Balfour Place Apartments: They have a contract with a sketchy cable company (Not Recommending)

2006-11-16T04:08:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I don't understand why they would have a contract with a cable company (Millenium) that is pretty set on ripping off poor people when the building is restricted to people who make below a certain dollar amount a year.

Balfour Place Apartments: (Not Recommending)

2006-10-10T16:37:24-06:00

Balfour Place Apartments: It's not even that cheap... (Not Recommending)

2006-08-31T12:30:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: For a "low income" apartment it really doesn't cost any less than an apartment in downtown. 625 a month for a small studio is ridiculous.

The tenants are the worst part though, while a good part of them are nice enough, the few that aren't good mess stuff up. They grafetti ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-05-27T15:20:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The staff is rude, they don't answer pages, so if god forbid you had an emergency don't expect it to be adressed until 3 to 4 hours later.

From -Anonymous-: I moved into Balfour with the intent of it just being a jumping off point.
