    4.5/5 Anonymous on Mar 7, 2022

    Moving to The Latitude at South Portland last year was a great decision for me. The complex is in a middle-of-everyting location that has been very handy. The apartment itself is modern, comfortable, and exactly the amount of space that I need for myself. While I do think that the rental market in the Greater Portland area is grossly overpriced, The Latitude reigns that in a bit to offer their units at more understandable prices than another certain big player in the area. At the time of writing, the complex is still under construction, so there are currently some very minor inconveniences, but nothing worth noting. The staff is very friendly; my dog loves them. And to be frank, they're the only apartment management team that I've ever stopped to say hi to when I see them anywhere I've lived. Very happy with where I've landed.

    Found the Latitude at South Portland while in desperate need for an apartment! With a quick application process and amazing staff, I was moving in just weeks after. The apartments themselves are spacious and depending on the floor plan, are pretty amazing! (The 2 Bed 2 Bath option is great for anyone requiring a roommate) They are dog friendly, which is extremely nice and hard to find. Rent is high, as expected for Maine, but from the location as well as the great amenities it’s well worth it. In other reviews that I have read, is the noise from other tenants may be too much. I am unsure if they are new to the apartment way of living - but it is no different from any other location I have lived and should be expected. Thankful for to have found this place, as the Latitude may be one of the nicest new luxury apartments available in Maine.
