Management is terrible. They constantly lie saying issues are fixed in the building when they never fix them. Im also paying almost $4,000 per month to live here and can’t even park in the building. They make you park in the garage that takes 20 mi...

Leanna treated me like family from the start! I'm a hurricane victim... currently homeless. Her compassion, patience and wanting to make me feel safe and welcome was beyond words.

The Heron leasing team — Leana Hellman and Aaron Meister — could not have been more helpful in selecting and moving into our beautiful apartment in the Heron residences on Water Street in Tampa.

Management response and communication during the hurricane was abysmal. No notice the gas/hot water was being shut off, and when I asked, I was told it was a 'requirement'. When I pushed back and brought up the fact that it wasn't a 'requirement' dur...

I really enjoy living at the heron. Any maintenance request is handled the same day the request is placed. The staff is warm and welcoming. The amenities are great as well and the events they have bring residents together to get to know one another.

Nice spot great apartment great location nice amenities great staff great great views. Location is amazing just wish they did something for when games are on and streets closed off for residents that’s the only down side

Not worth the price honestly. Pretty and clean building but not enough amenities or space to justify the cost. The neighborhood is nice but also makes it a difficult place to live with traffic and parking issues.

Over all it was a good experience. The only thing that bothered me was the noise level outside it was hard to sleep with the starship , very loud cars, and spark man

Heron is the ideal apartment complex in Tampa, Florida. My time here was short but I enjoyed every minute of it and I recommend this place and it's amenities whole heartedly. Thank you soo much team at Heron!

William

I’ve lived all over the states in very high end apartments….the residence here is always so clean and the staff is always extremely pleasant. Never had such a great living experience than here.

3/5 experience for the price paid. It is not great, but it is not bad by any means. I do not believe there is a better apartment in Tampa unit for unit but I do think the amenities are average.

Brad Wochnick

Terrible. I have had so many issues in my apartment. We’re talking weekly. Non stop promises and guarantees from the management and they have yet to fix the issues. The hey have came and “temporarily” fixed the issues 10x in the past 2 months. ...

If you enjoy paying the highest rent in Tampa, with an increase of 15% every year, this is the place for you! They price the renewals materially higher for current residents to take advantage of the fact that moving out is a headache.

It’s a nice place to live. The noise level is horrendous where we are located in the building… sparkman wharf& the starship are really loud.

We love the building. The events hosted are very well done. I think one suggestion for improvements is keeping maintenance on the air conditioning in the common areas updated. We notice hallways and elevators are hot too often. Another is their is of...

Cody

It’s been good I’ve not had many complaints just don’t like parking aspect and the fact I can’t park in the building I live in along with my friends not having accessible easy parking when they visit

William

Everyone is very pleasant and we love the concierge staff. Any problems also usually get fixed in a timely manner. It’s in a great location with everything you need in walking distance. The only downside to living downtown is parking for some peopl...

Jean

Much, much better than the previous management firm.... Maintenance is really improved a lot... Management team when I am traveling abroad is a little bit difficult to reach.

Deep

Loved my time here at Heron! Unfortunately, the size of my apartment and having to park across the street in another was a huge factor in deciding to renew and was simply not worth the price. Otherwise, great location and views!

Donna

Liking new management much better! Great neighbors. Dog friendly. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely views. Looking forward to more community shops and hot spots

Mark

Very nice place. Enjoy living here. However, on-going problem with the elevators. Seem like you should get everything working well before you raise the rent. I also request info on any soon to be open apartments nearer to the water on the 24th floor.

Jeffrey

The parking situation here is awful and is the top reason why I’m not renewing. The other issue is the elevators are not reliable and you could wait up to 10min for one.

Nicole

WE LOVE LIVING AT THE HERON !!! GREAT LOCATION GREAT TEAM ! WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION IS OVER IT WILL BE ALL THE BETTER !! MAKING FRIENDS WITH NEW REISDENTS EVERY DAY !!

Erick

Great place and beautiful location! The staff is super nice and very professional, I highly recommend this place or the location water street!

Andy

So far it has been a very easy and smooth transition from my old apt to the Heron Community. The apt was in perfect condition and the moving process was very accomodating

Haylee

No parking, guests have to pay $25 to just visit us. We pay $3k a month for a one bedroom and if we have more than 3 guests it’s considered an event and you’re charged $500.

Manali

We love the Heron and all that it offers. We could not imagine moving anywhere else. The views, the surrounding, and staff are so wonderful. It feels like home with luxury style living.

William

Fabulous pool, rooftop, living experience and location. Walk my pup on the Riverwalk every morning, take a rooftop swim and workout starts the day right

Scott

Need the following: - Consolidated key fob that controls the garage - Better gating system - More vendors - Business center on the RT - Include electric in the rent - Quicker / more reliable elevators - Better security to seep out stragglers, anyone ...

Steven

I so greatly appreciate Andres in leasing and Kiara from the concierge, they have both gone above and beyond my expectations and have treated me like a loved one. I thank you for going above and beyond for all my requests! ✨

Thomas

Leaps and bounds better than ZRS! But still have room for improvements. Spending this much money a month and only able to get 1 parking spot is ridiculous.

Aslı

Coolest residence in Tampa downtown. We are living since couple of weeks here. It’s well managed and always in good condition. In general all the employees are very friendly. Taylor Walls from leasing management team is especially so good is her jo...

Grant

Apartment has been great, amenities are nice as well. Old management disappointed, but the new management seems to be making a noticeable effort to make up for the shortcomings of their predecessor.

Faizah

Has had its ups and down. The location is amazing. The balcony was our favorite part. The rooms are just too small. Couldn’t fit a dresser and my desk barely fits. For the price we pay it’s definitely a huge con. Previous management wasn’t the ...

Parking was not thought out for these buildings, Alarms are always going off at the Publix door, daily! Building is suppose to be non-smoking though the smell of pot lingers through elevators and all floors. Balcony's are a disaster. Residents use th...

Rachel

We love living here! Heron is clean, quiet and the staff is incredibly responsive. Maintenance requests are handled very quickly and the entire team is truly professional.

Eric

Much better living compared to our prior management we finally have grills that function properly and I like how they have events that involve all of the residents

John

I moved in a few weeks ago and so far so good. The only things so far that were unexpected are related to Amalize Arena and the TELCO streetcar: the Amalie Arena air conditioner condensers run at all times are are super loud (the closest think I can ...

Bozzutto management has been incredible and really care about the well-being of their residents. They stepped in after old management of my building left their residents feeling dismissed and ignored.

I love living at heron and will be renewing my lease this month. I’m so excited for the new restaurants and shops opening on water street! Hope to stay here a while :)

arianna beetz

The concierge at the Heron are absolutely amazing :) They are kind, respectful, and always super friendly :)

Joel Snively

Stephan and the concierge team are true professionals and provide an experience at Heron like no other residence building in Tampa. Thank you for the impeccable service!!

David Schlaifer

Update after 9 months: No change in perceived value or quality noted below. Add that elevators can sometimes take 10-15 minutes during busy times. I tried to terminate lease early without penalty due to all the issues and was refused, notwithstanding...

Best part about living at Heron is the SUPREME concierge team! No matter what we need… at any time or day.. we are greeted with smiles. From package delivery issues to hosting amazing rooftop events, the team makes us feel soecial and appreciated!

Shout out to Stefan and his amazing concierge team!! I am a vendor who participated in a special event drawing caricatures for the residents and their pets in the building yesterday, and the staff was simply AMAZING! Chantal was especially key in pro...

Jennifer Glover

This review is specifically to give props to one of the new leasing agents, Taylor, for helping me transfer units. She was an angel, despite me changing my mind, literally 4 times. I am very grateful for her help.

JMP G

Still Great appartements...and management changed, we may be treated as we deserved now👍

Olivia Ray

I lived here for the past year. Parking is the absolute worst thing here, my friends had to Uber just to come over. Once they didn’t let me up in my own car (that I paid $300 a month for a reserved spot) because my key was not working. They wouldn�...

I moved in last weekend from Denver and all I can say is that Cheryl G is hands down the best leasing agent I’ve EVER worked with and therefore deserves an entire review dedicated just to her! She went above and beyond in many instances to make my ...

Jay Dhahan

I moved to Tampa from Canada and have had the most amazing experience living at the Heron. Great people, amenities, and overall energy. Definitely a NextGen way of living!

Matthew Stripp

After touring this apartment complex, I could tell the Heron is more of a frat house than a luxury building!

Jesus B

Beautiful place place in the right location with a price tag too high for my pocket

A

Terrible parking options for guests. If the parking is full you can probably park at Greenwise but after 2 hours you pay a $50.00, no biggie until your car is towed. Signs state no event parking. Never stated no overnight or no parking at all.

This building is a noisy rundown and has a laundry list of issues! Management will just pretend that everything‘s fine and blame the issue on anyone else but themselves!

lisa mcknight

🤮🤮🤮 When visiting this place it seemed very run down for a brand new building. I definitely did not feel safe here with the extreme lack of maintenance!

Min Yaga

So I've lived here for about 7 months and feel reasonably qualified to speak about the experience here. Note that my experience is mostly for Tower B (facing the arena). Pros: - It's absolutely gorgeous. The views, design, and styling are second to n...

Great place with amazing views, - best neighborhood to walk, eat ect -The front desk and management are so very helpful, above and beyond! Andres and Jessica have made the move in so smooth and easy. Highly recommend.

Jasa 91

Just moved from NY and I really like the residency here. Great amenities and staff. Andres helped me with the move in process and made it very smooth and easy.

Kellen Carter

Definitely recommend working with Andres at the Heron. He has great customer service, and is responsive and helpful. Thanks!

I service multiple clients in this building and have ALWAYS had issues with front desk/concierge staff. They are either rude and unhelpful, or they are not at the desk period. All of the numbers to contact staff ring to the same phone in the west tow...

Andres was very caring and professional, he did a great job touring and helped us with anything we needed.

My husband and I worked with Jessica Jimenez at the Heron and she was absolutely amazing. We wanted to move quickly on reserving one of the floor plans since they are in high demand and she was very responsive. The building is beautiful. The rooftop ...

Gwen Connery

I helped a family member move into the Heron and things couldn’t have gone any smoother. Andres was so helpful from beginning to end. I can’t say enough good things about him and about this beautiful building.

Mia E

The building takes no accountability for issues, and will always find someone else to blame. Kristen Miller and Lisa Bernat will listen to your problems, but offer no solutions. A few of the concierge staff are extremely rude and don’t know how to ...

Maria E

RUN from this place. Don’t trust all these fake 5 star reviews. Spend your money elsewhere, where you won’t be driven to buy an overpriced house just to get out of the building (this has already happened to a couple residents)! Side note- I’ve ...

So far Heron has been exceptional! Perfect location, great views, beautiful apartments, top notch amenities, unbelievably courteous and professional staff. I feel lucky to have gotten in here when I could!

Chrissie Zimbleman

Love the building so far. Staff is very friendly and helpful and they assisted with the move in process. Gorgeous apartments with great views and you gotta love being on the river walk and greenwise publix on the ground floor!

Rosa .Gradilla

I will share my honest opinion living here. I love everything about the building, everything is always clean and neat: the gym, pool, hallways. Most concierges are very nice and helpful. Yes, it is expensive but it is a luxury building that actually ...

Leo Fox

Great views and quiet apartments. Living at the Heron has been an enjoyable experience.

James Thompson

The best way to describe it is resort style living in the middle of the city. Living at the Heron and experiencing the opening of the Water Street neighborhood come alive is amazing.

Rollie Bands

Expensive 🤷🏽‍♂️ We only live once 😭

Facilities are nice and well maintained. The building is poorly managed as the concierge is understaffed and the front desk is often not attended. Most attempts at reaching the concierge by phone are also unsuccessful which makes any kind of delivery...
