Howell Crossing

Howell Crossing is a small quiet community, with a great staff. They come to my rescue quickly each time service is needed, going far beyond expectations. I have lived in this community for 7 years, and I am very happy here.

This is a PSA for anybody looking to rent an apartment in the Orlando area. STAY AWAY FROM MCKINLEY OWNED PROPERTIES. Our happy Howell Crossigs Apartments was purchased by them back in November. They changed the name to Winter Park Flats. Then AGAIN changed the name to Serena Winter Park. My two biggest issues: 1. With Howell, we were renting a 1/1 800sq ft apartment for $770 a month plus utilities. With McKinley, if we moronically chose to renew our lease, we'd be paying nearly $200 more, plus an additional pet rent with none of the upgrades. Or we can move into one of the "upgraded" apartments (which is hardly upgraded. They redid floors and lights. That's about it). This is after we were assured a couple months back that if we chose to renew our lease, the bump would only be by about $

Awful place
