Cite Condominiums

The best building in the area with the best management,
Only bad tenants or bad owners hate them because to impose the condo laws strictly
Beside all when it come to financial issues this building has kept the maintenance fees the same for the last 5 years meanwhile they improve the gym, the pool, painting, elevator etc. without any extra assessments on the occupants.
I love this building and since I moved in in the year 2010

I have been living at Cite for 7 years now, and I have lived in other apartment buildings around Brickell and Edgewood as well. This is a very well maintained, super clean, family oriented building much better than any other I have experienced before. The staff is super friendly and helpful, neighbors are nice and polite, never had a problem with anyone. I have friends living in nearby newer buildings and I can tell a huge difference in the treatment received by management and staff. Great for families and kids, the beach style heated pool is a big hit with them. There is no better place to live in this amazing area.

I have nothing but the worst to say about this building and people who work there! I rented there for a year and even though my rent was always paid in time and in full, the owner never reimbursed my security deposit! The realtor Maggie co-​conspired with the owner and was NO help in getting my deposit back. TOTALLY unprofessional! In the end I just have up! People there are totally nasty, they will rob you blind! I would never go back! Stay away! Plenty of other nice places nearby instead of this overpriced dump.

We really like it! We’ve been here for 4 months now, and it’s a great place to live. I find the staff very friendly and helpful.
The location is great. I run a lot in the park and on the venetian causeway. Every couple weeks we walk over to Kush for a beer. I love being able to walk to Publix for groceries. The restaurants on the bottom floor and across Biscayne blvd are good too, but we don’t go to them that often.
There are a few little things that bother me. Sometimes the management can be hard to get ahold of, and they take awhile to respond to my emails, but that seems to be the status quo for Miami in general. Once I was carrying a box under my arm, and tried to go in the main elevator. They told me I couldn’t take that box in the main elevator, and I had to walk around to the other side of the building a use the freight elevator. I was pretty puzzled how they could be relaxed about rules one day and then be militant about this harmless box I was carrying. I’ve also had trouble with the clicker for the parking garage like other reviewers. However, this seems to be intermittent, and I wouldn’t blame the management.

This building has the most miserable staff I have even seen. As an owner, they treat you like you are a prisoner even though your fees pay their salaries so I cant even imagine how they treat renters. The front desk looks like the DMV complete with rude staff, the management hides behind locked doors and is completely inadequate at their jobs only stepping up to defend their incompetence. The building itself is very poorly constructed, outdated, and poorly maintained. The place is just taking up valuable real estate in an otherwise nice neighborhood

Excellent place to live. Huge park across the street, on the bay and pet friendly (no restrictions) Building was also just freshly painted at the end of 2012. The only problem with this building is the management. They are horrible and live in there own little world. I moved from the loft building to the other building and I had to fill out all the paperwork like I was a new tenant. Background check and credit check. I am glad I am just a renter and not an owner. I could not deal with them. They are horrible!!!

Sad. This can be a nice place to live as soon as the Homeowner’s Association is replaced (it has been the same group of people since the building first opened in 2004… hello???) and management office personnel is adequately managed. Hard to believe, but the management office’s doors are constantly locked, and a resident needs to talk to the front desk, explain the reason why needs to go in the office (in front of whoever is in the lobby), wait for the receptionist to explain everything to one of the manager’s assistants (I know, it is a freaking building manager…), then they communicate the whole process to the manager who makes you wait for an average of 30 to 60 min so see her (and usually be treated like she is doing you a favor by being there). The management’s job is to make the resident’s lives harder, in any possible way. Never answer the phone. Say no to every and single thing a resident may need. The staff is so afraid of the HO Association Board Members (many police officers), that they dont even attempt to use common sense when needed, and come up with the most absurd rules one can ever hear of.
It looks like this corrupt and power abusive association is trying to turn the building into their own playground, running it like a mafia, their way or no way. BTW, since 2004 there has not been one single valid election for the Association Board. According to the members, not enough residents have ever voted for it (not a surprise they are the ones collecting the votes…).
Anyway, stay away from this place. You might as well live in Overtown or Hialeah if you want to have this «life style». If I am to pay as much as this place costs, I will at least expect a decent service. Nice area though.

Poorly managed.
Some of the managers of the property run the place like a 3^rd world country.
Specially security.
Maintenance Fees are way too high for what they offer.
Parking for the retail area is a nightmare.
They just need to get rid of everyone and start with a new management company.
