  • Social Events Over Livelihood

    February 12, 2024
    They care more about social events than maintenance of the property. Why would I want to hang out with the same staff that overlooks promises made during lease signing?
    Review from Apartments.com

  • New management

    January 18, 2023
    My process of applying and being accepted for move in date was streamlined perfectly. New management has been very helpful and understanding.

  • ROACH INFESTED

    July 29, 2022
    Great location and units are ok if you can ignore the fact that there are endless roaches in the hallways and units. It’s disgusting and unbearable I’ve been here for a little over a year and I can’t wait to get out no one wants to come home wondering how many creepy crawlers will pop out. Management does nothing about the matter definitely not ok.

  • Awful management

  • Roaches and filth!!!

    May 31, 2021
    I currently reside at this dump. Pictures DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL APARTMENTS! Management won’t respond to messages, workers let themselves into your apartment without notice. Broke down cars everywhere. Loud music from cars 24/7. Zero stars, would not recommend.

  • Roach party

    February 2, 2020
    There were so many roaches and all kinds of giant bugs inside even though we payed for pest control. They never fixed anything. We didn’t have a oven nob for the whole 6 months that we painfully lived there. At one point there was blood on the walls and the pool was closed almost all summer. Never again will I ever go back or recommend this place.

  • Roaches own the place!

    January 5, 2020
    Plumbing sucks and the place is filled with roaches. I had toilet water coming up from my bathtub drain. I knew it was toilet water because pieces of tissue was coming up with the water. I didn’t trust drinking or cooking with the water. It smelled really weird and I’m almost positive it led contaminated. Why would you even rent that place out like that? Would you live like that? Those apartments should be torn down. I was killing roaches and spiders everyday. My bathroom didn’t have any ...
    outlets. TEAR THAT PLACE DOWN!

  • I was roped into a 15 month lease for cheaper, regretted it.

    January 2, 2020
    I was roped into a 15 month lease for cheaper, regretted it. I experienced the following: roaches (a lot), improper lint disposal (water box), AC broke dozen times, carpet lining is awful (easy peeling), sidewalks flooded. I cannot speak for the new management, but the prior management hired very poor contractors for their 'newly renovated' apartments. This place was the worst place I've ever lived and I am happy that I've escaped. While there was a 'new' management afterwards, they did not ...
    improve much within the last 3-4 months of living there.

  • ROACHES. Attitude. Run Around MGT.

    January 1, 2020
    SEVERE ROACH PROBLEM NEVER STATED. Lived here less than 5 months. NOT WORTH IT. MGT gives run around and SEVERE ATTITUDE. Will blame you at every turn. Overflowing dumpsters. Overworked and underskilled maintenance. Out dated by 30+ YEARS heating and cooling. "Given appliances" OLD, OUTDATED, BEYOND GROSS CONDITION. Apartments IN HOMEMADE PATCH FIXES FOR HOLES IN THE WALLS AND DOORS. Nothing was cleaned. Upon a full self clean I FOUND POSESSIONS FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Do NOT move here!!! Stay away!!!

    May 27, 2019
    Such a horrible place to live. If you want to live at a place where dumpsters that are overflowing, roaches, mice, loud neighbors, a property where cars get broken into on a regular, where a shooting happened at, where the office staff says they will “get back to you” about a issue or question and they never do, or it takes 2 weeks for them to fix a maintenance issue (which has happened to me 3 times), where the office staff rarely picks up their phone, where a office staff keeps on cutting ...
    office hours, where the office staff is extremely rude, where sidewalks and parking lot floods almost every time it rains, where you regularly get people knocking on your door and wanting to save your soul, if you want to live in a area where you hear gun shots regularly, then live at the gates of west bay. Otherwise, DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!!!! They keep on putting more and more restrictions on the pool, it’s so stupid. They make unannounced visits to my apartment for some type of inspection or something for maintenance. Stuff has gone missing and I have requested that if they need to enter to check on fire extinguishers, the pipes, the fire alarm or whatever (which is totally fine) I just want to be there when they do it. But that request usually doesn’t get honored. I shouldn’t be scared that my stuff is going to end up missing in my own apartment. I am not renewing my lease!!! Renters beware!! DO NOT MOVE TO THE GATES OF WEST BAY!!!!!
