I'm a junior SCAD student, and during the global pandemic (COVID 19), international SCAD students were forced to leave Savannah due to the university's closing. My roommates and I had renewed the lease contract driven by a series of promises, Blake's management made us if we renew the contract before the expiration date. Being international students, without close family in Savannah, we wanted to ensure our stay in the place, so we renewed it earlier than stipulated. When the university and the state send the notification to international students that the classes were to be offered remotely and the physical facilities of the campus were to remain closed, we requested the administration of Blake in June 2020, the cancellation of the 2021 contract because we had to return to our countries. The Blake administration responded that they knew what was happening but did not offer us a viable way out to cancel the contract or any kind of help that would offer us relief to return to our countries with peace of mind. Right now, we are in our countries and paying rent for a place we are not living in, and we cannot return due to the restrictions imposed in our countries due to the pandemic crisis.

I do not recommend the place for the administration's horrible treatment and how they trick students. First, they are flexible and open to helping their tenants, but when it comes down to it, they are interested only in money. I do not recommend this place, terrible service for the super high price one has to pay monthly.

Have yet to find a better place to live in Savannah! SCAD is just a short walk away and the apartments here are top notch! Everyone at the front is awesome and always helpful with any questions I have!

The Blake is downtown, within my budget, and pet friendly. The Blake's staff and maintenance always goes above and beyond. I love living here. I have my own private bathroom so I don't have to share with my roommates. Plus the apartment is fully furnished and they have pillow top mattresses. The amenities are also great with a 24 hour gym and a grilling deck.
