The View on 10th, waco-tx

If you’re looking for a place for your son or daughter to call home while at Baylor - DON’T LET IT BE HERE. Repairs take too long. I’ve got 3 at Baylor and this place has been the worst experience by far. There are better places trust me - if you can get out before you move in - DO IT.

I have lived at the view for a little over 2 years now. All I can say is I wished I choose somewhere else to live. I'll be going into my senior year now so I'm just going to tough it out. But this will probably be the biggest regret of my college experience. Most of my friends have already left the view. The view started off pretty decent but has just declined and I have a ton of issues with them. First of all there back end system sucks. They are always losing track of accounts and payment history and just stuff they should be on top of. The staff is friendly but its a burden to get stuff done. As for the more recent issues however there has been at least 4 or 5 times where the fire alarm goes off at 3-4am. Which is super inconvenient especially with early classes to wake up for. They can say that the problems are fixed or that it won't happen again. But it is already happened 5 times, and the response time is always lacking, so I guess we will see. Another issue is that the power has gone out a bunch, which seems to be just this building and not a local issue. On top of that the pool has been closed for almost 6 months. Pools need maintenance and it seems to just be neglected. We couldn't even use the hot tub all winter while it was actually cold enough to enjoy it. Like we pay for those features and its been a long time with out them with no communication. Also the parking garage is very sub optimal. It is just a really tight space and people fly up and down, every corner you turn you almost hit someone. I've seen it happen. Also they tried to tow me without warning recently, which I guess they can do, but every time someone parks in my spot and I complain they always send out a notice first. And I got nothing. Doesn't seem right. Another garage issue is the security, half the time the gate is just left open for anyone to come in. And in addition to that, there are only cameras at the one entrance and the rest of the garage is just blind. So if anything happens away from the entrance there is just no way to see it. And that security issue goes throughout the whole building. The new management here has reduced there office hours and has decided just to leave the front door unlocked at all times. So anyone can walk in at any hour of the night. And we used to have a security guy, but with this new management he is no longer around. And I don't think he was replaced. One last thing is that with the reduced office hours and not being opened on weekends, it is really hard to get packages delivered. Since they can only be delivered when the office is open my packages get delayed pretty frequently since they show up when the office is closed. The only good thing I can say about the view is that the maintenance is very quick and responsive. However that should kind of be expected. And the rent rates got lowered finally which I guess makes living here seem a little more fair. But between all these little issues I can't recommend living here, and I wish I didn't

I’ve lived at The View on 10th for over 2 years, but the current management (The Scion Group) clearly does not value loyal residents. I renewed early at $714, only to later see the same units offered to new tenants for $499. When I asked for a rate adjustment or credit, management refused and instead suggested I refer two new residents for a small discount. This feels unfair and discouraging for long-term tenants. In addition, living conditions have declined. The pool has been closed for a long time, and fire alarms go off frequently, often at night, disrupting sleep and raising safety concerns. As a senior at Baylor, I can no longer recommend this property. Current residents should think carefully before renewing early.

Pool has been broken for months with no fix and fire alarm will wake you up at 6am at least once a month and go off for an hour. Dirty hallways and very poor management. U Pointe is so much better and cleaner.

Maintenance team is super quick and efficient. Very sweet new management. Started hiring people to clean the lobby and have genuinely seen an improvement with this new team. The only reason I can’t give it full stars is because the carpet in the hallways are not the cleanest and think the dirt and grime that has accumulated over the years makes it a little smelly. While not in my room, it’s the first thing I come home to.
