Good luck sleeping here.

Absolutely terrible floors. You hear everything and the creaks just from walking. If you’re not on a top floor, you won’t ever even be able to sit in your own living room peacefully.

NEVER EVER LIVE HERE

The name says it all. RUNAWAY. Complete slum, buildings are beyond repair, they refuse to do the bare minimum such as clearing out dryer vents so you don’t have to dry clothes for 6 plus cycles (put in 3 separate maintenance requests in the 10 months I was there) thanks for the extra utility bills I truly enjoyed spending half a day drying anything. there were 2 shootings in front of my building in the first 3 months I was there. I had the renovated unit, it is slapping lip stick on a pig. They... nickel and dime you for everything. INSANELY over priced especially considering the quality. My balcony was detached from the building when I moved in which if you look around is not a surprise. All of the wood is dry rotted and decayed every where, to an unsafe condition. I moved out the very second my 10 month lease was up after considering just abandoning the lease as it was less than acceptable. I moved out the same time the neighbor below me moved Out as we could not “runaway” fast enough, other neighbors remarked they were jealous! Windows you have to use a screw driver to get to close all the way and can still hear a whisper outside. Valet trash pick up is spotty at best, engines revving for hours on end at all hours of the night. I could go on about what a disaster this place is. Hands down the Worst place I have rented across multiple states in my entire life and not even close. I am not one to post a negative review typically but I could not in good faith not warn others. It is a complete dump. Do not under any circumstances rent at this slum. High crime, high prices, low quality, cheap management and the most ridiculously low quality buildings you will find. Rented a 2 br townhouse a few streets away for less than what I was paying there. I’m sure their response will be “it is fairly priced compared to the market” it is not, you could make something out of legos with higher quality. Do not make the same mistake I did or the countless other residents who leave the second their lease is up. You will see a lot full of uhauls on a Saturday for a reason, they are RUNNING away from runaway bay.

Property Manager at Runaway Bay Apartment Homes responded to this review

We apologize that your experience with our community has been anything less than exceptional. Our team is committed to providing stellar service to all who walk through our doors and we are sorry to learn that we fell short of your expectations.... Thank you for bringing items to our attention. We have completed a full property dryer vent cleaning to help ensure we keep the air flowing correctly. We have replaced numerous stairs, balconies, and wooded area around the property as fast as we can to ensure safety for our residents. I would love to address the revving cars as sadly the office is not open past 6:00PM, we do rely on the community to bring those issues to the office and inform us of which unit is causing the disturbance. I have looked up this information and can not find a record, I would be more than happy to discuss this further with you to avoid future residents to have to endure this. We will most certainly use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure these issue do not happen again

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!

By far the WORST APARTMENT I have ever lived at!! They charge this "low" base rent to appear attractive to people but then find ALL kinds of ways to add fees to your bill. They charge for trash pick up whether you want it or not and they have the worst trash system after with trash ALL OVER THE PLACE. They charge for pest control but apartments have roaches there like they pay rent too! The visitor parking is a whole other thing. $5 per evening/night if someone is there after 6pm or else they... get towed. $50 per month to have a permanent decal. The one for my car get damaged trying to remove it when I got a different car and then I was billed another $30 per month to have it replaced, PER MONTH! Then billed for it again AFTER I Ieft to go live somewhere else because I didn't give them the damaged one. The place stinks ALL the time. They quote its non smoking but weed and smoking dwells there like crazy. My last might when I left had 3 water bills for some reason and another set of fees appearing like I didn't pay them before. They are extremely opportunistic and I would never suggest anyone every live here. The apartments look NOTHING like what they advertise and nothing about them are "updated" This "new" management staff is the worst and so are their policies. Its all a pile of crap! I wanted to leave the very first week I was there!!! My final bill had 3 water bills that were each double the charge of what I pay now for a two bedroom apartment when it's only a 1 bedroom and I have a way bigger and nicer apartment. The have it all thrown into their leases to protect themselves but I fell for it due to timing and but doing my due diligence. DO NOT DO IT!!! There are better places to live for the money!!

Mr. Forbes, we try our best to prepare residents for potential fees in advance of moving out. Ultimately, additional charges are dependent upon the condition of various spaces/ items in your home which are more readily identified after move out. A... parking policy is signed by each resident informing them of all rules upfront. The rules are explained in various places to avoid misunderstandings and signed by you the resident. We are not a non-smoking community and it is not advertised as such. While I also understand your frustration as far as Marijuana is concerned we follow all local laws. Your water is billed in the rears as explained in numerous places as well. We do offer weekly pest control services and anytime a resident needs service we are more than happy to add them to the list. If you have any further issues please reach out to the rental office and we would gladly assist.
