For the purposes of showing the layout, below are photos of Jennifer's actual unit from it's realtor.com listing years after the event.
THE UNIT: BUILDING 22
APARTMENT 2226
Of the 447 units in Jennifer’s complex, only 250 were occupied at the time of her disappearance. [70] There was extensive remodeling going on, including some work in Jennifer’s own unit. [70]
Drew Kesse has said that a full set of keys to everyone’s unit at Mosaic had previously been stolen. He also says that a key making machine with a box full of blanks was out in plain sight in the condo office. Jennifer and her dad had decided to change the locks prior to her disappearance but she delayed the actual changing of them due to being too busy. She intended to get them changed as soon as she felt settled in. [54] Her dad advised her to stick a chair under the door knob handle at night and she told him that she started doing that every night. [57]
Another woman who lived in Mosaic at Millenia at the time recounts a time when she heard someone trying to get in her unit with a key but a deadbolt prevented them. She later found out that a Miami realtor had been trying to show her unit to prospective buyers and had given her no notice at all. [60]

saying:
“Jennifer, creature of habit, would get in a car, take her elbow [and with it] lock the car door button, put her seat belt on… Well as the creature of habit, in doing that she would also look around her car.” [26]

But there was one item found that bothered detectives: a DVD player. That DVD player hadn’t been stolen. Asked what that tells him, Sgt. Brennan says, ‘It didn’t appear that it was a robbery. Didn’t appear that it was a car theft. It didn’t appear that it was a carjacking.’
