Good luck sleeping here.
December 3, 2023Absolutely terrible floors. You hear everything and the creaks just from walking. If you’re not on a top floor, you won’t ever even be able to sit in your own living room peacefully.Property Manager Responded
December 21, 2023Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We want you to feel comfortable in your home so if you believe your neighbors are violating our community policies, please let us know directly. I would love to discuss this but I will need to know where you live and have you report it to the office so we can address it. We hope to talk with you soon.

NEVER EVER LIVE HERE
October 25, 2023The name says it all. RUNAWAY. Complete slum, buildings are beyond repair, they refuse to do the bare minimum such as clearing out dryer vents so you don’t have to dry clothes for 6 plus cycles (put in 3 separate maintenance requests in the 10 months I was there) thanks for the extra utility bills I truly enjoyed spending half a day drying anything. there were 2 shootings in front of my building in the first 3 months I was there. I had the renovated unit, it is slapping lip stick on a pig. They ...nickel and dime you for everything. INSANELY over priced especially considering the quality. My balcony was detached from the building when I moved in which if you look around is not a surprise. All of the wood is dry rotted and decayed every where, to an unsafe condition. I moved out the very second my 10 month lease was up after considering just abandoning the lease as it was less than acceptable. I moved out the same time the neighbor below me moved Out as we could not “runaway” fast enough, other neighbors remarked they were jealous! Windows you have to use a screw driver to get to close all the way and can still hear a whisper outside. Valet trash pick up is spotty at best, engines revving for hours on end at all hours of the night. I could go on about what a disaster this place is. Hands down the Worst place I have rented across multiple states in my entire life and not even close. I am not one to post a negative review typically but I could not in good faith not warn others. It is a complete dump. Do not under any circumstances rent at this slum. High crime, high prices, low quality, cheap management and the most ridiculously low quality buildings you will find. Rented a 2 br townhouse a few streets away for less than what I was paying there. I’m sure their response will be “it is fairly priced compared to the market” it is not, you could make something out of legos with higher quality. Do not make the same mistake I did or the countless other residents who leave the second their lease is up. You will see a lot full of uhauls on a Saturday for a reason, they are RUNNING away from runaway bay.Property Manager Responded
October 27, 2023We apologize that your experience with our community has been anything less than exceptional. Our team is committed to providing stellar service to all who walk through our doors and we are sorry to learn that we fell short of your expectations. Thank you for bringing items to our attention. We have completed a full property dryer vent cleaning to help ensure we keep the air flowing correctly. We have replaced numerous stairs, balconies, and wooded area around the property as fast as we can to ensure safety for our residents. I would love to address the revving cars as sadly the office is not open past 6:00PM, we do rely on the community to bring those issues to the office and inform us of which unit is causing the disturbance. I have looked up this information and can not find a record, I would be more than happy to discuss this further with you to avoid future residents to have to endure this. We will most certainly use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure these issue do not ...happen again

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!
October 20, 2022By far the WORST APARTMENT I have ever lived at!! They charge this "low" base rent to appear attractive to people but then find ALL kinds of ways to add fees to your bill. They charge for trash pick up whether you want it or not and they have the worst trash system after with trash ALL OVER THE PLACE. They charge for pest control but apartments have roaches there like they pay rent too! The visitor parking is a whole other thing. $5 per evening/night if someone is there after 6pm or else they get ...towed. $50 per month to have a permanent decal. The one for my car get damaged trying to remove it when I got a different car and then I was billed another $30 per month to have it replaced, PER MONTH! Then billed for it again AFTER I Ieft to go live somewhere else because I didn't give them the damaged one. The place stinks ALL the time. They quote its non smoking but weed and smoking dwells there like crazy. My last might when I left had 3 water bills for some reason and another set of fees appearing like I didn't pay them before. They are extremely opportunistic and I would never suggest anyone every live here. The apartments look NOTHING like what they advertise and nothing about them are "updated" This "new" management staff is the worst and so are their policies. Its all a pile of crap! I wanted to leave the very first week I was there!!! My final bill had 3 water bills that were each double the charge of what I pay now for a two bedroom apartment when it's only a 1 bedroom and I have a way bigger and nicer apartment. The have it all thrown into their leases to protect themselves but I fell for it due to timing and but doing my due diligence. DO NOT DO IT!!! There are better places to live for the money!!Property Manager Responded
October 21, 2022Mr. Forbes, we try our best to prepare residents for potential fees in advance of moving out. Ultimately, additional charges are dependent upon the condition of various spaces/ items in your home which are more readily identified after move out. A parking policy is signed by each resident informing them of all rules upfront. The rules are explained in various places to avoid misunderstandings and signed by you the resident. We are not a non-smoking community and it is not advertised as such. While I also understand your frustration as far as Marijuana is concerned we follow all local laws. Your water is billed in the rears as explained in numerous places as well. We do offer weekly pest control services and anytime a resident needs service we are more than happy to add them to the list. If you have any further issues please reach out to the rental office and we would gladly assist.

Great place to live
July 7, 2022I moved into the Runaway Bay 2 months ago and my experience has been fantastic. Sara went out of her way to help me finalize everything needed before move-in. She made the process seamless!! When I arrived on move-in day, I was shocked at how clean my unit was. Not having to deep clean made move-in a breeze! The community is clean, quiet, and well maintained. When I have maintenance needs, they are completed so fast it is like there was never a problem! I am so happy to be living here and can't ...say enough amazing things about Sara and the Runaway Bay team!Property Manager Responded

CALL IT HOME
July 7, 2022The building manager and staff are attentive to resident needs and organize events to foster building community rapport. Zoey took her time to make sure that I had the home I wanted as well as needed. With a gym, pool, dog park, playground, and more the community is the perfect place to call home. New appliances and updated cabinets make for a beautiful living space.Property Manager Responded

Home is at RUNAWAY
July 7, 2022"A great place to call "HOME". The entire staff always greets you with a smile and is very helpful to our needs, and is quick to attend to any problems that arise. They are very pet friendly! My dog LOVES a walk to the office to visit his favorite leasing staff for treats and pets. The grounds and facilities are kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers. The workout rooms are open 24//7 and are rarely crowded and the pool area is lovely. I live alone here and could not feel safer ...anywhere else.Property Manager Responded
August 12, 2022Thanks, Neighbor! We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this feedback. Our company values resident satisfaction as top priority.

A Nice Place to Live
July 22, 2021I recently moved into Runaway Bay Apartments and I am enjoying it so far. I interacted with most of the employees at the leasing office and I had pleasant interactions with all of them. They were all friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help me as I navigated the leasing and moving process. It has been mostly quiet around me; there is some minor noise from the roads nearby but I have not heard my neighbors much at all. It is a peaceful place to live overall. All of the people from around the ...complex that I have spoken to are very friendly. There are always people around walking their dogs and enjoying the beautiful amenities around the complex. There is ample parking for both residents and visitors. The parking lot is kept clean. The valet trash has always been picked up on the scheduled days as well. I have had no issue with package deliveries- everything is always brought straight to my door. I put in some maintenance tickets with the leasing office for some minor issues that I found at move in. The leasing office staff was very helpful in putting the tickets in for me. Maintenance came very quickly and fixed all of my issues. I have only had positive interactions with maintenance as I have spoken to them around the complex as well. They are so friendly! Overall, I am enjoying my new apartment so much. I only have positive interactions and experiences to share from the time I have been here. I am so happy that I chose Runaway Bay Apartments.Property Manager Responded
