Friendly, happy and cheerful the staff is UNTIL YOU SIGN THE LEASE! Then they huff, puff and sigh when you come in or call requesting maintenance, to pick up a package or even pay rent. The manager will flip her blonde hair and be bubbly happy until you sign on the dotted line, then she will not even acknowledge you when she sees you again. She literally looks past you. Afterall, you have helped her make her quota..moving on.
My first water bill was around $20, now it is $40 and rising.
There is glass littering the parking areas due to the constant car windows being broken into and items being stolen.
There are broken beer bottles in the grass from people partying.
You will wake up to music blaring turned on at 7:00 am by maintenance if you live near the pool.
You will never sleep due to the drunk idiots at the pools none stop through the night.
My car has dents and dings from the careless people who live here.
A real estate agent told me that Bella Sarah started excepting felons and people with broken leases in order to fill the units.
She said she never recommends the property because of their reputation.
Several months ago, they sent fliers out about a meeting to reduce crime.
It was canceled and never spoken of again.
They advertise brunch.
Umm, that consists of a carton of orange juice, bottled water, coffee and powdered donuts or cinnamon rolls packaged.
Yummy!
The newsletter is basically a photo copy of the newsletter from the month before.
The computer in the computer room has now been locked and you have to get a key because of all the porn the kids were looking at.
Did I mention the crime'
Neighbors door was kicked in at 1:00 pm on a weekday. The assistant manager looked right passed me and ignored me when I told her.
Dog poop is everywhere. Dogs are rarely on leashes.
Children yelling and screaming. People SHOUTING CONSTANTLY to retrieve their children is common.
There is one laundry room for both properties.
The light to Bella Sarah off the busy and fast traffic street is a solar light that is maybe 40 watts and is often burned out.
The endless grocery carts from HEB that litter the property. Domestic violence. Neighbors fighting and screaming
Beer cans and cigarette butts everywhere.
I would rather move all of my belongings into storage and live in an efficiency than stay at Bella Sarah.
If they tell you they expect several vacancies coming up, those people are probably the suckers who moved in and are FINALLY moving out. Are you a sucker too'
Go elsewhere. Live on a friends couch until you find a safer place.
