Worst apt complex on the island. it's just a horrible place. All the negative reviews are 100% legit. I've been here only a few months and my experience has been a nightmare. Don't even give this complex the benefit of the doubt, it's really bad. You have been warned.

If you enjoy being ignored and losing sleep, this is the place for you.
I lived at Central Island Square for 2.5 years, and the only consistent thing about this place was the complete lack of professionalism from management and the nonstop noise that made it impossible to relax, let alone sleep.
Let’s start with the management: completely disorganized, unresponsive, and frankly, rude. Emails went unanswered or responded to days later. Calls were ignored. Any issue you brought up was met with indifference or passed off to someone else who also wouldn’t follow through. The staff turnover is constant, which means nothing ever got resolved because no one stuck around long enough to remember your name, let alone your issue.
And the noise? Unreal. The walls are basically drywall and air. I could hear every footstep, conversation, TV show, argument, etc. from my neighbors. There were late-night parties and hallway noises that echoed like a concert venue. Not to mention there’s constant construction happening from local retail stores outside. Even by apartment standards, the noise was out of control. Reaching out to management about noise complaints was useless. You’ll be told “we’ll look into it,” and then crickets.
They also do not strictly follow the dog breed restrictions listed on their website—so good luck at the dog park. I witnessed multiple incidents involving aggressive dogs that clearly violated their own policy, and management did nothing when concerns were raised. And the amount of dog poop left everywhere outside is ridiculous, especially considering they claim to have a system in place to manage it. Spoiler alert: it’s not enforced.
It’s infuriating to pay this much money to live in a place that treats its residents like an afterthought. I stayed longer than I should have, hoping things would improve, but it only got worse. Do yourself a favor—skip Central Island Square. The pretty exterior is just that: exterior. The experience inside is anything but livable.
And please don’t bother replying with a phone number to “talk to someone” or offering another empty “sorry about your experience.” I’ve already been through that loop too many times—it leads nowhere!

I do not recommend living at Central Island
Apartments. The management does not conduct thorough background checks on residents, which compromised my safety. I was assaulted by another resident during my time there. Out of concern for my physical and mental well-being, I retained legal counsel and provided medical documentation requesting a lease termination without penalty. Despite this, management refused to release me from my lease. Their handling of the situation made it clear that resident safety and well-being are not a priority. I strongly advise looking elsewhere for housing.
