Encompassing the entire west side of Florida State University, the University neighborhood consists of several smaller neighborhoods, like Amelia Circle, Elberta Empire, and Mabry Manor. The neighborhood stretches from just north of Highway 90 south toward Seminole Golf Course and Club. Because it is so close to campus, University consists of a variety of housing -- ranch-style houses, townhomes, apartment communities, and student housing developments help make this eclectic area even more interesting. Mature trees shade the streets, and residential areas with cul-de-sacs create a suburban feel to this downtown neighborhood. Residents enjoy proximity to Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium, home of the Seminoles football team.

Property Ratings at The Capitol
When we are call to enquiry about the apartments, no response .I tried several times no response, left the message no response.
The staff were not only amazing, but they provided a great tour along with plenty of information on the questions I asked.
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
Hello Mickelia, thank you for your positive feedback. We're thrilled to know our staff was able to provide a great tour and answer all your questions about The Capitol. It's our goal to ensure every prospective resident leaves with all the information they need. Thanks for sharing your experience!
This property is very unsanitary! the apartments are infested with roaches and management does nothing to eliminate this situation. They try to charge you for damages that exist at the apartment prior to move in even with evidence to support your claim. Stay away from this property, believe me when I tell you it will be a nightmare!!!
During my stay at this apartment complex, I had many regrettable experiences due to the lack of safety measures or basic hygiene. The building and apartments are in disrepair, with broken windows, mold, and doors that don't shut correctly. The absence of management throughout my lease made me feel neglected, and I had concerns about my safety. The parking lot was dimly lit, which increased my anxiety about the possibility of a break-in. I wouldn't advise anyone to rent here, particularly if they value their safety, health, and well-being.

Arline, we're very sorry to see this review. Although it happens infrequently, we never like to hear that a resident departed their apartment with negative feelings about our community and our service. We wish you the best of luck in your new home. Thank you.
I love my neighbors and how quiet my area is on property
torchlight is one of the cheapest apartments in tallahassee and they provide impeccable service everything is done in a timely manner and they are also very friendly and will help you with any questions that you have.

Thanks for the 5 stars! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Please let us know if we can do something to make your experience even better!
Love the 2x2 1/2 set up. The common area is super spacious for friends & family to come and hangout for game days. It’s close to a shopping plaza so I don’t have to go far to do my grocery shopping.
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
We’re happy that you’re happy! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a positive review. We’re so thankful for residents like you.

Thanks for being a part of Torchlight! We can’t wait to share your positive feedback with the rest of the team. We hope to continue to provide you with a quality experience.
the property is pretty big and kept clean throughout the year. Resident are nice and pet friendly. plenty of parking for you and your friends. Make sure to get them registered!!
I went to the bingo event in February and it was great. Nice refreshments and prizes!
The units are spacious & so are the rooms especially the downstairs bedroom, though the downstairs bathroom is a bit smaller than the rest. The maintenance will come and fix whatever it is you request to be faced within a decent time and the front office employees are very kind and respectful.

Hello Karla, Thank you for the awesome review! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying your experience at Torchlight Townhomes and we love having you as part of our community! Torchlight Townhomes
In my opinion, for the price & the fact that it’s student housing it isn’t too bad. When you move in there may be a few things that needs fixing from a previous renter but maintenance is always available & comes pretty quick. Front office is super friendly & the neighborhood is quiet.

1/24/2021 My daughters apartment is filled with mold. The main filter was recently changed, and it is filled with dirt and mold (about 1/2 inch thick). Mold is now present on one wall, above a vent. The washer wasn’t draining. Sat full of water with clothes in it for a few days. Maintenance came to extract the water, but left some at the bottom. It’s been almost two weeks now without a washer. Maintenance is in no hurry to address her complaints. These complaints are just the tip of the iceberg. If I could attach photos, I would. I’m seriously contemplating legal action, so please, avoid this mold infested disgusting dump. (I only gave it one star because I had to pick something)
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your feedback. We strive for the best customer service and apologize we did not meet the expectation. We’d love to make this up to you and discuss your concerns in person to assure they are taken care of correctly. Please contact us at (850) 309-0100 and ask to speak with Gaylan.
I had to find a last minute apartment, and even though the office was busy with move-out everyone was very friendly in helping me find an apartment that was a good fit for me. Thanks torchlight!
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
Thank you! We love hearing that you enjoyed your experience with us! We can't wait to have you here at Torchlight!!
I knew I made a horrible decision. I signed because of the "lower prices" and because the apartment itself wasn't too bad, but the utility bill is always SO high, Wi-Fi NEVER works, maintenance is slow (expect to wait MONTHS to get anything fixed), and I am sick of the constant unannounced maintenance checks. At least inform me the day that they're coming??? This is why I am finally writing a review because I feel like my space has been invaded whenever they just come in without a previous email/announcement. Also, my packages would come on a day but torchlight wouldn't update that I can pick it up until AFTER the front office is closed??? Please don't sign here, I promise there are other places that are leagues above torchlight. The front office is the only redeeming factor because the staff are nice aside from the unannounced maintenance people.
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your feedback. It is our goal is to provide the best possible service and we are truly sorry that your experience was less than satisfactory. Our team would be happy to speak with you and resolve the issues you are having. Please contact Gaylan at (850) 309-0100 at your earliest convenience.
Although the people working at Torchlight have been mostly nice and helpful, staying at this place was a nightmare. - When I moved into the place was disgusting. No one had cleaned the living area in years. The oven was damaged. The cabinets were damaged. The couch was torn to shreds. My room had stains everywhere and a damaged carpet. - Facilities weren't maintained. The pool turned green one time because it hadn't been cleaned in so long. Only one treadmill worked the time I was there. Half of the year the gate was either broken or just open for anybody. - When I moved out they tried to pin the damage to the living area on me which I clearly marked in the form checking in. After disputing that and paying whatever was left, I get a text 2 months later accusing me I never paid it and I was going to be sent to collections unless I did. Again I had to dispute it. Like I said before, the staff here was usually very nice and helpful but it doesn't make up for the conditions and the administrative problems I experienced. You can find a much better place for cheaper I promise you. I don't know how but this place continues to be a headache for me even after I moved out over 2 months ago.
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your insight and providing your feedback on our review outlets, Dylan. It's feedback like this that has prompted an overarching change of operations and workflow around Torchlight over the past few months, and we can't thank you enough for being detailed in your observations. Our general manager James took over in late July and has been hard at work identifying areas of the property that need addressing, such as the pool cleaning and billing concerns of the past years. While we can't speak to your move-in experience, we do want to apologize for the billing concerns you'd underwent regarding the charges to the couch, and hope that everything has since been squared away for you financially. If not, please don't hesitate to call James, Gaylan or any member of our team. We wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope that we can continue the positive route forward for this property with your insight.
I am the Mom of a young man who is a student at FSU. We ran into a bit of a situation with the leasing process and although they did not have to, they showed kindness and grace in helping us come to a good resolution. Thank you torchlight and Ms. Issabella. We really appreciate you! Cheryl
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
So grateful for your feedback, Cheryl. Thank you for commenting on our team's and Issabella's willingness to go above and beyond. We're glad to have your son with us for an exciting year.
Torchlight townhomes is in the best place to stay . The prices are OK but there’s mold and some of the apartments come without TVs . The staff upfront are not that helpful and they do not get things done on time .
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
We are disappointed to learn that you have had a negative experience, as that is not what we strive for at Torchlight. Unfortunately, we cannot locate you in our system. Please come by our office, or contact us by phone, so we can identify you, as well as address your concerns accordingly. We look forward to speaking with you! Best,Torchlight Management
My son signed a lease in January and in 1" letters at the top of the application wrote "ALLERGIC TO CATS", his roommate has had illegal cats in the unit since January causing my son to have allergic reactions daily for months(rashes, swollen eyes, etc). He has been crashing at friends' places for months to avoid them. The office refuses to move him into a another unit unless he pays $250.00 fee. He even renewed for next year and has to stay in the same unit. Office staff say the cats are illegal and should be gone in a few days but the cat hair is in the apartment, the carpet, the washer, the cats go in his room anytime he leaves the door open. Because no one claims the cats or the damaged they have done we are getting hit with a illegal animal fee.
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
We regret to learn that your son has had a negative experience with us. We were informed on Friday, 6/8/18 of the illegal animals in the unit, and the mess that they were causing. We walked the unit the same day, found his allegations to be true, and sent the apartment a seven day notice to cure (per Florida law), as well as issued a significant fine for the pets being there. After being notified of the illegal pets, your son requested that we waive his transfer fee; however, the transfer request was submitted weeks ago with the reasoning “to live with other friends” selected and he did not mention the illegal pets. We are willing/able to accommodate his transfer request and offered to cut the fee in half only as courtesy. He does not have to stay in the same unit. Once the animals are removed, we would have the apartment leaned and the common area carpet replaced due to the condition that they are in. This option was not discussed in office; however, we would not do it until the animals are removed. We appreciate your feedback!Best,Torchlight Management
My son stayed here and they are a bunch of professional rip-off artists. Each month they add utility overage fees with no actual statement from the utility company. At move out they charge the tenant for professional carpet cleaning (if the tenant doesn't hire cleaners themselves) even though state law does not allow landlords to do so for normal wear and tear. (The carpets were not damaged or dirty beyond normal use.) Read the other reviews and AVOID this place!
Property Manager at The Capitol, Responded To This Review
Hello,We are disappointed to hear that your son had a negative experience at Torchlight. All residents are able to access their utility bill online at tal.gov, which details the charges. We are unable to address his specific account as you have not provided a name. If you have any further concerns, please reach out to us at 850.309.0100. Best, Torchlight Management.
I lived here from August 2016 to March 2017 and lemme tell you, it's expensive for the filth you get! We moved in and there's wood rot under the whole counter(literally falling apart), the dishwasher, sink, and oven were rusty, the carpet and tile hadn't been cleaned AT ALL, and many things were broken and not up to par. My room window didn't even shut all the way or lock. It's got a nice amount of space, but it's just a huge DIY project. I finally subleased 2 months ago and still have not received my refund check because they changed names (used to be University Club Townhomes) and lost my paperwork. Not my fault! I need my check! Anyways, just do yourself a favor and don't rent at this overly expensive, disorganized, and dirty place.
