I like where I live and it's mostly quiet. Upgrades need to be made to older apartments. I do like how quickly the maintenance staff responds to requests.

Maintenance can use a touch up on customer service and professionalism. Jordan is great. She has always been super friendly since the 1st day I met her.

It’s just ok. Over priced, slow to respond with maintenance. Gates are always broke. Mail box hasn’t been fix yet and been here for over a year. Only kept my lease because trying to purchase a house and the location is convenient for us.

While I would appreciate maintenance being more responsive to issues, I enjoy living on this property! The office staff is friendly, and responsive to requests.

It could be better, inregad to the noise control with the neighbors beside and on top of me. The neighbors don't adhere to to trash pickup and policy

We just recently moved here. Jordan at the office was great. She answered all of our questions and was very helpful. Everything went smooth.

Appliances are old and if you already live here that won’t change they just keep trying to fix the old stuff instead of replacing it. The gates are frequently broken.

I love, love, loved my five years at Alvista Bowie Apartments once called The Garfield Apartments! The staff has been extremely helpful and friendly. I love all the amenities that the Alvista Bowie community provides, and the location is perfect!

The neighborhood is great. The apartments could use some much needed upgrading. The entry way and staris need some sprucing up. Very slow to repond to mainteneance inquiries.

Would recommend it for the outstanding community and especially the professional staff and extremely kind and friendly neighbors.

The community is awesome and well kept. The hospitality of staff is very good and welcoming. They made relocating easy.

I have already recommended this property to a couple of people because of the excellent customer service provided by the leasing agents, as well as, the beauty and quietness of the property.

This particular maintenance request re: no hot water was handled efficiently and correctly

The timeliness of the maintenance requests being met has improved dramatically and I think that is a positive influence.

Slow request to fix repairs, too many maintenance employees changing and office staff with the exception of Myra.

Very nice staff, unfortunately Pandemic has not allowed for many significant improvements

When I first moved here I would have definitely but after being here a little more than 2 years my complaints have not been resolved despite me complaining multiple times. Looking forward to moving.

I would rate this a 5 but it took several requests and several failed repairs to finally get this fixed. If it were not for that it would be a 5

Over all I like the apartment except for the high cost of water and sewer.

I would recommend the community because it's mostly quiet, I feel safe and I haven't had many major problems

The maintenance team has always been quick and thorough. And very professional.

It takes a lot of time to get repairs and/or replacements

I would recommend this apartment community. However, the maintenance crew and service has gone down. I do know that they are working on it and I hope it gets better.

This is the longest I have stayed in a rental unit and I enjoy the property.

The noise above my head is awful. The smell of cigarette and Marijuana comes through my apartment. The cracks in the foundation allows bugs to come in. The MB vent doesn't blow hot or cold air.

The staff here at this apartment community are very professional, helpful, and friendly.

I have been here going on 2 years and when I had a problem it was taken care of as quickly as possible.
