DON'T RENT FROM RUNWAY BAY!!

I moved in about 1 month ago, on the first floor and the first 2 weeks was some what quiet. But then the office personnel rented the apartment above us to some people who continually thump loud bass music to the point of it hurtingā€¦Ā See More >

    Would consider Runaway Bay top of its class. You can get better paying $2000/mo somewhere else.. I'm not in that bracket. Apartment complexes come in 4 flavors. Dumps, Average, Nice, Luxury. This is the top end of Nice.ā€¦Ā See More >

                    Terrible place to live. Never enough parking. Non-handicapped people constantly parking in handicap parking spots, or in other people's paid covered parking spots.
