The Blake Apartments, savannah-ga

I’ve lived at the Betty Townhomes for the past two years and have recently signed my lease for a third year. While there have definitely been some ups and downs during my time here, I can genuinely say that I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement since the new management team took over. Some of my biggest frustrations in the past were with utilities, maintenance requests, and unclear expectations surrounding monthly payments. All three of these areas have improved significantly under the new management. In particular, having utilities handled directly through the apartment complex rather than through a third-party company has made things much simpler and more straightforward for me. That change was a major factor in my decision to renew for another year. I also want to give a special shoutout to the new management team, and Dianna in particular. She has been incredibly accommodating and helpful while I worked through some confusion, including a missed utility payment during the transition to the new system. I really appreciate the patience and communication I’ve received. Overall, while no apartment community is perfect, I’m happy to see the improvements that are being made. The changes under the new management have made a noticeable difference in my experience here.

So I’ve lived here for two years, through management changes and different roommates all in the same apartment. My first year living here (2024-2025), management and move in was a nightmare. I moved into an apartment completely full of abandoned items left by previous tenants… the apartment should have been cleaned before anyone moved in but it was not and all of the stains and holes in the walls proved that. A previous tenant came into our apartment without our consent to retrieve stuff she left behind as well. An email was sent to management and they promptly responded yet never followed up as the same week we experienced a horrific hurricane that knocked out the apartment’s power for 2 weeks. It’s obvious there was a change in management around late 2025 and you can tell that they’re putting a lot of care and energy into making the complex as nice as possible. However, it still feels like you’re living in a run down apartment due to the elevator breaking at least twice a month, people stealing your paid parking spot constantly, your electronic keys to get into the building breaking at midnight so you aren’t able to get into the building at all if your roommates are asleep. In the summer, the apartment feels abandoned as the pool is lowkey filled with trash and the amenities are just not as nice as they are painted out to be. The cherry on top of this all is as I am moving into a new apartment for my next two years of my masters, I find out my rent was hiked way up in comparison to new tenants moving in. And I mean some ppl are paying $850-900 and I currently pay $1450. Like are you serious. I’m looking for new apartments to move into for the next two years and I’m astonished at the fact that $1450 could get me a nice ass apartment on River street with insanely beautiful amenities whilst I’m being hella uncharged here for the bare minimum. Not to mention things in the apartment constantly breaking (although the maintenance men are very nice and efficient), I’ve encountered people sleeping in the halls, and some neighbors complaining of mold. Choose wisely ppl.

Recent graduate of GSU & absolutely LOVE the Haven at Sav. Julia is super friendly and always answers my questions. They also plan super fun resident events. This is the best place to live and even better staff :)

Dianna W. is the best! She not only helped me with my lease and moving in. She has continued to help with all questions and accommodations. The Haven at Sav is a fantastic place to stay in downtown Savannah! Wish I could give her more than five stars!

My daughter moved in to the Blake this September. She is a freshman at SCAD and was looking to have more personal space than the dorms could provide. She is extremely happy living atThe Blake, she enjoys having roommates, but also having her own bedroom and bath room! We would definitely recommend The Blake if your college student want to have roommates but also their own space. I as a parent live the Safty features that are in place.
