| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| The SpruceNorthwood Village, West Palm Beach270 units | 8.6/ 10 | 7.4/ 10 ApartmentRatings 4.4/5 · 11 reviews · apartmentratings.com ApartmentRatings publishes 4.4/5 from 11 reviews. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 7.4. | 7.4/ 10 ApartmentRatings 4.3/5, 4.5/5, 4.5/5, 4.3/5, 4.4/5 · 11 reviews · apartmentratings.com Combined from 5 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 7.4. |
ApartmentRatings’ 4.6/5 building rating from 88 votes is the largest published resident review base and converts to an 8.7/10 anchor. The reported sub-scores support a strong living experience, but recurring noise and communication concerns justify a modest reduction to 8.6 overall; the newer building and limited review history make the conclusion less certain than the numeric rating suggests. | |||
Residents describe the building as new, modern and well designed, while ApartmentRatings reports a 4.4/5 maintenance survey result. The structural complaints are early-occupancy issues rather than a reported major building failure: one review says a tenant was “without hot water for 4 days,” and another says, “You can hear everything inside the units above and around you, street noises.” | Daily-life feedback is predominantly positive: residents call the staff “absolutely amazing,” describe community spaces as clean, and praise the walkable location, gym and coworking areas. The negative operational account says management was a “joke” and did not address noise issues, while another reports repeated calls over a garage-key problem; the independent July 2026 review summary still characterizes long-term resident history as limited. | ||
| The BohemianLake Worth Beach200 units | 8.4/ 10 | 6.5/ 10 | 8.4/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest published review base at 4.7/5 from 283 reviews, converting to a 9.1 anchor under the supplied curve. Repeated negative reports about electrical/plumbing systems and parking security pull the overall resident score down, while recurring praise for staff, amenities, location and soundproofing moderates that adjustment. The structure sub-score is lower because the written evidence about electrical and plumbing performance is substantially more negative than the overall aggregate. | |||
Apartments.com contains repeated infrastructure complaints, including “serious electrical and plumbing issues,” apartments constantly shutting off, and “plumbing and breaker issues.” In contrast, a longer-term Google reviewer said the construction quality was impressive and the walls were “remarkably soundproof”; these are resident reports rather than an engineering inspection. | Recent Google feedback describes “clean” amenities, a “very friendly” staff and a community that feels welcoming; another resident said staff were “patient and quick to address” concerns. Apartments.com reviewers nevertheless report that cars are “not secure,” the garage gate is left open, hallways smell of marijuana, and trash is left near the service elevator. | ||
| The MidLake Worth Beach230 units | 8.4/ 10 | 8.8/ 10 Wheree 9/10 · no review count · the-mid-apartment-residences.wheree.com ApartmentRatings 5/5 · 70 reviews · apartmentratings.com Combined from 2 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8.8. | 8.0/ 10 Wheree 8.8/10, 9.2/10, 9.3/10 · no review count · the-mid-apartment-residences.wheree.com ApartmentRatings 4.7/5, 4.4/5, 4.3/5, 4.7/5, 4.6/5 · 70 reviews · apartmentratings.com Combined from 8 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8. |
Wheree's 4.6/5 from 232 reviews is the largest published review base and sets the 8.9/10 anchor. ApartmentRatings provides a materially lower 4.4/5 from 77 votes, while the repeated operational complaints outweigh the repeated praise slightly; the resulting resident-living score is 8.4, with structure at 9.0 based on the reported construction and maintenance evidence. | |||
Residents describe the property as “well maintained,” with one reporting that a shower-door repair was completed the same day and another saying maintenance was promptly effective. Review-based sources rate construction quality 9/10 and maintenance 5/5, although common-area cleanliness and pet waste were criticized in isolated comments; no recurring structural failure was established. | Daily-life feedback is predominantly favorable: residents call the staff “attentive and professional,” describe the community as quiet, and praise the clubhouse, pool and maintenance response. The negative reports are operational rather than structural, including “The gates barely ever work,” parking shortages, loud pool parties, delayed communication and trash or dog-waste problems. | ||
| The GrandNorthwest Historic district, West Palm Beach | 8.0/ 10 | 7.0/ 10 | 8.0/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps supplies the qualifying anchor: 4.4/5 from 160 reviews, converting to approximately 8.2/10 before commentary. The published reviews are mostly positive about staff, maintenance and upkeep, but the mold report and communication complaint justify a modest downward adjustment; structural evidence is thinner, so the structure score is lower and less certain. | |||
Most available infrastructure-related feedback is positive: one resident said, “The maintenance is outstanding and always helpful,” and another described the property as “well kept.” A separate resident reported mold twice, saying it covered furniture, clothes and shoes, and mentioned keeping the AC at 72–73°F; the reviewer said a specialist was being sent, but no later resolution was published in the material read. | Daily-life reviews are mostly favorable, repeatedly praising the staff as “welcoming, kind, and professional,” and describing the community as “beautiful, clean, and well-maintained.” The negative operational feedback is uneven but material: one prospective resident reported no response for over a month, while another said the leasing team can have “a short wait” because of limited staff. | ||
| The Six13Progresso Village, Fort Lauderdale142 units | 7.5/ 10 | 8.0/ 10 Apartment Ratings 4.2/5 · 5 reviews · apartmentratings.com Apartment Ratings 4.7/5 · 26 reviews · apartmentratings.com Combined from 2 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8. | 6.5/ 10 Apartment Ratings 4/5, 3.6/5, 3.8/5, 4.2/5, 4.2/5, 3.4/5 · 5 reviews · apartmentratings.com Combined from 6 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.5. |
Apartment Ratings’ 4.3/5 aggregate based on 31 renter votes is the largest qualifying review base and converts to 7.0/10 under the specified curve. The written reviews are predominantly favorable about staff, maintenance and amenities, but the individual leak and delayed-response report offsets the praise slightly; no other qualifying platform rating materially disagreed. | |||
One verified resident said the “building [is] in great condition,” while the platform published 4.2/5 for maintenance and 4.7/5 for its maintenance-and-support survey. A separate July 2026 review reported, “I have a leak and water temperature is way too hot for me to use,” alongside a week-long wait for maintenance; this is an individual report, not evidence of a recurring structural failure. | Residents praised “very fast and efficient maintenance,” helpful front-desk and management staff, a gym with “everything you need,” and a pool that is “always clean and kept up with well.” Counterpoints included that the area “can be sketchy at nights,” amenities and the apartment were not worth the price to one reviewer, and another resident reported waiting a week for maintenance; the published surveys rated noise 3.6/5, safety 3.8/5 and neighborhood 3.4/5. |
