Pointe Breeze Apartments

I lived in Pointe Breeze from 2011-2013 for the full 2 years and it was an EXCELLENT experience! Short version: it's affordable, safe, well maintained, excellent maintenance staff and a great management staff that really responds to your needs.



The apartment itself was great. They are old, but that means that they are built very well, and they have all been remodeled on the inside. The walls are very thick so you can't hear anything. Also, being on the top floor, the heat from the other units would rise, so my utilities were extremely cheap all year long. The carpets are either replaced or cleaned before every renter, so moving in is a great experience.



There was only one management change in 2 years and it was a great change. When the new property manager, Melanie, came in, she totally changed the feel of the entire complex. She started by cleaning the look of the entire place by having any chairs in walkways removed and everyone's blinds fixed so the appearance is much nicer, and uniform. The pool was repainted, the entrance landscaping was redone, there was a dog park added, and there is even a workout room! All of these things were bonuses the management added to make it a better place to live.



Did rent go up because of the improvements? Yes, for new renters, the rate was increased because it was WAY to cheap. The new rates are a great value for the amount of space that you get, and higher rents brings in better tenants. If there were tenants that didn't pay their rent...they were evicted so new renters could come in. Those were the ones that caused problems anyways. I'm sure there were problems with over 100 apartments on site, but they were either not around my apartment, or the management handled them so that they did not affect me at all...in 2 years, so that's pretty impressive.



The maintenance staff is also fantastic. They have a dedicated phone number for 24 hour access for emergencies, and almost every work order that I submitted was completed the next day. The maintenance staff is extremely friendly, they are clean, nice guys and they do great work. They really take pride in fixing the issues and realize that they aren't just fixing "an apartment", they are fixing your actual home.



Overall, Pointe Breeze was a great experience. The views are fantastic, and the staff is working on making the entire apartment community better and better. I would definitely recommend it.

Does the term Rube Goldberg mean anything to you? The only good apartment there is the model unit and it is only in fair condition. They cant get supplies for work orders, and in some cases it takes months to get even the simple things done. The maintenance supervisor is a joke. He sits around all day barking orders but wont come out to fix anything unless you call 10 times. Walls are wet and moldy. lots of electrical issues, you pay for gas as well as electricity. Save your breath and stear clear of this place. As for those unfortunate ones currently here, well, as soon as our lease is up, we are out of here. Recommend a bull dozer to correct the problems here.
