In concert with the Cardinal Group

Operated by Mica Creek

The Renegade isn't run from a call center. It's operated by Mica Creek Living in concert with the Cardinal Group, and the team shows up: every home game, residents are entered in a raffle for owner's box seats at Doak, and the people behind this building have been on the roof.

  • Operated by Mica Creek Living in concert with the Cardinal Group.
  • Our sister community, The Osceola, is right next door. Same team, same standard, same experience.
  • Owner's box raffle. Every FSU home game, a resident wins seats in the owner's box.
  • Hospitality first. Coffee, a rooftop pool, outdoor pickleball court and a front office that texts back.
