I have lived at Brixworth for coming up on five months now. If you're considering - don't. No one ever in main office, maintenance slower than Christmas, decrepit water heaters, A/C units, and kitchen appliances, and will leave your house a wreck indefinitely should maintenance ever actually get around to you.

To start, my appliances work so inefficiently (broken water heater, ancient A/C unit) that MY ELECTRICITY BILLS HAVE BEEN OVER $500 PER MONTH FOR A 1 BED 1 BATH since I moved in here. I... can hardly imagine the problem magically appeared when I moved in, so I'm sure they just didn't bother to fix it when the last tenant escaped.
I've also experienced their outright negligence in handling repairs on my unit. Currently my broken washer/dryer is in my kitchen blocking access to my pantry (no replacement W/D either), and has been for a week with no contact from property management despite me reaching out on multiple occasions. No need to wash clothes or eat in your own apartment, am I right?
There are giant holes in my walls throughout my kitchen, bathroom, and closet due to unfinished maintenance on pipes to do with broken water heater. I wonder when rats and roaches will start to infest my house, since I have yet to see pest control here in 5 months (for which I pay a monthly fee, go figure) and it's beginning to get cold outside.
Also, my old moldy water heater has been sitting outside my living room window for a week, and my neighbor has had a nasty old toilet in front of theirs for over a month at least. It's bizarre and disgusting. Wouldn't recommend this place to anybody, unless you really like filth.

Hoping this review will help others and might get me a response from management about my construction-zone apartment. Read More

I don’t mean mice I mean huge RATS! We just moved out and caught 4 look at google review you can see how big they are. The office has no idea what they are doing if they are ever in the office if you go by and they are open with someone in the office your lucky. Do NOT MOVE HERE

This has to be the absolute worst apartment building in Alabama. We lived there six months and that was too long. This place should pay people to stay here instead us paying them. From Roaches, gopher rats this place should be closed down ! No response from office and they lied saying I would not allow them to come into apartment for pest or maintenance I even took two days off waiting for maintenance and pest control . Never rent from these people the smell of cigarettes and marijuana was... sickening Read More

Love this community! It is right next to Bridgestreet outdoor shopping mall. I highly recommend leasing a unit with a sun room, especially if you are a plant lover like me!

I have lived in 5 different complexes in Huntsville, and I can easily say Brixworth is the absolute worst.

Buildings are falling apart (literally). LARGE holes in my roof/ceiling (not fixed for ~ a month), giant leaks in living room and bedroom, completely rotted front of building, mold in attic due to all the leaks and water damage, creaky uneven floors. Property manager tends to hire bad (most likely cheap) contractors who don’t fix the problem the first time, and then have to come back and... redo their work. Both my roommate and I became sick from mold in our attic. Property manager denied the mold until I sent pictures as proof. She then tried to tell us that mold is not green…I could not believe what I was hearing.

Apartment was filthy when we moved in. There were pennies and bobbypins in toilets. Walls are paperthin, so it sounds like people are having conversations inside your apartment from outside. I hear babies crying, shouting matches, puking, dogs barking as clear as day in my apartment, and we are on the 2nd floor.

GIANT roach infestation
These roaches are large, fast, and not afraid of you. I remember talking to my roommate about all of the roaches and at that moment one crawled down onto the carpet from her foot. You cannot make this stuff up.

The air would continuously run and would never get below 78 on sunny days. It is part due to terrible design of air units, located in closet of one of the bedrooms. Expect it to drip on your stuff. Eventually our AC caught fire. I came home to my apartment filled with smoke and smelling of burnt electrical wires.

Water is shut off often (whole complex is on one water line, so one leak requires shutting off everyone’s water) Due to the poorly insulated walls/windows and old nature of buildings, expect to pay over $150 in summer for electric, water over $60 to $70.

Giant fly (horsefly sized) infestation
Flies were giant and would fly directly at you. Couldn’t sleep in apartment since there were many in my bedroom. Apparently they are born from decomposing corpses implying something died in the walls.

The last three maintenance requests I submitted were marked as completed when they had not been. Front gate doesn’t work.

For your own health and safety, DO NOT GET AN APARTMENT HERE. Unless these buildings are torn down and rebuilt, or some actual time and money is put into fixing them properly, there is really no hope for this complex. I hope this review helps someone avoid a bad situation. Read More
