Beckley Apartments

I have been here for a few months now and I've had an amazing experience. The property is well maintained, and the maintenance staff responds very quickly to work orders. Office staff is very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone currently looking for a great place to live!

TLDR: I really wish I could rate this place higher, but now that I moved out, it is clear that this is a rough area. Safety and parking are the main reason I gave this place 2 stars. This place is okay if you work from home, but others beware.

Here are the details:

Cons:
- Noise - The above apartments do not have carpet in the living/dining area. Although this looks nice, you WILL hear your above neighbors. Carpet on the higher floors is usually a standard for that reason. I don't know why... they aren't for carpet.
- Gate - There seems to always be something wrong with the gate as I've seen one of the two main gates left open over night constantly.
- Thievery - Mail is the biggest problem that I had. Our mailboxes and parcel systems have clear signs of someone taking a crowbar to them and forcing them open. The front office will not hold onto packages that are bigger than what the parcel system can hold. So, they'll deliver it to your door and someone will steal it if not picked up immediately.
- Parking - Do not live here if you get home from work after 5pm. There was already a parking issue in the past, but it got worse quite recently (why I left). There use to be four types of parking: garage parking, covered parking, normal parking and visitor parking. Garage and covered are not included in any unit. You must pay an extra monthly fee to use them and they are not cheap. They just recently took away some of the normal parking to add premium normal parking for only $50 per month and just made the parking experience disastrous.

Pros:
- Pest Control - I read another recent review about bug infestations. I never saw that in my building (bldg 2). I only saw like 2 cockroaches my entire time living there and my cat took care of them both times. My guess is that guest was living nasty.
- Living/Maintenance - The apartments themselves are not bad in any way. Any problem I had, the maintenance crew was quick to act.
- Amenities/Events - This team actually tries to set up events. Although I've never been to any, I will give them credit for doing their best to keep the community active. Read More

It is the worst apartment complex I have ever lived in, noisy neighbors, dirty areas, apartment flooding, roaches, crickets. The managers do nothing to improve conditions.

This location has to be the worst apartment I’ve ever taken up residence. I don’t normally leave reviews but this location and their handling of any situation is atrocious.
First, let me give credit where credit is due. The maintenance staff is wonderful. That’s where the good news ends.
The management is very dismissive of any issue, and you don’t get the feeling that they truly care. The amount of ROACHES that the complex has is crazy. In four months, I’ve had like four visits from pest... control. Each time failed to remedy the situation (in an apartment that is not filthy). To add, two of the visits were intended to be their deep, more effective treatment. It didn’t work. I advised the management of this, and they stated that they had not heard any complaints about roaches. However, their own pest control personnel advised that the neighbor next door had to have the same exact intense treatment TWICE.
Secondly, the parking is terrible. When you first move in, they tell you about all the available parking, but that’s not true. Rarely do I ever get to park near my building. After I requested an available covered parking space, management advised me that one near me was available, and they would sign me up. When I called back after not hearing anything, no one had any recollection of the conversation. As well, a new waiting list developed after my request made it so that I would be no where close to getting any covered parking. Even though this was an error on their part, there was no attempt to rectify it or even show any concern. When parking runs out, they just tell you that you have to park your car on the street even though you pay rent there and it’s plenty of unregistered cars parked throughout the complex. How can you ask someone to park all the way out there when inside the complex alone one of the neighbors had the wheels on his car stolen. Literally, his car was sitting on bricks before midnight. The office never sent out a warning or advised residents to be safe or even have a physical security presence on-site. You can’t protect the inside of the complex, and you want me to park my car on the street!
Even with all the changes, I must admit the current Assistant Manager Danyelle J. has been the most unprofessional and unapologetic person I’ve encountered. After you advise her of issues you have, she becomes very short and dismissive; even to the point were she does not look you in your face when you walk into her office. Read More

The apartments are decent but the area is rough. Lots of petty thievery in the area and when you go report to the leasing office they “write an incident report” honestly it didn’t even seem like they did just seemed like they said that to make me go away. TMy car has been rummaged in overnight, there was an attempt to steal my rims and my chained up bike was stolen from right outside my unit.
Parking is also terrible. They need the parking to be maybe 1.5x the size it is to be comfortable. I... hardly feel comfortable having more than a guest or two over due to this issue.
Also they towed my car without warning one time due to parking in a lane that had the most faded lines you could barely make out in the daylight let alone the night. Read More
