The Village at Bellaire

I'm not sure what happened with the last reviewer. I have lived in the complex for about 3 years, since 2008 and I haven't had any serious issues. It's true there were a few break in's at the beginning but that's normal for anywhere. The security guards range from overly aggressive to non existant but there are security measures in place to ensure residents are safe. Cars have parking stickers and there are cameras in the complex. All I can complain about is the price, it's high and has gone up every year. I love the look of the apartment and you can't beat the pool and gym, it's beautiful. more

Avoid this apartment complex. From the gate to the big swimming pool, it LOOKS nice, but as soon as you've signed the contract, you'll see the other side of this residence. Here are the issues pool pump not working for months, you're swimming in urine and germs, pool closed all the time for repairs (opened only from 10 to 4 PM...), staff loses two packages in a row from Amazon ! Despite the guard (ANYBODY CAN GET IN if he pulls in behind any resident or while the guard takes a leak), multiple break-ins (6-7cars in the last two months) and cars being keyed in the parking garage. One car was left with no wheel until management TOWED ??!! Also, the complex is being updated and there is noise, paint / chemical smells and the pavement is left with nails from the roof being reparied (I had one flat as a result). Not to mention the stack of old refrigerators / washers / dryers / washing machines and other appliances in the garage... being picked up every other month. Staff unfriendly and unwilling to increase security. Impossible to break the lease (4000 dollar fee !!!) AVOID ! Go to Camden ro another complex on Buffalo speedway ! Don't make my mistake. You'll be much happier !! Since CWS took over this residence, it has gone DOWNHILL !!!!! Pros: argh... Cons: UNSAFE, Noisy neightbors and construction workers, Pool never open more
