Bay Pointe Apartments

Worst apartments ever! Don’t live here!!!
People party all night long without any care for others. Random LOUD fire alarms (sounds like you are in a war zone) that get set of by stupid idiots that think it’s funny to wake everybody up. Office staff doesn’t care about any problems! Dogs barking all night long and the office staff won’t do anything about it any only contacted the renter several days later which also meant being woken up at 3:00am for those nights by a barking dog. They are just COMPLETELY WORTHLESS so better take care of any problems yourself. The office manager is so mean and thinks of herself as something better and a girl named Nicky that works in the office is just plain stupid. My apartment flooded and the carpet cleaners they sent were LAZY and RUDE. The grounds are infested with fleas (my poor dog despite being on flea medication) and I have seen cockroaches several times. I also had an infestation of ants in my apartments at least 2 different times.
This apartment complex is only for young people that want to party all night long. Big party buses pick up everybody on the weekends right outside the leasing office. They also rent out apartments weekly to foreigners so obviously the entire place is party central and dirty.
I have found panty liners, beer cans, Mexican food spread through the hallways and drunk people laying in the grass.
Don’t live here if you care about having a nice and peaceful house that you can relax and enjoy when you come home

Please please lets band together and put this place out of business.

Not a apartment for working professional. This apartment is always a mess with maintenance and noise. Fire alarm goes on and off continuously. Parking is so crocked and its not assigned which again kills the patience to find parking spot late night.

DO NOT LIVE HERE!
I am currently in the process of moving out and the whole time I lived here was a nightmare. The ladies who work in the office are all so dim and no help at all. It is impossible to get there help with anything. The main manager, Jacque, is one of the most condescending people ever.
Our apartment flooded twice in a 3 week span and each time was the property’s fault (once was because it rained… a light drizzle and our living room was soaked). They offered us reimbursement of a few days rent and we never received it. They are now trying to tell us we are responsible for extra days of rent past our 30 day notice time period and the manager is (surprise, surprise) taking days to answer my call and email.
We had so many problems from floods to our account being overcharged rent from paying online and each time they made it out be our fault.
WAY OVERPRICED. We paid $ 1425 for a 1br/​1ba and it continuously had bugs from the first day we moved in even though we kept the place clean.
So if you’re interested in wasting money and being talked down to… this is the place for you!

Dont waste your money AND time. Dont move here! Terrible staff and management!!! Living with the enemy.

This complex is terrible. DO NOT MOVE HERE. I lived here for exactly one year and I wish I could have left after the first month.
I lived here by myself and felt extremely unsafe. The other residents living there look
like they came out of a homeless shelter/​rehab/​jail. There were multiple times that I was extremely uncomfortable and felt unsafe. I am an attractive girl and constantly felt as if I were a piece of meat while at the pool or walking to the gym. I had a guy follow me from the parking lot to my door and he kept knocking on the door. I called the police on him.
I called Bay Pointe’s «wonderful» office many times to complain about these issues and never received any response. They will tell you that they «will call back in 24 – 48 hours.» I felt UNSAFE and if you tell me you’ll call back in 24 – 48 hours, I think that is an issue. They will not call back. You have to harass them. There were many times where I reported a maintenance request and wouldn’t hear back for weeks.
Another criminal act performed by this «wonderful» complex is they require you put a sticker on your car to park in the lot. Upon moving out you have to return this or you will be charged $ 100. This sticker is impossible to come off. It took 40 mins to scrap this thing off. It left a huge mark on my car.
Again do not live here. The staff is so rude and it is unsafe!

Okay, i currently live here and im moving out in 2 weeks.
Summary:
1. Very rude and totally useless management. The girls are unbelievably ill mannered especially the new one (i think erica). They wont do shit, i once had my car blocked by their own maintenance truck and when i called them they said call the police we cant do anything. Terrible people and truly not professional.
2. The apartment is too old, cracks filled with insects, beer caps under drawers and in cabinets. Dirty carpet and ill paint. Stove is old as shit.
3. Noisy kids all day long and very ignorant and stinky.
4. Ridiculous price for a crappy apartment.
5. Gym sucks ass
6. Pool is dirty as shit
7. You dont get your assigned parking.
8. Again the management is very rude.

I lived at Bay Pointe for a year from 2009 – 2010 and I feel that the price is decent for the location. The 2 spas are huge and the 2 bedroom floorplan is ideal for roommates. That’s about all the positives I can share about this place. The parking situation is not ideal for guests, the walls are extremely thin, the appliances are outdated… not to mention I had numerous maintenance issues during the year that I lived there. The response for the maintenance issues was resolved quickly but we had lots of water leakage problems which was a hassle. My apartment was extremely dark and depressing and the windows were old. I barely got any of my deposit back even though there was no damage done… needless to say the location was the best part about this apartment community.

When I first got here, I was unpleasantly surprised by the job the cleaning ladies did. The living room smelled like smoke, the carpet was one of the nastiest I had ever seen (but hey, they cleaned it after 6 weeks!), there was a small stain on the side of one of the beds that looked like puke! and the shower curtain was full of stains (which could have easily been washed out in the washing machine).There is only one elevator for like 4 buildings, so I have to take my bike 2 stairs up and 2 stairs down every day. The oven is old, just like the stove. The so-​called gym doesn’t have any weights and only a couple of relatively old machines.
Luckily, I don’t have any sketchy neighbours, the pool/​jacuzzi area is good, the location is great, I haven’t seen any insects and the management is nice so far. Furthermore there’s a security guard that makes sure there’s no noise after 10PM which I personally like.
I’ve been here for 3 months so far, and I’m defintely staying until my internship is over (5 more months), but would I recommend it? I guess if you don’t mind living in some kind of a fraternity house, you like meeting new people and want to live in one of the best locations of PB you should totally move in. But if you’re somewhat clean and like modern stuff, you better stay away. But then again, what is affordable, clean and modern in PB? Overall review: Mweh.

*******Stay away from this place at all costs******They have cock roaches they have a severe noise problem with loud parties on the weekdays and weekends. I have only been here a couple months and I have been woken up so many times and the management does not do a thing about it. This place is more like a International Frat House with international students who have no respect for working professionals. I already had to hire a lawyer to try and get out of this contract.
BayPointe is Horrible STAY AWAY!!!

I lived at Bay Pointe for 15 months and I have mixed feelings about the place. I had a studio and this was a second home for me.
LIKES: parking, plenty of 24-​hour laundry facilities, 5 min. walk to Sail Bay, 15 min. walk to Ocean (ie, good location), good value. Lots of amenities.
DISLIKES: Poor maintenance response, sometimes noisy (lots of students), pool/​spa/​gym don’t open until 8am, sketchy security, trashy looking hallways and stairs. Lame management.
The LIKES speak for themselves. The DISLIKES deserve a bit more detail.
My experience with maintenance hasn’t been very good. They tend to blame anything on the tenant and don’t do a good job of showing up when they say they will, nor fixing the problem.
The noise problem comes and goes. Lately, it has been quiet, as it was most of the summer. Security does respond and seems able to quiet things down, but at 2am after several calls to security, you’re awake anyway.
I really dislike the fact that the amenities don’t open until 8am. That makes them not available to anyone such as myself that goes to work about 9am (with a 30 minute commute). Security has thrown me out of the spa several times earlier — but won’t tow the cars in the parking lot without stickers. Go figure.
The hallways and stairs look really terrible and almost caused me to not rent the apartment. I got over it, but bringing a guest home you feel ghetto. The rest of the grounds and facilities are well kept up.
Overall, I would say I got a good value for my rent money and even referred a co-​worker to the place. The referral fee took 2 ½ months to collect, requiring weekly emails to nag them. I doubt I’d refer anyone else.
Updated after moving out (December, 2013)
Well, if you value your security deposit, Bay Pointe is NOT the place to rent. I’ve been renting for 40+ years and NEVER had a dollar taken from a security deposit. These folks took 50% of it for the following: a) carpet cleaning, b) repainting the walls, c) «light cleaning».
I really would not have had an issue with a and c if the lease had clearly spelled that out, which it didn’t. I had just had the carpets cleaned using BP’s recommended vendor, so that was a shock. And after spending 6 ½ hours busting my butt to clean the apartment, I was dismayed that they felt it needed cleaning. Certainly, it was far cleaner than it was when I moved in.
As far as repainting the walls goes, they stated the walls were scuffed. I took 100 pictures of the interior and reviewed them all and could not find a scuff mark. It also stated that I had patched the walls, which is not accurate. I put a tiny amount of white caulk in the holes where my picture hangers were. This is something I’ve always done as a courtesy to the next tenant.
I’ve talked to 3 neighbors who moved out recently and they all lost similar amounts. Then, to cap it all off, when I got the refund check — it was unsigned. Totally useless piece of paper.
Conclusion: BP is probably a good place for students, whose parents are going to write off any possibility of getting a security deposit back. For anyone else, seeking peace and quite and a stress-​free move-​out, look elsewhere.

NEVER LIVE HERE. They WILL rip you off when you move out.

DO NOT RENT! This place is a waste of your money. The management is rude and near impossible to work with. Getting something fixed in a timely manner takes a miracle. The quality of most everything is poor to even-​poorer. Then when you finally get to the end of your lease, and you are counting down the hours to leave, they go through you move out inspection and try to milk you for everything. Dust on window sill and light fixtures can cost upwards of $ 200 to clean here in San Diego apparently. Make sure to mark EVERYTHING on your move in sheet; I mean if there is a speckle of dirt on the ceiling it could come back to haunt you in the form of a $ 200 deduction from your deposit. This is by far the worst place I have lived in my entire life. RUN AWAY AND DO NOT RENT!

Great location close to the bay and beach with a lot of great amenities but rather small and dated units that are fairly pricey.

I lived here for about 18 months. I guess you get what you get living in PB but for the money there are better options. The staff is not very friendly and the place can get pretty ghetto. There is a SERIOUS cockroach problem. I had to spray all of my doorways every week to keep them out and they still got in from time to time. The courtyards have them EVERYWHERE at night. It really is disgusting and embarrassing when you have guests over.
I know they have been doing a lot to update the property and grounds and it looks a million times nicer then it did a few years ago but I still don’t recommend it.
The parking situation is terrible there too. I was allowed 2 spots and only used one. I was none– the-​less towed on 2 occasions. Once for parking in the leasing office spaces (which you are allowed to do after hours) but I forgot to move my car early in the morning. I understand it on principal but they have your vehicle info on file. Wouldn’t it be just as easy to call me and let me know I need to move my car as it would be to call the tow company and have it removed at a $ 300 price tag to me. Another time I was towed because they were resurfacing a lot and needed my car moved and didn’t bother to call and ask me to do it. Granted they only moved it to another lot on the premises but the tow company still billed me $ 100 which I refused to pay.
I believe they are now using a parking management company which boots cars and charges them to have it removed. I know there are serious parking problems in PB but targeting your tenant’s doesn’t seem like a smart strategy! Anyway I am glad to be out of here and out of PB for that matter… I miss the beach but that’s about it and I can always drive there.

I lived here from February to November of 2004. While the people running the place were friendly enough, they screwed me over on move-​in day. I had agreed to lease a 3^rd floor, south facing studio, and when I went to pick up the key was told that had been rented — wtf — but that I could have a first-​floor, north facing one instead, which ended up being the darkest place I had ever lived.
Other problems came about. The area is central college kid land and so there were many, many pool parties at all hours. It was one thing on Friday and Saturday nights, quite another on a Tuesday morning at 4 am. Not to mention how much of a pain it was to get up and find the pool filled with furniture when I tried to do morning laps, because as the other reviewer noted, the gym was laughable.
Additionally, my car was stolen from the lots once and broken into another time, to which Bay Pointe was largely indifferent. They did have someone tow my replacement rental car for not having a permit though. My studio was pretty expensive — high 800s — and I generally disliked this place.

I lived here for a year and though it was a little ghetto, I didnt mind it. Im convinced that they dont do credit checks there even though they take money for it cause some of the people are really crazy. My neighbor was a self proclaimed «professional thief». I had another neighbor that was wearing speedos the first day I moved in with the door open smoking out of a bong.
Its a good location and the place has a nice pool. They dont clean very well before you move in. My roomate and I had to re-​clean which was pretty gross.
The reason I moved out though was because I used to work late nights and the parking there is first come first serve in the parking lots. Even though you have to have a sticker to park in the lots, there is still not enough parking for everyone. It sucks cause you could end up parking blocks and blocks away cause parking is so horrible in the area. Overall, not a bad place to live if you dont drive a car. ..

Dude, these apartments can get pretty sketchy, but damn, I have had some good times here. I had a friend who lived here, and the state of the housing grossed me out at times, but I think Baypointe is at least trying to improve to improve its image (they painted the outside at the end of last summer).
But Baypointe is a unique housing complex because it is vast and it is in PB, thus a lot of parties are had there between the neighbors. And the apartments are pretty big so a lot of international folk room together because living in PB ain’t cheap … It ain’t glamorous either, but it sure can be fun.
The pool is a place where the residents can be found commiserating or taking in the SoCal sun. It is a nice residence for friendly and social people who don’t mind living in broken down apartments.
Hey, not all of us can afford to live in the Costa Verde Towers, but at places like Baypointe, you at least have the opportunity to meet interesting people who like having fun.
