Tenant Reviews for 13800 Ella Blvd

Wow! This place is truly something. Not quite what I had imagined it to be for 6-7 months. I have never in my life lived in an apartment with so many roaches. They have taken over. This is not inhabitable and soon I will be making a complaint and sending officials out to this place from the health department. Roaches in the refrigerator, bathroom, kitchen. Yuck. Don't be fooled with the "smiles, good cheer, and homy appeal of the office" You will sorely be disappointed if you move here unless you are used to third world tenement living conditions.

I am a resident there and I have been there for a year in a half, and I would like to share brief details of my stay here. The management sucks which is Ms Betty, she is very rude and dont get anything done. She is a lier. When I moved into another unit I did not check the storage rm and when i moved in the roof had a very big hole in there and its been 4months and I keep complaining and no one never comes to fix it and the maintence Gilbert he's always chilling at some of the -------- houses when there is work to be done. One maintence man to that property oh my God are you serious. I say never move to these apartments. The roaches are terrible and the pest control men dont come when you put the order in and I told Ms Betty and nothing never got done. When my lease is up I am moving and never coming back.Oh and one more thing there is never any parking spaces unless you want to walk a mile to your apartment.

I lived at bayou oaks apartment for a year and it was the worst year. Cops were often there cause of breaking in vehicals. It was not safe to walk outside at night. Horrible apartment.

This apartment complex is the biggest scam ever.They dont treat their tenant right and are very rude and unprofessional. They need better management.

This is not the place to live if you are trying to get ahead and save money. It will cost you more to stay here on towings and so many other things will add up. there has been over 10 towings of the residence that stays on the property. And the manager has authorize these towings. One lady has a paid cover parking and her car has gotten towed on November 12th at 11 p.m. along with 3 other cars. Ms. Betty in that office could careless about the tenants and concerned about herself. Do not recommend anyone to move to Bayou Oaks Apartments. Go to another apartment thats next door. Everyone is very upset, because they cant sleep good worrying about if their cars will get towed

ive been living here since Dec2007 everything was great then new management came in and let go the property really bad this new manager BETTY just doesnt do anything to fix the property she doesnt care. i really dint want to leave but it seems like things aernt going to change anytime soon. and they just broke into my car this is the second time no security onsite. maintance sucks and the landscaping is bad. betty sucks!!!!

I lived here for several years until a year after management changed. This place has a laundry list of problems almost all originating from the new management. Maintenance takes forever to respond, if they respond. Many of the appliances and fixtures are old and have issues and it may be days or weeks before you get any sort of response. Parking is horrible mainly because of the residence and some poor designing. If you move here, expect unexplained dents, scratches, dirty paw and hand prints, solicited flyers, and pushed in mirrors. Noise is unbearable. Some residents party, stomp, and scream all hours of the day and night and despite multiple complaints from several other residents, management does nothing and responds apathetically. The grounds are maintained but are often littered with trash. The pool is more times than not closed, they took down the playground, and most of the trees are overgrown (lots of limbs and leaves on the cars.) The new management got rid of the night security guard and security went to crap. The buildings are old and very poorly insulated, expect unbelievable electric bills. The staff are here to collect your rent and nothing beyond that. They don't care if you have problems or are happy. If they quote your rent at $600, expect to be paying at least $250 over that for water and electricity.

I just moved there and had my car towed on a so called privated apt complex along with 5 other cars due to apartment complex being cheap restriping parking lot where no one can see the lines at night no lights. Management had a really poor excuse and not concerned about the residence.. Roaches are really bad even after they spray they multiply....Do not move there go down the street and really do your research.

Let me start by saying I do not live here. I was close to submitting an application to reside here, however the Manager is very rude and in having one - five minute conversation with her I decided not to submit my application. Angelina (a leasing agent) should be the Manager of the property. She was very informative, pleasant, answered all questions asked without being defensive and was very welcoming. The "Manager" was very rude, would not take in to consideration anything that I was asking her to assist with and was upset that I was asking questions about the property. She spoke to me in a very demeaning tone as if I had never leased an apartment before. This is not the best property on the "block" however it's not the worse. The Manager should have been happy that I was even interested in "her" property considering I was degrading my living standards to try to save extra money (currently reside at The Blenheim). It's not worth it. I'm not even a tenant and I was being treated horribly. I'll stay where I'm at and just pay the extra for good management.

My family and I moved here out of desperation. Management was in the process of changing. We didn't have problems with the original management or this property until new manangement took over. Once that happened all hell broke loose. I am a witness to units vacating fast, however, you never know if their lease was up and they just wanted a change of scenery. Now as far as new management goes, well I've know better people. They are eager to evict if you are 1 month behind. Yes I said 1 month. I was shocked to find out that I was being evicted for being 1 month behind and so were the agencies I went to for help. Now we are being evicted again and I've tried to work with them, needless to say, no go. Contrary to what the property spokesperson has previously stated, the reviews are not from angry tenants that have been evicted. The apartments are great. The manager attempts to work with you however she has a someone she must answer to therefore, blame the owners for the hassle you may receive. The owners are money hungry and only care about the buck. If you are not desperate for a move, take your time before signing a lease here.(for some reason unknown the years keep changing so I will place them here...2010 to 2011) So there's no confusion!!!
