The Waverly needs to either get better management or re-think their policies. My boyfriend & I live in a 2 bedroom apartment here that we own. We have been trying to get furniture delivered for our second bedroom. I just moved down from up north & had a week off before starting work, so we figured we’d have no problem reserving the elevators to move in the new bed we had just purchased. I called the management office Monday(since they aren’t open Saturday or Sunday) who told me the only day we could get the delivery was Wednesday afternoon. In addition to a $ 500 deposit in the form of a cashiers check, we were also require to pay a $ 200 fee which would pay for security guards while the delivery was happening. My boyfriend, whose lived here for 5 years, was shocked(this is new since Castle Management took over). When I called the furniture company back, they said they would need an all day window… they even offered to call the management company since the delivery would take about 20 minutes and one elevator trip. The waverly said no. Since we both work Monday-Friday, there’s no way we can get the delivery without taking a day off(which isn’t possible at the moment since I haven’t even started my job, ugh). I begged the office to try to work with us, but they refused. What a nightmare. Hopefully we’ll be able to work something out but their policies are too restrictive if you have a job. I can’t imagine what’s going to happen when we move out(if they’ll let us). That being said, our condo is beautiful, I love the location & the pool is fantastic. 4 stars for the building/location, 0 stars for their management… for an average of 2.

The Waverly is a large condominium and rental apartment complex located on the northeast corner of North Federal Highway and Broward. Most of the renters and owners are those who work downtown as it is one of those«If you lived here you’d already be home» type of places. It has plenty of amenities such as workout gyms, parking, a nice big lobby and a public nightclub/restaurant named«Posh.» Being a relatively new development, all of the living spaces are nicely decorated, the surrounding areas of the complex well-kept and immaculately clean. They have a full staff, front desk but if you wish to rent an apartment or buy a condo, such sales or rentals are not done through the Waverly but by independent realtors or real estate agents. I can’t really go four stars, which would indicate I’m a fan of the place, but for living accommodation no problem giving it Three Stars Plus. Though the signs state«The Waverly at Las Olas,» it’s really located several blocks north of Las Olas and to the best of my knowledge Las Olas is technically Fort Lauderdale itself, not even being one of the officially designated neighborhoods of Fort Lauderdale.
