Tenant Reviews for 4300 BAY AREA BLVD

We moved in to The Park at Armand Bayou at the beginning of the year. Upon moving in the apartment was not completely ready, some maintenance issues with the cabinets and bathtub. They were repaired within a week of moving in. There does not seem to be much insulation in the walls because you can occasionally hear T.V.s and often hear water running and toilets flushing. The thin insulation also keeps the A.C. running all day. Trash is picked up on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the morning, normally by 11 am. However, people put trash out the night before and the raccoons tear through it and it gets everywhere. The parking is horrendous. If you are not home by 5 pm there will be no available spots. All apartments come with a garage and some with an extra spot, but people use the garage as a storage unit and take up the limited spots available to other residents. The management will not tell you these things when you are inquiring about a lease. If you have a problem with something they will tell you what you want to hear just to get you out of the office. They are no help at all. I would not recommend this apartment complex to anyone, unless you like not having a parking spot, unhelpful management and being able to hear your neighbor flush or take a shower.

All the staff in the leasing office are super duper friendly. The maintenance people are very professional. And living next to Armand Bayou is phenomenal. Where's my thesaurus?

As a resident of The Park At Armand Bayou Luxury Apartments for the past 4 years , I have only wonderful things to say. The property is so clean and well maintained. The management is very warm, friendly and professional, they see to it that things are taken care of, always willing to help. Their maintenance staff is prompt and efficient when fixing any problem no matter how big or small. I love the pools , the work out room, and the convenience of the business center with a copier, fax machine and computer, all available 24 hours a day. Best of all is the complementary gourmet coffee for everyone all during the day, which is so welcoming. All of these things together make it an absolute pleasure to live here and why I look forward to coming home here everyday.

I moved out of the apartment in 2009 and found out after I left i was charged an enormous amount of bogus cleaning charges including replacing the carpet which was in very good condition outside of a stain that was there when I moved in. I was hit with hidden fees and lied to by the property manager at that time concerning these fees. I was told it would be taken care of and I made the mistake of not getting it in writing. They will charge you for dust on the counter. I did a walk through with the property manager when I moved out and the place was spotless. I have tried in vein to remedy this situation to no avail. I also stayed 7 days over my lease waiting for my house to be ready, this I also cleared with the property manager who at the time I considered a good friend only to find out a year later I was charged over a GRAND. They are dishonest and will nickle and dime you when you move out..Never have I had such an experience.

I'm lived at the Park at Armand Bayou for two years. They are a decent apartments. There are just a few things I wish I knew upon moving in. Upon moving in I was warned that there were a lot of critters I thought they were just talking about raccoons so I said that was fine. Once I moved in I realize that because the apartments neighbor a forest the critters meant Big wood roaches, lizards and spiders. The apartments do it's best to power wash the outside of the doors but within days of power washing the spiderwebs and other critters are back. If you are an outdoor person this place would be great for you. If you are moving in I recommend buying "Home Defense" bug spray from Home Depot, it's amazing. Once I started spraying this every lizard and wood roach I found was already dead. The deposit upon moving is very expensive but I was very surprised that I got nearly all of it back when I moved out. Extra parking is nonexistent so if you have people that want to come over and visit you almost have to park at nearby stores and shuttle them to the apartment because there are absolutely no extra parking. The office staff is pretty good except them sometimes forget to put in maintenance requests. So if you want anything done please ask to speak to Michelle and Amy, they are great.

BEWARE they will not refund your deposit. We put $600.00 down on apartment before the tenants even moved out of the apartment we changed our minds. They refused to refund the amount to us. Do not give them your money! Very Rude!

The staff's attitude is the only reason for this low rating. They requested that I take down my Christmas lights because they can be seen through the window and all windows need to look alike...Seriously!?!? For the first 6 months I had to call maintenance every other week to fix my toilet before they replaced it, management/maintenance kept telling how to flush a toilet. I'm an adult whose managed a toilet just fine for 40 yrs. Once they replaced the toilet, no more issues! When I reported a broken gate, management responded "well I don't live here". I've had to call to request the grass to be cut, this should be a given living next to a nature park but they are concerned about the Christmas lights in my window. Not the landscape, not the torn up blinds in other units that have been that way for months, not the dog poop on the sidewalk or lack of doggy bags.......give me a break!

Pool area is gorgeous. Living on a nature preserve is great, but the raccoons are EVERYWHERE. Parking is horrendous. Being a single female I have now taken precautions when walking to my apartment after having to park many buildings away. Area is not well lit at nighttime. Walls are paper thin, don't talk loud unless you want to share your conversation with your neighbors.

I am probably one of the Park at Armand Bayou oldest residence. I am in my 14th year of living here. The location is great.. The grounds and pools are clean and very well-maintained.. Amy and Angie along with the rest of the staff in the office are very professional friendly and will do everything they can to resolve a problem. The maintenance guys are very helpful on time and always do a great job ! I highly recommend this property..

Very welcoming and relaxing property! I can't wait to get home at night and pulling up to the gate with all the landscaping and bubbling water is so soothing. I love my apartment and my neighbors are all very friendly. Great staff that is always smiling and responsive. Best apartment community I have EVER lived in! Recommend to friends and co-workers all the time :)
