The Apartments at Blakeney

I’d give this property a low rating because of the condition my apartment was turned over to me. The unit has high windows that hadn’t been cleaned and blinds that hadn’t been dusted maybe for years? This wouldn’t be as big of an issue if I were able to reach them to clean them but regardless the place should be properly cleaned before a new resident moves in. The bedroom blinds were also filthy, along with ceiling fans, etc. I was able to get a photo of the condition of the toilet which I tried... speaking to management about with no resolution and was told it’s normal for toilets to look this way. Maintenance did come and remove hunks of stinky leftover hair from the pipes which I appreciated since it wasn’t cleaned beforehand. The apartments are well kept outside by landscapers, parking is available, and maintenance has responded to issues when requests are submitted so that deserves some recognition. Read More

So I will start with the positive. I like diversity. We have it here. Kids, older folks, different ethnic backgrounds. The people that live here are nice, very nice. Love all the pets and love having kids running around. Size of the apartments are very good. Really good location. Okay with the pricing but of course there is all the after add ons that nickel and dime you. My apartment was pretty clean but I did rinse the floor before I moved in. Cleaning staff never rinse floors enough... of soap. I have not noticed any bug issues but it’s only April. So we shall see.
Now, the negative, which is very easy to change. Staff in office, hit or miss. The one that checked me in was less than warm and acted like she hates her job. When I toured I got the impression that here would be more community get togethers, there really isn't and no one checks the friggin app. I don't know how they get away with saying there are granite counters, many do not have that nor updated cabinets or bathrooms. Now the kitchens and baths that are not updated aren’t horrible but they aren’t that great either. Luckily most seem to have updated the flooring so there is only carpet in the bedrooms. There seems to be no insulation in the roof/crawl space area because the second floor apartments get cold. Yes they come with washers and dryers but they really are bottom of the barrel but better than going to a laundry matt. I had to put in a repair request and they showed up promptly the next day but I asked for them to call me first and that did not happen. I want to know when someone is coming that I need for repairs not just show up. They even acknowledge that they had indeed read my request for a phone call to set up a good time. The parking company they use is rude. RUDE. RUDE. RUDE and unhelpful. Luckily when I had a problem with the parking company a helpful staff member for the office was working that day. My wall neighbors I do not hear but the folks below me I hear. A lot but luckily they are quiet at night. So sound proofing is medium I guess. I would recommend this complex and I foresee myself staying a few years. Read More

The absolute worst apartment complex I have stayed at in 10 years. They have placed yellow tow boots onto residents' cars weekly. During the time when you sign your lease it states for you to give your license plate and make/model of car. however, the front office noted "it states in your lease we can change policies at any time." So now even if your vehicle is listed on the lease, they can still boot your car.
I have never in my life dealt with a more incompetent group of people. It's as if... they act like protecting their own residents does not matter. Read More

This is the worst apartment complex experience I’ve ever had. Avoid it.

I’ve placed numerous maintenance requests both through the app and via the voicemail line for the same issue beginning in January 2022. Just a simple set of blinds that need to be replaced. And they still haven’t been replaced as of November 2022. When it was time to renew my lease - it went up very significantly. The lease rate listed online is far less than what you’ll pay whenever you renew. They are doing anything they... can to nickel and dime residents. The “renovations” they’re doing are cheaply done. There are much better places to stay for what they’re charging for rent here. Read More

So we have been here over a year so far and we only renewed the lease because of a delay with a job transfer out of state .

The latest issues take place after the management (2021) . In 2020 it wasn’t as bad . But lately we can’t get through on the phones at all . The door is always locked (they claim Covid related ) but I think it’s an excuse .
Some neighbors of mine complained about the same issues with their appliances breaking time and time again . Why not fix it the first time ?

We... tried to use the pool. Duck poop everywhere- simply because they can’t get rid of the ducks . I understand that . Why not cover the pool at night ? The apartment are next to a swamp which causes a lot of mosquitoes to hang out by your front door if you go outside they come inside immediately. Then you are living with the mosquitoes. Not fun. Especially at night they are everywhere. Read More
