Please do not listen to the (angry) tenant theory from the office. Ask yourself why would so many people dislike the management/apartments at Paddock Park. When I asked about all of the bad reviews before moving in, I was told by Terry in the office that it was just people that didn't pay their rent. I soon found that to be not true. My rent was paid (ontime) the duration of my lease agreement. As a tenant you have a right to complain when things need to be addressed but, LUCY in the office told me I complained to much...My unspoken response was, if you actually did your job, maybe, the complaints would be less.
Living there was the worst experience of my life....The building is old & if you live on the first floor, you have my condolences.. Each time the slidding glass door is opened/closed in the above apartment, it makes a very loud noise as it goes across the old track that can be heard in the bedroom & sitting in the livingroom is unbearable. You won't get very much sleep. Terry told me that if the tenant above did not complain about their door, there was nothing that could be done about it...I take a moment to laugh here...
There is absolutely no security team, the lighting on the premise is very very poor at night & the gate is accessible for anyone to enter at anytime. Please Google the Ocala Police Department Dispatch calls to Paddock Park Apartments. Hopefully, that will help guide you in your decision...Especially if you are a single female.
