Communities

Its been 2 month since I moved in and my experience here has been horrible. I am getting hit with hidden fees like crazy. --You have to pay for their delivery service to the locker (one time fee) which they still deliver it in front of your door--The gym is being renovated but you have to pay for that service (not even prorated) even when you can't use it.--Electric service pay separately to Virginia Electric however... you get hit with the prorated service for the day you didn't set up an account of $50 one time service fee on top of that $5.25/month service fee for god knows what.Below is some of the charges from the statement (copied and pasted)--Vacant Service Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/11/2019 $50.00--Service Fee Conservice is a service provider contracted to prepare monthly statements and provide conservation resources. $5.25--Acct. Setup This is a one-time fee to setup your Conservice account. $10.00--Energy Conservation Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/06/2019 $2.00 (not even sure what this is and this is monthly or in the future going to be higher)PLUS$15/month per car for parking (not enough parking spaces...good luck)$50 for locker delivery service (they still deliver to door)$14.33 for insurance (if you get it through Bent Tree)PLUSWater Base ChargePest ControlSewerSewer Base (different from Sewer charge)TrashWater (difference from water base charge)I am not saying all the charges are not reasonable however, the hidden fee and one time fees are ridiculous.I currently pay $1500 base rent $30 for 2 cars $14.33 for insurance = $1544.33+electric+all those other fees will run you about $1750 minus the one time fees for everything.BEWARE!!!!

I was a resident at Bent Tree for almost 6 years. The conditions there became increasingly worse over time. One of my biggest concerns was the handling of community trash collection. As large trash dumpsters and a huge compactor were near the front of my building I was forced to see (and smell) this mess every day. I did not want guests to visit because of how embarrassing it was. I'm sure it is a very unhealthy situation as well. The conditions of the common areas was a problem also. Whereas other apartment complexes have cleaning crews that walk the grounds regularly, keeping the grounds clean, this complex absolutely did not. I could go on, but you get the gist of it. I would not recommend this complex to anyone.

Probably the worst ran apartments I have ever lived in. As touched upon by other commenters, you will be walking from giant or an adjacent neighborhood if you get home a little later. Management will never respond to you about anything. Th floors are uneven, I had a burner not even connected to anything. This place is absolute trash. Please do not move here!!

Experience was not a good one anyway you look at it. The staff was unprofessional and unable to assist in an efficient and effective manner. For 6+ months, there was a broken sink in my apartment. Management and staff were unable to successfully coordinate between the necessary repairmen and myself in order for that to be remedied. Additionally, not all charges on move out were assessed in accordance with the lease. Upon my request to speak with someone regarding this, I was ignored. Should you consider moving there, be prepared to (1) be overcharged; (2) not be provided promised living conditions in one form or another; and (3) not have any sort of effective or efficient communication with Bent Tree or Air Communities staff. Bottom line, I would not recommend engaging with Bent Tree Apartments, or with any property its parent company, Air Communities, owns due to their lack of care for their residents. Following up on my customer experience after being directed to Air Communities. The customer service I received throughout this process has again been tangibly distasteful. It is clear that residents are considered a disruption to this company and not a priority. The Air Communities team made a unilateral determination with zero transparency to the customer on how or why they are able to operate not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lease. Good to see another company free driving into residents' wallets as they please. Also, the posts regarding parking are true. It's a hassle. Residents speed through the parking lots creating i excess risk for pedestrians and children in the area.

I loved the management when it was ran by Lincoln. It is now ran by Aimco, and I have never encountered more issues at any apartment complex than at Bent Tree. It took over two months to fix our porch when there was a safety concern, and I have a toddler! There was a misunderstanding regarding visitor parking, and my friends car was towed. I spoke with the office staff and asked to speak to the manager. The manager was never put on the phone, and I had to speak with the assistant manager. That woman made me feel like an idiot. Horrible customer service. I have no idea how they will keep residents with management like this. Good luck. I will never renew my lease now that management has changed. Horrible. JUST TO ADD TO THE MESS, I was able to give the name and exact date of the person from their office who gave me incorrect information, but it was MY FAULT since they are not able to verify what was said during the conversation. WHY NOT ASK YOUR EMPLOYEE WHEN THEYRE IN THE OFFICE AGAIN?!?! WORST MANAGEMENT/CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!!!

Avoid this complex. The new ownership is not interested in improving the quality of life at the complex as they are increasing their profit. Since taking over, they have reduced the number of parking spaces by creating additional un-covered "Reserved" spaces trying to force residents to pay - especially, if they are unfortunate enough to work hours that have you returning home after 8pm. At that time all the free spaces are taken. You rent an apartment with the realistic expectation that there should be adequate parking to accomodate the number of residents, not drive around for 45 minutes hoping someone has to leave and you can grab their spot - like a perverse game of musical chairs. And heaven forbid you should park in one of the unrented vacant "Reserved" spaces, you will find your self paying a $165 towing charge after tracking down your vehicle's location. Trash "valet" is a joke where tenants leave their trash outside their door - many all day for the 7-8pm pickup. And if the bags break when they are "valeting" them to haul the trash away, they just leave the dirty dipers, spoiled trash laying in the halls waiting for someone else to pick up. Lights in stairwells go months before being replaced and the piled up trash around their dumpsters has to be a health violation. I am moving out as soon as my lease is up as the frustration, hassles, cavalier management attitude, maintenance requests that take 4 weeks to address, is not worth the $100/mo. you might save. But if you would like to pay for an apartment, pay for a guaranteed parking spot or even pay monthly for a plot to grow a garden, this is your place. It just won't be mine.

Some staff are friendly, maintenance staff don't seem to care, good location. The apartment buildings are a very old, and something breaks on a weekly basis.

During my time at Bent Tree the quality of life has gone down significantly.1st - The parking situation currently is a disaster. All but a couple dozen spots are assigned parking. This parking might not be anywhere near your apartment and is a separate fee. The little visitor parking that exists is functionally non-existant since it's always full with residents cars. You will not be able to have anyone visit without risking their being towed.2nd - The removal of several amenities to make room for additional parking.3rd - A lack of enforcement of the non-smoking policies. These policies are not effectively enforced and people openly smoke on their balconies and parking lots.4th - Their "newly renovated apartments" had many, many issues with the installation of doors, windows, and appliances incorrectly or sloppily. While maintenance did correct these issues they clearly went with a bottom of the barrel contractor for these renovations and did little to no follow up to make sure things were done properly.Do not rent here, it is not as advertised.

if your looking for a place where nobody knows whats going on or whats happening this is the place for you. you need a question answered? that will never happen. you want to move parking spots? its going to be like pulling teeth. please spend extra money and go somewhere else between ALL THE HIDDEN FEES and broken amenities ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!

you will get horrible service and maintenance, everything in apartment is old so like your AC may not work heat may not work, they will avoid all cost to fix it and will take several months to service and fix it if your lucky. The customer service in the front office is nice but on weekends only have one person in the office so you will be waiting in a line about an hour min. Word of advice, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAP HOLE, YOUR BETTER OFF PAYING A BIT MORE AND GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE BELIEVE ME. They don't really follow up, logistics are very unorganized,

So unprofessional people/staffs, worst after management changed, they are not sure about what they are doing, if you need to meet the staffs regarding anything makeup your mind to separate couple of hours for even a small stuff, experienced a lot of times. Weird staffs, really upset.

The worst place to rent from!! You will never find parking after 9:30pm-10pm!!! On top of that my car got towed last night and I had to pay $160 to get it back today! The management run by this apartment sucks and they do not care! I highly advise the people to find somewhere else to rent. I can not wait for my lease to end in a couple of months!!!

Did a tour of the property, liked what I saw, applied right on the spot. Unlike EVERY place I toured, to apply I had to pay a $500 deposit with a $50 application fee. No exaggeration, I was turned down within 2 mins! They instantly took those funds out of my acct. One week later and I still do not have my $500 back. Aimco management company conveniently does not have the info on their website on how to contact them. I just found a post where someone went thru the same thing last year. HOW DO YOU TAKE MONEY INSTANTLY, REJECT THEM AND THEN NOT REFUND THE REFUNDABLE MONEY??? DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU HAVE $500 TO THROW AWAY!!!!

This location doesn't deserve even one star. It became impossible to live in this apartment complex. First year was a very good to live here, but the second year is horrible. I decided to write this review because I don't see any resolution about the issue I adressed to Aimco leasing office since summer. The life become horrible after a neighbor moved in with a dog which is constantly barking untill noon every night. I addressed this issue to the leasing office, I don't observe any improvements, it looks that they are ignoring me, they just want to make money, but they don't care about people living in here. A big disaster is with the parking. They made a lot of reserved parking lots to drag more money out of the people living here and if you come after 10 in the night you barely find a space to park. Also they are charging for the mail packages, before this was free. I am very disappointed about this place. I am counting down the days to get out of this community. The worse place I ever lived.

This apartment community is the worst I moved in to become close to work and the staf was so helpful to move me in. But once I moved in it was a nightmare they don't have parking for the tenant Instead they build only payed parking spaces and there is no street parking I had to beg for devices at my apartment for three months and when I contacted the manager expensing my concerns she was upset about it. The halls are dirty and no one cleans them . The staff is unprofessional and I was getting prank phone calls because I complained and the staff was entering my apartment when I was at work without notice I had a hidden camera I had to move from the constant harassment.

Current resident! I ENCOURAGE YOU TO RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ASAP! see MOLD and MILDEW build up IN OUR HVAC UNIT! DISGUSTING!! I can go on and on and on.... just don't bother with this dump

I used to like living here. Everything has changed in the last year or so. Parking sucks and they still charge us monthly for it. There are at least half of the reserved spots not being used. They built a second dog park instead of fixing the basketball court which is across the street and barely anybody knows about. I've had issues with maintenance not showing up for days at a time. Our stairs and walking areas are almost always dirty. We have had communication problems as well. The phone is never answered and emails are responded to days later. Not the way someone wants to treated if they're paying rent to live somewhere. Old management was way better.

You're done being treated like "family" as soon as you sign your lease. The leasing office is severely understaffed, they never answer their phones when you call, and when they do they hang up on you. My partner slid on a water heater cover and fell in when it was raining. We told management, they did nothing but ask if he was fine! What if it were a kid? Worst attitudes ever from leasing agents, as if your problems are your own fault. QUICK to bill you for leaving anything outside your front door. Take your money ANYWHERE else. This is their job, they don't care that it affects your livelihood.You pay for parking, but they will tow you no matter what! But once they tow you the leasing office cannot help you, even though you had your paid parking pass on the top right of your windshield. Sounds great right? Their package delivery system is a joke. You pay $50 annually for a locker system, and they don't even notify you when your package was delivered. You have to go into the LuxerOne app and talk to their customer service. Leasing office will tell you there's nothing they can do. I had my package stolen recently, the leasing office asked if I had called the police already (sounded like sarcasm). It was a $4 package, I don't need the police, I need the protection and surveillance I was promised when I bought a locker space. Truly counting down the days until I leave this disgusting establishment. The manager's name is Sonia, and she is far from a decent manager. The property manager's name is Andrea, and she's even worse. Need a maintenance request? By your third submission, they should be on the way. Maintenance men are no issue, in fact very thorough and quick, perhaps the nicest thing about this place.Leasing office is truly ran by grown women who act like high-schoolers. God forbid you're passionate and upset about your problem, they'll pretend they never received your voicemail. But once you go into the leasing office physically they act like that had never happened. AVOID this community like the plague. I'm counting down the days until I get to leave this horrible place.

I'm wondering if there is any rating less than one star?!

The office management people are not there to listen to you. They're only there to get the money is what I have felt from them. They were not friendly at all when I was speaking with them. I would ask them to fix something in my apartment and they would just start talking about different thing and don't even listen to what I'm trying to say. Everyone in the office is not willing to listen. If you're just going to live here and not do anything else, it's the best location but if you're really going to live here like you're living at home, this is not the right place for you to live.

New change of management companies = terrible service. Moved out about a month about to Bell Fair Oaks - much better service. Both my boyfriend and myself had tried via e-mail and phone to contact them 7 times over the past two weeks regarding the move-out inspection follow-up without any response at all. The management company before had their faults, but was at least responsive. The previous maintenance team even came out after hours to address issues for us. This new company could care less if your unit was on fire. For the price you pay for be in Centreville for God's sake, you think they'd give a damn about their residents.

zero stars! For reference, I paid my rent on time every month and left the apartment better than received and had zero deductions from security deposit. A few things that happened during my tenancy: - Was missing actual windows in the middle of winter for almost two months. I was never reimbursed for heating fees 3X the normal usage. -Literally part of a MAC make up container was glued onto the bathroom faucet as a replacement piece. - Went almost a month without a functioning AC because they "forgot" about my service call - Carpet beetles for months with no action - Had to wait weeks and put in 3 repeated service requests because maintenance thought it was ok to have a mold covered dishwasher.Eventually it was replaced. - Carpenter Bees EVERYWHERE in the spring/summer because the place is literally rotting. - Was invited to a welcome event via email and promptly kicked out once I arrived because it was for invitees only??? - Contractors showed up at my apartment on several occasions without proper notice as due by law. - Never given proper notice as required by law for move out inspection. Employees retaliated against me when I pointed this out. -Charges for trash and other items that were inconsistent and/ or violated lease agreement. The list goes on. Avoid this place at all costs Aimco only cares about how much money they can squeeze out of you for everything.

Have lived in this community 4+ years and I made the mistake to renew my lease for one more year and I just found out that I have to pay $15 a month for every car parking and they argued that they sent me a letter which I never received. The community its smoke free however my neighbors smoke every day and if I turn my AC off the entire apartmen smells awful and the leasing office managers are not doing anything. also $15 a month for trash removal and I have to walk to the dumpster and put the trash away. $5+ monthly fee for the company that generates an Online monthly bill. DO not move to this community unless you want to pay extra money. I also have put up a request 4 months ago because there is a water leak in both bathrooms and the floors and drywall is damage and the maintenance crew never shows up.

Lived here for two years and I would not recommend it to anyone. Parking is a nightmare and even after reporting cars that have been in the same spot for days without a Bent Tree sticker, management won't do anything. They threaten towing but never actually tow. Residents park in visitor spots or behind other cars. Management is not responsive online or in person. There is a bogus fee for paying your rent with a card. In the apartment itself, paint chips from the walls and the bathtubs. Blinds break easily or straight up fall down. There is little to no warning from maintenance. The package room is a nightmare. The only good thing are the door locks.

for real, even one star is too much. I wish I was able to use all bad words to describe how awful the new management is.unfortunately, I continued my contract with them and then they started to renew the community.the answer to all the sounds and dirtiness is we try to make comfort. but seriously?! the parking lot is like a jungle if you get first you are the winner. people use their motorcycle as something to hold and reserve their spot. if your neighbor walk in the upper level you definitely will hear that and if the one living in under you, be sure that you will hear the sound of music.and about the people that work in the leasing office, they are intelligently ignoring your request and for the same problem, you should contact them more than 6 times in minimum. I visited the people in the leasing office more than 17 times which nobody can believe that and I ended up that I should call the police for my problem.when you ask for something most of the times you hear these "we don't know" "we will update you" " we will take care of that" but the result is that you should see them again.and the good points are less than the bad points. if the rent is cheap in somehow(that you will be faced by a lot of hidden fees), doesn't mean that you live in peace and comfort. be smarter. don't? be like me :)))

I am a current costumer for Bent Tree apartment, my ac hasn't been working for the last 2 weeks, I was told ac part had to be special order so I'll be 4 weeks without ac, just go somewhere else to rent

worst paid parking i have seen after dark you have to entire community for parking

Parking is awful. Trying to park past 8 pm is a struggle none the less. The community here doesn't seem to care for any rules set forth by the leasing office. When I first moved in I was told that this was a Smoke free complex, the second I parked the moving truck I see 2 separate groups of people smoking outside my soon to be apartment. Noise complaint are ignored at Bent Tree so if you are naturally a noisy person this is the place for you. I've probably submitted 10 noise complaints and that doesn't do anything. Overall I would recommend not living here.

Worst place to move into. Parking is messed up, maintenance never come and if they do they dont listen to the preferred time. Leasing office oh man where do I start. They never answer. Always say this and that and dont keep their words. Airbag theft literally all the time and they dont do anything about it and only send emails. As if that will help? Dont return deposit and charges for paint when they should be responsible to repaint the walls for next tenant. No visitor parking without a pass from the leasing office when they literally close so early. So no last minu guests. So much more but i am too mad to talk about my experience at bent tree. Seriously, go somewhere else people.

Scammers!!!! Full paint job. Full clean! Damages and termination fee $7000. I'm glad I took a nice video of my empty, clean apartment when I vacated it for the judge to see. This has to stop, and the three people in the rental office need to be held accountable for the lies they produce just to scam people out of money. Along with that, someone goes out of their way to stage some dirt or something in the refrigerator and other places to say they had to clean.You have to be thinking mighty hard to stage dirt or anything to scam former tenets out of there money.

I'd previously given this complex a better rating, but with inconvenience after inconvenience compounding, they're quickly falling out of favor with us. The office staff try to be helpful, but the new property management company, AIMCO, is just way stricter, more bureaucratic, and prone to mistakes than the old one. Towing is strict, parking limited, and LOTS of hidden fees. You pay WAY more than just rent here. Not a great place if you love animals or privacy, as they will often just barge into your apartment, giving you "notice" by saying, "sometime this week." Overall, it's become your run-of-the-mill, poorly-managed complex, run by a big company with low standards.

I moved out months and months ago. I was curious to see if the apartments reviews were going to continue to go down.... as I KNEW THE REVIEWS WOULD. Shockingly, I saw a bunch of 5 star reviews. Then, I saw who were writing the reviews. If you look at the actual people writing positive reviews, you can see that they all work for Bent Tree in some form. Whether it be landscaping people or contracted people in the rental property industry. THAT IS NOT HOW YELP IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! These people writing positive reviews are extremely biased.... and probably ARE NOT RESIDENTS! I hope Bent Tree isn't paying them extra or pressuring them to write false reviews. Obviously, it is one of the two.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of living at Bent Tree, and I must say that it was an absolute nightmare. I cannot stress enough how much I would advise against signing a lease with this establishment. First and foremost, cars in the community have been being broken into on a regular basis. The lack of adequate security measures is evident, leaving residents feeling unsafe and vulnerable. It is deeply concerning that the management has not taken sufficient action to address this ongoing problem. Furthermore, the removal of community amenities, such as the car wash area, only added to the disappointment. These amenities were likely key selling points for many prospective tenants, and their removal without any alternative was a significant letdown. It reflects poorly on the management's commitment to providing a comfortable living environment. In addition, assigned parking spots were a complete mess. They were unorganized and often located far away from residents' actual apartment units. This inconvenience alone would be frustrating, but coupled with the lack of attention to detail, it became clear that the management prioritized revenue over resident satisfaction. Charging fees for package delivery is an unnecessary and unreasonable practice that showcases their profit-driven approach. The maintenance staff is equally disappointing. They take an exorbitant amount of time to address maintenance requests, and even then, the quality of their work was subpar. It was disheartening to witness them casually strolling around on golf carts, seemingly uninterested in their responsibilities. Visitor parking is also an absolute nightmare. If you have more than two cars registered, you were forced to park in the visitor parking area, despite paying a parking fee. This resulted in a severe shortage of parking spaces for actual visitors. Finding parking after 12 pm is nearly impossible, leaving residents and their guests frustrated and inconvenienced. In conclusion, Bent Tree Apartments is without a doubt the worst complex I have ever had the misfortune of residing in. The constant break-ins, removal of amenities, disorganized parking system, excessive fees, and careless attitude of the management and maintenance staff all contribute to an unacceptable living experience. I strongly advise anyone considering these apartments to explore other options. Save yourself the headache and find a community that values its residents' well-being and satisfaction.

In my 3 months being here I got towed three times and not a single one was my fault and instead of paying for it they made me pay out of pocket and they just reduced the amount from my rent so if I had no money to cover it my car would be sitting with no fault of my own and now they cut off my electricity, again to no fault of my own and we lost about $500 in food and milk that was breast milk that was pumped and have had no power for three days and renters insurance here does not want to cover it and again to no fault of my own and we still don't have electricity and don't know when it will be turned on and all the leasing office has said is I'm sorry I know that sucks. I would give 0 stars if possible parking sucks 90% of times my visitors have to park across the street my spot is far from my apartment and they add so many charges they don't talk about I'm the beginning suck at giving mail keys the only good thing here is the maintenance team which I imagine is from the amount of practice they get again I do not recommend this place I'm the slightest.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! First and foremost, it is evident that the sole focus of the company is making money and charging fees wherever possible. Instead of fostering a positive living environment, the management seems to prioritize finding new ways to extract additional charges from the residents. Furthermore, so-called "remodeled" apartments are nothing short of disappointing. The management's definition of remodeling appears to be limited to a hasty paint job, with little attention given to actual improvements. The lack of quality and attention to detail in these "remodeled" units is disheartening and misleading, and we're left with subpar living spaces. In addition to these issues, the overall level of organization and professionalism within the company is severely lacking. Communication from management is often inconsistent, delayed, or entirely absent, leading to confusion and frustration among residents. Lastly, newly implemented assigned parking system has been nothing short of a nightmare. It seems as though there was little thought or consideration given to the placement of assigned parking spaces in relation to the corresponding apartment units. Instead of ensuring proximity and convenience for residents, the assigned parking spots are scattered randomly throughout the complex, leaving residents to trek significant distances from their parking space to their apartment unit. This lack of coordination and planning demonstrates a complete disregard for the comfort and convenience of the residents. Save yourself the headache and do not move here.

Run and DON'T look back. If you want terrible customer service, rude members, then this is the place for you!! They never answer the phone, or emails. Parking is atrocious, prepare to walk a whole lot back to your building after 8 pm. This place is a living nightmare. And I can bet that some automated message will be posted in the response to my review! We always get it. Everyone we post a bad review on Facebook, google, yelp. It's the same sad response. Hey bent tree, aimco, save yourself the "time" of copying and pasting a halfass response.Absolute lie, it's been a MONTH since they met with her. When you guys had that bbq. That was last week? No.

We have been living in this complex for about 1,5 months. Even though the leasing office rep who was signing us up and worked with us was very responsive and nice, there were so many issues with everything else. There has not been a week when we wouldn't have to go to leasing office or submit the requests for maintenance. Initially, when we came to check the apartment, there were issues with a lot of things (so it wasn't inspected by their staff). We filled out the inspection sheet but still not everything had been fixed until today, even though we brought it up few times. I guess as long as it's not life-threatening, they don't care about your comfort. It is just an old complex poorly maintained. We were happy that we could lock in the rent for more than a year prior to moving in, but now we wish we could move out...

This is the absolute worst place to live. Bent Tree is run by awful people. We were one of the apartments in the fire there recently. Everything was destroyed except our bedroom. They didn't let us into our apartment until over a month later and then only finally found us a way in so they could continue with their construction. To get us into our apartment they knocked down a wall ruining the majority of items in the only room that wasn't destroyed by fire. We also found out that people had been stealing things from our apartment in the time that they wouldn't let us in. They blew us off about these issues. Even before the fire they were horrible. They knocked down our smoke alarm while in our apartment working on something. When we told them it was broken they said they would be right on while completely dismissing us never being fixed. These are small overpriced apartments run by lazy people who do not care about their tenants needs. They treated us terribly during an already difficult time.

The past 3 months have been a nightmare. They're renovating all the apartments which is fine but taking way too long for it. The noise starts at 8am Monday through Saturday all day until 7pm. We are exhausted, our animals are scared and changed their behavior and it is just stressful. They came to replace all of our windows and bothered us 3 more times to check if everything was completed- couldn't that have been checked only once? I'm so so happy when our lease is up so we can get the hell out.

EDIT: In response to management's reply. None of the tacked-on fees were disclosed to me during my move-in process. I discovered them long after I had signed my lease. I sent numerous emails to the leasing office that went unanswered before I finally contacted upper management in AIR communities. It was only then I received a phone call. I never returned the call because I had already made up my mind to move out based on how poorly the parking situation was handled as a whole. I have since left Bent Tree and cannot be happier with the decision to move. Do not move here. Listen to all the bad reviews. Find a community where you are valued and respected as a resident. Save yourself a headache and move elsewhere. Parking is a mess to put it mildly. All apartment units are assigned two parking spaces. If you pay for a third or fourth vehicle to be parked in the community you have to park it in Guest Parking. There are 35 marked guest parking spaces in three different locations throughout the community. These spaces are always full. Forget ever having guests over since these are filled with residents who own more than two vehicles. Management told residents to call the towing company if someone has parked in your reserved space. When residents called the towing company we were told towing was not being enforced in the community yet. This has lead to residents placing cones, tables and chairs in their assigned spots. One vehicle misplaced causes a domino affect as there is no longer ANY open spaces. They got rid of the car wash area to allow more parking but the issue continued. So we ended up with no cad wash and nowhere to park. In addition to the parking, you get to pay $60 a year just to have a package locker. If you don't pick up a package after two days you are charged $10 per day until you pick it up. There are frequent vehicle break-ins in this area but residents aren't allowed to equip their homes with Ring security door bells. This is a lease violation according to management. Upon move our you are required to pay a $125 cleaning fee or proof of a hired professional cleaning service. Management is largely unresponsive to phone calls and emails. Plan to go in person to the office if you need to speak to someone. There are much better places to live for a lower price. Avoid Bent Tree!

This Place is straight up garbge they charge you $50 for a little package.

It was so incredibly loud. I could hear every footstep of my upstairs neighbors reverberate through the apartment. I could hear their dogs running back and forth. It literally makes you feel unsettled and on-edge in your own home. The staff are nice, though!

I am a resident here, and since Aug when I moved in the construction works didn't finish. Even weekend morning banging and knocking noise.

The Property manager Sonia in the leasing office is absolute unprofessional, she never answered any of my calls nor emails, even lived there for three years. They have the worst costumer services, rude all the time, they don't have any respect for residents. Please stay away from this nasty community, parking and cleanliness is the biggest issue of this community plus worst management.

Here's a rewritten and more polished version of your review, while maintaining your original concerns and adding clarity: --- **Disputing the Bad Review - My Experience at Bent Tree Apartments** I chose to rent at Bent Tree Apartments and signed a two-year lease because I've worked in Centerville for six years and love the area. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from positive. **1. Parking & Security Issues** In my first month alone, my car was towed *twice*--despite having a permit. Even worse, multiple new cars in the neighborhood, including mine, had all four tires stolen. The lack of security and towing policies felt predatory rather than protective. **2. Broken Promises & Hidden Fees** I rented the party room after being assured that kids' toys and small furniture would be removed before my event. On the day of, the items were still there, forcing me and my guests to clear them out ourselves. Despite this, I was charged an extra **$250** for "unauthorized removal." **3. Billing Problems & Lack of Compassion** - My bank account was hacked for **$5,000**, freezing my auto-pay. Despite notifying management immediately, they refused to waive the late fee--even though my payment was just **one day late**, costing me an extra **$150**. - The staff, including property manager **Andrea**, showed zero empathy. Even if policies couldn't be changed, basic kindness would have made a difference. Instead, their attitude made it clear they disliked their jobs--and it showed in how they treated residents. **Final Thoughts** I can't wait to leave. Bent Tree Apartments prioritizes strict enforcement over resident well-being. If you value fairness, security, or basic human decency from management, look elsewhere. This version keeps your original complaints but presents them more clearly and professionally, making it harder for the apartment management to dismiss. Let me know if you'd like any further refinements!

DO NOT MOVE HERE! When i moved in my apartment had a gnat infestation, was not cleaned, had pee in the toilet, vents painted closed, and floorboards not glued down. For all of this, they offered me $30 in concessions and didn't even send pest control for over a week. Months later I broke my lease once I was able to leave (i would have left earlier if i was able due to the condition) they charged me $5,000 to break my lease even though a new tenet was going to move in 2 weeks after me. So they faced no losses and are still making me pay the fee regardless of my experience at the property. I recommend to move literally anywhere else but save yourself the trouble and DO NOT LIVE HERE. Update: I reached out as suggested in the owners comment below and now haven't heard back in two weeks. I was really hoping to come to a resolution but even the management company has proven unwilling to help. They also changed the comment they originally left which was apologetic to a generic response.

Terrible services, rude staff, apartments full of Bedbugs!!! The worst apartment complex I have ever been! Never more

Like majority of what other residents have said prior, Bent Tree apartments is EXTREMELY money hungry, uncommunicative, and lack so much professionalism that we all are ready to LEAVE ASAP. My family and I have only been here for 3 months ... if you are late on rent once 11:58 hit they charge you 100 dollars (not including all the extra fees they charge you )then if your late not even a month on rent they try to evict you ... mind you the only thing they do is email you calling, emailing , texting them is straight pointless no matter what the situation is .. I could say so much more but the other reviews tell it all ! PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE (they are nice and very communicative until you move in it's a freaking trap ) forget the 1 star it's a 0 out of 5. Tell your family and friends to tell their family and friends NOT TO MOVE HERE ITS NOT WORTH THE BULL.

if I could have less than a star I will give it this horrible apartment complex. Since Lincoln property sold to the new owners this has become so horrible and unsafe place I will not recommend it to anyone. Now a lot of drunk people live in the complex and they don't respect the piece of the other tenants They stay after 1 in the morning drinking in the balconiess and playing music very laugh and some of us have to work early in the morning and we need to rest They also are leaving the dog without leash and one of the dog bite my brother I am glad it was not a child I can't imagine the damage that he could to a child. The new staff in the offices not doing anything about those incidents or to solve the problems. We send them an email because they have been doing some construction work in the complex and they scratch our new car that we get from the dealer not too long ago GUESS WHAT THEY HAVE NOT ANSWER TO THE EMAIL NOT EVEN TO BE RESPECTFUL. Another issue in the complex is that now if you came after 9 pm you will not find a parking space. You have to go and park far away in the street IMAGEN IF YOU ARE A WOMEN AND YOU GET OFF FROM WORK AT 11PM AND YOU HAVE TO WALK IN THE STREET BY YOURSELF SOMETHING DANGER CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. Also the personal in the leasing office are very slow and rude if you can to pick a package you have to way a lot of time and they always make a face to give you the package its like if you are living in the complex free and they are not getting pay from the rent that you are paying. I live here for more than 3 years when LINCOLN PROPERTY HAVE THE COMPLEX AND I DID NOT COMPLAINT. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. NOW I just want my lease to finish and move from this very unsafe apartment complex.

My family and I have lived here for over 1 year. We enjoy the pool and playground areas. However, I feel the bad points definitely outweigh the good points. Please see below:Pros:-The rent is a lot cheaper than comparable apartment complexes-The location is ideal for shopping, restaurants, and commutingCons:-Aimco staff is rather unresponsive and some of them are quite rude.-Maintenance staff are inexperienced and incapable. Last summer our apartment flooded multiple times despite constant requests to the maintenance team. The cause was the unwillingness to clean the gutters periodically. This caused us to live in a hotel for 3 nights and $500 of damage to our belongings.-New playground equipment is cheap and dangerous. The new playground equipment has only been installed for about 6 months and I have already observed multiple injuries.-I have observed multiple residents smoking on the apartment grounds despite this being against the lease. The apartment staff are not enforcing the rules.-On 4/21/2019 there was a multiple unit fire that killed one resident. This was fire spread quickly to at least three units before it was under control despite being located directly next to a fire station. It is clear that this apartment complex is a fire hazard.https://www.fox5dc.com/amp/news/local-news/deadly-fairfax-county-apartment-fire

The place is really nice I love it but one thing am not happy about is can bent tree associate tell the tenant living on fourth floor to stop making noise its has been going on for some time now

Overpriced as hell for its quality. Floors are uneven. Charging ports are cheap and loose and will pop out so bugs can just crawl in through the hole. 1600 for a one bedroom. Horrible sewage system. Do not rent here.

They are not taking responsible about residents living in their properties. Anything happens to your unit forget about talking to them. Call insurance and ready to hear the insurance is not covering any damages. Assistant manager, Bee? or Vee? girl with a curly hair, she is worst ever I dealt for customer service. I have no idea how she climbed up to be an assistant manager. Worst beyond worst to talk to. Oh~~ good luck finding a parking spot after 10pm even with paid parking permit.

The only Thing thats decent about this community is the maintenance team Antoine, Mario, Jim, and Collin are excellent but Andrea on the other hand is a absolute joke

Worst apartment I've ever lived at. They've gotta rid of visitor parking, tried to illegally make me move into an apartment hat was under construction. Rent is not worth it, there is no parking, management office is literally insane. Move anywhere else.

Just to know Sonia put my new rent on hold as I previously wrote a negative review. Even they overcharged me, I'm glad I'm out of Bent tree. Be aware of sounds, allergy, parking, and management.

YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY DEPOSIT BEFORE APPROVAL! IF REJECTED YOU WON'T GET YOUR MONEY BACK WITHOUT A FIGHT!

They put in new lockers for package drop off and they lost my package. Do not trust this company. Very unprofessional. Don't live here. Parking is still a nightmare.

I WOULD GIVE THIS 0 STARS...Here I am again with another issue this company needs to fix. I drove around 20-25 MINUTES looking for a parking spot in my own community THAT I PAY $15 dollars for EVERY MONTH. For a company that charges this much and doesn't have enough parking spaces to accommodate people getting home late is RIDICULOUS. I had to park in Little Rocky Run and walk 10 minutes just to get home.... Instead of building a stupid fcking dog park why don't you build more parking spaces? I saw at least 10 reserved parking spaces that were empty.... instead of up charging residents for premium parking spots why can't this cheap ass company provide more parking?! Im 100% positive Im not the only one with this issue. I can't wait move out and never step foot in this complex again!!!!

disgusting.... i though i would die when i found out there are bedbugs and other insect in the apartment. The best part is management doesn't even care. All they care about is ur money.

This apartment sucks. All the spots out front are reserved. You have to walk a mile to get to your apartment. It takes forever to bring in groceries. And they run their tow truck night and day - god forbid if you're in a hurry and accidentally park in a reserved spot, you have to uber 15 miles away to pick it up. Would not recommend living here. Also, they make you pay on the last day of every month, or make you pay a $160 late fee. Most apartment complexes give you until the 5th day. But when you serve a lower societal class, you shouldn't expect them to have their check in on the last day of the month. Heaven forbid. This has gotten out of control. Also:-place infested with bugs/rats-trash was everyday pickup, now 2x/ week, which as residents are required to pay and don't pick up as often. Which makes it smell-changed the payment date from 5th of the next month, to last day of current month without explicitly telling you when you renewed lease-changed management companies 2x in a year-disorganization if staff, when I resigned lease, it literally took me 10x to get changed.

During my time at Bent Tree the quality of life has gone down significantly. 1st - The parking situation currently is a disaster. All but a couple dozen spots are assigned parking. This parking might not be anywhere near your apartment and is a separate fee. The little visitor parking that exists is functionally non-existant since it's always full with residents cars. You will not be able to have anyone visit without risking their being towed. 2nd - The removal of several amenities to make room for additional parking. 3rd - A lack of enforcement of the non-smoking policies. These policies are not effectively enforced and people openly smoke on their balconies and parking lots. 4th - Their "newly renovated apartments" had many, many issues with the installation of doors, windows, and appliances incorrectly or sloppily. While maintenance did correct these issues they clearly went with a bottom of the barrel contractor for these renovations and did little to no follow up to make sure things were done properly. Do not rent here, it is not as advertised.

I had a terrible experience living at Bent Tree Apartments for a few years. When I moved out, they demanded extra fees for cleaning and painting the walls and refused to return my deposit. Despite professionally cleaning the entire apartment, they still asked for receipts and additional documentation. It's the worst place to live. I can't understand why there are positive reviews for this place; they might be from paid reviewers or friends of the management, not actual tenants. This place doesn't even deserve one star. Do not move here! The management is terrible and treats tenants like just another source of revenue. The entire complex is a money grab. Parking is a nightmare--you can't park in front of your building and are forced to park two blocks away, often with additional fees for these inconvenient spots. Moving here is definitely not worth the hassle.

No charging stations are installed here.

A great place to live if you have no friends, no car, don't get any mail and don't mind when everything breaks. If you have no friends, you won't have to be concerned that there is very limited guest parking. If you're thinking it's cool because your friends exclusively travel by Uber/Lyft make sure they also aren't smokers, because the community is going "smoke free" including parking lots, your balcony, etc. The wait time to go grab whatever you had prime shipped to you is at least 45 minutes. If you go to the store to buy stuff like some commoner and God forbid, have an actual question you want answered - just forget it. You'll get a more efficient answer from a Magic 8 Ball. You could try calling or emailing, but I have yet to get responses that way. I'm going to try a carrier pigeon next. I will say the maintenance staff has a couple cool dudes working for them. Of course, I see them the most has something is always broken.

This apartment Complex has gone downhill fast. I would advise anyone thinking about moving into this complex to please think long and hard before doing so. I've had nothing but bad experiences with the current management and maintenance team. On May 21, 2018 5:54 PM, I submitted an online service request for my dryer that stopped working. After 4 days, still no one from maintenance had shown up. So,I submitted another request on May 24, 2018 at 5:06 AM. That morning I went to the rental office and personally complained about how long it has taken to get maintenance to my apartment to fix the dryer. The girl in the front office stated she'll let maintenance know to "stop by." A few hours later, someone finally showed up. The Maintenance technician that showed up informed me that if he was not able to fix the dryer he would pull a working dryer from another apartment. I left that day for vacation and received an email stating the dryer was fixed. I returned home on June 1, 2018 8:00 PM from vacation. A letter was left in my apartment saying the problem was fixed and it had something to do with the timer knob. I went to use the dryer, that was supposedly fixed, and it was still broken. You would think they would test it out before telling you they fixed it, but that was clearly not the case. I made another call and was told that the maintenance supervisor would be at my apartment Saturday morning to fix the issue. Saturday morning came and went. I stopped in the rental office, once again, to address the issue of not having a working dryer for weeks and they informed me that there was nothing they could do until possibly Monday. I informed the rental office that their answer was unsatisfactory because I needed a working dryer to wash and dry military uniforms for work on Monday. How can management can allow a tenant to be without a dryer for several weeks? They had the audacity to tell me to take my clothing to a laundromat and to bring them my receipt to "pay me back" or to wash my clothes in my apartment and that they would let me in to a vacant apartment to dry my items. In all of my frustration I ended up looking up YouTube videos and fixed my own dryer. I'm sure someone from the apartment will read this post and find a way to charge me money for having to do their jobs...

(Sorry this is lengthy) I am a fairly new resident I moved in march 1 of last year(2022). My lease ends June 5 and fortunately, I will not be renting with this community after my lease ends. First bad experience I had, before I moved in. I obviously had a normal tour where I was asked if I had a dog or plan on getting a dog I said no because that was my honest answer but living on the East Coast by myself, I needed a companion, so I did end up getting a dog, a German Shepherd. when I went in to register him, that is when I noticed that they had restricted dog breeds (as when I did the tour she did NOT tell me that they had restricted breeds and to keep that in mind if I ever did want to get one) and I had already registered him as an emotional support animal which he is and let me tell you this process took close to two months to get approval, a very unnecessary amount of time. after I was working with the then manager, who has now been promoted, she told me that the female who took me on a tour told me they were restricted breads after I continuously told her that no one informed me of that, but they made me feel like I was wrong and they're always right. Thankfully after having to go has doctors appointments five times to fill out forms and get doctors notes. I was approved to have my dog with me. my second negative interaction was, yes the electronic door lock. I had gotten a notification on the app that the battery was running out and they did an auto service ticket. I had exchanged emails and text. We agreed on a Tuesday while I was going to be here for them to come and drop off batteries and that Tuesday came and they never stopped by then a few days later I was coming home after work, and my lock was making an ongoing humming noise. Come to find out the battery had died and I was unable to get in my apartment through the front door. I made another ticket in and this time they did come to drop off the batteries, while I was not home and when I did come home, I came to find that the front door was literally cracked open and the batteries look like they just opened the door, threw the batteries in the front walkway, and walked away. They were scattered in my front walkway. It's just overall very disappointing community. You pay fees for trash, but you have to walk your own trash to the dumpster so what is the fee for? Overall, I would not recommend this community at all. If you need a community in the area, lakeside apartments (yes different company too) are literally amazing. No trash fees, they give you trash bins on move in date, open parking with no fees, if you have a service dog or esa, mine got approved in three hours and all they needed was for me to fill out a form and the form I had used here at Bent tree and my pup got approved for my move in date. Would totally recommend lakeside apartments over Bent tree unfortunately.

The parking is horrible! They first charge for it, then you have only a specific spot to park in, you can't even choose. It's always far away from where I live and on top of that the maintenance teams keep parking their trucks in multiple spots and I can't even go inside until I find one and get them to move.

Actually Bent Tree Apartment looks great when you see it from outside. but the service is too bad. and the maintenance team they do not care. and I have very bad experience started from the first day I moved in. the apartment was very dirty and need a lot of maintenance. reported and they fix some of what we told them after many weeks. and I had to call them and run to the office many times. and I had to take pictures to show them and to have them sign and date on the pictures. and all that just to try to push them to do their work. Complained about the electricity bill which comes over $240 every month while the normal average up to $120 they told us to contact Dominion VA power first. but there was nothing wrong with Dominion. then I had to report it again with their office and now I have been waiting over two weeks for their response and to send their maintenance team. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. The windows are too old and has too many problems. if you ask them to replace just a light bulb in your apartment, it takes days to be replaced. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. and they have very poor customer service

1.they startiing less very quickly and have a lot of promise but 90% of this promises will not be true. 2.they have alot of fees on the monthly rent and even don't have explanation for that. 3. parking spots is the biggest problem i have ever seen. when start the less they told us you can have up to 4 spots for 4 car but after a month they gave us just two. and now we park two of out car outside of the bentree apartment.

Been here for several years, but leaving and not re-signing new lease. I have to agree with negative posts regarding parking, customer service, and endless fees added to your rent. My building has the worst mice infestation I've *ever* seen. I've reported the issue 4 times over the last 6 weeks, but the problem is no better and management seems disinterested in solving the problem before I move out. The last email reporting the severity of the problem was a detailed email to the leasing office clarifying the magnitude of the ongoing problem...and *NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGED THE EMAIL OR RESPONDED*. 3rd world living conditions, 1st world rent.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! When i moved in my apartment had a gnat infestation, was not cleaned, had pee in the toilet, vents painted closed, and floorboards not glued down. For all of this, they offered me $30 in concessions and didn't even send pest control for over a week. Months later I broke my lease once I was able to leave (i would have left earlier if i was able due to the condition) they charged me $5,000 to break my lease even though a new tenet was going to move in 2 weeks after me. So they faced no losses and are still making me pay the fee regardless of my experience at the property. I recommend to move literally anywhere else but save yourself the trouble and DO NOT LIVE HERE. Update: I reached out as suggested in the owners comment below and now haven't heard back in two weeks. I was really hoping to come to a resolution but even the management company has proven unwilling to help. They also changed the comment they originally left which was apologetic to a generic response.

Updating this review to give a bit more transparent information:-there have been a couple nights where there have been 0 parking spaces in the entire apartment complex. I had to park in a fire lane, and emailed to say I was parking in a fire lane and never heard back. Reminder that you pay $15/car per month just for basic parking.-constant construction is going on. We have had people doing some construction on our deck without any type of notice. Just this morning I heard some noises outside and found someone on the deck with a ladder. Again - didn't receive any type of notice or time frame for this to be completed, and my screen door curtains were not closed.-our door will not completely shut to them point of it jamming nearly everytime we try to close it. If you're moving in, I recommend buying something to seal the door and also have something for under the door to stop air from coming in. We can see right through our door currently. We also still have water damage on our ceiling that we were told would be fixed back in July.- I have really tried to be patient and understanding, but I regret moving here every day. No one has reached out to me since our move in to discuss these concerns. I very strongly advise you to look elsewhere. The cost seems cheap, but our rent has gone up a lot more than we were initially told, and the itemized statements are extremely hard to understand/disorganized. I really hope something changes very soon. Again - I'm not one to take the time to write bad reviews, but this living situation is pretty bad to say the least. I have been a resident at Bent Tree Apartments for a little over 2 months. Pros: -convenient location to 28, 66, etc. -maintenance team rocks, and is very friendly and efficient-dog park for dog lovers and owners-pretty neighborhood with lots of trees and paths for walki Cons:-hidden fees everywhere. Our base rent for a 2Br/2B is under $1,552, but with water, trash, sewage, parking, etc it equates to ~$1,670. This doesn't even include the $300 admin fee we paid for a gym that isn't open, the $50 locker fee for packages that are still delivered right in front of my apartment, $50 charge of each pet per month, $3 for pest control when there is a big bug problem, and my separate bills for internet and electric. On top of that late fees are charged the day after you miss rent and they charge $100. There is NO grace period whatsoever (in the lease agreement)-floors are so uneven we can't even put things on our shelf without things rolling off. Water damage on ceiling hasn't been fixed, and we have reached out multiple times. -super loud environment. We are located right next to a major road which factors into noise, but additionally the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors very easily - even them turning on the shower -little to no visitor parking, especially after 7pm. They provide about 15 spots total for visitor parking for the entire community, so if you plan on having guests over, they likely won't be able to park there unless they get there very early in the day. -has no communication about lease or move in info until the day before I moved in. Received the finalized lease document less than 48 hours before move in. I hate writing bad reviews, especially because my boyfriend and I were so excited to live here. We will not be renewing our lease and we urge anyone to read this and think carefully before renting. Hopefully things change for future renters because it really could be a nice place to live.

They are not taking responsible about residents living in their properties. Anything happens to your unit forget about talking to them. Call insurance and ready to hear the insurance is not covering any damages. Assistant manager, Bee? or Vee? girl with a curly hair, she is worst ever I dealt for customer service. I have no idea how she climbed up to be an assistant manager. Worst beyond worst to talk to. Oh~~ good luck finding a parking spot after 10pm even with paid parking permit.

The first day I moved in, the apartment had not been properly prepared. After being unable to move my belongings in on the first day, the maintenance crew (which is the worst maintenance crew I've ever dealt with) didn't properly replace essential objects in the apartment, and left the floors absolutely disgusting. Then after coming home with groceries, I found out the apartment is infested with bugs, and that pest control had never been to the apartment. After talking to management they said a pest control worker was sent, but I came home to roaches on the invoice itself, and still a massive amount of bugs. To ice the cake, less than a week into moving in, the apartment flooded and I wasn't able to get "24 hour emergency maintenance" to my place for an hour. Then the worker was unable to speak enough English to instruct me on where to go for the night, and the receptionist also had no idea what to do. This complex is a nightmare.

Update 07/21/23: I moved out, they are attempting to charge me for things that make no sense on a deposit (random sewage, water, and fees), and Afrah decided to block me when I raised concerns. I do not recommend renting here. They will charge you rent for an apartment you can't stay in, claim it's habitable when it isn't, and will try to bully you into giving them good reviews. Original: Been a resident here for a year now, there's almost no visitor parking, and they refuse to provide permits for visitors. They know about the issue and refuse to do anything about it. They will tow when their visitor spots are full. Update: apartment flooded too, they refuse to move us into a new apartment and they have an insane reletting fee of 3 months of rent. You heard that right. Avoid this apartment complex at all costs.

Cheap for a reason. 1. They'll provide you an ant infested apartment that their maintenance team can't get rid of. 2. There is no adequate parking. Good luck finding a spot after 5PM. Most of the time I had to park really far away and walk back to the apartment in the dark. If you want a designated parking spot, it's an additional $50 AND there's not guarantee it will be close to your apartment "due to lack of availability" 3. Overcharged our rent by an ADDITIONAL $2000 because they did not look at the contract we signed. Proceeded to quote "market value" until we asked them to check their emails with us where they guaranteed us a certain price for our apartment. So if you ever end up picking this place, KEEP ALL PROOF OF COMMUNICATION. NOW FOR THE BIGGEST AND MOST INFURIATING EXPERIENCE 5. When we moved out, they billed us $2000 for "damages" and cleaning. We literally had the apartment cleaned. We left the apartment in great condition, no mess on the walls or floors, all appliances in working condition, etc. They never performed a final walkthrough with us because their office was closed and they wouldn't let us turn in the keys when they were actually open. So for "proof" of damages all they sent was the bill, a "final walkthrough form" that they signed with no signature from us, and FAKE PICTURES of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT apartment. Not even the same flooring or same wall paint. Literallty a different apartment. Through MANY phone calls and repeatedly asking for solid proof, they finally dismissed the fees. BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT of your apartment take as many pictures and videos as you can of your apartment and its condition or else you will be out $2K.

I lived in the first floor and it was a struggle every night to get sleep. The floor above us is EXTREMELY CREAKY and the upstairs neighbor moves ALL NIGHT LONG. We hear everything. Not to mention, the people outside are loud at night. I'm honestly shocked to see reviews above two stars. Do not live here...

Absolutely Not Worth It - Save Yourself the Headache When I first moved in, everything seemed great--updated apartment, decent amenities--but that didn't last long. After a few months, things started breaking: the toilet wouldn't flush properly, the garbage disposal stopped working, and the overall quality of the unit just went downhill. Maintenance did respond within a day or two, but that didn't make up for how quickly things fell apart. Then there are the ridiculous fees. To receive packages, you're forced to pay $60 a month for an app just to access the storage room. Parking was another nightmare--first, there were no spaces available, so I had to pay $60 a month for several months. Then, when spots opened up, the price dropped to $20, but the space was further away, which made no sense. After living there for nearly six months, management suddenly wanted back pay for a "Resident Liability Waiver" because they "forgot" to add it to my account. Their mistake, yet somehow my problem. Moving out was even worse. They tacked on a laundry list of absurd charges--a cleaning fee (even though I left the place spotless), a painting fee (which should be standard between tenants), and a bunch of other nonsense just to squeeze more money out of me. Don't expect to see your deposit again, no matter how well you take care of the place. Oh, and roaches. I went nine months without seeing a single one, then suddenly, after a new tenant moved in below me, they appeared. Management's solution? Spray twice and call it a day. Spoiler alert: It didn't fix the problem. The only positives? The park is nice, and the dog park is decent. But that's not enough to justify the price, especially in this area. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Update: 6/13/18: I finally got out of this pit, but it could not have been more difficult. They apparently refused to accept the numerous notices of vacation I gave them. The one they did finally decide to recognize an email a month before vacation, and proceeded to demand two month's worth of rent regardless. I only came to this place in an effort to save money but because of this it ended up costing me more regardless. Update: 4/24/18: things are getting worse, not better. The transition in ownership to Lincoln properties has opened the doors to the worst possible abuse. The massive parking problem could be partially resolved if the complex opened up the 50 desperately needed private parking spots around the complex, but instead they completely removed guest passes (friends and family are now officially not allowed in the area) and converted even more of the few spots we have (mostly the ones that are close by) to "premium parking" that they are charging $40/month to own. This place is a trap. Every aspect of it is predatory and abusive. You know the trolls in fairy tales that charge people to cross bridges? Those people are real and they've gotten into the apartment game. This place is designed from the bottom up to take advantage of you. They will lie to your face, tow your car, cause more problems in efforts to fix old ones. They go out of their way to hide basic features from you and i lived there for 10 months before i knew there was a web service they were hiding from me. The place is smelly and cramped and offers virtually no way to have friends or family over due to the complete lack of parking. You'll be lucky if you can park there yourself. It's not even cheaper than comparable complexes.

I'm gonna be honest here- this is my first apartment living situation. I lived in townhouses up to this point, but when I saw Bent Tree had a loft floor plan, I fell in love with it. I moved in under previous management, and while they weren't worthy of a 10/10, they were friendly but did not answer e-mails and weren't the quickest when it came to maintenance issues. We had maintenance issues that started with the previous company and leaked over into the new management's ownership (not having hot water, windows that would not close in the middle of winter resulting in a $400 electric bill for a 1,000 sq foot apartment, a head size hole in the bathroom door from before we moved in and a few small things that weren't too big of an issue). We tried for about 2-3 months to get a new hot water heater that wasn't fixed until we threatened to put our rent in escrow (Aimco). When it was finally in the process of being replaced, we got the run around and were told that it was already replaced that morning, that they went to the wrong apartment, and that they were picking up tools, in that order via different phone calls. We placed a chair against our hot water heater to insure that it would be replaced, but when we came home to see it was still there, we knew it hadn't been touched. The old company fixed our windows after two months, but we later found out that those windows were meant for our neighbor, not us. Our front door did not latch, but they were quick to fix that (old company). During an open house with Aimco, I was not impressed with the attitude of the staff and the bad-mouthing of current residents. While people were trying to ask questions about trying to pay rent online and what fees would change, I wasn't happy to see the attitude that was given. To their credit, a few weeks ago, we had a garbage disposal issue that they fixed the next day. Aside from leasing office woes, I actually love the floor plan of this apartment. It's a little outdated but I don't mind. We live on the top floor and still experience a lot of loud noises from one neighbor to our right and our neighbors downstairs. That comes with apartment living, so I can't fault management for that. However, when we complained about the excessive partying and our walls shaking all weekend, they sent a letter to the entire building, rather than the problem apartment (old company). We haven't personally experienced the parking problems that other tenants have, but they did just add a 'premier parking' which is two spots at the front of the building and you can pay $45/month to park there. Or, you can walk 5 more feet and park in another spot for free. That wasn't a viable solution to the complex's problems. The dog park is a nice feature, I haven't used the pool so I can't attest to that. The location is great. I like being close to a CVS, Giant, multiple banks, restaurants, and I-66. Our building runs along Lee Hwy so we do have a lot of traffic noise, but you learn to deal with that. I believe some other buildings/sections of the complex have had issues with small crimes but we've never experienced that. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get in contact with the leasing office unless you go in person. They do not answer the phone, return messages or answer e-mails. There are a lot of fees associated with living here, they include: -A fee to pay your rent online (you don't have a choice but to do this, or pay by check with a $10 fee) + a fee for which card you use (based on the % of your rent) -$30/month for trash (Ours is often left for days) -$50/month for pets, ON TOP of an $800 deposit (400 refundable, 400 not) -$50/year + a credit card on file to pick up your packages?? -$15/month PER CAR to park or $45/month for "reserved" parking Plus a lot of outrageous things like the e-mail that told us that our balconies are to be used for "sitting purposes only" + this is a "no smoking" community. Anywhere. Not even in your car. Unsure what the fine for that is.

I do not recommend this place, it is very dirty, there are many animals.

Management is argumentative, and lies so you can lease with them. People in the office is rude for the most part. Gym really old, same for several years it hasn't been updated in years. The buildings needs maintenance, paint as well as the stairs, although they recently "replaced them" it hasn't been painted. Bugs every where, trash, spiderwebs in every corner, they clean probably once a year and you have to call them requesting to PLEASE clean the breezeway. Dogpark is better and bigger than children's playground. No parking space even though you have to pay per vehicle monthly, if you are lucky enough to find a spot you will be walking at least two blocks from your building. Management loves dogs so complaining about a loud and noisy dog or pee in he stairs or poop in the side walks is NOT an option. Hide fees so if you decide to move make sure you READ carefully your lease and make sure everything is in writing otherwise you can lose. A lot of maintenance needs to be done in every single unit but new management is prioritizing dogparks, asphalt, sidewalks, lease office and honestly not sure what else because you don't see them and whatever it is you definitely won't take advantage of it. Try to find another place if you can. You will be better and happier if you are not living in Bent Tree specially with new management, new fees and new stuff. But the way pictures online are definitely NOT how Bent Tree really looks. Make sure they show you the apartment and building where you are planning to move before you sign the lease. I was unable to upload the pictures to show but unfortunately it was an option.

I'm definitely agreed with others because this complex is very limited of maintaining services. poor help from office stuff also new management came witha lot of changes of ripping off more money from actual residents and new residents .. i wont recommend this place for living..

I live here for 7 years and the past year has been the worse. I feel that my time there doesn't count as a loyal resident. Parking spot for my sons car is 95 dollars a month!!!! That is absolutely ridiculous and when my husband told the manager that we will have to end up moving at the end of the lease she just said ok you do what it's good for your family. We will move soon! Not staying in a place that don't appreciate residents.

Before the change of leasing office was awesome. Now we are charged for a lot of things that we were not before and was not in our leasing, parking situation for guest is ridiculous. You basically are not able to have guest anymore. The trash system stopped being a valet service but we are being charged for it 3 months without having the service. And the worst is that if you happen to go complain to the office they are rude, unresponsive, disrespectful, specially the girl that lives in the community, and if you don't give up on your complain they threat you and send you a letter saying that you can not go to the leasing office anymore or they would call police. Absolutely not recommended.

Some staff are friendly, maintenance staff don't seem to care, good location. The apartment buildings are a very old, and something breaks on a weekly basis.

I would rather sleep in the street with the homeless than leave in this property.... The worst management ever... you can hear your neighbors what they are doing through the walls... that's how bad these apartments are

I had a disappointing experience with Bentree apartment manager, Afrah Oram. It's frustrating to feel misled and taken advantage of, especially when dealing with something as important as lease negotiations and rental increases. The lack of transparency and accountability from the apartment manager has left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a tenant. It's completely unacceptable that you kept me waiting for three weeks, fully knowing you could not negotiate the significant rent increase. This kind of delay and miscommunication shows a lack of respect for my time and concerns as a tenant. Furthermore, the fact that an exorbitant fee of $1000 was charged to me despite my intentions being clearly communicated to the leasing office adds insult to injury. It's unfair for the management to penalize me for their own inability to effectively manage the situation. My intentions were clearly communicated to the leasing office, yet I were still charged an unjustified fee. It's disappointing that the property management appears to be more focused on maximizing profits than ensuring the satisfaction and well-being of their tenants. Andreas at the office can to attest to my intentions, this speaks volumes about the lack of consistency and professionalism at the property. If even the internal communication among staff members is lacking, it's no wonder that tenants are feeling mistreated and undervalued. The negative impact that this experience has had on me the is evident of this review, and it's truly regrettable that I choosed to lived at this property. As a tenant, you you should feel supported, respected, and appreciated by the property management, but it seems that Bentree apartment management has fallen short in providing these basic standards of care and consideration. Let it be an advise to others to stay away from this property, as it seems that the management prioritizes financial gain over the well-being and satisfaction of their tenants. It's disheartening to see a property that neglects the needs and concerns of the individuals who call it home.

The worse community ever,

This is absolutely the worst apartment complex I have ever dealt with my entire life. My son was staying there and had to leave Virginia and move back to Florida because he lost his job due to Covid. They want to charge him $7200 to break his lease. $3600 for the loss of the rent and another $3100 because he did not give them a 90 day written notice. How could he do that if he lost his job and couldn't afford to live there?!?! We are willing to pay the $3600 but I refuse to pay the $3100. But what drives me crazy is when he was living there. The apartment manager (who is horrible and impossible to get ahold of) and complex did not help him out even a little bit on his rent when the upstair unit had a water leak that leaked thru his ceiling causing his cloths to get all wet. All they did was went into his unit and taped plastic bags on his ceilings that stayed up there for a couple weeks!!!! But I guess that not the apartment complex's fault?!?! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND not renting unit here!!!!!!!!

The layouts are good but you can easily hear the people above or below you. Also don't bother cleaning on your way out because they'll hit you with a bill anyway. I Mr. Cleaned the hell out of my apartment and they still hit me with a $200 cleaning fee
