Smoke for a Toddler
June 2, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
If you are considering moving to The Vue at Baymeadows, look somewhere else. This management team operates purely in bad faith, and if you read the other reviews, you'll quickly see they have a history of ignoring residents and giving units the "landlord special" to hide serious problems.
Before we even moved in, management clearly knew the previous tenant was a heavy chain-smoker. Their "solution" was to slap a cheap coat of paint on the walls and do a superficial cleaning to mask the stench ...
just long enough to get us to sign the lease.
Their cover-up didn't last. The smell of stale smoke is so overwhelming that it has permanently seeped into our furniture, and our clean clothes literally reek of cigarettes. I had to submit multiple complaints to a completely apathetic management team just to get them to respond. It actually took me bringing in a piece of my clothing for them to physically smell before they finally admitted there was an issue.
Their grand solution? They handed us a single air purifier. That doesn't actually fix the root of the problem—it just proves they know exactly what we're breathing in.
Here is the most infuriating part: there is a 3-year-old child living in this unit. Breathing in third-hand smoke every single day is a major health hazard for a developing toddler. When I demanded a real solution, they had the nerve to claim they have "zero ability to resolve" the issue. That is a flat-out lie. I can walk around the complex right now and point out multiple empty, suitable units sitting vacant. A simple unit transfer would solve this immediately, but they outright refuse to do it.
This is beyond the usual awful landlord behavior. They are perfectly fine taking your premium rent money while actively choosing to leave a child in a hazardous environment. Save your money, save your belongings, and most importantly, save your family's health. Do not rent here.
