UPDATED: (videos attached) Hello Evo Management, I appreciate the response and, as I mentioned in my review, I have no problem with the new leasing team. They have been friendly and professional throughout this process. My issue is not with them—it is with the fact that I was blatantly misled about the construction timeline when I signed my lease. I specifically asked about construction before signing in August 2023 because it was a deciding factor in whether I would live here. I was assured that construction would not begin until the last month of my lease (October/November 2024). That turned out to be completely false, and the reality was that my unit became unlivable due to excessive noise, shaking, and disruption starting way earlier than what was promised. By not allowing me to leave freely and instead forcing me to pay an early termination fee under these circumstances, Evo has put me in an extremely unjust position. I was misled into signing this lease based on false information, and I refuse to simply accept the financial burden for a situation that was not my fault. I am demanding that my refund be processed in full. I exercised my right to terminate the lease only because the conditions I was promised did not hold true. If Evo Apartments truly values transparency and fairness, then I expect this to be resolved accordingly. (Previous) DO NOT MOVE HERE – Worst Living Experience Ever If I could give zero stars, I would. Evo Apartments has been a complete disaster, and I regret ever signing a lease here. We were flat-out lied to by the leasing team at the time when we toured in August 2023. We specifically asked about the construction across from our unit because we didn’t want to deal with noise. They assured us it wouldn’t start until October/November 2024, AFTER our lease was up (we signed the lease from November 2023-November 2024). That was completely false. Construction started way earlier, and it made our apartment unlivable. The noise was so unbearable—6 AM to 8 PM nonstop, our walls shook, my chandelier was swinging, and a picture frame even fell off the wall. I couldn’t even work from home, which is how I make my living. Because of this, we had no choice but to break our lease, costing us $6,400—all because we were tricked into signing in the first place. We even reached out to Evo’s ownership to ask for an exception so we wouldn’t have to pay this ridiculous fee for something that wasn’t our fault, and they didn’t even bother responding. Instead, they had the new leasing manager email us. The new leasing team is nice, and I don’t have a problem with them personally, but the fact remains that we were misled and financially trapped in a lease we had to pay thousands of dollars to get out of. “LUXURY” AMENITIES? MORE LIKE CONSTANTLY BROKEN One of the biggest reasons we chose Evo over Ascent was the amenities. Turns out, that was another scam. The sauna and hot tub? Out of order for weeks at a time. The elevators? Constantly breaking down, making us wait 5+ minutes just to get on one. The garage door? Left wide open for over two weeks. The front door? Broken for weeks, forcing residents to enter through the loading dock. My girlfriend had to walk through a dark alleyway at night just to get inside while I was traveling for work—completely unsafe. DIRTY, UNMAINTAINED, AND NOT WORTH THE PRICE For the amount of money Evo charges, this place should at least be clean. The stairwells and common areas are disgusting, and it’s clear maintenance is not a priority. I have photo proof of the filth. I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK Evo Apartments is a scam. They lied to us, trapped us in a lease under false pretenses, and then forced us to pay thousands of dollars just to escape the misery they caused. If the owners had any decency, they would refund us the early termination fee in full. If Evo is willing to make this right and refund us, I will be happy to take down all reviews. But until then, I will make sure everyone knows how Evo treats its residents. Do not move here.

Ive had such a great experience living at this apartment complex, and a huge part of that is thanks to Jada! From the very beginning, she’s been incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely kind. She went out of her way to make the move-in process smooth and stress free. EVO is truly the best complex in St Pete. I love being able to walk just about anywhere- my favorite coffee shops, restaurants, shops etc. The stunning interior is what drew me in and chic finishes are up to date and trendy. The amenities are top tier and I find myself always using the sauna and rooftop gym. Jada truly cares about the residents, she’s responsive, attentive, and always follows through. Whether it’s handling a maintenance request or just checking in, she makes you feel like more than just a tenant. Her friendly and welcoming energy makes the whole community feel more like home. If you’re thinking about moving in, ask for Jada. She’s the best!

I’ve waited a couple of months before writing this review, and I can confidently say—I absolutely love living at Evo. The building, the people, and the views are all incredible. From the moment we moved in, the management team has been fantastic. Ryan, our leasing agent, was amazing and patient throughout the process, and I’ve also had great experiences with Jada and Jessica, who are both incredibly helpful and kind. The cleaning staff is on point, The amenities are top-tier: I love the pool area, the office space, the coffee station, the gym, the sauna, and the private dining room (which I recently used for a small networking event, and it went incredible!). Living here truly feels like a dream, and the community is just as great—I’ve met some amazing people who have become friends. A couple of areas for improvement: The open parking garage is convenient, but without assigned spaces, I sometimes forget where I parked, which has led to some 20 minute scavenger hunts. (My solution? Jotting down my parking level in my phone notes.) The dog area is on the smaller side, but there are plenty of nearby places for walks, so it’s not a big issue. The community events are also a great way to meet people. Overall, I have genuine love for this building, and it’s been an absolute pleasure living here. Highly recommend!
