Bexley Lake Forest Apartamentos

Please do your research on crime in the area before choosing to live here. My first year here I didn’t have any issues, but right after renewing my lease, my apartment and my neighbor’s apartment were hit by gunfire. One bullet went through my neighbor’s window and into her headboard. Luckily, no one was injured.

I completely understand this was a random act of violence. My disappointment and concern come because the Bexley Management Team doesn’t feel it is necessary to inform the Apartment... community of the crime that is occurring in their complex. I had to inform my neighbors what happened and warned them to be extra careful. This happened around 10:30 at night, and I have many times taken my dogs out for a walk right where the gunfire hit.

Since then, I have seen an increase in police activity in this community, and on Christmas Day there was a murder in the apartment building next door to me. Again, no one was notified of the criminal act of violence.

I’m unable to get out of my lease after all this has happened. I feel it’s my responsibility to warn others before moving here. This complex is more concerned with making a dollar than the well-being of its residents. Lee mas

In the beginning I had no issues. I've now lived at Bexley for a few months. My neighbors are constantly doing drugs in their apartment, the office knows about it and refuses to address the issue. The stairwells and breezeways are disgusting, dog crap everywhere. Office staff will blatantly lie to you. Save yourself the hassle and move somewhere that you are valued.

I recently moved into what was marketed as a "luxury" apartment complex, and unfortunately, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment. While the apartment's location is undeniably convenient, the overall experience has been far from luxurious due to the abysmal state of the grounds and common areas.

One of the most disheartening aspects of this apartment complex is the appalling lack of maintenance. The grounds, which were supposed to exude elegance and sophistication, are marred by an... abundance of trash and litter. It seems that management has little concern for the cleanliness of the property, as garbage and debris are scattered throughout the communal spaces. Seeing litter lining the paths and walkways is disconcerting, making it difficult to enjoy a simple stroll around the complex.

Adding to the visual clutter are the patios of various residents, which resemble storage units rather than comfortable outdoor spaces. Residents have appliances, old furniture, and an assortment of junk strewn across their patios. This blatant disregard for the appearance of the complex not only diminishes its supposed "luxury" status but also creates an eyesore that is impossible to ignore.

The discrepancy between the apartment's marketing and the reality is stark. The promises of a luxury living experience fall flat when faced with unkempt surroundings. It's hard to reconcile the soaring rent prices with the deplorable state of the property.

The sole redeeming feature of this apartment complex is its location. It is conveniently situated near shopping centers, restaurants, and public transportation, making daily life more accessible. However, even the most desirable location cannot make up for the lack of effort put into maintaining the appearance of the complex.

In conclusion, my experience at this so-called luxury apartment complex has been a major disappointment. While the location may be a saving grace, the persistent neglect of the grounds, the excessive litter, and the cluttered patios detract significantly from any sense of luxury. I would caution anyone considering this complex to temper their expectations and be prepared for a far less glamorous living experience than advertised. Lee mas

Toured the property and staff was fantastic. Super friendly and informative.

It's really sad that I have to write this because for the most part my experience living in Bexley was good the issues begin when you move out. I moved out in July of 2021. I received an invoice from them after move-out for carpet replacement. I contacted the leasing office and requested proof of the charges because the lease states no charges beyond normal wear and tear would be incurred. I was the only occupant of the apartment with no pets or children, but I lived in the apartment for 3 years... . I never received any further contact from the apartments including the proof I requested so I assumed it was resolved, until it shows up on my credit report as collections today almost a year later. I contacted the leasing office today and spoke to Aimee who told me herself that there was no damage to the carpet beyond normal wear and tear but because I lived there 3 years and it was time to be replaced I was invoiced. " So essentially if you choose to live here long enough for the carpet to need replacing, expect that you will have to pay for it. If you rent here don't leave without a walk-through or you can expect to receive an invoice. This property group is highly unethical! Lee mas
