Blair’s Cove Apartments

This has got to be the worst apartment complex in Waco. The only reason I’m still here is because I only have a few months left to my degree.
Brandi Boehm-​Land makes it sound so great when she takes you on the tour. They were in the process of remodeling the apartments, and the security gate at the front of the complex was going to be fixed «any day now.» That was a year and a half ago and it’s still just as wide open as it was when I moved in.
The day I was supposed to move in (and I called in advance to let them know I was on my way), no one was in the clubhouse to give me my key and they expected me and my family to drive all the way back to Austin and come back the next day. NOT ONE of the property managers was actually on the property when I arrived – a maintenance guy actually ended up driving out of his way to bring me a key. Brandi didn’t care, and all my insistence on moving into the apartment that I PAID FOR got me was her bad attitude.
Blair’s Cove went under a new management company about halfway through my lease. I thought that maybe things would improve, and very briefly, they did, and then went right back to the same old mess. This past winter, the woman who lives underneath me decided that it was a good idea to smoke in her bathroom and it ventilates into my apartment. I have asked over and over for management to rectify this issue and no one has done a thing. The last time I went to the office Brandi just sat there and stared at me, clearly not interested in fulfilling the part of the lease which states that residents are not to cause nuisances which affect other residents.
All of this to say, don’t live here. In addition to your rent, they charge you for pest control, water, and trash. You pay for any other utilities (electricity, cable) on your own, and to be honest the rent should not be as high as it is for the tiny space you get. I moved in because I was a grad student who just needed a place to live. I would never in a million years recommend Blair’s Cove to anyone. For the sake of your sanity, don’t move here.
