Apartment Review for Beaconview Apartments - Birmingham, AL

When we first signed our lease 2 years ago this place fit our needs. The apartments themselves are just fine. They had just finished renovating our building and we were the first people to move in. The apts were definitely redone as cheaply as possible. Things have really gone down hill this year. I have had to have my ac fixed 8 times approx and finally got them to replace it this summer, though it is 11:30 pm and still 80 degrees in my apt now. Most of the people living here are the reason that living here is so unbearable. We hear gun shots almost every weekend, which the police never come to, the dumpsters on average have my trash surrounding them then inside including broken beer bottles at all times. No one picks up after their animals and there for my poor dog has gotten worms twice. I can't wait until my lease is up next month. I am going to be having a baby in a few months and refuse to bring a baby here. Oh and btw kids break off pieces of the fence and throw fence chunks, rocks, and garbage in the pool all the time because everyone just sends there kids to the playground and doesn't care to ever watch them. I have seen kids as young as 2 down there being watched by 4 year old kids. Also people are constantly drinking and doing drugs in the parking lots and breezeways. Sorry I keep rambling but I cannot say enough about how horrible it is here
