Overall I do not recommend Bella Terra and desperately want to find an affordable, better home for me and my teen son. The annual lease, monthly base rent has increased 25% in 4 years, not including monthly community utilities fees averaging almost $200 per month (e.g., the trash pick up is $60!).
The apartments are non-modern (definitely not "luxury") with cheap carpet and old appliances. The freeway noise is deafening sometimes; I use an air purifier too. STAIRS STAIRS EVERYWHERE! A minimum of... 28 stairs to lug my laundry baskets to the lower laundry room, unless I drive, but then there's no parking. PARKING is awful; too far away from my apartment and no visitor parking. Delivery trucks and residents often block my reserved parking space. The residents look nothing like the smiling, diverse-race young people in the apartment finder ads. The neighbor behind me is often drunk and smoking pot on his patio. In October 2024 a SWAT team broke the window of A-11 to arrest the inhabitant. The sheriffs coming for domestic violence disputes is common. Homeless people hang out on the empty lot next to Building A. Thankfully I have found a couple good neighborly friends, hard working, good families like me. We may move out together.
