Forestwood Apartments

Worst apartments in the Bryan/College Station area. The apartments constantly have issues cause they’re built as cheap as possible. There’s gaps around all the doors so the bugs that get into the walls just come right into your apartment. There’s issues all the time with amenities such as the oven or washing machines, and if you put in a work order expect it to be months. Also the main gate key pad’s # key hasn’t worked properly for over a year, so you have to type in your code multiple times if it works at all (majority of the time you have to drive around to the side gate). And if you ask them about it they say “Why don’t you use your fob?” Well they’ve “fixed” my fob twice and it only opens the wrong gate so I have to drive around the entire complex to get to my apartment. The pool isn’t bad unless you factor in the several weeks if not months out of the summer it’s under maintenance. If you talk to anyone in the main office the majority of the time they’re rude, only nice people working here are the maintenance guys.

This place has a severe wasp infestation that they will not deal with. Ever since I had wasps fly into my living room while trying to enjoy my balcony, I have been asking them to get a handle on the amount of wasps in the complex. I want to make it clear that I am no stranger to bugs or living in the south. I am an avid camper and outdoor enthusiast and have lived in central Texas my whole life. I know that a few wasps are inevitable in Texas. This issue goes far beyond just a few wasps. On my building alone, there are about 30 nests, at least 9 of which are new this season. Many of those old nests were active last year, so the fact that they are still here shows that they never dealt with them when they were active last year. From walking my dog around the complex every day, I know that all the buildings have nests on them. Assuming my building is a rough estimate of all the buildings in the complex (14 buildings in total), that would mean there are over 400 nests in the complex (pines + grove), with about a third of them being active so far this season. I cannot go one minute outside without seeing wasps. When I walk around the complex, it takes me about 15 minutes and I usually encounter at least 15 wasps. Even from my window, I constantly see them flying around (too many to count). I also think many of the bushes and/or trees may be infested. After the wasps flew into my apartment, I asked them to have routine maintenance of the wasp nests and they told me they don't have anyone that can do that. I have been emailing them about this since July last year (2025). They often don't respond until I've sent a follow-up email weeks to months later. They are now telling me that they have people looking daily for wasp nests and taking them down when they see them (both active and inactive nests). However, I have documented proof of nests that have been here since before last October (2025). In October, I emailed them a very detailed document of images of 26 of the nests on my building to show them the types of places the wasps like to nest on all the buildings. I emailed them a new document at the end of April 2026 showing that 21 of those 26 nests are still here, and there are 9 new ones (and this is just the start of wasp season). I have not done another exact count since, but from checking on them every time I walk outside, many of them are still here and it is now almost June 2026. And new ones keep popping up. The one nice thing is that if I ever put in a work order for one specific nest, it is usually handled quickly by the maintenance team. The issue is, there are so many nests, I do not have the time to be constantly putting in hundreds of work orders for all the wasp nests in the complex. Additionally, when I put in work orders, that means they are handled during the day, which probably means that there are wasps flying around outside the nest that don't get killed when the nest gets taken down, so they'll just find somewhere new to set up a nest. I am scared to go outside, not just for me, but also for my pets. There are far too many nests for this complex to be considered safe and habitable.

Review: 0/5 – Attempted to Tow a Disabled Veteran’s Truck Today I walked out to my truck, which was parked at the far end of the lot where no one ever parks. On any given day there are at least a dozen empty spots in that area because it’s so far from the buildings. I had my truck and trailer parked there for about two hours, taking up five spots, and returned to find a tow notice on my window stating my vehicle would be towed within the hour. That gave me less than three hours’ notice in total. They never even called to tell me, which wouldn’t be hard since I gave my license plate information to management to link to my lease. I immediately called management to ask why, especially since this is an apartment complex where trailers are commonly parked. Their response was that I must disconnect my trailer and park it separately. Management is already aware that I am a Disabled Veteran (now awaiting spinal surgery), and my vehicle has disabled plates. Yet they still insisted I needed to “fix it” if I didn’t want my truck towed — with no regard for my medical limitations. This isn’t the first time I’ve had issues here. Management is consistently rude, unhelpful, and only seems interested in collecting rent, not supporting residents. Repairs take weeks to even be acknowledged, gates are very frequently broken (the key pad has been messed up for months), dog poop all over cause residents don’t pick up, have had urine on my door (assuming from a dog), pool has been inaccessible for weeks, they sit on packages for weeks without notification, periodic infestations of ants on the first floor, the list goes on… I’m looking forward to moving out. I’ve seriously considered paying the $4,000 lease-break fee just to leave sooner.

If you are a light sleeper, save yourself the exhaustion and stay far away from this complex. The noise levels here are absolutely relentless, and you will hear just about everything you can think of: • Aviation Noise: The property is very close to the airport, meaning you will hear planes taking off constantly. • Trains & Traffic: There are trains blasting by during the day and the middle of the night, plus endless highway noise from motorcycles and loud cars. • Thin Walls & Bad Neighbors: To top it all off, I have an incredibly inconsiderate neighbor who yells at their video games from 10 PM to 3 AM, and the noise transfers right through. Beyond the noise, the management here simply does not care about their residents. This became blatantly obvious during a period in 2025 when USPS faced severe staffing shortages. USPS stopped delivering packages directly to our doors and refused to hold them for pickup, meaning oversized packages were automatically being returned to the sender. Instead of stepping up to help their residents during this chaotic time, the leasing office flat-out refused to accept packages at the front desk. When I spoke with management multiple times asking if they could temporarily hold packages so residents could actually get their packages , they completely brushed me off. Their only "solution" was to tell me to ship my packages somewhere else. Between the 24/7 noise and an office management that leaves you to fend for yourself, living here is a massive headache. Look elsewhere.

When I first moved in the washing machine did not work so I put a work order in immediately. It took them TWO MONTHS to finally swap it out! Forcing us to use a laundry mat for the first two months of our lease. Complained about the mold issue in the bathroom for months and nothing was done about it. Then when I threatened legal action if they did not do something, they acted as if it was the first they had heard about it. And then a month ago I had my truck towed from my covered parking spot overnight. Mind you, they charge extra for this. When I went to the office about the matter, they said “oh sorry we forgot to file the paperwork for your parking spot.” Their excuse for not addressing these issues continues to be short staffing in maintenance. However, it appears to be lack of competency in management. I went up the ladder to their corporate representative, and she was just as helpful and useful as their on-site staff. Do not let them fool you by showing you their model apartment.
