***** Its interesting (and quite frankly, comical), how, all of the sudden, after over a YEAR, with zero reviews, this place is getting multiple five star reviews. (By a struggling seller, an employee, and people who also rate Aldi, Subway, and Pollo Tropical! Lol.) The property is NOT popular and hasnt been, in years. About six months ago, a prominent resident there sent out a blast email to all The Capri residents, saying that Ms Mendoza recently stopped by, and told her The Capri is so poorly maintained and dated, that it is no longer considered a high-end or luxury property by agents, and buyers arent asking for it. When I moved in, four YEARS ago, I asked for a light fixture on the balcony ceiling that is broken to be replaced. It is completely missing the outer decorative part. (Only the rusted-out inner shell and the broken bulb remain.) The manager told me it had been like that for eight years, and she was not going to do anything about it. And she hasnt! I did like a few of the residents and some of the staff, but overall, the place is very pretentious, unfriendly, and phony. Lots of inner-fighting between residents and favoritism, by the staff. Some residents are permitted to walk their dogs all over the property, urinating on the lobby entrance planters and on the bay walk light poles, and to let them run through the lobby without a leash. However, there is a strict rule that dogs must always be leashed. During Covid, there was a two person limit in the gym, and NO trainers allowed, period. However, I had to wait in the lobby for one of their favorite residents to use the gym with his trainer. (This particular resident apparently spent half the nights chitchatting with the desk clerks.) When I questioned this, the desk clerk told me the trainer lives here. You guessed it, they did not and never had lived there. (They of course knew that.) Then to get rid of me, the desk clerk simply said they didnt feel comfortable asking the trainer to leave. (But they were perfectly comfortable lying to me and making an owner and a resident wait?) Furthermore, I feel the need to correct Ms Mendoza about the real neighborhood assertion she makes. Both the streets, leading to The Capri (16th and Lincoln Terrace) are completely lined with rundown airbnb nightly rentals. They are rented by a rowdy out-of-town crowd, here to party, play loud music, and trash the streets with broken liquor bottles. When I walked my dog early in the morning, they were just getting back from the bars. Thats the main reason I ditched it. Management also seems to turn a blind eye to short term rentals. Apparently, if you are personally liked (Highest tipper during the holidays?), you can do it. An agent who actively works The Capri brought several short term contracts to me, for my place. When I questioned it, they told me Dont worry. I know what to tell her and what to do. I had a neighbor there for about six weeks. The condo docs specify six MONTH minimum. I did not like that, and they didnt care. Although I had high hopes in the beginning, I felt the need to leave. It wasnt worth the high condo fees, derelict surroundings, or frustration. Luckily, I bought low and was able to unload it. Wait until they need to pay for major repairs or upgrades to the bay-walk and the seawall. They are responsible for that and for insuring it, even though it is open to the public. (Yes, believe it or not. Most other properties on the bay have exclusive use of it.) Ohhh, nooo, not The Capri! How did that happen? Here are photos of the main entrance of The Capri Piccola, and of The Capri Marina Grande. It has looked like this for years.
