I have lived at "Bayshore on the Lake" for two years. When I first arrived, the apartment and the facilities were simply adequate. After the owner of the property chose to raise everyones' rent $100, the place began to empty out. Since then, they have (apparently) dramatically lowered their standards of qualifications to live here. Now, every other apartment houses out-of-work drunks, fighting couples, or families of 10 people. Bottom line; lots of loud music and yelling.
Though the grounds-keepers are often busy working, grocery carts are everywhere. I cannot emphasize this enough; it is not uncommon to see apartments with grocery carts overflowing with trash in front of their doors, or simply left in random places around the complex. Interestingly, it seems as though the staff here have a "pretend not to see them" policy when it comes to the carts.
When viewing Venture Rental's own advertisement, take notice of the fact that they emphasize how 'safe' the complex is. Without stating my own opinion on their statements, I would urge anyone considering moving here to get do a little research on the amount of incidents on the grounds in which the Sheriffs Office was called.
Also, their own advertisement states that a pool is one of the amenities offered for renters. This is not quite true; there is a pool on the grounds, but it is for condo owners, not for renters.
To reiterate, the apartments offered by Venture Rentals are slightly less than adequate. If they screened their applicants a bit more thoroughly, and policed up the grounds more, it would improve dramatically. Otherwise, I do not recommend moving here.
