I have lived at Acasa Plantations at Pine Lake for almost 7 years now. I have rented apartments and houses all over town for the past 40 years, and Plantations has been one of the best places I've been in. Since I've lived here, we've had two management companies and both have provided excellent service and have invested in the property.
Over the past 2 years, the most recent management company has replaced the roofs on all 15 buildings and have steadily replaced aging HVAC and water-heating systems. The grounds are well-maintained and cleaned up promptly following heavy rains and storms. Drainage systems have been enhanced to help with flooding issues in some areas, and the pool and fitness center are promptly repaired when needed. The dumpster garbage and bulk-item trash are regularly cleaned up so that further issues (like smell, and insect and rodent problems) are avoided. The maintenance staff, two of whom live onsite, are friendly and address problems quickly and as efficiently as possible. They also perform preventive maintenance (quarterly inspections and routine maintenance like replacing air filters and outdoor lighting, as well as termite and pest control) to keep issues to a minimum. The complex also regularly has at least one law enforcement officer available who lives onsite.
Plantations at Pine Lake is very conveniently located to access all that northeast Tallahassee offers and has had no problems with unruly residents or crime.
I highly recommend this place!
