DO NOT MOVE IN HERE
November 6, 2017WORST PLACE TO LIVE IN!!! I'm warning you! There's RATS! This place is infested with rats and roaches! ? there's no security what so ever... Way overpriced for the quality of the apts. oh and there's trash EVERYWHERE!Property Manager Responded
July 5, 2019We have weekly pest control services and a part time courtesy officer on a rotating schedule. Our service team spends time every morning picking up the grounds and we've placed rubbish containers throughout the property for the convenience of our residents. We're sorry that this reviewer had a bad experience. Las Velas at Hillcroft was a finalist for the Houston Apartment Association Property of the Year in 2019. Our property manager won Manager of the Year. We think you'll find that this review does not accurately reflect our property in 2019.
Review from Apartments.com
Terrible everything
May 23, 2017Management is rude and tries to scam you out of money especially if there's a language barrier. It's very unsafe there are always gun shots in and around the complex. The "security guard" is either never there or sleeping in his car. Broken utilities were a mainstay and getting them fixed was a chore. I do not recommend anyone stay here.Property Manager Responded
July 5, 2019Our staff is bilingual English/Spanish and always has been so we can cater to all residents. We do not feel this review accurately represents Las Velas at Hillcroft, but are sorry you seem to have had a bad experience. Las Velas at Hillcroft was a finalist in 2019 for the Houston Apartment Association Property of the Year and we are very proud of our manager for winning Manager of the Year. Of course, she had a great team around her to be able to accomplish this high professional honor. We'd be honored if you gave Las Velas at Hillcroft a look. Stop by anytime and check us out!

Major renovation.
April 14, 2017This apartment has improved dramatically over the last year or two. New management has upgraded both exterior and interiors. Add that to the great location and amenities, and Las Velas has become the best apartment in the area. Found the staff very friendly and professional as well.Property Manager Responded
May 5, 2017Thanks so much for the great review and noticing all the work we've completed! We work hard to provide the best service and best value in our area.

Turn-Around From Former Poor Management
March 14, 2017I've been watching this place improve for over a year. Immediately noticed landscaping upgrades and stopped in a few weeks ago and the exterior is really looking good under the new management. I have been transferred out of town since then, but I would consider another look here if I return to Houston.Review from Apartments.com
Best Apartment in the Area
November 1, 2016I used to drive by this place all the time and never thought to live here, due to the condition. I noticed a major improvement earlier this year and decided to check it out. Apparently they changed owners and management. When touring the model, I was amazed. It looked like a brand new apartment (new appliances, wood floors, new ac). I moved in in July and I am loving it! I can't wait to use the new pool in the spring.Review from Apartments.com
Excellent
July 12, 2016My husband and I absolutely love Las Velas amenities and location. The property is very quiet and the upkeep of the property grounds is immaculate. The maintenance staff are prompt and see to your needs quickly. Outstanding Customer Service! I can highly recommend everyone I personally was help by Rosie and she was great she help me she was very patient very professional she was just incredible! Excellent experience!:)Review from Apartments.com
Las Vela's at Hillcroft or Candlewick
September 25, 2015Very unprofessional! I have mold in my shower, dishwasher and closet! They are slow on fixing anythingReview from Apartments.com
Candlewick Apts
July 20, 2015I have been living at the Candlewick Apts for almost a year now its a second chance apartment complex for people with borken leases,and some eviction. That's one of my reasons for staying their and it was the cheapest thing i can fine as a single mom trying to make do with what i have. Maintenance is ok its not many of them but they get the job done for the most part.Review from Apartments.com
