Avondale Parc @ Bellmar

I wish I could upload photos to prove what I’m about to say. My building and According to other residents, their buildings as well, all have a major issue with a German cockroach infestation. All grassy areas are filled with dog droppings from residents who don’t them pick up, and staff who ignores the issue, so forget about letting you kids play outside. Our water heaters also work intermittently at best. Cold showers are the norm, even in winter months. Mailbox has been broken into multiple... times and has yet to be fixed bc I saw my buildings mail scattered on the ground again today. 50+ dollar water bills for water you have to brace to bathe in. Laundry room had also been down for a month so be prepared to drive to clean your clothes. This is not livable Lee mas

I would advise anyone that will be renting apartment 2217 to stay away. My entire house smells like weed DAILY. I contact leasing , they will say they are not law enforcement. The neighbors just leave trash outside everywhere. When I initially, moved in the apartment was not cleaned. There was mold in my tub and baseboards. I put in a work order and they covered the mold with caulk. There is a reason, I signed a short term lease.

I lived here for 3 months. Its a trashy place.

1) The day of move in I found a cockroach, just a small one, but it wasn't a good sign. Ive found a few more since then, obviously there shouldn't be any...
2) The leasing office is slow to respond to anything, and are extremely inflexible.
3) The leasing office made a mistake and double-charged me rent (after I had payed in full in advance) and then served me an eviction notice for not paying the double charge that they mistakenly made, then to... compensate for their mistake, they did nothing.
4) The laundry rooms suck and always smell bad. The card system they use is so old and inconvenient its ridiculous.
5) If you live in avondale, you will have to drive all the way to Aberdeen if you want anything to get done because it takes the leasing office a million years to do anything over email or phone.
6) Maintenance is not bad, but their system for notifying you that someone has been in your house is inadequate. Sometimes they leave a note, sometimes they don't. One time after a service, i came home from work to realize that they had left my apartment without power.
7) The apartments have windows that go directly to the courtyard stairs, this is unsafe as anyone willing to climb stairs has full access to your apartment, they could even just lift the window up from the outside.
8) The portal system that they use to take payments is garbage, its always breaking, it displays incorrect information, and it charges you service fees that are NOT EXPLAINED IN THE LEASE, for example an extra $47 service fee just to pay rent... RIDICULOUS. Lee mas

Don’t even wast your time!
This apartment has very thin walls, you will hear everything your neighbors upstairs do, every step as well. Maintence usually takes up to 3 days you will have to keep calling until they come. Parking lot is always full!! Sometimes you even have to park outside the gate which is not safe. I’ve heard gun shots a couple of times. Pool is always full. Gym is old and broken. Extra hidden fees. Etc... the list goes on

First of all the parking is horrible, if you get out of work after 9 pm good luck finding parking by your apartment you might have to park your car outside the gate. The gate NEVER works, it is always broken and gets fixed like only once a month. The safety in the apartments is not good, I have seen cars broken into and I have heard gun shots in the complex. The walls are extremely thin, you will hear every footstep from your upstairs neighbor. You will also smell everything everyone cooks... around you and it will end up stinking up your own apartment. The office never answers the phone and will never return your voicemail. Maintenance takes up to 3 days to come to your apartment. The is always extra fees the office will make you pay so be prepare. Do not believe all the good reviews they are not true. I can't wait till my lease is up! Lee mas
