I have lived here almost a year. I am moving when my lease is up because I got a job downtown, and I hate the commute. Otherwise, I would definitely be staying at Bentley Place.

Granted, the walls are thin because I have heard my neighbors on occasion. However, it is an apartment, and it isn't the only apartment I have lived in with poor insulation and thin walls. The electric bill is high, but I think the majority of that is attributed to energy rates.

The management staff has been great. Teresa is awesome, and she is always very friendly and willing to go above and beyond to assist tenants. The business center and fitness center are nice as well. My only complaint with the fitness center is that they do not have a leg press machine.

As for my actual apartment, I love it. I couldn't find a better place for the size and price. It is in a great neighborhood, and I feel very safe. I have never seen any vehicles broken in to.

I have never had a bug problem like some of the others, and I have never had a problem waiting on maintenance. Anytime (and there have been very few) I needed to have something fixed, the maintenance guys were there within 24 hours.

If you want a nice apartment, in a nice neighborhood....then move here.

I have to disagree with this one. Even though we have our thermostat set to 76 degrees-it is constantly over 80 degrees in the apartment. When we call management-they seem to be concerned-but never actually do anything but clean the unit and change the filter-even after we tell them that it didn't help-they sent a guy over to say there is nothing else they could do. So, because of the poor quality of the buildings and limitations of management-we are stuck paying hundreds of dollars in electricity every month. The gates are not always working-which is a safety issue. And not to be too personal-but there were a couple of times when we would go to the office-and the staff would be dressed inappropriately-children do not need to know or see what kind of undergarments the office staff are wearing. The cleanliness of the place is a major issue as well. When we moved in-there was feces (human poo to use the vernacular) all over the master bathroom, mold in the vast majority of the cabinets, dark hair plastered to the wall where they painted without cleaning, food particles and dust everywhere-I have pictures to prove it as well. When we moved in-one of the maintenance guys broke our bookcase and threw it into the living room-on top of our flat screen and computer. When I simply asked what happened-the guy got into my face. He scared me so badly that I called my husband and asked him to come home. Later-we installed motion sensor cameras-and found that they entered our apartment without our knowledge and without giving us any notification. We pay for water-and yet-there were multiple times throughout the summer months where the complex was flooded because THEIR sprinkler system broke-guys-WE PAID FOR THAT WATER! Please-if you do not want to pay an outrageous amount for utilities and want a clean environment for you're family-Think twice before moving here!
