Detailed Information for Bay Parc Plaza Apartments

Exercise extreme caution when considering properties listed by the horrible company “AIR Communities” on rental platforms. While their promotional visuals might appear enticing, prospective tenants should be forewarned of a multitude of hidden fees. Beyond the baseline rent, there are significant charges for amenities such as parking, water, and mail services, which often require an additional subscription. The following are crucial observations derived from reviews by past tenants across multiple platforms. It is imperative that you review these insights meticulously to avoid potential regrettable experiences.

Here is 20 reasons why you SHOULD NOT! consider moving into Bay Parc Plaza Apartments:

  1. Overpriced Rent and Hidden Fees: Rent increases after the initial lease period, with additional hidden fees for minor wear and tear and strict move-out notices leading to high charges.
  2. Poor Noise Insulation: Residents report noise from neighboring apartments, nearby construction, and external disturbances at various hours.
  3. Unmaintained Common Areas: Common spaces are often dirty, non-functional, and inadequately maintained, such as underheated hot tubs.
  4. Lack of Safety and Security Measures: Instances of theft, car break-ins, frequent elevator incidents, and the absence of security cameras and personnel are concerning.
  5. Delayed Maintenance Requests: Slow responses, prolonged repair times, and questionable quality of repairs lead to repeated issues.
  6. Unfriendly Management and Staff: Management is seen as unresponsive and rude, with negative experiences reported with specific staff members.
  7. Poor Quality of Appliances: Malfunctioning and outdated appliances in the apartments.
  8. Insufficient Heating/Cooling: Ineffective heating and cooling systems, with complaints about associated costs.
  9. Difficulties in Package Delivery: Inconsistencies in delivery, with packages being stolen or misplaced.
  10. Unpleasant Odors and Pest Issues: Persistent odors and reports of pest infestations.
  11. Insufficient Parking Spaces: Limited parking availability and reports of car thefts.
  12. Inconsistent Internet and Wi-Fi Connectivity: Frequent internet disconnections and slow speeds.
  13. Unsuitable Environment for Children and Pets: Concerns about safety for children and strict pet policies.
  14. Elevator Malfunctions: Persistent issues with broken and small-capacity elevators.
  15. Structural Issues: Uneven floors, poor quality materials, and older styled windows allowing wind entry.
  16. Strict and Inconvenient Policies: Strict visitor policies and inconvenient rules, such as smoking restrictions.
  17. Misleading Representation: Discrepancies between the advertised and actual living experience, with suspicions of fake positive reviews.
  18. Loss of Personal Property: Reports of personal property being stolen during maintenance visits.
  19. Inadequate Space: Apartments perceived as smaller than presented, with limited space in communal areas.
  20. Lack of Communication and Transparency: Failure to communicate changes in policies and unresponsiveness to communications.

It’s essential to keep these points in mind and possibly look for other rental options that provide not just a decent apartment but also a pleasant overall living experience.

If only 0 stars was an option. This is a roach community run by thieves. Be smart, read the low-scoring reviews and notice how many likes they have, from previous residents. The truth about this place is written all over this review page and it's as clear as day. Don't make the mistake of letting these people trap you because the lobby looks nice because you WILL regret it. Worst property in Downtown/Edgewater by far for the highest price, complete with unavoidable and very-well-hidden-until-you-sign-the-lease fees. AVOID.

shady shady shady management practices. upon moving out of bayparc august 1 they bumped my move out date to aug 22 so they could charge me additional rent and short term rental renewal. even though i had already moved into my new apartment in another building. then they charged me double for monthly electric, pest control, water trash and sewer. plus i complained about mold due to constant respitory issues ... they laughed at me! do not move in here they are a substandard rental community that charges premium rates.

The unprofessionalism is astonishing, even past moralistic characteristic. Young, black male, who is a business owner & a restaurant manager, was unable to rent or even take control of his own time while being here. Before I continue, I need to state that this was NEVER about the money, but the devotion to JUSTICE & PEACEFUL LIVING.After subletting and finding out that the tenant was illegally doing so, I went straight to management and notified them of the situation. ("Starr" was with his impregnated wife, and stated he needed someone to take over the lease .)Notifying managers was my BIGGEST mistake. I quickly realized that I didn't fit the "criteria" of the people who lived there. Blonde hair, light skin, and a devotion to blessing sex workers. As I looked around frantically hoping they would give me a chance, bbls & fake bodies overwhelmed me, and not that I'm against it, but diversity is nice, no?MOST IMPORTANT: anyways, after realizing the gist of what was happening, getting told prices "tripled because of market", old lease was gonna end early and a whole bunch of bs, I realized the battle wasn't worth it. EVERYDAY while living there staff made me feel as if I didn't belong, it wasn't good for my soul.When I left for a week for mental health, financial, and stability reasons I came back to an empty apartment. 7k worth of furniture, TVs, expensive clothing and shoes (LV Ferragamo & Yeezys) all trashed. No warning. They had my number, I reached out to to EVERYONE, and they waited until I left to throw all of my belongings away. Without a Sherriff and illegally because they KNEW the process to sue them is too hectic and not worth it.They are bullies, and today I have nothing. No clothes, or anything, just square one.If you're a pale old wealthy person who likes young people and want a safe spot to play then this is for you.If you're searching for peace and tranquillity, stay away.Honorable mentions: Balcony views are that of another building. Trash with 2 BIG FANS are always blowing the smell of garbage in your place.Roach infested, literally. And I've sealed off corners in the place, still got in. As if they breed in the walls. Pest control does nothing.They cover all defects with paint, nothing is ever renovated. The smell of dog piss and shit exfoliates your face every time you enter an elevator. It's about the money and even too much of that won't get you blessed with Bayparc's entirety.The one black guy who works there, looks like a runaway slave that's happy he's not picking cotton for the rest of his life.Bayparc I wish I could say, but it really hasn't been a pleasure. Thank you, I PRAY AND HOPE management reads.cjw

Disorganized and dishonest. Had an appointment booked days in advance where I clearly expressed my needs. Got to the appointment and was told it was a no go after sitting and waiting and hearing talks about pest control coming in on Thursdays.

Today at around 6pm. My pregnant wife and I are not able to leave our apartment in the 38th floor because the fire rescue shutted down all the elevators for safety reason. Management response to every resident complaint, was they cannot do anything until the following day in the morning after the city inspect the malfuntions of the elevators. Management told everyone to use the staircase no matter age or disabilities. Myself and many people walked their way to their apartments with groceries, children, suitcases, etc. Others couldn't get to their homes at all. Elevators are a big concern to everyone here since they do not work properly, they rarely are working at the same time, and people get stuck very often. After living in this building for several years, it is time to move on. Due to very unprofessional and poor management, today i have decided to not renew our lease. Aimco seems not to care about their residents anymore and I'm not putting my pregnant wife through safety risks. I understand there is a new management in the house now which started a month ago, but that is not guarantee that things are going to get better. I have met 4 diferent managements in 7 years. One worst than the other. Today was the drop that overflew the glass. Under last management my storage was emptied out by mistake by the maintanance employees. The previous GM lied to us and said it was theft. Off course nothing we could do neither the police. We were offered a compensation through the building insurance but we never got a dime. The manager at that moment was Alexis Dimanchi. Entrances are not secure. Garage Gates are left open every time there is a little bit of wind without any guard on post. At least once a week you find security sleeping somewhere in the property including front desk personnel. Pest is another big issue here. Very very unhealthy and unsanituary since they started building the Arias on the Bay condo right next door. I understand the why, i dont understand the methods to solve the problem. Very very poor response. I could go on and i have a big list. I believe I could keep writing 10000 thousand words because we feel very frustrated and hopeless. All I wish right now is to live in a place where my wife and i can carrie our pregnancy without stress and troubles. UPDATE: 05/25/2017 NO ONE CONTACTED US AS REPLIED TO THIS REVIEW BY WHO KNOWS FROM AIMCO. Today a cleaning crew of unknown people to us was sent to my apartment to clean the balcony. By unknown people I mean they are not Bay Parc Plaza regular employees. We received a 1 day notification paper in our unit front door mentioning that a cleaning crew was going to enter our unit on 05/25/2017 from 9.30am to 5.30pm and ask to secure our pet if we had one. Today at 12pm I called management to ask them please and let us know at what time approx. so we could be present due to security reasons (since this is a new management I explained the same reasons mentioned above on this review). Please read the email I have sent to the GM 15 minutes ago. Hi Joe, I'm writing you in reference of the balcony cleaning that was performed today at my apartment. But before, I would like to ask you for my wife's security and mine, that next time you sent a crew of people that we don't know and/or are not employees of Bay Parc Plaza, these are in companion of a security guard. We spoke on the phone 2hrs before they knocked on our door and I have told you that for security reasons and bad experiences we had here in this same apartment, they were not allowed to enter my house if we were not present. And now I have confirmed that they're entering the units without security guards and my concerns are not being taking in consideration by Bay Parc Plaza management. FROM NOW ON, AND FOR OUR OWN SAFETY, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO ENTER MY APARTMENT WITHOUT US BEING IN THERE UNLESS IT'S AN EMERGENCY. NO PEST EXTERMINATOR, NO MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL, NO GUARDS, ETC. I have an IP cam installed so I will know. Email continues... about the mess they left in my balcony.

The location of this apartment is amazing, and I'll greatly miss my view of the Biscayne Bay. The place is generally clean and safe as well. Repairs are generally taken care of quickly. Unfortunately, we had to make 12 maintenance requests over our 7 months stay for the recurring issue of our air conditioner not working and the ancient, busted up washer and dryer not working. They were completed promptly though, even though they had to keep coming back every couple of weeks to a month. The package situation and the security people at the front desk are awful. Waiting for the elevators in a relatively newish building is also pretty annoying. The management here is absolutely, 100 percent terrible. Problems with them started with the $100 in monthly fees tacked on to the bill that we were not told about up front. Then came the nightmare move in, where we had no idea where to pull up the moving truck, and the roughly 8 maintenance trucks that were in the way of the moving dock, and the hour delay to get the moving elevator available and the door open. Then a week later there was a bomb scare in the lobby, stuff happens, but we weren't made aware of what was going on until a week later. After that was neighbor noise with loud music until 3am. I couldn't get it resolved with the neighbor, or the management, so I resorted to calling the police (they have better things to do in Miami). That still didn't fix that problem though. I also had a billing issue that cost an additional $100 extra month for the final two months that was never resolved (keep in mind, now I'm paying $200 more than expected per month). I ultimately spoke with the corporate people directly, but some things I guess are better just paying and calling a loss so I don't have to deal with a debt collector down the road. Unfortunately, I had to extend a month and two days, which cost an additional $440. I am dreading the move out situation and have pretty much no expectation of getting the deposit back, given that an otherwise standard fresh coat of paint will cost us roughly $200. I really don't recommend living here.

I sent in an application to this property and after it was approved (after checking my credit score, employment record, etc), I received a call from the leasing office to inform me that the apartment I applied for was not available, and that there were others available for $800 more than what I was quoted. In addition, I paid $1100 for the deposit for the apartment, but only received a receipt I would be refunded for $1000 (as in $100 application fee was not going to be refunded). To summarize, I was scammed for $100 for an application for an apartment that does not exist... I called the leasing office multiple times, plus texted the leasing manager, but was ghosted by all.

That building simply sucks. And the most upsetting thing with the google reviews is the responses that they give. They do literally nothing to help you. And they are far from being or act like a real community. The manager, Alexis is a joke. She is always sorry for you having a problem but she never has a solution or she is willing to negotiate. Is that why they call you a manager? Apart from the construction I had to face many other problems. My apartment flooded almost a year ago and they blamed my neighbor. I had to stay out of the house for a week (even though they had to keep the machines at least 10 days to dry) Since then I am facing molt problems and that apparently affects my health. They reduced my rent for that month to compensate the days I was out and then they charged me a 200 dollars late fee after I emailed Alexis to fix my statement. I sent her the email on time she replied after two days providing wrong days. But they charge you for their mistakes. Another time a drunk guy run into my apartment and the security did nothing. I had to call the police. (Believe me I have pictures) I pay around 2000 per month and my appliances are dated to WarWorld 1. So bad and they don't function. If I want to change them they have to increase the rent. That's ridiculous. Last but not least, I got stuck in the elevator twice calling 911 because the emergency button is not working. Twice in 6 months. While other times I had to wait for an elevator for 45 minutes. Today, Alexis was sorry again. I am sorry for her and her position. You should care more people!

HORRIBLE - RUN AWAY NOW! You come to this place and think "oh this is nice for the price" then you move in and reality hits. The walls are paper thin, the hallways are hot and stink, and there is constant hammering and drilling everyday. This is in addition to the hidden fees you are going to run into. All the hidden fees add up to be at least $100. Yes, they charge a cooling/air conditioner fee. So no matter what they tell you the price at the leasing office, it is a lie. Don't even consider trying to have a pet or a parking space. They will nickel and dime you for every single thing they can. They expect a 60 day move out notice in writing and will charge you well over $2300 per month regardless if you live there or not. The hot tubs are never hot and alarms in the building are constantly going off, shutting down the elevators. I have heard people banging and screaming inside the elevators from being trapped 5 times since living here. The Opera tower, which is directly beside Bay Parc Plaza also has constant alarms going off that you will hear while sitting on your couch or usually laying in bed trying to sleep. The leasing reps will not help you or work with you at all about the constant noise or any issues you may have. The leasing office told me there was no legal limit on how much they can charge for their apartments so they can charge us whatever they want. They will send you to corporate office, which never answers their phone. No one stays here for long and you will see why. Be prepared to be completely robbed of every penny they can get from you. It is only a matter of time before this place has a class-action lawsuit against them for the hidden fees and horrible treatment of their residents.

Moved in because the amenities and the view were so inviting. We had a pretty horrible experience. We didn't find the reviews on Yelp till after we had moved in but I have read through the negative reviews on here and we experienced mostly everything that people are talking about, and more. For example walking into an elevator with a pool of blood on the floor because someone got stabbed in it. Roaches, dog shit and piss everywhere, loud music at all hours..they raided someone's apartment while we were there and the SWAT team set off a smoke bomb that shook the whole building. We ended our lease early, and they held the full deposit - still totally worth leaving. I wouldn't let anyone I care about live here.

Do not live here! Incredibly distributing pest problem. Roach infested building. Staff doesn't care about tenants and the ongoing issues they are experiencing.Elevators are broken almost weekly leaving one in use and a 30 minute wait time to use, this causes overcrowding. (Example 12 people in a single elevator at one time during a ongoing pandemic) When you bring these issues up to camila the manager of this building she is terribly rude, unprofessional. condescending, accusatory, & lacks empathy. And did I mention ROACHES! Again do not waist your time with Bay Parc Apartments.

WARNING! DANGER! DO NOT LIVE HERE! If I could rate this place ZERO STARS I would. The level of unprofessional behavior by staff, leasing office personnel and the property management company, Aimco, has been profound. If you live here expect to pay through your teeth for sub-par living space in a mismanaged or rather un-managed environment. The building manager, a Patrick Mcgarry, for all intent's and purposes does not exist leaving you to deal with whomever is available - good luck. I lived in bay parc for over a year and never saw the man. Maintenance will enter without notice or permission, there are serious pest control issues (roaches), and the bathtubs haven't been replaced in a decade they just paint the bottom to make them look fresh. This fresh look does not last very long and basic cleaning and upkeep becomes harder and harder. The garage is an unsafe nightmare, gates never work right, reserved spots get taken and they tow residents cars at will and given the disarray of the property office you need a miracle to not have problems on a continuous basis. At move-out you'll pay $90 for them to claim they professionally cleaned your already clean apartment , and over $200 to paint the place with the stuff they have sitting around. Save yourself time, money and aggravation live somewhere else, Opera tower, The Grand are both right there and way better. And never live at an Aimco property.

The only positive thing about this building is the location. The noise is HORRIBLE. Between the construction during the day and people partying at night there is no way to rest. Management is not helpful at all in addressing noise complaints, which has lead to many calls with the police for noise reports. The elevators go down frequently. I always have fruit flies in my apartment during the summer. I also have seen roaches in my apartment, which has freaked me out. It will take days for maintenance to respond to calls. I called for an after-hours emergency of water leaking from my refrigerator on a Friday night. I was told someone would be there within an hour. No one ever came. It was not until Monday when I called the office to complain that someone showed up. Like I said, management is not good at all. I have emailed several times, and never get a response. I even emailed the address provided in the response on the Google Reviews that management has left and still never got a response. The company has done a really good job making the lobby area look nice, but don't let that fool you. It's not worth all the aggravations that come with signing a lease.

I came to visit this building with high expectations to call it home, but left truly disappointed and won't recommend anyone of my network to consider living here. Everything started fine but the person who was giving us the tour to myself and wife called Fredny Fleury made derogatory, and disrespectful comments during the tour and even after his follow up call. He compared having a baby to having a dog. Something you shouldn't say in front of a pregnant woman. He called me and after I mentioned that I have an emotional support animal, he's answer was "you can buy anything on the internet nowadays" what's his criteria to believe I bought a fake ESA letter over the internet? I found this rude, and immature. I believe management from this building should give proper training to their staff about customer service, and sensitivity in the workplace. Some comments although perhaps unintended are non acceptable and give a bad impression of the entire business.

I lived here for a year and it was the worst apartments I lived in my life. First the charge for pest control but it is infested with fleas and roaches. I had to remove my dogs from the property to protect from fleas and since moving them out they have been flea free. Second the maintenance will enter in your apartment whenever they feel like with no warning or knock. For example I was in the bathroom and they just walked in. Third they randomly charge you common room fees (ex. Elevators, hallways etc) and range from 100-300 that seem to randomly be added to your rent. Like isn't the 1800 your getting for my one bedroom enough. Keep it mind my view is the wall of aria! If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't let the nice pool deck and lobby fool me into signing a lease at a subpar apartment that claims to be luxury.

Never been scammed so bad. Got out of my lease early so I could get the F out of there. Half the building is under construction year round. When we signed up we were told there was an indoor basket ball court and there wasnt anymore! Also, they get you with this sales tactic saying now that you have been shown the amount each month for rent, if you dont sign today every day that passes the rent price will go up. SO YOU SIGN LIKE AN IDIOT! Once youre their washer and dryer are so small its 1/4 of a normal one. So many other things are charged a month for sewer water pest control (which is BS cockroaches everywhere) ect Worst part is the parking. $120 a spot. This made your rent which was quoted at 1800$ to be actually 2300$ with all the extra stuff. We could have stayed in a bigger place for that kind of money. Sometimes they charge you with late fees when you have automatic reoccurring payments??? HOW SWAY?? Isnt that the point is that you do this so you dont get any late fees? Now that we are moved out they never cease to F us. They are charging another late fee and I have been emailing the manager for a week with no response. Im going there tomorrow morning and lets see what they have to say about it.

There is a video that's gone viral all over the Internet. management is doing nothing to save the dog, neighbors are doing nothing to save the dog. ( The exception of the one who shot the video) please someone intercept the continued abuse of this poor animal and get this woman prosecuted for animal abuse. She lives on the 17th floor.

This place is horrible. Cars being stolen every night. The property manager Camilla is very rude and hides from residents when she needs help. There is also an employee named Aaron from Nfc Amenity. He always smelled like alcohol when you approach him and he would ask personal questions that is uncomfortable. I think they got rid of him which is a + for the building but still the other issues such as theft. A property manager who is a narcissist and very rude, and a vendor company that hires anyone and doesn't pay them on time ( nfc ). This place needs to change

Beware DO NOT MOVE HERE. The management company are a bunch of scammers. They raise fees while on an active lease at their own discretion, keep your deposit and stick you with a huge bill when you move out. There is nothing luxury about this building. There is always dog feces everywhere on elevators, hallways, garage. Hallways always smell like urine and weed. The place is extremely dirty. Your car will be broken into. No security at all and very unsafe. Homeless people always hanging out in the lobby and personal trainers training people in the tiny gym and management does nothing about it. The place is also bug infested. It's sad that Edgewater that is so beautiful of an area has that low rate building there.

Do not ever live here. I lived here for 2 years--- the pool was filthy and filled with cigarette butts, the staff was sketchy, the managers claimed some bogus rug damage -- kept my security deposit which I found out they used later to put in wood floors. The never attended to simple requests-- I lived there for 2 months without washer and dryer because management dragged their heels on fixing it. Disgusting place with equally disgusting and dishonest staff.

Really not a great place to live. It looks nice from the outside but I am counting down the days until I can get out of here. Elevators rarely are fully operational and some floors have roach infestations. I consistently see apartments pop up that are the exact same as mine and $500 less per month, assuming because people are trying to get out of here quickly

I haven't lived here but did come into the leasing office to inquire about their rentals and availability twice. The first time I walked in I had to wait a long time before I was acknowledged and when I was by a female, I was given the keys to give myself a tour. The second time I came in to apply I sat for about 30 minutes and was completely ignored by the same female that was talking to a contractor. I walked out and they could care less. Never came back.

EDIT: The response from the "owner" below is a great example of how the only reliable aspect of Bay Parc is that they will regurgitate the same generic "explanations" over and over again. While, not addressing specifics, deflecting accountability, and referencing phantom clauses in the extremely vaguely worded lease. I'm happy to attach the lease I was provided and a break down of the monthly charges they send. There is no mention of any of these fees and they were not disclosed to me when I asked before signing. As a result, questions I asked before signing, all turned out to be baseless and false. For example, the pet policy for service animals, as well as flat out lies ie: that the internet and electric was included. Not only is it not included, but Bay Parc charges their own electric fees (separate from what you pay to FPL). For instance, they charge a monthly "central cooling fee" that fluctuates but will always be a minimum of $40 (the basis was never explained) as well as a "energy conservation fee". Then you pay your electric separately. Keep in mind, each unit isn't monitored individually, but that's the "explanation" as to why it fluctuates. As far as the roach infestation that reached me on the 36th floor... I did notify at the first sight, it was hard not to as I was greeted by roaches crawling out of the kitchen sink drain to greet me. It within an hour of moving that I had 4 roach sightings. It was common to see roaches in the hallways or on the walls of the apartments. They switched third party pest control companies twice and yet it remained. Furthermore, I had to beg the staff to bring skimmer to fumigate my apartment. It took 5 days for someone to come. I also have pictures of this if anyone is interested as well. Finally, my car was broken into twice in two years living there, so no, security is not a priority. The gate is constantly broken and stuck in the entrance position. There is no security and they removed the overnight staff in the lobby. They let anyone in don't ask where they are going or who they are. But they will walk them to the elevator and allow them access to any floor of their choosing. Moreover, multiple times there was blood splatter in the elevator. Never acknowledged or addressed. And finally, there was a shooting in the building, you can find the swarm of police and corresponding video on Instagram on @onlyindade. BUT they are very on top of ticketing visitor parking, so maybe that's what she is referencing. ---------------------------- This place has wasted enough time and energy of mine for 3 lifetimes. So, I won't go into details about the many outrageous issues and problems I had here. It's a beautiful property that has been completely squandered. Over run by roaches, crime, filth. The only thing that is consistent is the exorbitant surprise fees, that are constantly added and/or increased with no explanation. These people take nickel and dime-ing to an unimaginable level. Save your time, money, and sanity. Do not live here. It's just not even close to being worth it.

Do not rent here! This building is infested with roaches! I have spoken to the community manager, Patrick about this and he did not even care or apologize. Very poor treatment to be the community manager. The assistant manager did try to help and find a solution to the issue but honestly no amount of "flushing" will get rid of the roaches. Every time pest control comes you have to take out your ENTIRE kitchen including pots pans and clean all the drawers out as if it was easy to do. Takes around 3 hours to do. Spent all day yesterday doing that for pest control to show up today 4 hours after they were suppose to and them not be able to spray since I was not home and my dog was not tied (never told me to). There are roaches all over my apartment can't even eat in the apartment or store food of the amount of roaches there is. This building should focus its efforts on dealing with this issue rather than investing into its pool and gym which don't get me wrong are great. I have spoken with other tenants and they all seem to have the same issue. The pest control does not help control the situation honestly its so bad you can even see in the picture below there is one INSIDE the kitchen stove. Aimco needs to take this situation into their hands ASAP. This building will not hear the end of this issue from our behalf until they allow me to break the lease or FIX the issue beyond just fumigating it every week cause clearly that is not the solution. Extremely disappointed to find that this "luxury building" or so they claim is infested with roaches.

Don't let the photos fool you. It's all a facade. It has 1.5 stars for a reason, don't do it to yourself. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live in Edgewater, choose a different property. Here's a -short- list of my experience in 2 years here: - The building has a massive roach problem. Look at all the other recent reviews here. Once you sign, you are now sharing an apartment with a roach community. - The entire front of the building has a strong odor of dog poop. - There is constant smell of backed up garbage in the trash chutes. - If you're unlucky and get loud neighbors, you can hear them talking and hear their dogs pacing back and forth all night with the paper thin walls. - Your balcony, if you are unlucky enough to face Aria, will be forever filthy and unusable, coated with a film of dust/dirt from the loud fans located on the ground level. - There is mold and mildew in the units growing in the closets. They will not do anything about it and it poses a health risk. - They have plumbing issues and when a pipe bursts and floods your apartment, they will use an industrial area fan to blow into your unit from the hallway for days on end. - Staff constantly comes into your unit unannounced with no explanation and don't even have the decency to turn the lights off before they leave. - You will pay for the lights and water for the building at rates that increase whenever they see fit, in addition to your own FPL and water. These fees will cost more than your own monthly bills. I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment and paid $30 in FPL, but $50+ in "community electric" fees each month. Same with community water. And community tax. And convenience fees. And parking taxes. And other fees you can't dispute. Patrick will not explain why, but he will promise "it's another company that charges that -- I will look into it" and hopes you forget to follow up. Stay on him like a hound for any resolution, but expect him to give you the runaround. You will either pay them or you will pay them with a late fee attached because he will not respond. Contact me via PM and I can show you the invoices. - You will pay move-out fees of $500+ which is not outlined in the lease. - Patrick will purposely avoid you if he sees you in person because he is a childish and inept manager that is incapable of resolving tenant issues. - The lobby is renovated, but the remainder of the building is not. There is disgusting stained carpet on all tenant floors except pool level. Don't take my word for it -- ask for a tour and see for yourself. - After a few weeks when you realize you made a mistake moving in, you will be charged 4 months rent if you attempt to move out early, plus all community fees for months you didn't even live there. - You will wait 10-15 mins for the elevators daily because they are constantly out of service. - There is always piss in the elevators. - That said, there are homeless people that sleep around the front door. - The "automated" parking system works 2 days out of the week, but on the remaining days you will probably be late for work while you wait 15 mins for the cars in front of you to incessantly push the button and wait for a concierge that is never at the desk for assistance. - The visitor parking fees are astronomical. After 2 hours you will be paying $25. And $50 for a lost ticket. - After 2 years of living here, there is still constant construction ongoing and unkept promises of amenities. - Concierge is always rude, unhelpful and clueless and Patrick has been caught instructing them to call the police on tenants. - They will mistakenly tow your car without notice even if you are a paying resident. - When you move out, they will provide you with a list of fees you will be charged (only if you ask) after having been informed you won't be getting your deposit back. - Most of the fees are community fees from +3 months in arrears that you never agreed to. When you ask for an explanation, one will not be provided - They will not provide you with a move-out inspection.

It was the worse year I have had in a building here in Miami. The roach problem they have is huge. There were roaches everywhere inside and outside the apartment. I tried to end my lease agreement due to an allergy I got from the roaches and they did not even accept it. Do not move there.

This place is the unsafest apt complex you can find in Miami! Do NOT move here! They are always to going to rip you off. They stole my stuff from the storage! They charge $35 for storage and steal your stuff!! Then they clean their hands saying that they didn't see ANYTHING in the cameras! Two months ago a BMW got stolen form the parking lot and they said exactly the same thing! They don't care about the residents! They also charge crazy fees when you move out, they charged me $700 dollars from a really small stain in the carpet making me pay a total of $1,300 for my moving out... They do free retouch painting ONLY for the residents they want. The ATM never works, the soda machine that they have in the pool is always broken and take also your money and in the leasing office they don't care. The elevators are always broken and the engineering stuff are always high on drugs. When the convenience store was open I listened one conversation between two employees trying to buy drugs there. That without saying that the apt complex sting like marihuana all over and they don't care if you have kids. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

If I could give no stars I would. Joe is a really nice guy but my experience living here has been terrible. The communication is a huge issue. If I was told accurate information and if construction occurred when it was supposed to I would have had a much better experience. Instead I overpaid in rent for amenities I won't even get to enjoy. Go elsewhere. The last thing you'd want to do is go to work everyday and dread coming home like I did...

For current residents, take screenshots when you pay online every month. They would claim that you haven't paid some old rents when you move out. They would insist on that when you tell them there is a mistake. It seems they're just trying to get some extra money. They would remove some amounts from the bill if you try hard. It's the worst move-out experience I have ever had in my life.

This apartment building management is horrible. I'm horrified by my experience and it hasn't even been 2 months since I moved in. My neighbors plays extremely loud music every weekend and on weekday evenings as well, I have tried to speak to management over 10 times about this. They have done nothing to fix or resolve this situation. I havnt slept properly in 2 months because of this, it's ridiculous for 2000$ a month. I'm so fed up, getting lawyers involved. Terrible building - if you value sleep or common courtesy , move somewhere else.

Don't move here. I am a real estate agent in the area and have heard HORROR stories from residents. Also, building was acquired by a large private equity comopany- Blackstone earlier this year. They have now been issung false collection notices to previous tenants as well as people who never lived in the buildings but applied and management had their social security information. Google Blackstone AIR communities. I never write reviews on apartments, or at all for that matter, but I am disgusted to see what they have done to my clients. Beware of this company. It is not normal for a rental building to charge a $850 application fee- RED FLAG!!

Worst experience I've ever had in a building, now that I read the reviews I realize I'm not the only one who hates living here. The experience with customer service is good before signing the contract, once you sign it is as if you did not exist, the elevators never work, you have to wait 20 minutes to go up or down, the apartment did not have points to turn on the light, I had to buy lamps for every corner of the house and as if that were not enough they limited my visits. The view is very nice and the pool is the same, but they are not worth the rent here.

I currently live in unit 24F and for months my apartment has been infested in roaches. The funny thing is that I can see roaches coming out of the AC ventilation fan, which shows that there is clearly a roach problem in all the building. I had the terminex team come in and do a deep floos and still that has not solved the issue. In addition, my unit has been fumigated various times. Whenever I bring the issue to the community manager named Patrick Mcgary, he just says to submit again a service request. Today they were supposed to come in and they did not. My sister who was there waiting for them said they did not show up. This building management team from Mcgary to the Aimco property manager for Florida called Tanner Sheehan are very good at providing mediocre customer service. I regret renewing my lease with this building. Although I must say the leasing staff from Anthony Wiseman to the cleaning crew are the only positive aspect about this building. If you are looking to rent avoid this place at all cost as all this company wants is to take your money and charge you extra fees under the table. They probably want to make up for the court fees they had to pay Airbnb after they tried to sue them in California. Avoid renting at this place at all cost!

My place was robbed, thousands of dollars of valuables including laptops and musical instruments. I could barely get a response from building management besides being given my renters insurance information. I was never allowed to see cameras as robbers managed to get past 24 hour security guards and cameras in every elevator.

Lived here since September 2017. Location is good and amenities/lobby is attractive, but the entire building is horribly infested with cockroaches (other neighbors have also talked to me about the same problem). I never leave any food out, throw out all garbage immediately, and everything I store in my pantry are in ziplock bags or their original unopened packaging because the roaches find their way into everything. I don't even leave food out during the day for my pets because I don't want the roaches to get at their food, so I feed them and clean their bowls after they eat (I don't want the roaches to have the chance to get any food and attract even more - it's disgusting). I just ended my lease and moved out, but I had to get rid of my couch and small rugs because there were just way too many roaches despite all the treatments and sprays I've used (I even used an insect powder in the apartment, but they still found ways to hide in the drains and move through the apartment units through the vents- I have wood floors, so I could only imagine how difficult it would have been if I had a carpeted unit). Bay Parc would send bug treatment services but it would only get rid of some but not all of the roaches, and after a few days they would be everywhere as soon as you turn off the lights or open any drawers or cabinets. I started keeping my dishes, cups and silverware in plastic storage tubs because I could not stand the roaches contaminating everything. It became embarrassing to have guests at night because roaches would run up the walls or across furniture. What was very disgusting was that sometimes roaches would fall down from the ceiling onto the floor at night - You can't even have a cup of water by your bed at night because one might be in your cup - you have to keep a bottle with a lid. I wish I was exaggerating but I feel that I need to let other future residents know so that they don't just settle for this place because of the location and amenities. Also, service people will come into the unit without appointment first, despite resident requests to be notified beforehand - it is common to come home and find a notice posted to the door stating that either the service person already entered or will enter the next day and there are no exceptions or chances to reschedule, so if you have pets you don't have the chance to remove them before service workers enter to spray chemicals. It is difficult to complain because other residents have the same issue and treatments aren't working because the insect infestation is too large to manage, so it was in my best interest to leave. It is too difficult to live working around a gross infestation so I hope that future residents are prepared to live in this situation since Bay Parc does not seem to have any plans to completely get rid of this issue.

I've had five wonderful years here until now. For the last five months, the property manager, Carlos Garibello has failed to address my neighbor's excessive dog barking (all day long, for long periods at a time, early mornings, etc.). We've had over 30 email exchanges (primarily me reporting the incident and him not responding). I've shared dozens of videos capturing the noise, and each time I called Concierge. I escalated it to HQ, and no one has made an effort to fix this.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! It is a dangerous community. There have been several break-ins both in the garage and in the apartments. Building has no security, no cameras, and the team will do nothing to assist you in the case of an emergency. The community regularly lies about the events that occur when telling the residents do diminish how bad things actually are.

The only good things about this place are the location and lobby. I was kicked out of my first apartment because of renovations had to be done on the 10th floor, which I was given no prior indication of such a thing happening. Of course, this was technically in my contract, and I was lucky the building had another open apartment I could transfer to but if they didn't, I would have been out of luck and in a VERY bad situation. The place is FILLED with roaches. I called pest control multiple times. They flushed, set traps, and I cleaned my apartment thoroughly but there was a ridiculous amount of pests all over. The traps would pick up so many roaches there was a layer of them. And they would still be all over the kitchen and bathroom. I believe the air conditioning is linked to the water. So over the summer, when there are water piping issues that clearly management takes their time to fix, AC doesn't work. The amenities are old and faulty. My washing machine once broke down and it and the wall started leaking everywhere and for no reason other than it was old. The service request crew is timely and fast, but the only fix for this flooding was a big fan blowing for literally days and hoping it dried. If you still decide to stay here, they will nickel and dime you for everything. Make sure you mark EVERY single scuff or scratch you see in your place when you move in. Even the smallest little scratch the apartment has, they will charge you absurd painting charges upon move out. Make sure before you sign off on anything, you get all your keys, etc. I was told I would be getting 2 sets of keys, only got one, and never got the second even after asking for them repeatedly. Yet I still got charged for "missing keys" after move out. Keep track of every single thing!!

You call them, no one picks up, just an automated message that says "they'll text you back as soon as they can" and then it hangs up. They don't even get your number. That's a bad sign already I'm X-ing this one off my list.

I've lived here for several years. Although there have been some improvements to the building, they seem to have been done without any real thought, and are done in a half-assed fashion. For example, the elevator upgrades have not made elevator traffic any better - instead it's a confusing system where passengers are "grouped" together but it's not efficient. The pavers in front of the building are loose, especially right in front of the entrance doorway, so it's only a matter of time until someone trips and falls on them. The ongoing construction (at a painstaking pace) means that construction workers monopolize elevators and the elevators are often filthy dirty. The halls which haven't been upgraded have dirty smelly carpets. The stench from the trash chute circulates through the whole hallway. What idiot decided it was a good idea to install white tile on the floors of a busy apartment building which is dog-friendly? The floors are always so dirty looking, and the cleaning staff just swabs the floor with their mops, spreading the dirt up onto the walls. And there are roaches, so many roaches. Then there are security problems - at night, the front desk staff is often gone for great periods of time, leaving the lobby completely unattended. The homeless people in the area know this, so they can be found sleeping just outside the building, and I've seen them sleeping on the chairs/sofa in the lobby a few times. They also enjoy using the bathroom facilities which are on the first floor, without anyone stopping them. The set up of the front desk, which has no access to the elevator lobby unless the staff jumps the desk or walks all the way around the hallway is just stupid. It has taken this place literally MONTHS to try to install a gate system for residents to enter the parking lot, but it's still not fully operational, so the gates are frequently open all night long, leaving residents' cars vulnerable to break-in. You get nickle-and-dimed to death with extra charges on your bill ("cooling fee," pest control, water, parking, sewage, even a BILLING FEE - that's right, they bill you for the privilege of getting a bill!!!). There is a review here about someone feeding the pigeons on the balcony, and the review said that an email will be sent to all residents asking them to stop. NOPE, no such email was ever sent. If you want to get the A/C filter changed for your unit, (which should be done monthly) you can't just get one from the maintenance staff, you have to submit a request through the on-line portal, schedule a time for them to come and install it. What a pain the neck. I haven't moved out yet, but based on other reviews, I fully expect to be ripped off when I do leave this place.In addition, there are a lot of shady people who have moved in lately - don't be surprised if you get on the elevator and find some big guy looming over young women wearing hooker clothes - looks like human trafficking to me. And don't be surprised if you get on the elevator and it reeks of marijuana, even though this is supposed to be a smoke-free building. I came down early one morning and found a whole congregation of seedy looking people hanging out in the lobby, drinking and carrying on, with the security guard joining in!There are a lot of dogs in the building that are not supposed to be here (pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, for example) according to the on-line breed restriction list. There should be pet cleanup products stashed on the elevators for when the dogs have an accident - it can happen, but at least then it would be easier for the owners to clean up the mess. A lot of dog owners let their dogs use the bathroom right outside the front door in the landscaping, making the place reek of urine.Also, though this isn't really management's fault, but whether you are on the north or south side of the building, be prepared for a lot of LOUD noise all night, especially over the weekend, as the sounds of some of your obnoxious thoughtless neighbors and nearby dance clubs partying all night long reverberates across the buildings. The building does have a good location, and it's nice that it's close to publix, there is a convenience store downstairs and the gym/pool areas are ok. There is a doggie daycare place which looks awesome if you have a dog. The lockers do make it easy to get deliveries of packages. The maintenance staff is pretty responsive. But these few positives do NOT make up for the huge numbers of negatives at this increasingly low-class building.

The apartments look nice on the outside. However, the building is infested with cockroaches. They're renovating floors so if your floor is next, expect to get forced out or forced into signing a new lease, even if you just moved in or renewed your lease. Expect to have your rent increased a minimum of $150 every year. Building management is a massive enterprise that will charge you a fee for anything they can think of. But at least the view is nice....

For all this high priced rent I have roommates who don't pay anything: the ROACHES. I have seen one in my apartment almost everyday since Sunday 2/17/18. Before that I had seen at least 5! I am charged for pest control yet the pest roommates are still here. There's nothing state of the art about he gym - there's no screen to Bluetooth my phone for workouts like I've sent in cheaper apts. not to mention no bars for the pulley machine. No business center for residents. A ghetto valet who smokes - BUT it's mkt as a smoke free building. Pet restrictions but any and every kind of dog is in the elevators. Roaches roaches roaches roaches

This a very awful apartment. It has been my home for the past 3 years, and I can say that on the security side it sucks. Sadly, I pay for a storage unit that the charge on an extra cost, but you on the same side sign something that they give up all the responsibility and they say that its all on you. The storage room was completely robbed. this is very curious, because there is only one key to get access nor they have a record nor they care to check who goes in or out and what they take. never to mention they lack of cameras for checking the status of the storage units. This is very unfair, since they charge and control everything on the building (AIMCO own the whole building) yet they are just in for the money that you generate but don try to make your lifestyle more comfortable, yet they only care that the building is fully rented and everything else doesn't matter for them. But I can say how good they are for you to be on time to pay. If you don't pay the firsts days of the month, they will overcharge you with $200 USD, and same, they don't improve on security, even if they are getting money on their pockets. One month after I reported the robbery, and they stating were going to improve the securities conditions (as the only way they wanted to become responsible for the situation - not recognizing any of my loses, which includes luggage, expensive watches, sport instruments, and more) I got myself into the building, and the gates (which should be closed) open all the way at 11 PM. Not to mention that there was no security person in the gates to check that nothing got in or out without be certain that they should. Long story short, the storage rooms are accessible from the garage, which makes my kind of situation easy for any people that wants to take something (again) from the units. What was my surprise? management said exactly the same after my robbery - we are working on the issue, it will not happen again - yet they still don't do anything. So bottom line its try to not rent here, they will not make sure your lifestyle becomes better, and they only will care of when you payment is due. Nevertheless, the girls that talk to you are very nice, but are not the manager, and the manager simply goes for the pockets of the company, that is revenue revenue - and don't give back much.

I applied for a condo here and got denied, leasing office took my 100 dollar deposit and charged me $750 dollars to hold my apartment until the results if of my application process, unfortunately I was denied. I have been trying to get my $750 dollars back from them and it has been a complete nightmare. the leasing office employees where assisting me through the process (Fredny) does not even have the courtesy to reply to any of my messages. If this is the way they conduct business then i can just imagine if you needed them or anyone from the association to conduct themselves in high standard. What a mistake to have applied here, it seems to me that they are just interested in making a commission and are not there to really help you. Extremely Unprofessional.. I hope once someone's reads this from corporate they do the right thing and return my money..

Worst place to live in Miami... Please stay away, horrible management. A lot of noise, this is an old building with a lot of defects inside. Be careful with you car bicycles and bikes, a lot of them have been stolen from the parking garage. Hidden charges after you sign he lease that are never discussed at signing. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR SAFETY...!!!!!!! With the amount of money you spend here a month you could live in a beautiful place here in this same area for less. Please check other reviews and you will see I am telling the very truth.

I applied for an apartment at this property that was never actually available. I paid a holding fee (which was refunded) and two application fees for both my fiancee and I (which I still have not been refunded). I was unaware this apartment was unavailable when I applied for it on Monday 8/1. I tried calling and emailing about the status of my application and did not receive an answer or reply for two entire business days until I had to physically drive to the building itself to get answers. When I first walked in they said I would not be seen without an appointment...pretty hard to schedule an appointment when nobody answers your calls or emails...but I finally was able to speak to someone and they told me that the apartment I had applied to online shouldn't have been listed in the first place and that it was an error in the system. She agreed to refund me all of my money, including the application fees, seeing as it was an error on Bay Parc's end. However, I still have not received my money back and until I do this review will stay here. One of the most poorly run, apathetic, mis-managed apartment towers in Miami. Don't get scammed by these people too.

Terrible staff in all levels. They look nice when you come in and when they have your money nobody seems to care. Our bike was stolen and the manager said "that always happens, call your insurance". The pool area is always windy, and my daughter got cut in the pool with a glass. The garage door for residents is broken so it is open to anybody. Anyone can come in the building and do whatever they want. Totally unhappy and waiting for our lease to end to get out of here.

All they care about is to steal residents money Rented their for a year , building was under total construction, didn't deliver their commitments upon finishing their construction on the right time.After a month of renewing our lease We got called to change our jobs to Orlando Talked to the leaseing officeres and they provided us with wrong information about how much to break the lease.Sent emails to their community managers But of course they didn't care about us or that we have been a good tenant ,never paid late or created any problems .they only care about stealing your money.We have been paying for an empty apartment for the last three month And we get charged every day I will be taking my legal action against this place .

Please save your money. I thought this place was cute when I first moved there, but it turned into a nightmare. Management doesn't care about you and is very hard to get a response or solution from, my apartment flooded bc the pipes are so old, roaches everywhere, pee stains in hallway carpet, my washer & dryer both broke & it took months of begging to get them to replace them, and they charge you random "utility" add-ons on top of your rent. The only thing nice is the doggie day care.

Hello, my husband and I were living 15 months as stipulated in the contract in this condominium from June 2017 until September 2018 ... from the second month of being rented the problems began. problems 1- We were robbed inside the car in the parking lot of the condominium where it supposedly existed or there is security, it is all a lie ... starting that we saw every person that lives there that gives FEAR. 2-They entered any person from the street and put the car without caring that this parking space already belonged to the residents and we passed many times and nobody to anything and paying two parking spaces each square $ 120 3- Horrible the smell of porro both in the elevator and in the hallway of the floor and pool. 4- We stayed for a year with a permanent noise in the air conditioning that let us sleep and never fixed anything, when the technician would not find the solution .. The dishwasher did not work well and they did not find what it was. 5-We paid the pesticide control and the cockroaches were on holiday at all times ... and the pesticide control came sometimes and sometimes not ... in the end we always had cockroaches. And finally ... they send you a statement a month before leaving the apartment telling you that they need to know the day we will leave the apartment to do the impecion and if we were to deliver the apartment without cleaning they would charge $ 90 to clean it. We as we are educated and clean people leave the apartment IMPECCABLE !! WITHOUT ANY SCRATCHES IN THE WALLS AND SUPER CLEAN .. THE DAY OF THE IMPETION THAT WE WERE TO CARRY THE KEYS WERE NO LONGER AND WE WERE LEFT TO LEAVE THE KEYS TO LEASE AGENT (ANTONY) AND THE REFUSE TO SEE IN WHAT CONDITIONS WE HAD LEFT THE APARTMENT IN OUR PRESENCE .... WHAT WAS OUR SURPRISE? THEY MADE THE IMPETION IN OUR ABSENCE ... AND 15 DAYS THEY CALLED US TO TELL US THAT THEY WILL COLLECT US $ 300 FROM THE MONEY OF THE DEPOSIT BECAUSE WE HAD NOT HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER AND SO WAS. !!! AS WE ARE PEOPLE WITH VALUES AND SINCERE WE MAKE THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE MUCH CARE AND DO NOT LET THEMSELVES ... SENORS IT IS NOT WORTH TO PAY $ 2200 AND HAVE A HEAVY AND UNPLEASANT ATTENTION AND WE DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE IN THOSE CONDITIONS AND THAT THEY STEAL US. WE HAD LEFT THE MICROWAVE, REFRIGERANT FRIDGE. THAT WAS YOUR ARGUMENT TO STEAL US $ 300 FROM THE DEPOSIT. I'LL UPLOAD PHOTOS TO SEE HOW IT WAS THAT WE LEFT THE APARTMENT BEFORE LEAVE AND THAT WE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT WAY AND THAT THEY HAVE STEALED US. ADVICE I GIVE YOU: 1-RECORD EVERYTHING YOU TELL THEM. 2-MAKE VIDEO SINCE THEY ENTER THE APARTMENT 3-DO NOT LEAVE THE APARTMENT CLEAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE BECAUSE YOU'LL BE STEALED EVEN IF YOU TRY TO LEAVE CLEAN .. AS THEY'LL BE STEALING YOU LEAVE IT IN BAD CONDITIONS AND DO NOT LOSE TIME AND MONEY IN LEAVING IT AS WE DID. I PUT A PHOTO OF THE $ 750 THAT WE GAVE DEPOSIT THIS WAS WHAT WE WERE RETURNED WITHOUT REASON NONE. SENSORS ATTENTION! THEY ARE THE TESTS SO THAT THEY DO NOT DECEIVE THEM.

Do not rent here! This building is infested with roaches! I have spoken to the community manager, Patrick about this and he did not even care or apologize. Very poor treatment to be the community manager. His assistant did try to help and find a solution to the issue but honestly no amount of "flushing" will get rid of the roaches. Every time pest control comes you have to take out your ENTIRE kitchen including pots pans and clean all the drawers out as if it was easy to do. Takes around 3 hours to do. Spent all day yesterday doing that for pest control to show up today 4 hours after they were suppose to and them not be able to spray since I was not home and my dog was not tied (never told me to). There are roaches all over my apartment can't even eat in the apartment or store food of the amount of roaches there is. This building should focus its efforts on dealing with this issue rather than investing into its pool and gym which don't get me wrong are great. I have spoken with other tenants and they all seem to have the same issue. The pest control does not help control the situation honestly its so bad you can even see in the picture below there is one INSIDE the kitchen stove. Aimco needs to take this situation into their hands ASAP. This building will not hear the end of this issue from our behalf until they allow me to break the lease or FIX the issue beyond just fumigating it every week cause clearly that is not the solution. Extremely disappointed to find that this "luxury building" or so they claim is infested with roaches.

DO NOT LIVE IN THIS BUILDING. THEY HIRE THIEVES AND SCUM OFF THE STREETS OF MIAMI. THEY ALLOW PEOPLE TO BREAK INTO YOUR STORAGE UNITS AND STEAL CARS RIGHT OUT FROM YOUR PAID GARAGE, AND THEN WILL REFUSE TO HELP YOU WHEN IT HAPPENS. SCAMMERS AND USELESS MANAGEMENT. DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!! IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. CRIMINALS

Update: THEY CAN 'LEGALLY' ADD FEES AFTER YOU'VE SIGNED THE LEASE! I've been in this lease for over a year and just now there is an EXTRA $540.00 a year for parking when we already pay $100 per month for parking. We got two weeks notice that our vehicle would be towed if we did not get registered for the updated parking bullshit fees that add an extra $45 per month for parking. Seriously, do not waste your time living here. I've lived here two years now and it is such a waste of money. Not worth it at all; looking forward to moving next fall. (If it was at all possible for me to move after the first year I would have in a heartbeat). Elevators are always broken (such fun walking up 38 flights of stairs with a puppy, groceries, and purse), ridiculous arbitrary charges every month that constantly fluctuate, rent prices are through the roof even though this is the most run down building in the area, hot tubs never work, internet in the lounge is garbage (I've reached out multiple times to ask for this to be fixed...glad to see all those charges I pay are going toward nothing), gym is made up of odds and ends pieces- most of which are broken, the list goes on. In short, you are better off renting from literally anywhere or anyone else than Bay Parc. It's livable, but the frustrations are just not worth the trouble.

Run! Don't walk. This place is a mess. Management will get you to sign a lease then unit will not even be available, this happened to us multiple times. Their answer each time? They'll try to find you another, more expensive, unit that MIGHT be available. We initially tried to get a unit for under 2K - lease in hand. By the time we were done they wanted to place us in another property at over 4K!!! Oh yeah and good luck trying to reach them and get an answer, that's a whole other process. They completely fail in customer service, response, and most importantly honesty. Why aggressively push rentals if you don't have any?!? Management and leasing agents are polite but seem poorly trained. Word to the wise, don't set yourself up for disappointment.

I got my motorcycle stolen from the property garage. The gates were open all night because they do not function in windy situations. The resolution of the cameras is terrible and we could not read the license plate of the van that stole my motorcycle. They most likely took the time to use a really loud grinder to break the huge security chain I had. The security guard on duty that night was not informed by management that the gates were open that night. There have been several vehicle break-ins and stolen motorcycles in the past year and nothing has been done to improve the situation. Elevators often break resulting in long waiting periods.

We stayed for 1 and 1/2 year paying 1 bedroom for $1800 and now they are charging and over price extra fee after we left for some little scratches that were made before we received the apt. It looks like you are getting a good deal in a beautiful area but in reality you will end up paying too much money for "extra fees" even after you left.

If you like to pricy rent with roaches then this is the apt for you. They have sprayed, flushed my apartment - all infective! The first 5 are from post pest control. I have emailed corporate to NO avail. Location is the only good thing. I refused to live like this. This is not defaming this what is going that can't be fixed. The pest control guy said he did three floors plus 15 additional units. Don't be fooled by the lobby. It stops there.

EMBARASSING! Customer service? - don't think so. You should definitely move here if you enjoy subpar service, an "it's your problem" attitude, and general ineptitude. My experience with this place has been beyond bad - just trying warn anyone reads this post. Read the other reviews like we should have before we dealt with these people!!!!

SERIOUSLY DO NOT RENT HERE!! I spent two years renting at Bay Parc Plaza and it was definitely not worth it. Like most of us, Bay Parc Plaza seems to be a great find until you move in. My main issue with Aimco and this community are the ridiculous hidden charges that are not explained to until you get your first rent statement. The charges seem to be never ending. The elevators are frequently down, hot tubs consistently broken, gym equipment out of commission for weeks at a time, etc. I have moved out and received my final statement and being charged nearly $200 additional for a scuff mark on the wall. Seriously?!? And when you contact the corporate office, you have representative talk to you in such a disrespectful manner. The best part of my experience living in this community was the experience of working with Yvette, the Assistant Property Manager. She is absolutely a pleasure, professional, and reliable.

I lived in Bay Parc for 2 years i was very happy I have never had a problem with the apartment or the place I payed my rent always on time when my second lease was going to end I start to look with the manager to move into the building to a different apartment. we couldn't find nothing I can pay so I decided to gave them a moving notice and I move out. I moved after a 32 days move out notice now they are charging me more for the move out fee than for the whole rent I used to pay. This people are extorting me to pay if I left the building is because I don't have the money to pay those expensive apartments so now they want more than a month from me even that I move out a month ago. They always find the way to take your deposit away and that is not enough they want to punish you and charging you an exaggerated amount after that. Im going to look for help this is not fair
