Property Snapshot
Tivoli Park sits at the Broward–Palm Beach county line, just off I-95, managed by Investments Limited under five branded sub-communities: Lakes Club, Terrace, Siesta Key, Springs, and Courtyards. Apartments.com’s property-info panel lists the building as built in 1990 with 1,504 units across two stories; Zillow’s listing for the same address states 1970.
Why do sources disagree on how old this building is? Apartments.com states 1990; Zillow states 1970 for the same 927 Siesta Key Blvd address. Neither cites a public record, and Broward County’s parcel-search tool is form-driven with no linkable result page for this address, so the gap can’t be settled from public sources alone. Treat it as unresolved, and ask the leasing office for the certificate of occupancy if the construction date matters to your decision.
The 5 Neighborhoods Compared
| Neighborhood | Bed / Bath | Price range | Sq ft | Distinct feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Springs | 1/1 | $1,740–$1,870 | 707–807 | Sunken living rooms in select units |
| Siesta Key | 1/1 to 2/2 | $1,780–$2,350 | 800–1,070 | Two racquetball courts, two pools |
| Lakes Club | 1/1 to 2/2 | $1,800–$2,305 | 861–1,070 | Fountain and lake views, jogging trails |
| Terrace | 2/2 | $1,750–$1,955 | 1,070 | Lowest-priced 2-bedroom in the property |
| Courtyards | 1/1 to 2/2 | $1,800–$2,245 | 850–1,150 | Largest floor plans on the property |
Springs and Terrace anchor the low end of both bedroom counts; Courtyards carries the largest square footage at any price point. None of the five is uniformly cheaper or larger across every configuration, so the useful comparison is floor plan to floor plan, not neighborhood to neighborhood.
Pricing and Real Move-In Cost
The advertised “from $1,740” is a Springs 1-bedroom base rent; it excludes the fees due before move-in.
| Fee | Amount | When due |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $100 per applicant | At application |
| Administrative fee | $300 per unit | At move-in |
| Pet fee | $400 per pet, max 2 | At move-in |
A single applicant taking the cheapest available 1-bedroom owes roughly $2,180 before the first month’s rent lands: $1,780 base rent for the lowest advertised Springs unit, plus the $100 application fee and $300 admin fee. Add $400 to $800 more for one or two pets.
On June 1, 2026, ApartmentHomeLiving.com priced Tivoli Park 28.45% below the average of 1,535 nearby communities in its immediate submarket and 32.65% below the citywide Deerfield Beach average. The property competes primarily on price, not on renovation level or amenities.
Is Tivoli Park pet-friendly, and what does it actually cost? Yes: up to two pets, cats with no weight limit, dogs capped at 45 lbs and restricted to non-aggressive breeds, at $400 per pet due at move-in. Emotional-support dogs over 45 lbs need documented basic obedience training on file with the property.
What Residents Actually Say
The 2.2★ average breaks down as 9 five-star, 1 four-star, 2 three-star, 1 two-star, and 24 one-star reviews. Reading the review text on ApartmentHomeLiving.com surfaces three recurring, specific complaints rather than generic dissatisfaction:
- Pest and structural issues: multiple residents describe roach infestations, black mold behind drywall, and termite damage; one long-tenure account calls the maintenance staff responsive even while rating the unit itself one star over the infestation.
- Vehicle and package theft: repeated reports of cars broken into, motorcycles stolen, and mail or packages taken from doorsteps, alongside claims that the property’s visible entry cameras don’t work.
- Inconsistent front-office experience: some reviewers name specific leasing staff over unprofessional handling of application details; others, including a nine-year resident, describe the office and maintenance team as helpful throughout.
The negative reviews concentrate on building condition and security, not on service speed once a ticket is filed; several one-star reviews credit maintenance responsiveness even while rating the unit poorly overall.
What’s the most common complaint in reviews? Pest and mold issues, most often roaches and black mold reported behind drywall, followed closely by vehicle break-ins and non-working security cameras. Maintenance responsiveness is rated inconsistently, but it is not the top complaint category.
Location, Commute and Schools
| Destination | Distance | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Florida Atlantic University | 6.2 mi | 12 min, per Apartments.com’s own data table (the same listing’s marketing copy separately states “10 Mins”) |
| The beach (Deerfield Beach Pier) | – | 7 min, per the property’s marketing copy |
| Broward Health North (nearest hospital) | 3.6 mi | 6 min |
| Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport | 20.0 mi | 28 min |
Walkability scoring differs by provider, not by fact: Apartments.com’s Local Logic score rates the property 50/100 (“Fairly Walkable”) with a Soundscore of 74/100 and “Busy” traffic noise, while Zillow’s Walk Score puts the same address at 14/100 (“Car-Dependent”). Both agree the property is easiest to use by car; the two providers weight walking distance to daily errands differently.
Assigned public schools carry GreatSchools ratings of 6/10 for Deerfield Park Elementary, 3/10 for Deerfield Beach Middle, and 4/10 for Deerfield Beach High.
Application Requirements
- Credit check: confirmed directly below, contradicting the property’s own auto-generated Yelp category tag.
- Application fee: $100 per applicant, non-refundable, due before a decision is issued.
- Lease term: 7 to 13 months, per the current leasing terms on file with Apartments.com.
Does Tivoli Park run a credit check? Yes. Yelp’s resident Q&A confirms it directly, even though the same listing carries an automated “No Credit Check Apartments” tag elsewhere on the page. Treat that tag as a platform error, not a policy.
Who Each Neighborhood Suits
- Springs: the lowest entry price on the property, best for a single renter or FAU student prioritizing budget over square footage.
- Terrace: the cheapest 2-bedroom on the property, a fit for two roommates splitting rent on a fixed budget.
- Lakes Club: lake-facing units and jogging trails suit a renter who works from home and wants outdoor space over indoor square footage.
- Siesta Key: the widest bedroom-count range and highest unit count under one neighborhood name, a reasonable default with no strong sub-community preference.
- Courtyards: the largest floor plans at the property’s top price band, best for a family prioritizing space over the lowest possible rent.
What to Check Before You Tour
- Ask to see a unit’s drywall corners and under-sink cabinetry directly, given how specific the mold and roach complaints are in resident reviews.
- Confirm the entry-gate and hallway cameras are operational, not just mounted, before treating “controlled access” as an actual security feature.
- Walk the assigned parking area at night if possible; vehicle break-ins are a named complaint, not a generic one.
- Verify current pricing and availability directly with the leasing office: every source above notes that rates change without notice, and unit-level availability is listed as “call for availability” throughout.
