Resident 2009 - 2012

In March of 2012, a new management company purchased the Bell Station Apartments. When Dawn was the apartment manager (until about Nov. 2010), I was very satisfied. Then the complex had management by turnstile. Some managers were good, others terrible. I didn't have enough experience with the new management team to evaluate their overall performance. But I can speak to specific decisions they made. The new management company decided not repair the security gate. Given the rising rate of crime in Montgomery, I'm not sure I agree with this decision. Thankfully, they cut back the bushes and tree limbs. As a result, the grounds are much safer. I had a dedicated parking spot and wish management would return to this practice for new tenants. Most of the people who live at Bell Station are salt-of-the-earth people. Many are clerks, cops, school teachers, and state & military employees. Most live here because the rent isn't outrageous and they are using the money saved to pay alimony, whittle down credit card debt, and build up savings. Those who can afford something nicer tend to live off Taylor Road or further east. I love the location of Bell Station and the grounds are better maintained now. I'm uncertain if I would live here again, but I've given the place a somewhat reluctant thumbs up. One thing I would want to know is if the managers get a bonus for not using up the repair budget. This provides an incentive for the managers NOT to make repairs. I always prefer to rent from landlords and property managers who believe the rental property is a long-term investment. My best experiences have been with landlords who were willing to make repairs immediately and ensured that the repairs were done well.
