Everton at Bellmar

I can for sure say that Everton at Belmar isn't a place I would want to stay again. Like several of the ladies mentioned this apartment complex isn't the greatest. I was neighbors with poster about cockroaches and I can concur with her about the problem; it was awful. The other annoyance was to hear an office employee tell you they know there's a problem with roaches but they aren’t actively doing anything about it. Every morning when I left for work around 6:30 am I would see them... crawling all over the ground in the complex on top of having them in the apartments. A recent allergy test now confirms cockroaches as a new allergen. I wonder why!!!??
On Top of that my AC/heater never worked properly. They just put a Band-Aid on things that really need to be replaced. My bedroom was always 10° colder or hotter depending on the weather no matter how often I ran the AC or the heater. It got to the point where I had to go out and get an electric blanket, small portable heater for the winter and a fan for the summer months. I was even thinking about purchasing a portable AC before the summer hits so I’m not sweating like crazy. The vents always blew out these black specs and it covered my dishes and coffee mugs, and mixer that weren’t inside the cabinets. Don’t even get me started on the trash and dumpsters.
My other issue is the terrible communication they have with tenants about known problems. I was never able to use my payment coupon to pay rent. They were told about the situation yet didn't seem to care to fix it and charged me late fees even though they know about me not being able to pay and the code not being reset by the company or complex. I was even told they were doing me a favor by allowing me to pay by money order. How are you doing me a favor when things on your end don't work??!! I was told by the office manager that they knew it wasn’t working but corporate office never followed through.
Another issue was with renewing of my lease. They would constantly forget to give me the renewal. They also put false dates for the renewal because they couldn't keep up with the dates. When I electronically sign something there is a date on it yet you change it?!
Other posters mentioned how rude they were if you decided to go into the office and ask for assistance. It was like I was putting them out or annoying them. Wow this is your job. I sure hope you will think twice before renting here. Lee mas

I have lived at Everton @ Bellmar for eight months. During the first few months, I lived in the "honeymoon stage." The rent wasn't terrible for the location, there were good amenities, and people were friendly. However, like all honeymoon stages, good things must come to an end. This is an absolute nightmare of a complex. I am a very clean young professional who does not keep cardboard boxes or anything of the sort within my apartment walls. However, roaches infiltrated my apartment. When I... called the front office (which is at an entirely different complex, by the way), I was informed, "yeah, we have a bug problem right now[...] I suggest a large shoe?" It took two weeks for the complex to even spray the apartment, which provided the roaches even more time to spread. Upon speaking with my neighbors, I found out they have been suffering with roaches for months and the complex refused to help them. It's like a mass exodus around here with the sheer number of people moving out because of the circumstances. I cannot stress this enough: do NOT move here until they do a major, major overhaul on this complex. You will regret it. Lee mas

The Everton is so beautiful . I moved in about a few months ago and love the upgraded apartment I have . Despite the beautiful scenery , pool and lovely apartment this particular leasing company is horrible . The staff is very rude and unprofessional . Let’s start of with the work orders they take forever to get done and they hire random people that don’t have on uniforms and barely speak English . I called to complain and they just take note every time . Since I moved in things just started to... fall apart. Leak in the closet , bath handles falling off . Sink stopped up . Flooring pulling up . The list goes on . Beautiful but unprofessional staffing , office and maintenance . Lee mas

When I first moved in to Everton back in 2016, it was a beautiful community. Quiet and nice, the staff was friendly, and the property was a great place to live. Now, things are totally different. We don't have a leasing office staff because they took away our two office employees and we are now forced to go next door to a "sister property" to pick up mail and deal with apartment issues. Several of my friends and I have had more than one piece of mail/packages LOST! And the office staff shrugs... their shoulders like it doesn't matter. The girl working in the Riverfall office (the "sister property") is always rude, has a bad attitude, and unkind. I can't wait to MOVE OUT!!!! Everton today is NOT the Everton it used to be. So sad, I wish all these changes never took place. Lee mas

When I first moved here I was very pleasant with the process and the front staff. They typically always had two front office employees working at all times which was great and were very helpful. Fast forward to summer of 2017, here we are with zero staff in the front office and zero maintenance staff on property. This was seemingly overnight, for all we knew was there was notes posted on the front office doors saying this office is "currently closed" with zero explanations as to why and not... knowing what a huge inconvenience this has caused tenants at Everton as this is going on about 3 months now mind you. We now have to walk to another property to pay rent, ask questions and pick up packages as I strongly do not believe this is how you take care and treat your loyal tenants here at Everton. It seems like a huge burden for them to hire a new front office employee, but most likely do not want to pay someone which lends us the short end of the stick which is very frustrating. Imagine staying at a hotel with zero front office staff or maintenance around at any given time, that is what it feels like living here. I will gladly change my review if changes are made, but I really don't hope they expect this to be a long term solution. Lee mas
