The Franciscan at Bear Creek

I have been a resident for 3 months now and these are my thoughts through that time. I hope this helps anyone browsing for apartments. I will try to be thorough!

First, I specifically chose this community because I was looking for a smaller and quieter community. The Franciscan is in an area packed with different complexes and I visited most of them. I do not regret my choice. The community is quiet and I haven't experienced a noise issue of any sort.
Second, the leasing staff is always responsive. I can call or send emails and they will always get back to me quickly if not immediately. I tend to ask a lot of questions, so having a responsive staff is particularly important for me. Thanks Shelby and Angie for all your help.
Third, the apartment perks, such as parcel lockers and valet trash, can be seen as an unnecessary cost for some (and that's okay) but I personally love that these services are available. The lockers, especially. Rarely, the postal workers won't use them but they usually do. Knowing my packages are secure is a small but important comfort.
Fourth, parking can be an issue for guests and residents if they arrive later in the night. I purchased a covered spot specifically for this reason. There are generally spots available, it's just a matter of walking distance. If you plan to be a resident, I would recommend purchasing a spot or a garage. Just my personal opinion!
The only "con" to living here the first 3 months is the extensive construction work being done on Ash Lane. This affects all apartments on this stretch of road and is obviously outside the control of any of the complexes. It can be a pain but it will hopefully be done within a month or two. This point can probably be considered irrelevant if you're reading this well after March 2020.

Overall, I would recommend the Franciscan. It's still 9 months until the end of my lease but if I had to choose now, I would renew without hesitation.

I have enjoyed my time here. Angie at the office always answers the phone and she is super nice and prompt. Ashley the property manager is also very nice . They’ve made me feel right at home since day one. I don’t see my self moving any time soon.

On a side note: their maintenance crew deserves more praise. They’re very quick when responding to service request and are willing to help. One time our fridge stopped working and at 11:30 pm at night they replaced it with a working one. I’m super pleased with everyone here

I'm on my third lease with the Franciscan.the office staff have always addressed any issues in a prompt and professional manner. Angie in the leasing office is awesome at making sure that we are satisfied with our community. Great job guys keep up the good work

I have lived in apartments most of my adult life and I have never had more of a positive experience than the one I had when I moved into the Franciscan at Bear Creek. All of the staff are friendly, personable, and they remember you! They make the area feel more like a community instead of an apartment complex. I have lived here for a month and so far it has been very pleasant! Angie, the Assistant Manager is amazing and super accommodating. I look forward to the rest of my time here!

The staff in the office are very kind and helpful especially Shabby and Angela they have been really nice . The maintenance team responds quickly to any service call . Indeed a home !!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
