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

Let me just start with saying we moved in here in May and was super excited… What’s not to love? We got a spacious one bedroom, a few blocks from the bay, AC, on site washer and dryer, exercise room, pool, etc… For PB it is like hitting the jack pot. It is on the costly side but being professional salary paid adults it was in our budget. Except it is not. Under no circumstances should you live here! After one month there was a flood in our apartment. A pipe burst next door and our entire apartment had a few inches of water. And the front desk people could not have been more rude and uncaring. Apparently it «wasn’t their problem». They sent carpet cleaners who removed the padding underneath and ran fans for three days all the while saying it «wasn’t their problem where we stayed» and came back and they half ass replaced the padding so now when you walk you can feel the gaps in the padding… Also they didnt fully secure the carpets’ perimeter and it is totally lifted up… And upon asking if they would be treating for mold they replied with «uhh you should be fine» and the carpet smelt for a week after until we cleaned it ourselves. Then a few weeks after that my boyfriends car that was parked in the lot gets broken into and they just threw a bunch of trash in it… Weird but happy nothing is stolen. Then one month later they break in again and this time stealing some things. And we asked the front desk if they could put in some security cameras or at least fake ones to deture people from breaking into cars and again «not their problem». Then when doing laundry a giant cockroach the size of my hand walks alog the ground and when i call to ask that they spray and again «not their problem». And now this week i get into a car accident in which my car was totalled and i was unable to get the parking sticker out of but last night got a new rental car (after their business hours) so i was unable to report the change and they freaking tow my car out of the lot… No warning or anything. And again «not their problem». The total lack of customer service is horrendous! They don’t give a shit about anyone who rents here just as long as you rent and they can cash their commission paychecks. I have never been treated so poorly and if they wouldn’t charge and arm and a leg to break my lease I would. Okay now i have to add to this already horrible review. My friend came over last night and being a female she didnt want to have to park a few blocks away so she parked in a spot… Not kidding for 1 hour while we chatted and they towed her car. Are you kidding me. For one hour. You couldnt like make the rounds and come back to tow if it wasnt moved by then. Clearly safety isnt a concern for this apartment complex. They only care about cashing in on people

This place is nice but expensive and I have experienced a lot of problems. First our ceiling starts leaking because the 3^rd floors pipes broke. Maggots in our carpets, the fridge turns off so often. I’m so mad and we have a few more months until our lease ends. I wish we could move out already this is a bad place to live. It is also extremely noisy so if you have work forget bout sleeping early.

Lived here for about 6 months now and moved from Avalon (AVA) across the street. This is a HUGE improvement for me over Avalon strictly because of the neighbors. These neighbors I’ve experienced have been very polite, considerate, quiet, and seem to work normal jobs (unlike Avalon).
Pros–
–Quiet at night for sleeping
–Nice looking apartments
–Close to the bay
–Decent price
–Very pleasant staff
–Nice lobby, well-​kept landscape
Cons–
–DOGS ! There are so many dog owners here that do not train their pets to stay quiet. The dogs bark like crazy every morning at 6:00 am and it’s always the same owners yelling at the dogs to quiet down. This is very inconsiderate!
–Homeless/​sketchy-​looking people around a lot (PB in general)
–Very ugly dumpster areas
–Wash machines consistently broken
–Old appliances that break in apartment
–Awful workout-​area
–Ugly hallways
I recommend it for young professionals who work or study a lot and are willing to sacrifice on nice-​ness to live close to the bay. I am happy to live here for the price.

Don’t move here (im moving out ASAP!) Terrible management and staff! Rude rude rude!!! They make you feel like living with the enemy. Don’t waste your time AND money

I’ll try to keep it short. I live on La Playa, in a 1BR 1BT so here we go,
PROS:
— this was our dream apartment moving from DC.
— walking distance to the Bay and from our view we can see Sea World fireworks.
— living space was just right 4 me & GF & location is great.
— Kitchen & Bath are good sizes and appliances were modern.
— Party goers on this side haven’t ever been a problem/​noisy.
— front office staff was courteous and friendly.
CONS:
— They allow pets so the neighbors below us dogs bark constantly, constantly yapping at each other (unbelievably annoying).
— Old lady blares her TV in the early morning hours almost everyday. If I don’t sleep thru the night I’m screwed. Don’t let me share my thoughts on fixing that.
— Pipes smell on occasions seeping from the bathroom and kitchen sinks, RANK.
— Noisy during the week, in addition to the 1^st two CONS, (OMG) trash trucks, the crazy people who manicure their lawn everyday w/​blower machines, EMT vehicles, SONS of Anarchy motorcycles (I mean really, do they have to be that loud) and the same ass car alarms, Holy sh*t.
— Half the dryers were broke for like seriously 6 months.
Don’t bother thinking of getting all of your security deposit, nah… nope. If you have low to mid low standards, front office is waiting to sign you up. I’m out!

*****DO NOT LIVE HERE*****
I would give one star if I could. Bay Point was the worst apartment experience that I have ever had.
— RESIDENTS. A majority of the people at Bay Point are NOT people you want as neighbors. There are a lot of homeless people who crowd around the complex at all hours of the day. I was shocked at some of the people around this area.
–SAFETY. This is not a safe area. I left for six months on deployment and my wife had random people knocking on our door several times a month. Additionally, there were two crazy people who lived here who constantly harassed her (and other women in the complex as well). This is NOT a good place to live if you care about safety.
— LAUNDRY. Over 30 percent of the laundry machines have been broken, for the past year. It is comical. The driers take at least two to three cycles to dry your clothes (at 6 quarters a cycle). That’s a lot of quarters
— MANAGEMENT. The office is absolutely terrible. They will respond to service calls in a timely fashion, however if the problem takes longer than 15 minutes to fix they will simply tell you that it can’t be fixed. I lived with a broken screen door that I eventually had to fix because the maintenance man said it couldn’t be fixed. That’s the quality of servicd you will receive here
There are hidden fees EVERYWHERE with Bay Point. Don’t even think about getting your deposit back. I hired a professional cleaning service to go through my apartment and Bay Point still charged me 85 dollars for a «cleaning fee».
The thing that makes me the most angry– I tried to peel off the green parking decal when I moved out (you have to return it to them to avoid a 100 dollar fee) and it broke into a million pieces. They STILL charged me 100 dollars even though I could not physically take it off my car and return it in one piece.
Bottom line: look elsewhere in pacific beach. I would recommend the Avalon over Bay Pointe. The places are slightly nicer and the quality of resident in the complex is much higher.

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.

My time living here wasn’t in itself terrible, even though the apartments are dark and dingy feeling and the plumbing is old — if you live on the bottom floor for more than 2 months you will know the plumbers name by heart. Four things that really got to me: 1. The grounds are INFESTED with fleas. If your dog goes on that grass, it will get fleas. Within a day. More like an hour. 2. Let’s just talk about the bug problem inside the apartment. I hope you aren’t scared of bugs, because they are everywhere. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them spray the external grounds for bugs or spiders. 3. Don’t think you can break your lease, they make you pay about 3000 dollars to break your lease, and refuse to work with you at all. I got a new job that was 100 miles away, and they wouldn’t let me break my lease without paying an absurd fee which I couldn’t do. 4. (And here’s the real kicker) Don’t expect your security deposit back, you won’t get it. No matter how great of shape your apartment is in, they will find a way to keep it. They have so many addendums in their lease packet (it’s about 35+ pages long) that there is something they are going to find a loophole in and you won’t get your deposit back. It just really bothered me how unhelpful they are about any problems and how they have built in so many ways to screw people over, really it’s sad. That’s not how a relationship with a landlord should go. Unfortunately, I know I am not the only one with this experience, many of my neighbors faced all the same issues.

I am a current resident and after three months of wondering why the f*$*! I get bitten, today I found this whole place is infested with bed bugs. Big fat bed bugs have been feeding off of me all this time and I can’t feel more disgusted. I moved here without thinking it too much. I just needed a place close to work after I graduated. If I could have only read these reviews before I would have not move here. Now I realize why the staff were so sketchy when I was going over the lease contract and especially the addendum where I «confirmed» that there were no bed bugs in this place. How could I possibly be sure there were no bed bugs here a day before I actually moved in? Besides, since day 1 there was an invasion of ants from the balcony and from every crack in the bathroom floor. I bought a lot of poison and kill as many as I could and also I attributed the bites to the ants… but the itching continued even when I didn’t see any more ants. And now I know that it is the bed bugs. I tried calling management after-​hours, but nobody answered ever. I called a bed bug lawyer and I was told I have to give them the chance to fix it, but for what I read I’m not expecting anything good expect a huge confrontation with them. Honestly, I just want to move out of this place. Everything said here is true. It’s stuffy and smelly. Homeless people can be found in the hallway and everywhere else. Everything is outdated. The gym is a joke. I probably didn’t feed the bed bugs any fatter because I work almost all day and just come here to sleep. This place sucks.

This place was a nightmare for me. Excited to start my new life over, I had to put down my deposit on the apartment without seeing the exact unit I’d be in because it was still occupied. This seemed OK to me. When I arrived from Northern California, I moved in after signing the lengthy lease packet. Everything was great until day 4, right after I hung up my last picture.
I saw a cockroach walk up the refrigerator. I told the office and they seemed nice enough and said they’d schedule a pest control to come out in 5 days. I killed 2 small cockroaches per day, thinking well they’re just babies… Well, babies have mommies and grandmothers and grandfathers. That whole week I was very nauseous and couldn’t figure out why (probably salmonella carried by the roaches who were waltzing across my dishes at night.
Once they sprayed, more roaches came out of the woodwork, including big ones that writhe and twist their bodies in their death throes. I demanded to change apartments and after fighting, they let me but made me sign all this stuff and saying what a favor they’re doing for me. So and friend and I walked everything across the complex for 2 days to new new place which was nice and clean. I was thrilled to be in a nice clean place. I checked for cockroaches constantly and didn’t see any but the 2 hitchhikers that were half-​dead on the sides of the boxes I moved over. I was happy enough here (although it was really stuffy) but the buyers of the condo I had just sold cancelled on me and refused to give me the deposit which was due to me. Not only that, they sued me. My realtor messed everything up so bad, I had to return to San Jose to move back into my vacant apartment.
I had to break my lease. The office staff was not at all nice or supportive about this. They kept sending threatening notes that I need to pay my $ 2,550 lease break fee or they’ll send me to collections. This was before it was even due. I paid and left, then waited for my last month’s rent and security deposit refund. They deducted $ 350! I was in the 2^nd apartment for 6 weeks. They said they had to paint and fix the carpets. Huh? I hadn’t made a mark. Then they tried to short me $ 100 on the rest. I had to argue and argue and finally got my money back but they were really awful and mean to me and made my difficult situation so much worse.
Don’t rent here. They’re mean and cockroach-​infested.

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.

Got FLEAS the second day we moved, the staff was very responsive and polite but kept arguing with us that we brought them in even though we just moved in, literally. Got TERMITES 6 months in. All they did was spray some stuff to «kill them» whereas I’m pretty sure the whole cabinet section needs to be torn down. So their dead but there still in the walls? Cool… There’s also NO LOCKS on the buildings doors, so if you forget to lock your door inside assume a homeless person could just simply walk in. And we all have keys? So why not use those for the outside doors??? Because they are cheap and will nickel and dime any way they can. If I had a choice before moving here I definitely would have chosen elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and do the same.

If I could give a rating lower then a 1 star I would. This is the worst place on earth. The devil him self would be scared to live or be any where around this place. I have never meet any group of humans worse then the people that work there. Everything is out of date or broken. Somebody was literally stabbed left about a gallon of blood in the hall way. Bay pointe apartments then tried to cover it up by cleaning the carpet instead of getting a hazmat team and replacing the carpet. The list could go on and on. Just what ever you do don’t give these scum bags your money!

I loved PB… the people were always nice at the front desk and having the business center was a HUGE plus when my computer was getting fixed. Amenities were awesome. The biggest issue I had with them was the fact that I had 2,000 worth of laundry stolen from the dryer. I went to get it in the morning and it was still damp, so I put more quarters in and fell back asleep. I woke up 2 and a half hours later and it was all stolen. I’m talking all my best designer clothing that I had worked really hard to acquire and my bed sheets (yes I know, I was bad at sorting laundry back then). My then boyfriend and I went to the front desk and instead of viewing the video footage they claim to have in the hallways (considering my bedsheets were bright pink) they refused and told me to get a court subpoena… WTF. It was only after that incident that they now claim to have surveillance in the laundry rooms. What happened if someone was physically or sexually in their hallways– would the victim need to go through a lengthy process as well? Also, a lot of their of stuff is outdated. To end on a positive note, they aren’t thieves with the security deposits like a lot of places in San Diego county are.

I’m a current resident going into my second year at Bay Pointe, and THE ONLY reason I renewed my lease was to avoid the hassle of having to move. The management is awful, and there is little to no maintenance done on the dated complex and units. The carpet in the halls is old, and they refuse to replace it. Instead they steam wash it periodically which leaves the hallways smelling of wet dog and mildew for weeks. There aren’t nearly enough dumpsters for a complex this size, and it shows as the trash and recycling pile up and out of them for days before getting picked up and starting the cycle anew. The majority of the machines in the laundry room are broken at any given time, and it takes weeks — not days — to replace a light in the stairwells or hallways.
Frankly, I wouldn’t suggest living here despite the proximity to the bay. There are countless places within a stone’s throw that offer much more for the same cost or less (just look at Avalon across the street if you disagree).

Probably the only reason why i want to live here is because
1) Seaworld is down the street.
2) BEACH!!!
only gave it 3 stars because they way it looks but i love the location, l

The Bay Pointe management have no concerns for the safety of their residences. There is a main walkway from the buildings to the parking lot and it is completely unlit making it a hazard to walk on at night. This is just one small example of how poorly maintained this whole complex is. Broken doors off the stairwell, disgusting stained carpets, peeling paint, garbage piling up and spilling out of the trash area. The list goes on.
Here is a video of how dark the walkway/​path:

I’ve lived here for 8 months now and have been pretty happy. I actually work for a luxury apartment complex that is much more expensive so I feel that I have a lot to base my opinion off and to compare to.
The best thing about living in an older apartment complex is that the walls are WAY thicker than new construction and thus, cuts out the noise considerably. I live on the second floor (out of three floors) and I rarely hear my neighbors. Even better, we have a
surround sound system with a good bass and we never get noise complaints.
We’ve had a few issues but they were pretty much solved in a timely manner by the management company: 1) I found a huge cockroach in my shower which scared me to death but I guess it’s common in any drain system and they had a pest control company come out for free a few days later and spray our apartment. 2) Our shower starting backing up with water from the upstairs neighbor but they promptly had maintenance come out and take care of it.
The only issue I mind is that there are constantly dumpster divers in our trash and on Christmas eve I had one of them piece together one of the checks I ripped up and threw away (dumb on my part too, I know) and they stole $ 1000 out of my checking account.
Other than that, the amenities are great — tennis courts, pool and two spas — and the location is awesome.
