money and the new tenant’s money). Definitely sketchy management.
