Today I had a tour scheduled at 10am my husband had to take his day off from work to come see this apartments. I go into the leasing center and there is absolutely no one there I was calling and calling and emailing and no answer. There was also a contractor or worker there waiting for them but no answer. Such a bad experience! and waste of time.UPDATE: The next date they gave me a tour and I applied. Thank you to Jazyln she is such a professional and nice person 🙌🏼 They actually care about you in this apartments 🫶🏼

I've lived at Bayview Apartments for over 10 years, and the community is very nice. The people are very nice that have come to live here. We have great management with Kari and Jeremy and are currently remodeling and it is looking fantastic! There is no place like home and I'm happy this is mine.
