Blakely Apartments

Ownership changes here every few years (along with the name), management changes every few months and sometimes even WEEKS. If you submit a maintenance request, they'll leave it and hope you just forget about it. Their favorite statement about anything is "We'll get it taken care of," but they never do and will give you the runaround on it until you either give up or stand there and hold their hand until they make it right. You pay for things that you never receive (workout room, pool, PEST... CONTROL). The office staff has an incredibly apathetic attitude-- and as soon as city Code Compliance comes around, they'll check off all service requests as completed, whether they actually are or not. They're all about making the outside of the apartments look nice but once you're in, they don't care about the inside. You can do better, renter. Lee mas

These apartments are horrible to live in. There was a shootout in the parking lot at 4 pm. (2020) Neighbors sitting on stairs all day and night asking if you need anything when they see you. If you rent there, make sure you live on the top floor because neighbors get rowdy at night and like to pop their hand cannons. Someones window and several cars have been hit with them during my stay there. And let’s not forget that this place was severely damaged by the winter storm in 2021. With that being... said they only replaced carpet and some appliances then painted over the mold. Me and my family were sick with sinus infections almost the entire time that we lived there due to the mold. Make sure to go there at night and walk around and you can see the cockroaches scattering around. dogs running around loose everyday. Kids damaging cars and making dents or egging cars also the cameras don’t work in the parking lot they are just for show Lee mas

Try and get anything fixed is a joke. Will tell you that they will send, and don't hold your breath. Plumbing issues all the time, smells if open your windows. People let there dogs run free off leashes and do not clean up after them. Renovated units after flooding, is just repaint and patch. Yes, the did put in new appliances only because they had to. Regret moving here.

I have lived here for 5 years, i have seen management come and go, but Christina and Susanna in the office here really care about what happens to us, good or bad, they just care and that means the world to me.
The maint. keeps up with my work orders when I need something, the price is reasonable for how close I am to everything in Arlington, and I love the upgrade that they have put in here. Its not the newest place in town, but I love the huge closets and my town home feels like home to me,... I will be here for a while Lee mas

A pretty quiet if you have kids it’s a nice chill place to live! Me and my family have had no issues as far as neighbors everyone keeps to themselves. Loud street if you do get an apartment by the street lots of cars race throughout the night , fire station down the street so lots of sirens. Never stopped my little one from sleeping so not too crazy
Rent is reasonable although if you are late on rent they will quickly put a eviction notice on your door they won’t work with you.
There are no... working cameras on the premises my car got broken into once told the office & the lady said “that sucks”.
The women in the office are very slow and they RARELY EVER ANSWER THE PHONES . But i will say If you are looking at this for more of a first time apartment or just now getting out on your own it’s perfect :) just make sure your lock your car doors at night and leave nothing valuable inside .
