PLEASE READ: This place has really gone down hill since the new management (Bell Apartment Living) took over. We moved into this place the first week it opened, while still under heavy construction, and loved it. We resigned our lease without hesitation. However, a week after we renewed our 12 month lease, they was an announcement that the property would soon be under new management. Since the first day the new management took over, things started to go down hill. The new staff was not as nice or helpful as the old crew, but they sure are quick to hand out fines/fees. Pet droppings and trash left everywhere. Amenities started breaking down and if they actually decide to fix it (something they rarely do) they take months to fix it. Maintenance leaves their trash behind and doing a mediocre repair job. They issued a new parking permit policy that causes more issues than it fixes. And of course there is the mail theft. Packages get stolen right off your doorstep. Before Bell Partners, this place was almost completely full. There were only 2-3 vacant units in the entire complex. Now I m seeing moving out like crazy. By the loom of the empty balconies, this place is close to half empty. I could go on and on about how run down this place has become. It is such a shame too. This place was a beautiful, wonderful place to live. It s too bad that the new, neglectful management has ruined the place. Their motto is Hassle Free Living but it has been nothing but a hassle since they took over. I can t wait for my lease to end so I can move out of this dump. Only 207 days to go!
