Avalon Baker Ranch

I'm leaving Avalon Baker Ranch after 23 month. I was excited to move here after living at the Eaves in RSM, I thought Avalon would be a step up, but admittedly I was blinded by the newness of the property. It's billed as a luxury community, but this is still an apartment complex, and it's run as one. The walls are thin; the floor/ceilings are even thinner. The community is nice, amenities are good, and the maintenance staff is great. The gym is cleaned about once a month, if that, and the floors… are consistently dirty and dusty. There is no grass anywhere, so yes, dog waste is prevalent on basically all walk ways. The people in the lower income community next door do use the pool and gym, but no one is regulating that at all.

There is a huge lack of basic customer service from the office staff; they are clearly happy doing as little as possible, showing the model units fifty feet away and staying on their computers. Every time I went into the office, they stay behind their desk, never once getting up from their chairs to greet anyone walking in. The office staff needs a complete overhaul, or continued training on what it means to work in a customer service base industry. Read More

I'm mainly writing to offset the bad reviews of this place. I don't find it noisy at all. Everyone here is very professional and courteous (people who live and work here). No bird droppings that I've seen anywhere. It is one of the first apartments I've lived in that is laid out well so you can put a tv in a spot that is viewable (not over a fireplace or where a window is), and have your choice of where you want your couch to be. The lighting is top-notch - recessed lights, under counter… kitchen lights (my favorite) and over the island lights. You don't need lamps, but they are nice for a more subdued look. I love it here. They had a great neighbor-get-together with wine and good eats, and we met some other nice residents who had just moved here. The gym is great - salt water pool and jacuzzi. I've never seen that anywhere else! If you're looking for a top-notch, beautiful place to live, I would definitely recommend it. Read More

Moving to Avalon Baker Ranch seemed to be a great decision initially. However, dealing with nuisance bird droppings every day for the past 9 months has spoiled my opinion. It's a huge mess that gets tracked up and down the stairs and all over the apartment building walkways. It's an embarrassment for friends and family to see also. My neighbors have had a lot to say about this, but they seem to just move out instead of addressing the problem. The general office and maintenance staff have the… worst completion record I've ever seen and I lived in some borderline shady apartments during grad school. Also, the dog park has very aggressive dogs in it and despite complaining there is no solution in sight. So, if you have a dog look somewhere else. I'm very dissapointed in my stay at Avalon Baker Ranch. Read More

My roommate and I, in our search for a 2 bedroom/2 bath, struggled to find that right home with all of our requirements. As I personally had a wonderful tour from Eva previously at the time my lease was about to expire, I suggested we revisit Avalon Baker Ranch. The moment my roommate viewed the floor plans, saw the photos and accessed the amenities, we both were excited. This complex offers so much more than others. How can you beat the newness and modern style?!?! And as an added bonus, my… dog is welcomed. I can't explain how hard it is to find just the right place to call home. My roommate and I were not only overjoyed but the overall professionalism, efficiency and kindness that was extended to us by Julie, Craig and the other staff members left us feeling certain that we picked the right place. The ease of the approval process took us for a loop as the last place we considered took days of accessing our background.

My roommate and I highly recommend Avalon Baker Ranch to call your home. The 5 stars provided is truly deserving! :) Read More
