i.e., A I have a professional, white-collar job, and have been a renter for over 10 years. I have never lived in a place that is as poorly managed at Belle Forest. There have been numerous maintenance issues in my unit that have simply not been addressed regardless of regular contact with apartment management. The employees here go out of their way to be unfriendly and are quite simply useless. They will tell you that the maintenance folks are backed up on work, but when you see them around the property, they are always on a smoke break, or their little golf carts are parked outside of the units where they live, so they clearly have plenty of time on their hands. Tenant safety is not considered here. They will start projects and literally leave things torn up for months on end. There are cockroaches and mold, regardless of how clean I keep my apartment. The folks around me smoke, and it all pours in through my vents, which has caused a lot of health issues for me and my family. Walls are paper thin, and you can hear everything that is going on around you. They charge a massive amount for rent, and will charge you an extra $100/month for a supposedly "upgraded" unit. The outside common areas are filthy and there are dog feces everywhere. For these reasons, I have never been happier to be at the end of my lease. I would absolutely not recommend Belle Forest to anyone. local favorite, or highly recommended because
