Dirty, Poor Management, Unsafe!!!
If you value cleanliness, safety, and any semblance of competent management, run, don't walk, away from Belle Vista. After 4.5 years there, my stay is thankfully at an end. Since Dayrise Management took over a couple of years ago, the decline has been remarkable, fast, and sad. What was once a nicely landscaped and well-maintained community is now a disgusting free-for-all. Residents treat the community like a garbage dump and a dog toilet. Despite repeated complaints, management did absolutely... nothing about it. Occasionally, they’d send out a weak email reminding residents to pick-up their pet’s waste but, since there are no consequences, no one does it. Walking the filthy stairs and breezeways to my unit became a constant source of disgust and frustration. People loitering on the stairs, smoking and leaving butts everywhere, pulling up in the parking lot and unloading all their fast-food garbage on the ground.
There were at least four murders at Belle Vista during my time living there, which speaks volumes about the lack of safety and quality of tenants. Management's communication following the most recent murder was delayed, evasive and deliberately vague, failing to even mention the fatality at all.
The Leasing Office staff are consistently rude, exceedingly unhelpful and act as if your concern and presence are an inconvenience. There is a high turnover of office managers. The office is impossible to reach by phone – even during business hours when they are in the office. If you have an issue that requires their attention, you’ll need to make time to go into the office. If you go in, be patient, take a few deep breaths, and be prepared for the treatment mentioned.
The valet trash is inconsistent. The pool is repulsive. During the summer months, the area around the pool is usually occupied by loud people smoking weed and playing vulgar and explicit music. You don’t want your kids there.
The entrance to my building smelled like an entire dog kennel; the constant stench of dog waste from my neighbors' patio is nauseating.
The gate in the gated community was consistently malfunctioning, and the security measures at the clubhouse were insufficient to prevent theft of my packages. Management provided no assistance and recommended that I file a claim with my renter's insurance.
For me, the final straw for me was seeing a masked individual with a gun outside my door at 1:30 am one night. At that point, I feared my life at Belle Vista.
