Bell View at Northshore

Noisy neighbors and bad maintenance plus cockroaches everywhere

Please do not let this place fool you. It may be affordable but you get what you pay for. Moving in, my lease stated that there was a swimming pool as an amenity. When I moved in, they were filling it in and never stated such. They drove up the rent price for water, but took away the pool?? Doesn't make a lot of sense. Now they are enforcing parking permits for THEIR lack of parking availability. I say that because they allow many people to live in ONE apartment, but are now mad because there isn't any parking. I'm fairly certain they don't actually do background checks due to the multiple drug dealers scattered through the buildings. But if you bring up concerns of that kind, they do nothing about it. The balconies are so ridden with carpenter bees, and are such a safety hazard, including missing boards but nobody seems to care. The bug problem is alarming at the least, and the walls do not meet with the floors in many of the rooms of the apartment, suggesting structural damage. Overall, I suggest anybody avoid this complex at all costs. I regret ever moving here.

Worse management ever there’s trash everywhere they don’t respond to maintenance emails. Mold in apartment they don’t care. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

I have lived at Cambridge arms for several years now, I love my apartment! Its very large and all the closet space is awesome. The buildings are a bit older but well taken care of. If i ever have a problem the office and maintenance usually have it taken care of the same day. Every now and then I can hear my neighbors but no more than at any of my friends apartments. I have read some of the other reviews and I have never had a problem with bugs at all and the laundry room is not a problem either. Some people are just unhappy no matter what.

I lived here a year with my sister as a "transition apartment" - it was cheap, in a great location, and we thought the brick and light blue accents made for a pleasant aesthetic. We honestly did not expect much or plan to stay long, but I loved living here! I had great neighbors, no problems with noise (we were on the top floor, so that might've helped), any problems we had were attended to in a reasonable time by maintenance, and 1,000 sq ft was plenty of space for us at a great price! It's an older building and the interior could have looked better - things like light fixtures, wall color, appliances, and linoleum/carpet - however, we expected as much for the price and after our own touch it looked great and was very cozy. The smell of pot in the halls did get a tad annoying, but our neighbors were nice people. I loved how it was tucked out of the way hidden in the trees, but still near a prominent intersection (Northshore Dr and Kingston Pike). The roomy balconies were a huge plus for us as well. The property manager could be difficult to get in touch with, but once we got her, she was always helpful, and there was also an emergency maintenance line if needed. All in all, we had very few problems and it was a great place to live. I moved because I started making more money and thought I'd upgrade, but I miss this place! The location for that price can't be beat!

Somewhat nice and very spacious, but semi-run down units. Once you get out of your unit, beware. The grass is covered in dog feces. Pot smokers all over this place & drug deals made in the parking lot due to its secluded location. Either teens or hookers leave used condoms in the parking lot and binge eaters throw their fast food bags out too. The pool is more of a community pool as it has no lock on the gate, and is swarmed by non-residents all summer long. Management allows gas & charcoal grills on decks that do not extend far enough from the building to meet the fire code. Lots of turnover here. Probably due to the review above.

If you don't mind smelling smoke in the hallways, land lords who complain about you calling too much, and teenagers leaving used condoms in the parking lot, then this is a great place for you! The apartments are good sizes and fairly renovated. However, don't be alarmed if you here snoring in the middle of the night from your neighbors below you, or the occasional smell of weed because you're neighbors don't feel good. But don't worry, the landlord is just fine with it, and makes excuses for when a possible drug deal is going on. Over all, Cambridge Arms is a great place to live and would highly recommend it to anyone who has high level of patience.

I love my apartment. Been here for 2 years and never had any major problems. Great mantinence they come immediatly and always fix the peoblem. I definitely plan on staying here for a couple more years.
