Bellflower Apartments

they were unreliable. During some manner of repair they tore my downward gutter pipe off and just left it sitting. That was probably six months ago. Even when I was able to contact them and they said they'd "put it at the top of their list." It's definitely worth noting that the management already changed not too long ago, maybe 5 months, before reaching it's present state. That being said... The place itself is quite nice. The neighbors were all friendly and quiet, the units are separate enough that I never even heard my neighbors coming and going. (Though granted, I lived on the end, only connected on one side and furthest from the parking lot, so your mileage may vary.) I was lucky enough that my place never really needed repairs, which in hindsight is surprising because it doesn't look like much of the utilities have been replaced since they were first installed in the 1970's. The singular next feature of the place in my mind is that each unit has a decent sized garden patch, probably about 6x6 ft on average. What's more, they hold a regular "beautification initiative" where they'll give free boxes of flowers to anyone who signs up for it! I was even lucky enough to win the contest and get $100 of a months rent! But that's definitely a luxury, not a necessity. Again, I was lucky enough to have my necessities met, but in it's present state with management I cannot recommend these apartments to anyone. Assuming you could even apply...

attention, we were called liars, told we didn't need to buy cleaner to clean up the mess, and then further belittled even after telling them that we have photos of what was left for us to clean up. They also stated that they figured that "we wouldn't mind cleaning up the mess." and were further dismissed.

night! Cons: while the Model you will be shown is adorable, actual apartments leave much to be desired. Units in serious state of disrepair. Not reflective of maintenance staff, It's mostly age and structural damage. Strong odor of wet wood rot if you get too close to the walls, collapsing floors, aged discolored wallpaper poorly applied, seams don't meet, large air bubbles showing in every room, horribly cut up counter tops from previous tenants who don't know how to use a cutting board, shredded carpets from previous pets. Base cabinets are bowed so badly anything placed them slides to the lowest point. The Rent is very high for the poor condition of the apartments and nothing is included. Lebanon has notoriously high utility costs, and you will pay water, sewage, trash, flood water and a few other ancillary City fees that make this tiny hovel cost more than an apartment 400 sq ft larger. The only reason I did not score this as flat out "poor" is because there are some pros, if you can handle the cons.
