Apartment Description
The Beacon is a community offering affordable student housing, upscale amenities, and great service for our residents. We offer recently renovated two, three, and four bedroom apartment homes. Whether you want to relax by our sparkling pool, get a... great workout in our 24 hour gym, or relax in our resident lounge, The Beacon is sure to have something for you! We are located one mile from campus, one mile from Interstate 85, and conveniently located to shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Move in day on Thursday was horrible! The apartment looked as if it had not been cleaned in 3 years! They had to replace the carpet before we could begin moving in (red stains amongst other things. Roach bait gel on the base boards, top of the doors, on the walls, although we only found 1 dead one. Dishwasher coming out of cabinet and two cabinets are broken. The vanity in bathroom doesn’t broken, toilet seat broken we had to replace it! It was no better after cleaning people came in and we came back 4 hours later. First day was spent with us cleaning! Definitely not what we seen when doing the tour! Also, room matching was not what we were told! We have 2 freshman’s with 2 that aren’t students and older by at least 3 to 4 years! Some apartments had black mold and no air conditioner. Beware before you sign!

Lived here for 3 years. Everything you need to know
Moving in, there was mold everywhere. The neighborhood is incredibly sketchy (there are always police cars patrolling). My apartment constantly smelled like weed because every single one of my neighbors smoked pot in broad daylight. Our A/C went out TWICE a year, and took them MONTHS to fix it every time. Everything in our apartment broke at some point in time, and maintenance was incredibly intrusive (they walked right in without knocking). We had a roach problem. The walls are thing, and our neighbors were incredibly loud with parties, fights, arguments, etc. Every time I went outside, the guy across the street cat-called me and made me incredibly uncomfortable. One man peed off his balcony in the morning. The rent prices rise every single year for no reason. The gym is not open 24/7. It actually closes quite early. Do yourself a favor and do not move here.

My Experience
I have lived at The Beacon for two years and I can say that I really enjoyed my first year of living here. The staff was always nice to me and the maintenance team always fixed any problem that I had in a timely manner. However, something changed during my second year here. The gym was often dirty and provided no disinfectant spray or paper towels. I notified the office and they cleaned the gym and provided supplies, but within a couple of weeks the gym was dirty again and out of supplies. As a result, I started going to another gym. On another occasion, I was having recurring noise problems from a neighbor. I contacted the office four times about this issue and they did not do anything about it until I was able to email them a video of how loud the noise was. Lastly, in the middle of my lease, the business started using a new payment system that charges the residents almost $20 as a “service fee” to simply pay their bill. The worst part about this was that The Beacon did not tell the residents about this new policy. It was up to the residents to figure it out. This second year at the Beacon has left me feeling like the business takes advantage of college students. They brush off the residents and do not take their comfort seriously.

DON'T DO IT!!!
What they don't tell you is when your roommate moves out for the summer and pays their rent, they have the right to move a stranger into your apartment. They treat each unit like a dorm! You thought you were living with friends and everyone is paying their rent (even through the summer) as detailed specifically in the lease! Then, when one person turns their key in because they will not be back in the state until after the move out date, The Beacon WILL move a stranger into your apartment! DANGEROUS!!!
Not to mention, when something is broken, it takes them forever to fix it!!!
Not a good experience!
Property Manager Responded: Thank you for your review of your Beacon experience. As most student housing complexes in the nation will advise you, units are sold by the room. The situation you've described did not occur in this manner, and the person who moves out and returns their keys has officially subleased their unit to another resident. If you have questions regarding a maintenance fix, please come see our staff immediately. Thank you.
