Atlantic at East Delray

I have been holding this in for a long time because I did not want the negativity following me around while I lived there, but I am out and this needs to be said! Never in my life have I ever come across such rudeness and ignorance towards to the human race until I lived at the Vingins/Atlantic…and I worked at panera.
I am a full time employee, full time, student, basically in bed by 10 every night, and rent always paid on time. Basically the perfect tenant. Taking all this into consideration, I was given numerous threats of lease termination, fines, sassy voicemail’s, and constant negativity from the admin staff. (I would’ve hated to see how they acted towards a bad tenant.) The reasons you wonder…
Example 1: We were required to pay $ 35/​month for trash «valet» and the one and only time I used it, (which was before the «correct» time to place your trash out) they took a picture of it and fined me $ 50. I was to be evicted if I refused to pay the $ 50 even though I pulled out the lease and showed them evidence of never having awareness about or signing off on this «rule».
Example 2: All within the first year we were stalked daily by out next door neighbor and robbed in the middle of the night. Did anyone care? Nope. In fact, they didn’t even put a notice out about the robbers or ask any neighbors. They also didn’t do anything about our neighbor after multiple complaints to them about it. «No were not going to evict this psychopath for sitting at your door day and night and talking about being obsessed with you, but we are going to evict you for not paying your trash fee.» I seriously can’t even make this shit up.
Example 3: We were over billed on multiple occasions and it took me months*, I shit you not, months, to get the overages corrected. It also took many hours of my personal time to contact all the utility companies (because god forbid they do that) and prove* the incorrect charges. Even after most of the incorrect charges were verified, they still would not credit or refund them. Someone not knowing how to do something does not bother me, but someone purposefully not looking in to something because of laziness or just plain indifference, irritates the shit out of me. You would have thought that the admin staff was getting any extra scrapes of cash for themselves the way they pinched the penny’s over there. Like, «Hello?!» you’re a multi billion dollar apartment complex stealing $ 100 of water overage charges from a broke college student. Pathetic.
So after all these joyous occasions, I was still constantly blessed with the rudest office manager I have ever experienced and severe saltiness (because I stood up myself when they tried to scrape away at all my piggy bank change). I am so grateful that I never ever have to live or step foot in this place ever again and all I have to say is if you live there or are thinking about it… save yourself and GET OUT!

Not our best place to choose to live at all. The maintenance staff is fantastic but that’s as far as it goes. The inside sales staff on the other hand is horrible!
The new owners have destroyed the beauty this place use to have! Way to expensive for what they offer.
Also, Nashia who works in the office is s liar

AWFUL MANAGEMENT.
I have been living here since May 2015. I live with 2 other roommates. Our dryer caught on fire 4 days before Christmas! No smoke alarms went off, no fire alarms, no sprinklers, we slept through the whole thing. When we finally woke up we could barely breathe, our throats were hurting, and we couldn’t see because our eyes were watering so bad. Everything in the dryer turned to ashes, the walls were burned, and the entire apartment smelt of burning chemicals. (even our neighboring apartment said their place smells because of the incident). The maintenance team concluded the dryer motor over heated but there were «no flames» which I think is comical they can even say that from the looks of the dryer and our apartment especially with the flame marks on the walls. What did management do… ABSOLUTELY NOTHING besides giving us an $ 180 credit for one months rent which was basically a slap in the face. Everything smells of burning chemicals; all our furniture had to be thrown out, our clothes all had to be professionally cleaned, and they FINALLY deemed the place unlivable after it took them nearly a week and a half after the incident to come check out the apartment unit themselves. We broke our lease and moved New Years day. DO NOT LIVE HERE YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Beyond Overpriced and in a pretty sketchy neighborhood.
(One of my neighbors found a bullet casing in the parking lot… homeless people have been found sleeping in the parking lot)
The new management company is in way over their heads and plan on significantly raising the prices even more.

My reason for bad feedback is the management.
I lived at The Vinings for over two years. The one good thing about this place is the maintenance. Handyman runs to you for any little issue.
However, any time there has been a minimum problem to work with the office, it was a constant aggravation, time wasting and zero result — when not a bigger problem.
All the employees at the office, as well as the manager, are totally unhelpful and inflexible. They will always give you the «it’s our procedure» line, to let you there frustrated with a personal need, small or big it doesn’t matter, that they will punctually ignore. I am not in the least a difficult person. I am extremely polite and patient. But these people made me wish that I was the kind to punch in the face a couple of times.
I’m SO happy that I have moved.
If you are going to live at the Vinings, pray that you never have an issue or a simple request and you’ll have a good stay. If you do need any help, instead, I promise that you’ll regret choosing this community.

We have friends who recently moved to Delray and this is where they landed. The apartment complex seems to be well manicured and quite, they are dog friendly and I noticed a number of tenants walking their dogs. The apartment itself was well laid out and completely renovated prior to them moving in. the upstairs apartments have vaulted ceiling and open designs.
The amenities looked okay nice pool and patio area compete with some very nice grills which we used. A large lake and nice wooden bridge between the property. There was plenty of parking and its a short drive to the beach and plenty of restaurants within walking distances and a Starbucks within a stones throw. Over-​all it looks like a great place to start when moving into the area.

It was ok. Probably compared to other places, their maintenance is very good though it could be better. Unfortunately, we were given an apartment that was not updated unlike the pictures on their site. Also, like many apartment rental practices, they will raise your rent at least $ 50/​month every time you renew your lease. We only rented from here because we ran out of time looking for a place. We originally were looking to rent a house, townhouse, or condo but we quickly found out how biased and paranoid Florida rental home owners are. When they raised our rent $ 150/​month we decided it was worth paying movers to move us to a new place. Though they gave us $ 600 off the first two months of the new lease, it was still $ 150 more on our monthly bills and we would still save money even after hiring movers by getting a cheaper place. I had wondered at how often our neighbors moved in and out. Some were probably snowbirds but not everyone. I suspect they will upgrade our old apartment as they did our neighbors when they left. They were only willing to work with us and go back to the regular $ 50/​month raise when we let them know we were moving out.
The neighborhood: it was ok. There were plenty of complaints and notices about people stealing from cars and even porches, but we were not on the first floor and a sheriff lived nearby. The playground is useless. There were no swings, it was small, had sand, and was by where the ducks hung out and pooped. We were also far from the mailbox, pool, clubhouse, and gym.
Living at this place reminds me of staying at a hospital with doctors, nurses, other staff, family, and friends constantly bothering you and not letting you rest and sleep. Besides the appliances and plumbing breaking and flooding the apartment and the ants that raid your apartment through the porch for those with messy kids, They have periodic times where they will pound in doors because they need to check in filters (we got less and less the closer to when we left) and sprinklers (ours was painted over and never fixed). They also test their alarm systems periodically which was very loud and inconvenient for Those with little kids who need to sleep. When you need something fixed, you call the maintenance line which will take you to an operator that handles probably numerous properties around the US. Then they do a work order. They cannot tell you when someone will come and the maintenance may or may not come in if you are gone. You’ll get a notice if they did. You may or may not get a notice if they didn’t, and if you want them to cone back if they even did. you have to call and start the process again.
The apartment layout for a two bedroom was ok. We had a lot of square footage but it could have been better laid out so more closet space and storage could have been added.
Upside: they do most maintenance within the week and often the next day or two. Though we had mad problems with ants, I never saw a cockroach inside during our entire stay which is probably miraculous for Florida.
Overall, if you had no other choice, it was an ok place to live in.
