Four Lakes at

Four Lakes at Clearwater offers a mixed resident experience with strong points in location, amenities, and staff friendliness, but significant concerns around maintenance responsiveness, pest control, water intrusion, and communication. While many residents praise the quiet community, renovated units, and helpful office staff, a substantial portion report unresolved maintenance issues, mold and roach infestations, and difficulty reaching management. The property appears to deliver well for some residents but falls short on core service reliability for others.

Management responsiveness is highly inconsistent, with positive experiences centered on quick maintenance response and helpful staff contrasting sharply with frequent complaints about difficulty reaching the office by phone and delayed responses to maintenance requests. Communication breakdowns are the most common issue, with residents reporting multiple unanswered calls and voicemails, though some long-term residents praise specific staff members for going above and beyond. When management does engage, experiences range from professional and accommodating to dismissive of resident concerns.

Maintenance response times are inconsistent, with some residents reporting quick service while others experience delays of weeks to months for critical issues like roof leaks, water intrusion, and mold. Common problems include aging HVAC systems with leaks, plumbing failures, and pest control challenges. Work orders are sometimes marked complete without actual resolution, and communication barriers make it difficult to follow up on unresolved repairs.

Residents consistently praise the complex's amenities, including 24/7 gym access, pools, dog parks, and recreational facilities like grills and volleyball courts. Maintenance and staff responsiveness are frequently highlighted as strengths, with quick turnaround on repair requests. However, some residents report maintenance issues with shared amenities (pool pumps, grills, fountains) and note that older facilities may need updates. Common concerns include laundry equipment condition and occasional delays in repairs.

The property benefits from a convenient central location near shopping, beaches, and major commute routes like Highway 19, with most residents praising accessibility to nearby amenities and regional destinations. Maintenance response times are generally prompt, and staff are noted as helpful and attentive. However, some residents report noise from nearby Highway 19 and note that the property is older with limited modern updates, which may affect the overall value proposition for certain renters.

Residents report significant building quality concerns, particularly persistent mold, pest infestations, and delayed maintenance responses. Common issues include visible mold in vents and living spaces, roach and insect problems, and maintenance requests marked complete without actual resolution. A smaller number of residents report positive experiences with responsive maintenance and ongoing building renovations.
