Apartment Belle Harbour

This is my first review of several I’m sure. Just moved in about a week ago. The office staff has been extremely professional, courteous and accommodating. Maintenance has been punctual, courteous and has fixed all issues we reported in a timely manner. So far, I’ve been very impressed with their operation and the condition of the properties and support facilities. As of now, I’d have no problem recommending this place. The only complaint I have is the cabinets are in need of replacement. Almost all cabinets are delaminating. Not so much that you’d notice by looking at them but closer inspection would reveal it.

Basically, do not live here, just don’t do it. I spent 2 and half years at Belle Harbour. The management is terrible, and could care less about their tennants. I found several things wrong with the place after I moved in, that they never actually fixed: fixtures not quite in the walls right, loudest garbage disposal known to man (they said it was just really powerful… they were full of poo). I have lived in 5 different aparment communities across AR and TN over the last several years. I have never had a problem getting my deposit back, or owed money. This place sent me a bill to have the carpet replaced for $ 1100 for a pet stain in the carpet. I will not deny that the stain was there, but I paid a $ 500 non-​refundable deposit when I moved in, plus $ 20 a month pet rent for this purpose. When you own pets, you know they will have an accident or two here and there, it comes with the territory, but I felt like my bases were covered. $ 500 up front plus $ 20 over 2.5 years, comes to… oh about…$ 1100. So I had to pay for the carpet twice.
All of that aside, I had to give a 60 day move out notice. I knew this going in, but when you’re excited about a new place, you tend to overlook these things, and then realize the pain you’ve caused yourself down the road. Don’t make the mistake I did. None of the new places I looked would hold a place for 60 days. So I had to give my notice, cross my fingers, and hope that something would be available 30 days out in a place that I wanted to live.
My suggestion would be to avoid Mud Island all together. I went that direction because I was new to the downtown area, heard it was nice and safe, and was a single female living alone who needed a safe place to walk the dog. There are plenty of other areas in downtown to do this where you don’t lose that «downtown» feel and character. Mud Island is for people who want to pretend they live downtown, but really belong out the burbs. Check out the South Main District instead.
