The Residences at Bexley Woods

I lived in this property from 2015 to 2016. First management team horrible. Second management team negligent. My car was hit by a neighbor. Management refused to give me their name even though I knew the car and the address. I fell on the un shoveled ice in the parking lot. Management did nothing. Windows and doors drafty. Management did nothing. Sink overflowed and flooded kitchen on Christmas. It took almost a year to be reimbursed for plumber. I gave my 30 day notice. In the middle of my move out I get an email from management asking me had I move. I told them no. Maintenance kept coming to my apartment during my move out time and going through my belongings. My items kept coming up missing. Two stereos, clothes, cds, walking equipment. MANAGEMENT HAS DONE NOTHING.

I have been at this property for the last 10 years and it has certainly changed for the better. My hopes are this continues. The new staff seems like they truly care and maintenance has gotten much better. The first time I placed a work order and they came right away. I definitely see the changes.

Lived here in 2014. All of the units need attention, and the utilities are insanely high (due to old, drafty windows). McKinley tends to have lots of hidden costs, so be careful.
It’s hard to get anything done with maintenance and the staff are a problem. Don’t expect almost any snow plowing/​shoveling. One neighbor had a her oven start on fire and still maintenance wouldn’t come out for weeks to disconnect it.
Oh yeah– and its incredibly dangerous. We had several cop chases by our building, and police helicopters searching the area with spotlights at least once a week. We had a few gunshots and one stabbing/​robbery right next door. There was also one hostage situation with a police standoff across the road, and they had to shut down our street.

Great place to live if you love cockroaches and paying late fees for bills you never knew you had. I also love how they raised rent when the laundry rooms are run down, the pools have been close since before we lived here, no nets in the tennis court, maintenance takes forever to fix anything, if they decide to actually do their job and fix it at all, they put eviction notices on your door cause they lose your rent payments. The new management has been here a year and has apparently put $ 3 million into it but it looks worse than when they got here. My whole building moved out cause the roaches are so bad. We also got charged fees for not being ready for cockroach extermination even tho it was only two days notice and we don’t have time to gut our apartment because we work so much, they refuse to work with your schedule so you end up being punished because their ghetto apartments are infested with bugs, we ended up exterminating it ourselves. We had to throw away all our groceries and spent a whole day clearing out all the dead roaches. We need our closet doors fixed and they said they would be here when we told them we wouldnt be home at the time and they do not have permission to enter when we are not home but they’ll be here anyway and say its our fault for not skipping work to let them in, if they actually show up (they never do). Theres a leak in our bathroom that im sure is starting to mold and its only a matter of time until the floor collapses from being wet. Dont let them fool you in the office, they’re only nice until you move in.

Cheap: $ 725/​month for a sizable townhome with 2 bedrooms and a finished basement, 1.5 baths, and enclosed patio. Easily can house three or four people, making it insanely affordable. Adding pet fees can make it a little costlier. Dishwasher, washer/​dryer hookups.
Decent amenities: Free tanning. Two swimming pools. A grimy gym. Sub-​par tennis court. Volleyball court.
Office staff: Very friendly until the lease is signed, and then instantly rude, unhelpful and slightly incompetent. We essentially had to beg maintenance for repairs. I had a HELL of a time removing my name from the lease when I left and my roommates wished to renew the lease. The complex kept calling ME three full months after my former roommates has signed a new lease that did not include my name.
Neighbors: A mix of quiet college kids, partying college kids, drug dealers and nice families. So… good luck.
