Gables Wilton Park

It’s a great place to live if management would address the unsanitary issue of overflowing trash chutes as it a happens every week. For the high rent that they charge garbage being visible on the ground is unexpected. It’s very disappointing that this problem seems to not have a solution.

Worst attitude in management office. The parking is a nightmare. Bad signage, cars get booted and towed with a horrible system. It must be a money maker for management. There are so many other options out there that want to treat you with respect and value your business. UPDATE: As for the «save face» reply to my review… Sorry. Not buying it! Too late… Tried to resolve and even offer a suggestion on how to fix the «money making» deliberately bad signage situation. Both were met with indifference and «so sorry to be you» attitude. As a realtor for 20 years in this town… I am keeping all my clients away from this place. Forgot to remind in the original review… My partner’s car was booted while we were at Scarfones… We were parked in a space adjacent to a row of signs that was for retail customers but not marked at all. Purposely bad signage… We were not trying to park illegally or misuse the parking. He is a Dr on call and we left dinner early as he got called to the ER… He was an hour late because we had to wait for Barney Fife to show up and SLOWLY remove the boot! When we called we informed them of the emergency. We are reasonable people. I admit when I do something wrong… But the management here would never do that… Even when out of principal. I went back a few days later to discuss… I am sure the patient and their family waiting in the ER didn’t really want to hear about it. In this case, the patient was fine… But what about the next consequence of bad management… and all for ripping off patrons of your tenants for $ 66!

I have been finding out that specific resident has been causing drama and that resident uses resident name and property manager name about drama and truth been told that our property manager has never said negative things and she was sad that we b moving. So Vivian is a good person and she very professional. It just that one resident cause drama and lies and gossip. It sadden we b moving but again Gables is great place to live. Be aware of when meeting new neighbors and watch your back. Thank you Vivian for your support, concerns and etc. I will miss you.

Going on two years, I’ve read previous reviews and I agree, Parking. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to pay for street parking for family and friends visiting and how whenever we’ve tried to use guest parking anytime from Friday to Monday morning there hasn’t been any available. To any already stuck in this situation the street parking mobile app charges a fee and the stand in the middle of the public parking area has a 7/​day pass! Maintenance is great, the pool is great, I wish they would be a little better about picking up trash near the townhouses but nobody’s perfect.
I leave two stars because of the street parking fees I’ve had to pay.
I will say, not owning a pet but there being plenty of pets here I’ve never seen any pet waste around and I love that either the pet bags being available everywhere or grounds keeping does their job well.
My father wasn’t familiar with having to use parking passes and he put the parking pass in his rear window so they could see it when they drove by, they still booted her car. this is not an issue I particularly had with the Gables but they do allow them to boot in our neighborhood, Very unprofessional!
Perhaps this is a very good neighborhood if you don’t have any friends or family that want to come visit you! Maybe that’s where all those five-​star reviews are coming from, that or the office :)

Will be moving out at the end of my 1 yr agreement due to:
— Parking! Cars are booted and towed even when there are adequate spaces available. I understand towing if parking for residents is consistently un-​available, but it is not. There seems to be more than adequate parking, but only a few spots designated for guests. I wouldn’t be surprised if gables receives a kick back from the fees imposed from the towing company. For example, my family had come to visit and parked in guest parking. We got swept up in conversation since we hadn’t seen each other in a long time and forgot to immediately give them the ONE pass you receive for your guests to display in their window. I returned maybe 45 min later with the pass and their car had been booted, meanwhile there were still several spaces available right next to them in guest parking as well as spots not designated as guest parking. With the retail spaces filling up, parking will be an even bigger issue.
— Rent Hike! They will raise your rent by up to 10+% when you go to renew event though the market does not justify it. They just hope you wont want to have the hassle of moving and suck it up. Though to be fair, if you are willing to immediately re-​sign a one year agreement, the increase is not that bad.
— Two stars given for location, pool, and grounds keeping. Though there are other locations just as convenient and pools in SoFl are numerous.

It’s painfully obvious that Shaney (Janey) had friends do 5 star reviews after my review. Please believe me, you would not want to deal with these people. My review refers to my first hand contact with them. Again, I say stay away… you will not like the way they treat you or your guests.

I have lived at Gables Wilton Park for almost a year now and this is honestly one of the friendliest, most well maintained properties I have ever had the pleasure of living. The community is incredibly well maintained from interior spaces such as the gym and lobbies to the beautiful lushly landscaped grounds. The pool area is also very beautiful and makes one feel as though they were living at a resort. The Gables is also just a short walk from the nightlife and restaurants of Wilton Drive which makes the location of this community ideal. The office staff at Gables are also extremely friendly, attentive, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them! Janey has been my go-​to person and is always extremely helpful, professional and quick to respond which I am always thankful for.
Thank you Gables team for all of your hard work and for making this community truly feel like home!

First of all the previous review is total BS! We moved from Chicago to the Gables and it is a great place! Also, JANEY in the front office is AMAZING! If your going to give an uncredited slam about someone at least get their name correct. I will say that she is one of the reason why we moved there, she was so nice and accommodating from the moment we looked at moving to the Gables. Viviane and Eli have always been great too, everything is well kept and they fix everything immediately. The people who complain and talk around the complex are the people who usually are the ones breaking the rules and feel compelled to blame someone else…

I have lived at the Gables Wilton Park for almost a year and I am not able to begin to express how great the experience I have had so far has been. The property landscaping is immaculately maintained and is beautiful to say the least in addition to having a pool open year round with a community you wont want to leave. In addition to initial impressions you have the apartment itself, your sanctuary — Luxury in feeling, spacious, and just a hop skip and a jump from the entertainment located throughout the Wilton Manors «Drive».
These are all reasons I LOVE living at Wilton Park, however, the #1 reason is the people. Specifically Janey in the front office. Janey supported our move from the west coast and ensured the transition was simple and as stress free as possible when moving across the country. Additionally Janey has been our point person since we moved in and is meticulous on follow up and ensuring the residents needs are all addressed. The maintenance team are also top notch — once you make a request for any issue you may encounter it is addressed with urgency and with a friendly face.
THANK YOU GABLES WILTON PARK! #Janeyrocks #GWP #Placetobe

I have lived at the gables only one year and I am moving at the end of my lease. They tried to raise my rent $ 170 a month and I just laughed at them. In addition the parking issue totally sucks, almost 200 apartments and 6 guest spots. REALLY? The walls are so thin that my next door neighbor asked me to not flush the toilet in the middle of the night because it wakes him up. My neighbors remote control for his ceiling fan controls me ceiling fans, so my lights and fans go on when ever he turns his on. Although the apartments are nice and spacious there are plenty of other places to rent. Over all I would rate my experience here at the Gables a #2 out of 10. Don’t get sucked into this place like we did.

Just read these reviews and think I must be living in another complex. LOL. Moved here from SF area about 8 months ago. I viewed over 10 complexes across Ft Lauderdale and the Gables was the best option. I decided to lease a 1 bedroom townhouse after downsizing from my CA home. It’s a tri-​level design with an attached garage. More than enough space and a great layout
Staff members are friendly and professional. All of my service requests have bee handled quickly and effectively. Furthermore, they follow up with you to ensure that all needs were met.
I use the pool and gym on an ongoing basis. These areas are cleaned daily and never crowded. For this — I am very thankful. The complex is in a great location for biking or walking to numerous restaurants and clubs. Further, My neighbors have been very friendly and helpful.
I am very thankful to call this home!

I agree with Mark P.‘s review. I lived at the Gables for six month and here are some of my key takeaways:
— extremely transitory. Not many people seem to stick around at the gables for long. During my six weeks I had neighbors move in and out on both sides.
— parking is not always easy to find.
— the amenities weren’t very useful. The gym is capable but tiny. The pool is heated supposedly but always felt pretty chilly to me — I guess they’re saving on the heating bill? I rarely saw people in it and rarely got in it myself. The grills were out of gas a number of times I tried to use them. The internet in the Internet café is slow to the point of being useless. And some sites were blocked as pornographic that weren’t porn. For example, any tumblr blog or URL was blocked by the adult filter regardless of whether it was a hello kitty blog or an American history blog.
— I’ve met a number of other people who used to live in the gables and they all feel the same as me: WAY overpriced for what you get.
To summarize: steer clear if you can. There are better places to live in Wilton manors and Fort Lauderdale. It you want to live in walking distance to Wilton drive there are hundreds of rentals in the area where you’ll get a much better bang for your buck.

I have lived at the Gables for almost a year. It is a beautiful and well maintained community. It is very diverse and relatively quiet and you can walk to just about anywhere that is anywhere on the main drag. However, there are a few issues here you should know before moving in. First of all, they will jack your rent up after the first year… automatically. Number two, there are some serious parking issues which are getting worse for the tenants. My neighbors have had their cars towed twice in one year becasue the passes they displayed required that they park in front of our townhomes. Well, at times there are no spots in the evenings for us or our guests in front of the townhouses. But there is plenty of parking behind our units and only 6 guest spots… but too bad, they will tow your car in the middle of the night. In addition, they are now beggining to rent out some of their retail space in the front building called the Tower. So they recently held a meeting in which they told us that we are not going to be able to use the parking in front of our townhomes anymore! They are taking all the extra parking for their new business tenants… which includes a Lounge!!! Another bar in Wilton Manors?
So now, we need to use our Garage and the Space behind our Garage for Parking… that’s it! Well some of us «downsized» from larger homes for a variety of reasons and use our Garages for Storage. In addition, if one person in the townhome needs to use their car, the other person has to go move theirs from behind the Garage so they can get out… this is not NYC! Parking should not be an issue. On top of that, all the guest parking will be moved to the front of the townhomes and those spots will be immediately taken up by residents who need to use their Garages for storage. So there will be no more parking for guests at all! I just received my renewal lease and the rent went up approx $ 135.00 a month… so if you decide to rent a storage unit to free up your Garage ($ 150-​$ 200 a month), then your rent just went up about $ 350.00 over night… on top of the $ 2,100 a month you already pay. So there you have it! Ask lot’s of questions… almost everyone I speak to at the pool or while walking the dog says that they were told that there was plenty of Parking when they came to see the units… well it’s not so!
I will add that they are pretty good about maintenance and such, but you are paying top dollar and should expect that anyway. Hmmm, do i renew my lease or not?
