Resident 2008 - 2009

If you are thinking of moving here, I think you really need to think again and really search for a better place to bring your family. I Came 1,500 miles from Upstate New York and If I had family in this area we would have broke our lease and stayed with them until we were able to find a decent place. They have false advertisment.. This is there advertisment from Rent.com Swimming pool, spa, and clubhouse...State of the art fitness center. Welcome to Bayou Crossing Apartments! Setting the standard for high quality affordable living, Bayou Crossing offers active families with children a beautifully designed gated apartment community in the Tampa Bay area. Our neighborhood is easily accessible to Interstate 75 and the Crosstown Expressway. You'll be just minutes to downtown Tampa and a short hop to Brandon Town Mall. Fine schools, hospitals, and community services are all convenient to this community. Please contact us today for more information on this outstanding community! *Restrictions & Availability Apply-Please Call or Visit Today! Well Its a very nice add and it will make the renter think wow they care about their tenents! WRONG!! As for their fitness center,Not state of the art and none of the machines properly work, they actually just from what I have been told bought new washing machines for their laundry facility. I use mine in the apartments so no need to go in there. Their pool in one of their flyer's stated OLIMPIC Size , I had to laugh at that one As well as their pool isn't properly taking care of and is often dirty as is their spa. I wouldn't swim in it nor do I want my children to and the bathrooms outside by the pool are filthy and smell like urine and fecis. Some of the apartments have a really bad roach infastation, It depends on the building your in. the water bill from some of my neighbors has been extremly high and they have less people in their apartment then I do mine. So somethings not right with that. Its very noisy at times and they also have people whom just throw trash all over including the lake. There has been alot of violence lately and the police are in here all the time. There was a person chasing someone from the Town Homes off bloomingdale the ( ospery ) he jumped the fence to get away and the other person drove their car and shot up a car in the rear parking lot here and there were children outside and thankfully none were in the way of the gun fire. this place is way out of control and the so called security gate doesn't work and hasn't worked in over 4 yrs. If your looking for a safe place for your family, this is not it. the only thing that they care about is collecting their rent money and they will put an eviction notice on your door giving you three days to move if you have not paid them within the time frame the rent is due. I had given them a check and they lost it, Luckily I had my reciept. So when I got that three day notice I was not a very happy camper and brought that reciept in there with me. They put it in the desk draw. You really have to be cautious before signing any lease agreements. They also tell you that your rent is this amount when they actually raise it and If your on section 8 watch out and investigate. My friends had a 2 bedroom and I have a three they had section 8 and I don't my rent was $650 when I moved in and theirs for a 2 bedroom was $750 which is because people with section 8 they charge more.. I don't think that is legal. Anyway other things that you should know about this place condoms are scattered all over, wild parties in some apartments , people throwing putting trash on top of their cars and when it falls they leave it. I believe there is people buying and selling drugs from their apartments and cars. You really need to not move here. Oh yeah Managment comes in the apartment when your not home which I believe isn't legal either unless their is a gas smell or some other major emergencey. Anyway I hope this long list of reason's for not moving in will help you make the right decision and stay away from this complex. Have a great Day/night and if you read any positive reviews its just the people whom work here trying to make it sound good to get buisness! ps. if you look at the buildings and the hallways you would see how filthy they are and look at the lake and how low and dirty it is..
