Hawthorne at Bay Forest

As a military brat who moves regularly, this is one of the best locations I’ve been in. Like many, I work in the area and like to avoid traffic. The neighborhood is very nice and peaceful. The community is nice for singles and families. The pool area is VERY nice. The cookout area all around it, the TV in the back, the gaming all around it are better than every other apartment I’ve ever lived in. The indoor gym is very nice, and going during the lunch break, it is easy to be alone for those who do supersets. The indoor golf simulator and other gaming machine is great… but one of the main benefits of the apartments is that it is just off of a golf course – The Bay Forest Golf Course - where you must live in La Porte to get a great discount on membership. Depending on the building you live in, you may even have a great view of some holes. The Management and Maintenance teams are very nice and helpful. Close to the water and great parks around. All around great location

Have been living here for over 2 years now. Maintenance is nothing short of amazing. Parking used to be an issue throughout the first year but has drastically gotten better with towing enforcement. Pool area has a great view. Any updates are well communicated in multiple ways when needed. Have always felt safe. Would highly recommend to anyone!

I had such a great experience with Amarissa! She was very kind and helpful during the entire tour! Would for sure recommend coming here for your new home!

The apartments are nice and the staff is always helpful. I enjoyed my time here.

Lived here for a year, felt great staying in a well managed complex compared to some of the apartments I lived in. Management is super friendly and helpful. Had a couple of issues with my keys and the sink but the maintenance team was able to fix it same or next day. Parking can be hard to find in the afternoons but didn't mind the small walks.

The staff members are friendly and always willing to help! Maintenance is always friendly, smiling, and in a good mood. I’ve called this place home for the past 2 and 1/2 years!

The office staff is amazing very professional and responsive! I’ve been here since 2022 and I’m happy to call this place my home.

Lived here for a few months now & I happy to call this place home. The amenities and kept up with very well

The anmenities are amazing! The dog spa is so convenient!

This complex does NOT have enough parking. If you arrive after 6:30-7pm, be prepared to have to park far from your apartment if you can even find a spot. Instead of actually addressing the problem by creating more parking, management is now requiring guest cars to be registered or towed. How incredibly frustrating and inconvenient. Also, the pool area is unsafe. The tiles around the pool are incredibly slippery. In the hour we were there to visit, three people fell. No one was running, either. The tiles are so slick! And one final note, corridors are overrun with spiders. My family member constantly gets spiders inside their apartment too. Pest control needs to be stepped up.

The flooring is leaking glue, one door won’t lock the other gets jammed, cockroaches from day 1 must be from the builders or material, the quality of the apt and lack of concern from the apt staff makes this place completely overpriced. You could live in the heights for this price. Apts remain unoccupied for a reason.

I moved into this property on 5-13-2022. Since moving in, my garbage disposal quit working and took two days for property management to get fixed; which kept me from doing dishes for two days because my sink would back up. I have had an absolutely atrocious pest problem, including ants, spiders, and cockroaches of all different sizes. I went to get into one of the closest the other day and door handle pulled right off the door. The walls are super thin and I can hear my neighbors on all sides banging around. This property is not worth what they're charging for, and while property management staff are friendly, I feel like they have a lackadaisical attitude towards handling resident complaints.

Cockroaches in building 17. Rodents due to trash left out by neighbors, spiders, management and staff turnover, maintenance issues since moved in Nov 2021 still not resolved, call the front office and they never answer. Close office before posted operating hours. Maintenance closes out work orders without resolving the issues. Ants and rotten meat found in community BBQ grill. Beer bottles and trash all around newly opened pool area that was left by staff members. For this place to be less than a year old it is disgusting. Front door and patio door leaks water during rainstorms. Toilet runs and maintenance just wiggles handle and leaves and closes out ALL open work orders and does not speak enough English to communicate. Front office staff are rude, have to tell them over and over to get a pen and paper and write stuff down and they never follow up. The place and staff are trashy. Would rate a zero if possible.

I recently visited this property as I am relocating from Austin and is by far one of the nicest communities I have seen. So many beautiful amenities and even better is the staff. The manager Dominic assisted me with my tour and information and he was very informative. I do believe this will be my new home!
