Overall Review of Upside Doral

common 22 reviews mention this

Staff service is a mixed story

Residents describe staff who can be very responsive, but some also report poor follow-through.

A large portion of reviews highlight staff members by name for being helpful, professional, and quick to resolve questions or issues, including during the move-in process and when repairs are requested. Other residents, however, criticize communication after management changes, describing unanswered calls/emails, missed follow-ups, and promises that never happen. Even in the positive reviews, parking and access issues come up, which suggests service quality can depend on the situation and the team handling it.

common 18 reviews mention this

Maintenance and cleanliness divide residents

Residents report both well-kept common areas and recurring problems with upkeep.

Some residents praise the building for being clean and well maintained, pointing to maintenance staff responsiveness and care that keeps the property in good condition. Other reviews say common areas fall short, with problems like dirty lobbies/hallways, neglected amenities, and lingering cleanliness issues. A few residents also cite specific operational breakdowns (such as elevators and electricity), which strongly reinforces that day-to-day condition can vary by time and situation.

caveat 16 reviews mention this

Parking is a recurring inconvenience

Parking creates frequent friction, from access problems to extra costs.

Several reviews complain about parking—difficulty using spaces or access controls, and the sense that parking rules and logistics are not user-friendly. Others mention added fees or unexpected charges tied to parking, including residents disputing whether costs were communicated upfront. Even among more positive reviews, parking is singled out as the main drawback, suggesting it stands out against the rest of the experience.

caveat 14 reviews mention this

Management communication concerns linger

Communication problems with management show up repeatedly in negative reviews.

Multiple residents describe frustration with how management handles charges, requests, and follow-ups—especially after a management transition—saying they had to chase answers for weeks or longer. In these negative accounts, residents report being promised callbacks that do not arrive, and some describe being told issues would be addressed only if a review was removed. Positive reviews still point to certain staff handling questions well, but the management-communication theme remains a recurring negative thread.

common 10 reviews mention this

Location is convenient for errands

Residents repeatedly like the walkable, convenient location for dining and shopping.

Many reviews emphasize convenience, describing easy access to nearby restaurants, bars, shops, and services around the Doral CityPlace area. Several also mention proximity to medical facilities and the ease of getting to other parts of the city. The neighborhood is frequently framed as a core reason residents enjoy daily life—even when other aspects like parking or maintenance create challenges.
