The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Bay Colony
I have been here for few months now and I can say this is by far the best community I have lived in . The staff is just absolutely amazing and they make you feel like family . I love it here. Im glad I found this place .
Bay Colony is far from meeting basic living standards. Residents are dealing with issues like rats, roaches, and mold in their apartments. Fire extinguishers, which should be a standard safety feature, are not being provided. This place is a ticking time bomb for accidents or serious injuries. Power and water outages are common, and the front office staff seem unmotivated, often taking longer lunch breaks than allowed. They rarely answer calls, and maintenance requests are frequently ignored. The windows lack proper insulation, leading to a mass exodus of tenants who can't stand the poor conditions. With rent ranging from $873 to $1200, you can definitely find better options elsewhere. Don't be misled by the photos they post; nothing has been updated since the 80s.
Great! I have had no complications & when something needs to be fixed or done it’s done quickly. As far as the move in process they have made everything smooth & simple. They also had no problem answering the million one questions I have had with no issues.
I’m almost 2 years in this beautiful community. The neighbors are nice and friendly. I do see me living here for more time. The management and staff are always there for you and they never mind to help you when needed. I’m so grateful that I found this community.
I’ve been here for almost 9 years. The staff is wonderful and maintenance, when needed, is never difficult to get. The surrounding area is far enough away from downtown, not to be worrisome
The apartments are O.K. to us at best. My husband and I moved in and instantly we found issues with bugs and of course; neighbors. The apartment complex doesn't do much to try and handle the noise complaints we put in and it got very frustrating. There is also a lot of trash everywhere and people let their dogs poop everywhere and no one does anything about it. No cameras either. Overall, we won't be renewing our lease.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your concerns, we appreciate all feedback. We would be more than happy to have pest control spray for any bug issues that you might be having. Pest Control comes to the property every Wednesday to handle any and all issues, please call the office and we will be happy to put in a work order for treatment. I am sorry to hear about the issues with your neighbors and noise complaints. We do our very best to handle any and all complaints made when they are brought to our attention. Killeen Police Department does handle all after hours noise complaints on their non-emergency line. Your frustration with dogs defecating is shared and felt by all due from the non-responsible pet owners and people throwing their trash about. I do assure you, our staff walks the property twice a day picking up trash and we pick up pet waste as often as possible. Thank you again for your time and feedback, if you would like to discuss anything positive or negative in the future, my door is always open. Tammy W.

My husband and I moved in earlier this year with great hopes for Bay Colony. Slowly, I've noticed things that really bother me. First of all, they have an issue with roaches. The frustrating thing is, there is actually a pest fee tacked on to your monthly rent payment. It's only a couple of dollars, but money is money. I wouldn't even mind paying a few more bucks if I could be sure our home would be pest free. Second, we've called maintenance three times since we moved here. Two out of three of those times, our issues were taken care of in a timely manner. However, the second time we called no one ever showed up. I was told someone would be out within a week, but I guess because it wasn't an emergency, they swept it under the rug hoping we'd forget. We are paying customers, and someone should've responded to our needs, no matter how small the issue. Third, my biggest issue with them thus far, was an incident when I tried to pay my rent online. I usually brought in a money order, (NEVER being late) but that gets old pretty quickly. So I decided to take advantage of their online system. They charged me a $15 service fee for that. Then, I received a text from them letting me know I was late on my rent. When I checked online, there was no proof I had paid at all. If I hadn't noticed that they had my credit card information on file, I would've thought that I had forgotten to pay or I had made a mistake. I knew that I had paid, but couldn't prove it. When I called the front desk, the girl was sympathetic with me, but I was still required to pay the late charges ($60). I understand that I was late on my rent, and it's stated in my lease that there is a late fee, however, I was only late due to their online system and I feel that after our loyal services and never being late before, this should've been waved. However, I'm almost positive that management sincerely does not take their tenants opinions to heart. If this many people are complaining about key issues, you need to start working on them or continue to have a questionable reputation. There are a few pros, I'll admit. The staff is friendly, and I do feel that they try their best. (I can't say the same for management). The people living here are quiet and friendly. The dog parks, though small, are a plus. All I can say is, this isn't a long-term option for us.

From day one I loved this apartment complex. There has been one moment when I thought I didn't like the place but I can't really say anything bad about it. I love this place. It's quiet and no one bothers anyone... Great place.
