DO NOT LIVE HERE

July 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
A pipe ruptured above my unit, dumping water all over my apartment, bed, and belongings. I wasn’t compensated for the damage or time I had to spend living in a smaller model unit. Additionally, as other reviews have noted, the tap water is periodically putrid and sulfuric. I was told this issue had been resolved prior to my signing a lease, but this was blatantly false. I also want to caution against this property's lack of transparency regarding its many fees, including a $500 "admin" fee and ...
$225 amenity fee, for access to the roof that they significantly restrict. When touring, they suggested I could use the common areas to host guests, but only later informed me of the strict limit of only a couple guests per resident, instead offering me use of the dining room that costs hundreds of dollars to rent out. The sticker price of these apartments is deceptive; the true cost of living here is far greater than they let on, while the experience is far worse than represented. They will try to lure you in with flashy features like an outdoor TV they never provide a remote for, rooftop fire pits that don't work, and an ice cream machine, which I have not seen in use a single time since moving in. Do not fall for it!

It was difficult trying to get the move in process started because we weren’t sent the welcome letter which tells us next steps. Also the bellhop to help with moving in was no where to be found so it was a lot of trips. But the building is beautiful and the people are nice.

The staff was unhelpful throughout the entire lease signing and move in process. I went in sight unseen and it was very difficult to even receive a video of the unit without having to contact the leasing team multiple times.

I love living here. It’s quiet, beautiful, clean, and everything is friendly and professional. It’s brand new and you can tell they put a lot of effort into the design. My unit was designed so well, with built in storage and cabinets everywhere. I barely need any other furniture which is great. Very pet friendly, great gym, great rooftop (no pool but that doesn’t bother me), and many lounging areas. It also feels VERY safe!

From the very first visit to Balsa, I was struck by how beautiful and thoughtfully designed the building is. Its modern architecture, elegant finishes, and inviting atmosphere make it stand out immediately. But beyond the aesthetics, what truly made this experience memorable was the outstanding service I received during the leasing process. I want to give full credit and appreciation to Marcus, who guided me through every step with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Marcus went above ...
and beyond to ensure I felt confident and informed throughout the entire journey—from the initial tour to signing the lease and settling in. His attention to detail and friendly approach made what can often be a stressful process feel seamless and even enjoyable. If you're considering Balsa as your next home, I wholeheartedly recommend it—not just for the stunning building, but for the exceptional team behind it. Huge thanks to Marcus for being such a fantastic support!
