Porto Bella Apartments

apartment at Porto Bella has this), Nest thermostat controls (again, not one apartment at Porto Bella has this), you'll even see claims of on-site movie theaters (again, false), and "over-sized closets" (nonsense--they're just normal-sized closets). But let's move on from the outlandish and untrue claims made by AMC and get down to the nitty gritty. If you move to Porto Bella, PREPARE FOR YOUR RENT TO GO UP EVERY YEAR, EVEN THOUGH NO NEW AMENITIES ARE ADDED, AND NOT ONE SINGLE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT IS MADE. They raised our rent effective December 1st, just before the holidays. Happy holidays indeed! Only "improvement" I noted in our first year here was that they painted the pool gates with a fresh coat of lovely diarrhea green--yipee! If that one minor "improvement" is why my rent went up $75 a month for the second year, what a joke! While I'm on the subject: The pool here is an absolute disgrace--ALWAYS filthy, cleaned MAYBE once monthly. Literally went to the pool once to find a band-aid floating around. Yuck! They'll also randomly lock the pool gates for days or even weeks at a time, with no notice to tenants, nor even a basic explanation as to WHY. AMC Living site will tell you this is "resort style" living--HAH! Did I mention the one time they turned the gas off for "planned" repairs, but gave tenants 4 hours notice via papers left on the door (couldn't even tell us to our faces, or email us) , and the gas was off for over 24 hours so no one could cook or take a hot shower? Yeah, that was a thing! While I'm on the subject of hot water, let's discuss the showers. Some days they'll work just fine. Other days, it's absolutely impossible to get any hot water, no matter how long you let it run. But by far the most insidious and annoying problem is that, quite often, while you're enjoying a shower, the temperature will at random SKYROCKET TO SKIN-SCALDING LEVELS with no warning or rhyme or reason. So beware, especially if you have small children.
