Grandmarc Tallahassee

I live in larger 2B2B unit of GrandMarc. I chose larger unit to have more space. I can’t deny it’s larger than regular 2B2B. But it definitely not worth paying extra. The shape of the room is strange (it’s a pentagon shaped room). They don’t have any model, or picture for these units (just unit plan) so you cannot understand the truth until you sign everything.
They show you a brand new model room for classic 2B2B and it is totally different. When I first moved to my unit I shocked how dirty the living room and kitchen, and the couches were really old and heavily used. I complained about it and they told me that since my roommate was living there for long time, they cannot do anything about it. So I guess, their responsibility is just cleaning to the bedroom. I told them I didn’t want to live in this unit. They told me that there wasn’t any available unit except this one. I told okay and cleaned everything myself.
Even though all this disappointments, I wasn’t planning write any negative review here until today. It’s been 6 months I’ve moved here and first day I reported the broken curtain in the living room. After that, at least 3 times, me and my roommate told this problem to staff but still nothing has changed. It made me really upset. I am just waiting my lease to finish.
I was thinking to give one star, but the facilities of the complex and the nice people in the leasing office deserve extra star.

Having previously lived here for a long time, I can safely say the best thing about this place is it’s location and proximity to campus (that is if being next to a liquor store where homeless people sleep on the street is your idea of a good time.) I understand they cannot control this issue, but the complex does not even have private or nighttime security despite being in the upper price bracket of comparable communities that have this feature. While I am on the topic of security, cars in the garage have been subject to vandalism with no perpetrator ever caught, probably due to the zero security cameras that are in the garage. Parking has always been a nightmare. I have had visitors towed from here despite having a parking pass. The profit motivated Asset Campus Housing sold the bottom half of the first-floor parking lot to a hotel that is still not open, robbing paying Grand Marc residents parking for their visitors. The apartment and amenities themselves are fine; however, they show signs of dating and are lacking compared to other communities in this price range. When I moved in, the carpet was severely damaged and dirty compared to my roommates in the adjacent room, not to mention the AC was noticeably 5-10 degrees warmer than what the thermostat displayed. Both of those issues remained unfixed during the duration of my lease despite numerous maintenance requests. For the most part, the staff was friendly and accommodating, however some of the senior management acted very unprofessional and rude when I asked to get parking passes and packages (despite this being their primary duties throughout the day.) It even looks like one of these staff members left a 5 star review for Grand Marc, interesting! All in all, if you want to spend $700+ for an apartment, I suggest you do a comparison of similar properties.

Grandmarc is very unorganized and condescending. I tried to get out of my lease because of financial problems, and they were continually condescending and confusing about how I could get out of my lease. Eventually I got a straight answer and they said that my roommate couldn't take over my lease for the coming year even though he hadn't resigned. It doesn't make sense and the staff were giving me conflicting answers and when I eventually got an answer it was "either you find someone else on your own time to take over your lease or you're screwed and have to pay us anyway" even though I can't. Absolutely ridiculous.

While I have been living here for the for the past few months I have had an awesome time. The location is perfect, and the price is pretty good. The building is really clean, and security is much better than most buildings in the area. The staff is very friendly, and always incredibly helpful. They go above and beyond to help their residents. Special thanks to Lamontae, as well as all the front desk and maintenance staff, for all the help during move in.

Bathrooms had horrible ventilation which caused nasty mold buildup. My mistake was that I did not carefully fill out the form in which you state the condition of the apartment upon move-in. Grandmarc will take full advantage of this and charge you a boatload of money upon move-out. My two roommates and I were charged close to $1000 for "damages" that I probably could have fixed with an afternoon of work and a trip to Home Depot. P. S. If you live on the bottom floor facing frenchtown like me, your gonna want to beware of the sketchy Tallahassee hoodlums peeking through your blinds.

Extremely disappointed with my time at Grandmarc. The entire year felt like living in a cave/prison/motel 6. After leaving, my roommates and I were nailed with hefty charges including the replacement of the couch. This couch was in good condition, however it appears that this company likes to replace and update their furniture on the dime of past tenants. The location is decent for walking to class but far away from the rest of college life and gets old quick.

I moved here two weeks age. So far I like my experience living at GrandMarc Tallahassee. The apartment is new, safe, and good location. I can walk to campus. The staff are helpful.

So far it has been amazing and very clean living here. However, the printer is broken and the hot tub is very dirty. I also had a small problem when moving in, the leasing manager switched the room I was previously assigned to in the unit for no other reason than the other girl said she wanted that room even though it was already assigned to me and no one told me until I moved in.

An amazing place to live! Staff is super friendly and helpful. They have answered all of my questions and maintenance requests are fulfilled quickly. Love the office people - they always have something fun going on and are great people to talk to when you’re just hanging around.

Great place to live! The neighborhood is relatively quiet and management moves mountains to ensure each resident is happy.

Straight crooks.
Just did the same to me!

For parents of FSU students. Stay away from this place. They charged my son for carpet replacement after he moved out which was debatable but understandable as the carpet was trashed when we moved him in. We should have required them to replace it when he first moved in, our fault. The bill was sent certified mail to his new address before he moved in resulting in a return to sender. After 1 year they send it to collections on my (the guarantor) credit. They have my address and phone number and could have simply called and settled. Now I have to clear a stupid $175 collection record from my credit report. Will not recommend Grandmarc.

It's a very okay place to live. Maintenance is really quick with small fixes, but jobs with the washer or other larger fixes can take weeks. The units definitely have their issues. All floors in living room/kitchen are laminate so you can hear EVERYONE above you walking around. The walls are paper thin, the carpets are old and worn. The windows are extremely thin, so you wake up with a puddle on your windowsill when it gets cold out. Mold grows everywhere and very quickly because of how moist the apartments get. Mold around the windows, mold around the AC unit, mold in the corners on walls. We clean as much as we can, but it grows back very quickly. Not a safe location, but a super easy walk to campus (right across Tennessee St). Lots of homeless people walking around outside, and I have been approached for money inside the parking garage (5th floor!). Furniture is generally good, and the kitchen is nice although very small and does not come with a pantry. Definitely has its pros and cons, but I personally would not live here again. If this complex cost $500 a month then sure, but with current leasing rates at $700 would 100000% not recommend.

Haven't moved in yet, however the place looked impeccable and the staff was really helpful. The gym was very big and the parking lot and other amenities are great.

Best apartment I’ve ever had in my three years as a student here in Tallahassee. I wish I had never moved.

The parking garage looks secure but it does not have security cameras or security. My car was stolen from my parking spot.
