I just moved in on the 1st. I love my apartment so far. Jessica helped me get my apartment asap when I direly needed a place. I applied on the 31st and got moved into my one bedroom on the first. She was prompt with everything, thank you, love! I appreciate it! I had a small electric issue with my kitchen light and microwave. Went into the office at 5 after maintenance left, an off duty maintenance man checked the issue, promised to have someone in the next day. 9:30 am the next day, he was back and fixed my light issue quickly. Prompt and quick. I love the view of the trees and water. I look outside of my windows and see nothing but nature. It is pretty here, and the nature aspect really does it for me. I am looking forward to my year here!

The Dawson Apartments staff are some of the best, most genuine people you can ever come across. They were always there for me whenever i needed any help. The are very easy to talk to and are always smiling big :) I've spent the best 7 years at this place, and I'm really sad my time there has to come to an end. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a place to stay in the New Tampa area.
