The Crossings at Bear Creek Apartamentos

My vehicle has been broken into twice in a two month span. This is occuring in the paid permit parking lot on apartment property directly in front of my building. There are no security cameras, nor have I ever seen a security patrol car.

Having lived there for a few years I'll give a compehensive review: first the good: awesome staff and maintenance! They are great people that truly care about the tenants. On good days, the complex looks clean and nice. The package and mail system is cool; they use an Amazon Hub which mostly works great! The apartments have AC which is really great!
The bad: the parking is terrible!! The owners are terrible. Their policies are designed to nickle and dime their tenants. They have very small... garages to rent taking up precious potential parking space so they can maximize profits. If you have an average size pickup, it probably won't fit in the garages. You pay to park in normal spots, however the spots aren't reserved. If you come home after 5 PM from work, you'll be parking on the street. The garbage compactor is constantly broken so people set their garbage next to the compactor. After a day, there's a huge pile of trash and honestly it makes the place look terrible; it makes it embarrassing to bring guests over. Guests really can't park there anyways because it is paid for parking, and there won't be any spots for them to park. The rent is constantly going up along with the monthly HOA/utility charge everyone gets (which includes HUGE fees to the company managing it). They are unfair with who gets to reserve a parking spot. Management says we can't reserve a parking spot but suddenly I see someone new is reserving a spot. The pool is a gimmick along with the exercise room. If I could go back in time, I would not choose to live there because of the parking problems alone. Lee mas

Let's start this off by saying I have lived here for 5 YEARS! This place used to be great but that's not the case anymore.

Office Staff: Since Covid stated, it has been a revolving door of new faces who don't care about the residents. Communication is zero. They never answer the phone. Staff is so friendly showing new renters around but goes missing for anyone currently living here.

Parking: Parking has always been a struggle. Most people have to park on the street, and up the hill next to... The Retreat at Fox Hollow if they come home after dark. If you have an over sized car (normal truck) you will barely fit in the new parking lines they drew a few years back. They "added" an additional spot to each row but made it impossible to open your car door.

Pets: Yes this place is dog friendly. The "dog park" though ... is a gravel pit. When the snow killed the grass, they decided to put down a thick layer or gravel about 2 years ago. During winter it becomes a sheet of ice, dogs slip and hurt themselves. During summer the gravel is hot and burn paws. The fence to get in used to be a double gate so you could let your pet off their leash. One broke about 4 years ago, was never replaced.

Maintenance: The only 5/5 starts this place can get. The guys are here everyday working and always helpful Lee mas

Management team is a joke, they are no help. Parking is a nightmare they don’t check to make sure people are allowed to park in lot. People are allowed to fill garages and not park in them. Received a ticket for having to park on the road due to no parking in lot. Fees that don’t help anything, dog poop everywhere, insect issues, dirty parking lots and grounds. Complex recently had to be sprayed for cockroaches. I’ve had to file multiple complaints about neighbors screaming and fighting.... Multiple residents have been evicted for being loud, dirty, and drugs. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Lee mas

I lived here for about 5 months and it was absolutely the worst living experience of my life in an apartment. Where do I start??? The management was C team squad at best. There were at least three different leasing people while I was there and they were all terrible at their jobs. They never answered our phone calls when we needed help with lease stuff, maintenance etc... left voicemails every time we would call and they never called us back. They even gave me the wrong set of keys for my mail... box when I moved in. They stick you with the most ridiculous fees every month (fees for mowing the lawns and pest maintenance). And there were still insects all over our apartment day in and day out after they CLAIMED that they had just sprayed. All they want is your money. The walls in the apartments are paper thin you can hear just about everything above you if you are in a bottom unit like other tenants going to the bathroom, foot steps, people talking. There are not enough parking spaces for tenants on the premises so if you are planning on being home from work after 6 pm, you are parking on the street. The managements' solution to that was to shrink down the existing parking spaces to make more and there are still not enough (you can see the old paint markings in the original spaces). Great thinking Crossings.. The spaces are so narrow that you have about a foot of space to open your doors (I got 2 door dings from those parking spaces on my brand new truck in less than a month). How convenient that you pay them thousands of dollars to live there and they don't even have enough parking spaces...Absolutely ridiculous. To top it all off, they will most definitely take your full deposit if you don't live there for at least a year. They will take out 100 dollars automatically to paint the walls even if they are left immaculate. I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants a decent experience in Lakewood. AMC leasing consultants is a complete rip off. Lee mas
