Paying for Location, Hidden Fees, Unaccommodating Management

There was nothing major majorly wrong while I was staying there, but it was not great. The rooms are on the small side, the kitchen is small, the water pressure on the kitchen sink is poor, and the furniture is low quality.

There was a $25 monthly furniture fee, and a $10 monthly "community" fee in addition to the already high rent. The hidden fees are a bit ridiculous.

Finally, when I moved out, I accidentally left my lunchbox in the fridge. I called the property within 3 hours to ask if I... could retrieve it, but they still charged me $25 for it. They also charged me more for leaving cleaning supplies in the apartment that I DID NOT BRING IN. The supplies were there when I moved in, so I left them there when I moved out and I was still charged. I tried to contest both of these charges, but they completely denied the fact that they left those there when I moved in.
Also, they MISCHARGED my utilities. I only found out because I was looking carefully at my ledger when moving out. I found out they charged me utilities for the whole month of August when I moved in, even though I did not move in until the 15th. I argued with them over email for over 2 months, they made several accounting mistakes that I had to call out, and they still got the charge wrong by $3.22 in the end. Disappointed by the unprofessional handling, and no apology for trying to unfairly charge me either.

Bear Grounds apts

I selected bear grounds because it was close to the Baylor campus. It has a 12 min walk to the BSB and a 7 min walk to fountain mall. The neighborhood is fairly safe, other than the dairy queen on LaSalle that gets robbed 3X a year. Parking is easy and you don't need to buy a sticker, so any guest of yours will be happy to park on site. Brandi is very courteous and helpful at the front desk and the maintenance is quick and polite. Internet and cable are part of the rent and the electivity prices... are very fair. Only 4 of 5 stars because they do not accept packages at front desk, so you have to pick them up at the UPS store. Overall, very happy with my home.
