Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed but leans positive where new management and recent upgrades are in effect. Reviewers consistently praise the convenient location, large and well-laid-out apartments (notably one-bedroom units with good kitchens, living areas, high ceilings, and natural light), and the breadth of on-site amenities such as a pool, hair salon, library, crafts and movie rooms, and a dog park. Many reviews highlight an active lifestyle offering—regular activities, transportation options, and recreation—which appeals to residents seeking social engagement. Several reviewers explicitly call out friendly and helpful office and leasing staff, and multiple comments single out maintenance personnel as excellent. Under newer management, responsiveness has reportedly improved markedly, with examples including expedited move-in readiness, same-day disposal and AC repairs, and faster general service.
Facilities and amenity quality are frequently mentioned as strong points: ongoing capital improvements like new carpet and replaced common-area furniture indicate investment in the property. The on-site hair salon is noted as convenient and affordable, the pool is a valued feature, and communal rooms support social activity. Multiple reviewers described the property as a beautiful, well-equipped community that offers good value for money, especially after the management changes that improved cleanliness and addressed problems like mold.
However, several significant and recurring concerns should be noted. There are reports of pest infestations (bed bugs and roaches) and accounts of unacceptable cleanliness historically; although some of these problems are described as addressed under new management (mold fixed, improved cleanliness), pests and sanitation remain a red flag and may indicate intermittent or unresolved issues in parts of the property. Building security and basic infrastructure problems were also raised: gates not closing reliably and front-door security concerns create safety worries, and some residents report windows that operate inefficiently. Maintenance is described in two different ways across reviews—either repetitive and slow in older reports or fast and excellent under new management—suggesting variability over time or inconsistent service depending on staff shifts or management periods.
There are mixed reports about the pool: some reviews say it is not heated and receives only weekly cleaning, while others under new management explicitly praise a heated pool that is never crowded. This inconsistency suggests either changes over time, differences between buildings/areas, or conflicting expectations among residents. Connectivity is limited by Wi-Fi being available only in common areas, which could be important for residents who expect in-unit internet access. Financial and transparency concerns appear in the form of lease renewal rate increases and mentions of misleading information, which prospective residents should probe further during touring and leasing discussions.
Another notable theme is the resident profile and the community’s character. Multiple reviewers say the place "feels more like assisted living than 55+," with an emphasis on an elderly/disabled population. That may be a positive for buyers or renters seeking a community with increased care-oriented peers, but it could be a mismatch for those expecting a more active, independent 55+ population. Prospective residents should verify the community rules, resident demographics, and the intended market to ensure alignment with personal preferences.
In summary, Lexington Club at Vero Beach appears to be a community with substantial strengths—good location, large bright apartments, many amenities and activities, and noticeably improved responsiveness and upkeep under newer management. At the same time, there are serious and documented drawbacks that require attention: pest reports, past cleanliness and maintenance inconsistencies, security and window issues, and occasional misleading leasing or rate-change complaints. These mixed signals suggest the property may be in transition: improvements are underway and appreciated by many, but lingering facility and operational problems still affect some residents. Prospective residents should tour the property multiple times, ask specific questions about pest control measures, security and maintenance protocols, in-unit internet availability, pool heating/maintenance, current resident mix, and lease renewal terms to assess whether the current conditions match their expectations and needs.
