Bellmere Apartments

Nothing’s perfect, but as far as apartment rental this is about as good as it gets.
Paying 650 rent for 650sf.
Pro:
–One text message to Cody and it’s fixed the next day. Had issues with leaky faucet and stove burners going out on separate occasions.
–Apartments and the grounds are clean. Red brick construction contributes to a upscale feel.
–Application process was smooth. One call, a few text messages then sign a lease. This was a time where all the other complexes waffled with maybes and made our move more difficult even though we had enough money to pay the entire lease up front. This place took the opportunity to deal with us as people looking for a place to live and not some stack of employment and bank account verifications.
–Small Washer/​Dryer in unit. I despise going out for laundry day, and this amenity is worth 50/​month to me at least.
–External storage spaces on site help get the best use out of the 650sf apartment.
–1.5 bathrooms in 650sf is a ridiculous amount, but it adds to a decadent feel.
Con:
–There is a train and it crosses the tracks at Frame St so it makes all the usual train sounds and no time of night is immune.
–The triangle of space between Bell and Mingo is a bit slim on access. Between the speed trap near TWU on Bell and not a single pedestrian crosswalk to get to downtown Denton it adds a bit of oomph to not get out. If they plowed over those apartments one block west and put Bellmere there it would be perfect.
Notes:
–There is no longer an on-​site manager (not sure if the website reflects this yet).
But seriously, five stars. Every other place I’ve been has some surprise glaring flaw such as flooding, people breaking into your stuff, shootings, being condemned, etc. This one manages to be just an apartment that works as advertised. If they could make the train go away and shut down Bell street so all the traffic goes along Mingo it would get the proverbial sixth star.
