Bayberry Pointe Apartments

Make sure you ask if people above you have kids. Everything was fine until upstairs new tenants moved in and had 2 kids. The noise was obnoxious. Complaining to the office did not help at all. There were mold issues in the newer Urban apartment. Snow removal was not good at all. They put in the cheapest plastic white blinds so they all broke and weren’t repaired. When apt inspections were scheduled for maintenance to check things they did not come inside. They only checked furnace area. I... definitely felt “unheard”. I bought my own home and still cannot believe how quiet things are in my neighborhood. Do better Bsyberry. I was a loyal renter but you weren’t loyal to my rights. Read More

I have enjoyed my experience so far. The leasing office is responsive, and the maintenance comes within a day or two. Close to Standale plaza and lots of stores. Love living here!

The leasing office is ridiculously unresponsive and often disrespectful and is quick to go back on their word. For example, late fees were to be administered after 3 days but when they finally added online payments their app for making these payments was too glitchy and even when rent was sent on my end they never received it and we were given a late fee. also rent was way too high for the poor facilities(mold problems, birds coming in through dryer vents, electrical outlets not working, and no... light fixtures in the rooms and no cleaning of common areas) with the amount of options in the area for housing this would not even be a considerable option for me again. Even the newer apartments which might seem nice, but still struggle from poor maintenance (both in quality and responsiveness) and also crime near the front of their apartments on lake Michigan. Constant car break ins and theft and even malicious actions like the burning of one of their carport garages. Read More

Bayberry Pointe is a great place to live. Their office staff is friendly and helpful, maintenance fixes things VERY quickly, and the area is quiet, safe, and clean.

However, there are some things that could be better to make this place even more perfect:
- no disposal in the sink
- toilets are very, very small
- sink counters are low, sinks are small
- sink handles are the small cylinder ones you have to grab, not the nicer L-shaped ones you can move with the back/side of your hand
- thin walls... , you can hear loud conversations, music, people walking above you, people urinating in the bathroom above you, etc.
- kitchen cabinets don't have handles (although there is lots of cabinet space)
- microwaves are VERY small, can't fit even a big plate in them
- sliding doors to laundry room / closets feel cheaply made and get stuck occasionally
- poor cell service for Verizon throughout the complex
- limited non-garage parking options near 3-story and closely packed buildings
- limited "community clubhouse" options. Nice tennis/basketball court, but it would be cool if they had a pool, coffee bar, or other community amenities.

I've only seen and experienced three units, and my above points apply to these 3 units. Other units may have bigger toilets, for example. The newer units in the front probably don't have these same drawbacks as well.

Overall this place is great and I would highly recommend it! Read More

I moved into the newly built apartments and every part of them are cheaply made. Up stairs neighbors? You hear every step! You also have the pleasure of hearing the man upstairs peeing into his toilet. My bedroom and cabinet doors wont shut because the humidity expanded everything. I could go on, but you can imagine everything was built with the cheapest material. Besides the poor build, the workers were not forth coming about when the buildings were going to be finished, and when the move-in... date would be.

That being said, the open spacing is nice and is enjoyable when the neighbors aren't home and you forget about the door and cabinets bending/breaking. The price is better than living right downtown, but it has its difficulties. Read More
