The lot rent is too high for what you get and the water rates are a fixed amount per household. We own our home but do not consider it an asset. Some nice people among the residents and the maintenance crew but they are restricted by the park in what they are allowed to do for homeowners.

Horrible customer service. They want to make new rules out of the blue and make you comply or they threaten to evict you. I’ve parked my truck in the same spot that I have when I first signed here over a year ago, I even paid for my own mulch and lining to put on the grass now it is suddenly a problem. Wish they had the same service when you ask to get your shower walls fixed. Also my 5x8 small trailer is now also a problem apparently. Wish these rules were applied 3 months ago when I unfortunately resigned my contract for another year.

Dont move here! The rules always changing and they dont care about the well being of the residents! You are not allow to have more the two cars. You will have to park at the front office. I m a sick person i cant make that walk everyday. They will tow your car with no problem. It was a great place to live 10 years ago it horrible now. DO NOT MOVE HERE!

This place has the worst management. The manager is not professional, lead to same attitude of the staff. You do not want to spend a whole year in this place, stuck with bad management system. Find another better complex to live

Been “on the process” of trying to be approved for almost a month! Very poor communication between the staff. I was told that if I went and paid some things off my credit I would be approved...only for them to give me the run around for weeks! I finally called today after waiting for a response for 2 weeks (because no one even reached out to me regarding my application results) only for them to tell me “my FiCO score wasn’t high enough” when in fact I have a higher Credit score than the normal requirements. I was sent on a wild goose chase for nothing and now me and my partner are basically HOMELESS because we wasted our time and money waiting on this place to approve us. I was referred by a friend of the family and this was a really big disappointment to me.

I was sold on lies & empty promises.DO NOT MOVE HERE.The management/front office team is so far beyond incompetent at their jobs its scary. But one individual in particular, the sales rep Joe Danieri, is the very definition of a con man. DO NOT PURCHASE A HOME FROM HIM.While looking for homes to purchase I spoke with him & he enticed me into the process of purchasing a used mobile home by offering me a great promotion (a cash match for whatever I put down on purchasing the home of up to $3000). Mid way through the process he informs me that promotion is no longer available. Though to compensate for this he can offer me 3 months free of the lot rent ($400+) with the approval of his boss & foolishly I moved forward with the sale.After 2 incorrect billing invoices in a row (keep in mind weve only lived here for 2 months) Im now being told that the 3 months free of lot rent was not approved by upper management & instead I was given 2 which is standard for anyone purchasing a home here. So I went from $3800 to $1200 to $800 as my promotion & it was all promised to me with a smile. Sure wouldve been nice to be informed this huh? Not even one phone call or a lousy email to be informed of this I just happened to find out because my bill was incorrect. You can sure bet that he had no problem communicating with me while I was in the process of purchasing the home.To top it off, when were showed the home it had several issues (mold damage, chewed blinds, chipped paint, paint splotches, etc). Joe informed us that maintenance would resolve these issues before the sale was completed. This was not the case as when we moved nothing had be fixed whatsoever. After a couple weeks of communicating via phone, email, in person at the office, these issues, were finally resolved when I stopped one of the maintenance men & made them aware of the situation myself.I also have a storage shed sitting on my $400+ a month lot, do you think it comes with it? No, its $55. Do you have 2 vehicles? I hope you like blocking in the other as you have to park one in front of the other despite having plenty of room to do so all because of arbitrary rule of parking in the grass on your own lot! Keep in mind their definition of parking in the grass is two wheels their words).The community itself is well maintained & the neighbors are great but the management is so infuriating to deal with I wouldnt wish my worst enemy to live here.

Clean, quiet and good location.

Its very nice and quiet and my aunts been staying there for years

Horrible staff. A bunch of liars and very unprofessional people. Do not rent out here let alone buy a home unless you have an attorney to back you up!

The place is nice for a disabled person,they do everything.

Please do not waste your time with this property. From staff to managers, they are very unprofessional and rude. If you stuck there with 1 year contract, you will regret for a whole year. Do yourselves a favor of not living there. That is my advice

Great ppl great neiborhood

Nice enough place to live, but there are to many yard restrictions. I suppose it has to be that way, but its not to my liking. Otherwise, its a nice place with a pool and playsound.

Great place to live

Had a miscommunication when I first got into the place in which I was charged twice for the rent and this was in February... even with my bank statements clear as day stating the money was withdrawn out of my account and never replaced it’s not “enough”? Needing a letter from my bank?! How ridiculously insane is that, do yourself a favor and stay away. The couple hundreds dollars less on rent is not worth it.

Good management. Nice and sunny.

Quiet neighborhood

One of the reasons its not easy to rent in Gainesville. Went to look at a trailer for rent. The trail looked like it need a lot of work and smelled like it was not maintained. The rent for the quality of the trailer was crazy. They act like they are renting out high end apartments. Yet they are renting what looks like low end.

Quiet Community

Extremely disgusted on my experience living at the Palms Of Archer. They lie to you, ask to speak with property manager ... They direct you to leasing agents. They are rude, money hungry and needs new management... From property manager all the way down to maintenance workers !!WILL NEVER RECOMMEND!!! IF I COULD GIVE IT A 0 I WOULD HAVE ***STAY AWAY*** I SHOULD HAVE!!! but I ignored the comments.

So thats where my dog went.Park is under good maintenance and management currently. Nicer mobile homes than most parks. Clean pool.

The maintenance man was the nicest man I have ever met it was Hillary something

Nice Place. They Come Fix Anything U Ask To Be Fixed. Good Management. I Only Talk To Corey & Sometimes Justin. They Seem To Be The Only Trustworthy People In The Office. The Only Thing I Dislike Is The Price Keeps Going Up. Makes It Expensive To Live Here. Must Be Politics.

The staff are always welcoming. The residents are also kind and keep to themselves. The pool is beautiful and they always are open during the season. Work orders are done in a timely fashion. Overall fantastic place to live.

Disgusting management practices. I would absolutely not recommend living here. They will find any way to evict you and keep your deposit. DO NOT MOVE HERE, especially if you’re elderly.An 84 year old man who has been living here for years was evicted for late rent. He has been paying a $75 late for the past six years because his social security check comes later in the month. Now all of a sudden it’s not okay for him to pay his rent later in the month so you evict him? Disgusting! Where is the compassion.DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!

Ok for a mobile home park

Please go out and visit palms of archer and purchase or rent a home with one of their staffs. They have awesome customer service and a willingness to work with you to find a perfect reasonable priced home. I had a great experience with them. Within a week I was closing and moved in. I had no problem and they were able to do adjustments and I was super satisfied with everything. Please please stop by and see Cory McDonough salesmen for your next home.

Office staff is extremely rude and will not listen to a word you say. And when they do they will call you a liar and threaten to evict you when you refuse to accept thier lies and excuses. Maintenance will enter your apartment even when given prior notice to contact first. When you call and ask why you where not contacted, they will use thier gold key service as a excuse to enter your home no matter what even when no 24 hour notice was given. When that was brought up I was told they were done and the wind must of blown it away. I would highly recommended contacting corporate office if you want even the simplest of work orders done because the ladies in the office of Palms of Archer will not listen to you nor will they do anything to fix a situation. They will only make up lies amd tell you that you are lying.

Palms of Archer is definitely a huge turnaround from the old Arredondo Farms. The property management team has worked hard cleaning up the neighborhood and providing great service to its tenants. Within the walls of my home, I loved it. Beautiful trailer, affordable Clay Electric, and consistent lawn maintenance. Any issue that came up with the home was addressed with prompt and polite attention. The gold key service is a great bonus! All that being said, why only 4 stars? It is still a trailer park. It does attract a certain caliber of residents. You will hear loud voices, you will hear bass music driving by all hours of the day and night (not fun if you have a baby) and you will see some poorly hidden illegal activity. This can be said for any neighborhood offering competitive rental rates. Within my home, I absolutely loved it. The neighbors, however, were less than ideal. Id suggest meeting the direct neighbors to the lot youre considering before signing the contract. As far as property management customer service and general condition of the home itself, 5 stars.

These guys go above and beyond for their residents and future customers. I wouldnt of bought a home here for my family of 6 if it wasnt for Cory, Kate, and the Palms of Archer staff. I recommend this place if youre looking to be in a growing area and great rating schools.

We currently live here. The staff is great especially Cory. They have bent over backward to help us buy our home. They worked with us letting us rent first while waiting to close. Every time we have needed anything looked at they have been on top of things and fixed everything that needed it. I highly recommend them.

Changing the name doesnt mean their reputation from Arredondo Farms is wiped clean. They have cleared out some of the more ghetto residents but not all. Good luck on finding a time to go to the pool when its not filled with unsupervised kids who act like animals. However, many of the residents are friendly and the place is well kept. If you like quiet areas, I suggest you ask for a lot in the back

Slum lords dream! Typical trailer park and trailer park drama everywhere. Was only there for 20 minutes and was embarrassed to know I was even there.

Overall this is a nice and safe place to live. One of the nicest parks in Gainesville. One problem persists. The road in front of my familys home floods everytime it rains. Please fix this problem! Thank yiu

Hard a heck to find a house in this place... Hate it. Need a better system to find numbers.. Horrible...

Well kept community. Fast response maintenance crew. They Pressure wash the homes. Sidewalks being pressure washed too. Quiet neighborhood,I have a pet and never had any issues . I definitely recommend this place .

Great place all around

Good customer service from Cory and the receptionist. I cannot remember her name. Nice community overall.

The office staff are great. Just need little more control over the community areas.

Really clean pretty easy to find your way around Tucson community and if you compare it to the other trailer parks of Gainesville such as Arredondo or Hidden Oaks then this place would be considered immaculate.

Very nice neighborhood, friendly handymen. Needs a field in the back for dogs. Always lawn maintenanced! But trailers are too close!

Yes, the park is clean. They have made some great improvement to the common areas, a new playground, updated pool, mail area, etc. However, the park residents leave much to be desired. This is, after all, a trailer park. You have the lowest rent prices for a home of this size in Gainesville. The renters reflect that population. Loud, trash in yards, children running around unsupervised, teens at all hours of the night walking around and parents that just dont care. Most of the time it is whose system is louder than the other neighbor when it comes to noise. The office staff are very nice and will do anything to get you into a home. However, once you are in that home expect very little respect after. Need maintenance? They will come, on their own time without scheduling an appointment. It is very much like they own the home and can come whenever they want, you just rent from them. There are benefits and drawback to renting here. Think about what kind of noise and area you are OK living in before making a decision.

They tell you one thing and do something else. The managing committee is a total fraud. We rented an apartment and when I got into it every other thing was broken. They gave me a broken handle refrigerator and told as it works so I should not have complained! All the door knobs were loose and some of them were even broken. The unit was full of roaches and when I told that, they said it was okay because they werent alive. Where I myself killed them. One toilet had no seat and they said you have another toilet so no problem. None of the basins had strainer and they dont even care. Vinyl floor was broken and what not! Their managing team response seemed like we did something very wrong to point those fault. They are very rude and ill mannered.

Its a very quiet place to live,very kids friendly, very nice manager and staff, can sleep with your window open all night and thats a plus. And one more thing very clean, with all the dogs owners they still try to keep it clean, long as they keep clean up behind there dogs I will give it a five star on my next review. Peace.

I live here. It isnt the best but whatever.

My family just finished out a 1yr leasing contract with The Palms of Archer and, I must say, we couldnt have chosen a better place to do so. My wife and I are foster parents, and were told we had 12 days to find a new place to accomodate us both, our eldest, foster daughter and our son on the way . Desperately scrambling and touring diff. communities, we came upon The Palms of Archer and upon hearing our plight, scheduled us in for a tour, and set us up with a beautiful 2018 3/2 mobile home! The community is peaceful and quiet, most of the neighborhood kids all know and play with each other, and residents are typically friendly and will smile and wave. Management is run by Corey, who is phenomenal at his job! Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring... Knew all my kids by name and anytime we ever needed anything, he was always an email or a phone call away! Truly vested, and sometimes, he would even step away from his office duties and come out personally to ensure we were good to go! Goodbye to HOA fees or fueling any lawnmowers because inclueded in your rent is lawncare as well! Invaluable service! And the maintenance team typically handled all concerns within 2 days, assuming they had the supplies on hand (bulbs, etc). All in all, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy or rent comfortably and affordably, to check out The Palms of Archer!

This place is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend living here. No parking tags, recycling center, w/d hookups and no stupid pet deposit!

Much improved management, close to UF and nearby grocery/pharmacy. Better water and safer community. Rent or own. Office closes at 5 to 6pm staff is friendly and will work with you.

I’ve lived here years back and it was way worse but the lot rent was only $250 now it’s close to $500. My bf just paid off his home and now he has to fix anything that breaks, which is one thing after another and even though he don’t have a mortgage payment, he might as well buy a house with the $500 lot rent !! Way to high for a lot!! They are so close together. We should get way more room for that price ! The office staff is friendly and they did clean up the park a lot! Thank god!but lot rent to high ‘

My mother lives there and the grounds are always trimmed and looking great quiet and clean.

Love living HERE....Some mobile sites like ANY WHERE else..by ownership..some are VERY VERY rundown...but they really keep up with the beauty of change and getting rid of the rubbish THAT PEOPLE LEAVE around.Has been VERY VERY peaceful here for me.. I am glad to call the Palms my HOME PLACE.

Great staff, well kept place to live have heard allot of great reviews from my friends bought this place

Sleazy Salesmen and overpriced. Big drug neighborhood. Sheriffs Dept. In and out frequently. Ive worked two jobs overnight within visual distance of the property and wouldnt recommend it unless your a crime boss

Very nice mobile homes. Clean and quiet neighborhood. I love it out here.

They really cleaned this place up. Its amazing. Corey is amazing. We had a problem with the place we got, half of the place didnt have power. And even though we were frustrated and had to wait a few days he was still so nice and understanding and was trying all he could to fix it. Maintenance is also really nice here :)

The staff and management here ar phenomenal! They have worked with us from day one, have made sure any and all requests were taken care of, made sure we were happy, and have always been in contact with us when something was going on. The place we are renting is beautiful, aside from an electrical issue when we first moved in, no problems. The staff is always friendly and ready to help, and the community manager is eager to know the tenants. A+ keep up the good work!

Just took some furniture there for someone a simple mobil home park kinda cozy

Was looking to rent but they were pretty booked up but staff was helpful and friendly and grounds were clean and well kept.

Glad my parents moved out. It would be a better park if the management would get people to keep their kids and pets in check. On one occasion we went to the pool with my kids and mom and there were children not only cussing like sailors they were throwing random objects into the pool. Dogs and Cats run around like a zoo in the place and the constant racing up and down the main roads is super dangerous

This is not your grandaddys trailer park. Imagine a luxury trailer park with large streets, clean yards and no random toys strewn about the all too close yards. That is this place. Space does come at a premium and sadly you will pay dearly to live here. Nevertheless an overall nice place close to the very luxurious Haile Plantation planned community.

I think they are a very nice Community very safe community the only thing I would change is knowing more other things once something is going to come available they only know 2 months in ahead of time if somethings going to come available they need to do it like 5 or 6 months ahead of time

We have delivered many mattresses and furniture here. We have always had a great rapport with The Palms Of Archer community. Mention this review for 10% off and free delivery.

Not worth the cheap rent, pay a little more and go somewhere else. They will try to force you to buy the home you just want to rent so they dont have to do the needed repairs the last tenant complained about. They will ignore you when you contact them for repairs that are needed in your home. If you push they will try to evict you. Lazy people in the office who try to get away with doing the least amount of work possible. The main office in Colorado is the same way, they dont return calls or respond to letters. Horrible company all the way around.

Very nice people at the office, and they keep the community clean and quiet neighborhood.

Gave out in accurate rental info..but the staff are friendly and the place looks nice

Lived here over 10 years now.

Very good

Need to make the lot number bigger to see.

Very pleasant neighborhood clean and well kept and u are not too close to your neighbors

Place is falling apart

Clean, well maintained grounds and pool... Not so great at fixing my home :(

Nice place to live at, decent size pool for the community and great prices for mobile home rentals or purchases.

Moved in Palms of Archer 3 months ago and absolutely love this place .Love the staff have no complaints . Everything I have needed help with so far has been done rapidly with no delay, would recommend this place for any and everyone that is looking for a family oriented surrounding.

Staff is wonderful and very helpful !! I have also found it very peaceful and clean !!

Its the western armpit of Gainesville. Grace Marketplace is the eastern armpit...

The residents are nice and sociable it was a clean community with accessable facilitys for recycling,b ball, and on site maintenance and lawn care close to shopping centers as well.

Palms Of Archer is a place you should defiantly avoid. The neighbors here are annoying as hell. The kids who speak spanish dont know how to control their volume and cause massive headaches through out the place. Most of the familys dads and moms dont know how to control their kids resulting in harrasment in the pool and in the park. One of the kids even threw rocks at another kid because he was white. The bus driver who picks up this stop is annoying lady who puts on the ricky smiley morning show which drives people insane and yells at kids for reading a book. Just dont go there. trust me.

Great place to live been living there since 2007

Nice park

Great neighborhood but hard to get things fixed but they dont hesitate to go up on rent every year

Maintenance staff is great office personal needs a over haul.

Nice place, nice people well kept park

Clean and not run down at all... Easy to locate the house your looking for..

Its actually been a really nice neighborhood and neighbors are hella friendly. Took off a star cause they can be a bit slow on work orders sometimes, but not often.

My place was not ready at move in time and its just a headache to get someone over when there is something broken

Ive lived here for 8 years. Management has changed but its a decent place to live.

Awful they are discrimators and very hateful management unprofessional

Home

Live there. Clean friendly well maintained

Nice homes

The neighbors are quiet the kids are friendly its clean comfortable have been living here for 12 years and the staff are the best!

Good place, affordable rates and has a club pool. A+

This mobile home park management makes a lot of empty promises. They see a Latino and theyll hike up the prices in there mobile homes they have for sale.

Nice clean, well maintained mobile home park.

My worse nightmare. I owned my own double wide and prepaid a year in advance in the lot rent. Then they raised the rent 1/2 ways thru. Then raised again and then a third time in 2 years. My lease provided for RV parking in a designated area and then they told me I could not keep my RV in the park. They charge for water even if you go away as a minimum charge they had people looking in the windows of my camper to see if anyone was staying there which no one was and then told me I cant have an RV. Water line broke from the ground and they made me pay repairs on their lines. Some official there complained to my wife that there were electric wires sticking up out of the ground on our lot and these were left from the park when they took out an old trailer and we were told we would get written up for it.Twice a year neighbors blow off fireworks all night until 4 am. Fireworks hit my car and roof. They sayNo fireworks allowed and yet do nothing to fix the issue. Their trees drop pine needles all over my new roof and they charges me $75 to clean them off. I authorized them to power wash my house and before they did they charged $75 but before the job was started sent me a notice that I was delinquent on my rent by $75 and had 24 hours to pay it. When I called they said oh we had no place to bill you for the work we were going to do so we just put itInto the delinque account category so just ignor the letter we taped to your doorFinally sold the place for a lose just to get away from there. It took over 3 months to get my deposit back. They go thru managers like crazy there. Raise rents at will ( but claim they can do that as long as they provide notice) like I had a choice being that I owned the house. And they dont allow outside realtors to sell your home. You are stuck with their sales team another nightmare. Offer after offer was accepted and then they say the buyers cant qualify till finally I end up dropping from 38.5k to settling for 22.5. All because they dont handle things right I suggest not ever living there if you can avoid it. Looks up reviews for the company there are many bad reviews out there

Very clean and quiet

You can buy the mobile homes but you cant buy the land.

I was never there I dont understand why this even showed up on my phone but they need to get there accuracy down cuz I was never at the palms of whatever

They can change their name, but they cant change their ghetto

The park appeared to be clean & well maintained.
