Tenant Reviews for 2002 SAN SEBASTIAN CT

I have lived here for almost a year and i havent had any major problems. just reading the other reviews i can say that there has to be a reason why they find it necessary to say such horrible things about this apartment complex. im sure if your angry enough with access to a camera you can find bad things about any apartment, anywhere. i had some new people move in next door and a few days later i had a few roaches but it was not as bad as other people are saying.i did talk to one of the leasing agents(who speaks perfect english btw) she told me the roach problem was due to the pest control contract being suspended? but she did say they just signed a new contract with someone else. in fact they just came to my apartment yesterday. i did notice however that the maintanence men dont speak english very well but as long as your not completly uneducated understanding them isnt that hard. whenever i go to office i always see them come in and ask if anyone has called for anything. i did overhear once though that they cant finish some jobs due not having the right parts yet?? but personally i dont think thats their fault.. but i havent had any leaks or anything like that. when i moved in they did tell me about the a/c and heating. but i havent had any problems with it so far actually i think i only used the a/c during the summer. i recently havent even used the thing. as for parking i have noticed that most people try to park in the very middle of the buildings. so naturally if everyone trys to park in the same place its going to get full fast. but i have no problem parking on the other side of the buildings. pets. i will say i have seen a few pits around but they dont bother me and i dont bother them.?i have recieved a few letters on my door about the pet feces in the halls and on the balconies but i can say that ive have never come across the problem. but im sure it happens, the apartment complex is in a closed building. you dont usually have that kind of problem with other apartments because their all outside so theirs plenty of room for the animals to urinate on the grass where its impossible to notice. as for noise sometimes i can hear people who are out in the halls but its bareable. ive lived in worse apartments that were located in the better side of town. if you ask me for an all bills paid waterview apartment these are great. i think if you come into these apartments with a bad judement about them then thats all your gonna see. but of corse everyones different and everyone experiences different things. but if you ask me balboa would have to be the best apartment complex ive lived in.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. The grossest place I have ever lived. Management doesn't care about the grossness. Roaches, Animal Feces, People leaving their trash in the halls. Vandalism on the laundry room.

THIS IS THE WORST ------- APARTMENT COMPLEX OF ALL TIME. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T WASTE ANY TIME LOOKING INTO THESE PIECE OF ---- APARTMENTS. 1. Getting into Harvard Law is easier than getting a parking space ANYWHERE here. 2. I had a leak in a pipe in my ceiling and instead of fixing the leak, they replaced the grid. They've done this 3 times until I fixed the leak myself on my own dime. 3. None of their employees speak A LICK of English. Communicating with them is absolutely impossible. 4. Our apartment recently got broken into. 2 flat screens, PS3, laptops, our SHOES, MIRRORS, even our liquor out of our fridge was stolen. Someone with a key had to of done it. All our windows were locked, our windows and locks weren't damaged what so ever. Management couldn't of cared less. Infact, the management basically blamed us for visiting our family for so long on Thanksgiving (less than a week) i literally had to BEG them to replace our locks. 5. They have a central heat and cooling system. So they decide when you get air conditioning and heating. I personally like it cool when I sleep. So I'm SOL. 6. The maintence scream and yell at each other right outside of my door in the mornings with no consideration for people who work nights. I've complained about this (and so have several other neighbors) it still continues to this day. 7. The washer and driers in the laundry room RARELY work, and the management doesn't reimburse you when their machines take your money. 8. The manager is a complete -----. I have never encountered anyone as rude as her. She has no respect for anyone. She literally sat on her cellphone and discussed her weekend plans for ten minutes while i waited to talk to her. She finished her conversation then got herself a soda, before she decided to ask me "if I needed something" The only decent thing about these apartments is the fact they are right by the water. Literally that is the ONLY thing about this hell hole that's tolerable. This is the worst renting experience I've ever had. Ever. If rather live in the 5th Ward then have to finish my lease here. Speaking of which, 9.it's 1 month 85% of the next months rent to break a lease EVEN AFTER OUR APARTMENT WAS BROKEN INTO!! 10. And last but not least they decided to raise everyone's rent 100$ starting January 1st. I know "all bills paid" sounds like a dream, I PROMISE you it's not worth it.

I as many other residents that live and have been living in this apartment complex and that never bother any body nor have problems with office nor employees, just as any other community that has normal problems, have been vey happy just like many other that also have been living for years. I do not understand how people can destroy their home, I have lived in other places and never call for braking parts in my apartment because I really take care of my apartment as my house because it is my house. Balboa in my two years of living here has change alot from maintenance to management and even the kind of people that has been moving into this place makes me very happy, people that is starting coming in to livehere and to enjoy this aparment complex as well I have been.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS TONS OF PROBLEMS. I have lived here for 7 months and for the last two we have had sewer problems with our bathroom ceiling falling in from the above apartment. Also, forget about staying cool unless you purchase your own window unit. The ac never works. The neighbors are very loud, always having parties at thier front door. And don't even think the office will help you out they are a joke and do not even care about our safety. It is very obvious when you tell Hiedi the manager that your neighbors have a pitbull and she asks has it bothered you. What a joke. I wished I never moved here. Probably the worst mistake I have ever made. Leaving after my lease. You can email me if you have any questions.

Always scared at Balboa. Please do not take your children near the water. There are so many bad people that fish here. They have no respect for anyone. They cuss and drink everyday. Wished I would not have moved here. The man in the office told us it was going to get better but I do not believe him. It has gotten worse. And now I see new people with pit bull dogs. The swimming pool can never be used because it is green. The sand volleyball court is terrible, they have let weeds overtake it. I could go on. My best advice is for you to stop by on a Sunday evening and take a walk around when the management is gone. I think you will get the picture!

If you want a place and the only place in Clear Lake that will take convicted felons and pot smoker kidnappers and child molesters this is the place for you!!! Check out the rap sheet on apt 1323 Jessie Gonzalez. he hates ------ too very prejudiced/. No criminal back ground check here he has an assault with a deadly weapon and the neighbor across the hall kidnapping great place just ask the Nassau Bay Police Department!!!! Pitbulls & Paroles live here at your own risk...every night at the pool a guaranteed fight!!!!

NASSAU BAY, Texas A pit bull owner was charged with intentionally releasing his dog, which then mauled a man and teenager, authorities said. Bond for Eric James Dowlen, 33, was set at $30,000 on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, Nassau Bay police Chief Joey Cashiola said Tuesday. Officers responded to a report of a dog bite at 9:24 p.m. Sunday outside an apartment at a complex at 2004 San Sebasti n Court, Cashiola said. Dowlen, who lived at Balboa apartments, had an argument with two people he knew, a man, 21, and a 16-year-old boy, Cashiola said.

The office staff is only an 'answering service' for maitenance or the office manager. Don't expect a call back unless you state its an emergency. The office manager, Heidi/Velma, OMG! The most ignoramus, unprofessional woman I have ever come across in my entire life and I've worked in banking for 10 years. I've seen genuine ****holes but this staff sets a new standard for rudeness and nastiness. When I complained about bugs I see in the hallway, their response "oh no we don't have that!" I've been here 4 weeks and have seen police called out repeatedly, just this past thursday night there were 5 cop cars at one building. I saw the manager outside and asked her if everyone was ok and did she know what happened: her response 'there were no police here'. They recently posted a notice on my door, 3 weeks ago, about a puppy I was babysitting for my sick grandmother, I apologized for the inconvenience, phoned my grandparents that I and the puppy would have to stay at their house in League City. The office changed my locks 2 weeks later while no one was there. When I asked why, they said they received a complaint the day before about the dog and there was no response back; mind you I have now been in League City for 2 WEEKS AND THE DOG WAS IN MY LAP AT THE VERY MOMENT THEY SAID IT WAS THERE IN THE APARTMENT!! This occurred on a Thursday evening, I was not able to get correct keys until 4 DAYS LATER. This woman does not even live on the property and is rarely there. An associate of mine is a lawyer and found a clause in my lease agreement that would allow me to break the lease because the living arrangement has become unbearable, unsafe, and they perform unauthorized tasks. Oh and by the way, she also is asking for trouble from a personal standpoint. She regularly invites herself in her tenants personal issues. My neighbor said she actually talked to her boyfriend who she shares her unit with, to let him know that his girlfriend cheats when he's working. The woman should be working a taco stand or something but managing apartments is NOT her forte'.. Oh yes the FELONS that live there! We know of two that live in our building, one for kidnapping, another for 2nd degree murder. One actually told me that these were the only apartments that would accept him. The washing machines MIGHT work, you're lucky to not hear your neighbors' business thru the walls, there are so many creepy men that live there and stare at you if you're by yourself (I have actually never owned a gun until I moved here, I am moving out today with no regrets and if you value your safety and health, STAY AWAY FROM BALBOA APTS ON 2002 SAN SEBASTIAN COURT 77058)

It's apparent the managers do not check residents that live here. There is a felon with a kidnapping charge that was released in 09 living here. WHY!? There are children running around these apts all the time. I have called management where they don't seem to mind, since he is still there.
