Apartment Description
Premium living without a premium price, only at The Social at South Florida. Going to school is expensive, living well shouldn’t be. We understand that all college students want a nice, quiet place to come home to after school or work. Located... less than 2 miles from USF, we offer fully furnished apartment homes with individual leases. All apartment homes include your own private bedroom with attached full bathroom. Each bedroom comes with an individual deadbolt and each resident has their own private mailbox. Convenience is everything…. Most apartment homes are fully furnished! Our furnished apartment homes include new modern design leather sofa and chair, dining table with two chairs, full size beds, built in desks with desk chair and bookshelf and much more! All apartment homes come with all appliances including a large refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave and full-size washer and dryer. Plus, utilities are included! Our property is designed with students in mind… not only are you close to USF, but you’re close to everything! Within walking distance you’ll find an Aveda salon, Chick-Fil-A, Jimmy Johns, coffee bar, sushi bar and much more! *All units are charged a $50 utility fee and a $5 Package locker fee*
After my lease ended, all of my maintenance orders disappeared from the system—no explanation, nothing. Yet somehow, charges magically appeared on my account, with no reference to those work orders. For example, they picked up the mattress and rails (which should’ve been recorded in a maintenance request), but still charged me. It honestly seems like they’re just charging everyone who moves out for normal wear and tear, without reviewing records or being... fair.
They say they can’t talk about disputes over the phone but still expect us to give them time to explain things? That makes no sense. One of my roommates—who lived there less time than I did—was charged $600 for carpet. Mind you, that carpet had been flooded multiple times before. When it happened, maintenance just sucked the water up and dried it—no cleaning, no replacing.
There was also an incident where maintenance left the water running and a door unlocked upstairs in a vacant unit. Water ended up leaking into another unit’s bathroom and floors. This place has had mold issues, pests, and nonstop unprofessional behavior. In the 4½ years I stayed there, they’ve gone through 3 to 5 different managers—no one sticks around, and that says a lot.
The office rarely gives straight answers, and be warned: if they say you owe $589, it’s probably going to end up being $700–$800 instead. The price is never what they advertise. Also, do not sign a lease based on the model room they show you—it is not what your actual unit will look like.
The only decent people in the office are Kyle and possibly the manager (don’t know him well). Everyone else acts like it’s a joke—they laugh, they don’t take concerns seriously, and they’re quick to place blame without any accountability.
PLEASE be cautious before signing anything here. It’s not worth the headache.

This is not a good place. Dirty. Predatory lease terms and lots of fake fees charged. There are better places. We regret the year that my daughter spent here.

I would recommend leasing here to anyone looking for housing in the Tampa area! The units are upgraded and spacious and the rates are the cheapest you will find for the area. The community and staff are very friendly and they host some fun monthly events
