This is a very delayed review.
I lived here when I first moved to Tampa with intent to do my masters at USF. When I first moved in my roommates and I were greeted with a pool of water in the living room. The cabinets weren’t cleaned and there were cobwebs everywhere. In each room there were leaves on the floor. The refrigerator looked as if there was someone else there using it before us.
The stairs leading up to the apartment were cracked and shaking. One moved as we stepped on it.
Communication with the office staff was not good but it wasn’t horrible. The quality of service fluctuated depending on who responded to the message, however, most of the queries required escalation or waiting for a supervisor to provide more information. I will say that if you are persistent enough and continue to communicate via email and in person you will get a response(don’t spam).
It may not be the best but it is okay, especially for students, if they are housed with liked minded students.
I've been living here for almost 3 years, and I’ve always felt comfortable and safe. The apartment is nice, affordable, and has everything I need, with most things in good condition. I did need maintenance a few times while living here, but they were always helpful and usually fixed things within a day.
I’ve lived here since August 2022 and stayed for almost 4 years because the price is affordable and the location is great. It’s convenient for students and daily living. The maintenance team is also very good and responds quickly when needed. I also like the gym, clubhouse, and the community events they organize. The main downside is mold occasionally appearing in the kitchen and clothes drawers, so I bought a dehumidifier to help with the moisture. Overall, it’s still a good place for my school life as an international student.

The internet here is completely unreliable and makes it impossible to work or get anything done. I am in unit 3510, apartment 102, and this has been an ongoing issue for the past 7 to 8 months. I have reported it countless times to Ivy, Latigo, and the service provider, and nothing has been fixed.
At this point, it is clear that resident concerns are being ignored. For something as essential as internet, this level of inaction is unacceptable. I will not be renewing my lease, and I will be telling my roommates and anyone considering this place to look elsewhere.

The recent tragedy at Avalon Heights involving the loss of Limon and Nahida is a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly roommate conflicts can escalate. I am sharing my own experience at Ivy Apartments to urge everyone to prioritize their safety when choosing a place to live.
A few years ago, management at Ivy Apartments paired me with a crazy roommate. What started as small issues—stealing my food and leaving the kitchen a mess—quickly spiraled into a nightmare. He would play games at max volume late into the night, and when I finally confronted him about my lack of sleep, he became physically aggressive, kicking my door and making direct threats against me.
I didn't want to involve the police. All I wanted is pesce. I repeatedly asked management to move either me or the roommate to a different unit. They completely ignored my safety concerns. They forced me to live in a threatening environment for months without taking any action.
Please, be extremely careful. Avoid any apartment complex where management treats tenant safety as a low priority. Your peace of mind and your life are worth more than a lease agreement.
