“Looks Nice Online, But Daily Life Is a Nightmare”
It’s worth knowing that brand-new apartment communities often encourage residents to leave early positive reviews in exchange for small incentives. Keep that in mind when reading the five-star reviews here—they may not always reflect the long-term living experience.
Our actual experience has been extremely disappointing. From the moment we moved in, it’s been one problem after another:
Undisclosed construction: When we toured, I specifically asked whether there would be any new construction... across the forest line, and the leasing agent assured us the forest view would remain. That was one of the main reasons we chose this unit. In reality, construction started soon after we moved in—loud machinery, constant pounding, building vibrations, dust, and a foul odor from water pumping 24/7. It is impossible to enjoy or even air out the apartment.
Noise and hostile neighbors: The upstairs tenants have been disruptive well past midnight. When we attempted to address the issue politely, we were met with hostility. Complaints to management went unanswered, leaving us to either tolerate the noise or escalate unnecessarily.
Declining community standards: Rules are routinely ignored—residents block EV charging stations, gates are often broken or left open, and trash/dog waste is common in shared spaces. Management sends weekly “reminder emails” but enforces nothing.
Health impacts: With chronic migraines in our household, the combination of noise, dust, and odor has been unbearable.
What was marketed as a luxury community has instead been a constant source of stress. Management has shown little accountability, and our experience does not align with what was promised when we signed the lease.
If you’re considering Bainbridge World Center, look beyond the polished photos and staged amenities. Ask existing residents about their daily reality before you make the same mistake we did.
