    We had the misfortune to live here for 1 year, my husbands truck was broken into and later stolen and my car was broken into. after moving out they charged us for sheetrock damage that we know nothing about. i asked for pictures of the damage and they never provided them. i am now having to pay for the damage i didnt do because they have turned me into collections. do your self a favor and DO NOT RENT HERE!!! They are gross

      It's disappointing to hear you didn't have a great experience. Even though we have limited access, nightly foot patrol, and an on-site courtesy officer, no one can guarantee crime and/or safety. We send notices out when we are aware of increased crime in the area. There are some make and models of trucks that are more popular than others for these alleged incidents. We were not aware that there was an incident with your car. As for the sheetrock damage, we sent you the pictures and invoices earlier last week. Did you email us or call us for those items? Our Greystar receivables department is not a collection agency. They are an in house receivables department that processes move out balances. If you are having issues with Greystar receivables, please email metropolemgr@greystar.com in which we will do our best to assist you.

  • Moved out Aug 1

    August 16, 2023
    I lived here for 1 year now that I have moved out yesterday it’s time to be honest here for all the people who are touring and writing reviews trust me I understand I too was in awe but living here after the first 3 months Reality hits and let me just say ….. this was THE WORST place ever like talk about catfish on the photos. They say it’s luxury but if you call A- water being shut off every other week B-walking basically a half a mile to the parking garage with no parking. C- Being TOWED and ...
    having stickers placed on your car for staying in a spot 15 minutes over the allowed time. D- Having people ENTER your home when your not there and catching them make slick comments on your ring camera E-walking the side walk and seeing and smelling dog poop everywhere. Oh did I mention there is no where to walk your dog other than by a VERY busy street. So people honestly let their dogs go to the bathroom anywhere including hallways. I lived here for a full year and I have yet to see them shampoo carpets F-Spending MONTHS without a working elevator. Having pipes burst and floors flooded and having construction work being done for basically since I moved in. It’s still going on dont worry. G-Having the staff talk down to and over you. Oh and the roaches… in the hall. Cats and critters in garage Paying top dollar for honestly a mid living situation it’s just bad y’all. I have nothing against homeless people but how did someone get in our building they are around the building because we are near bus stops but living alone as a woman I did not feel safe. I Honestly I could go on and on and on but let’s just say I wish I could give it a 0 out of 10 it was so bad and make sure you take pictures of ANYTHING you sign and everything they some how lost the inventory sheet I filled out so… just be mindful. Just pure trash and not worth the money

  • DO NOT RENT HERE!

    August 23, 2022
    If you're looking for a location that feels like a hotel, then this is your place. Nothing like seeing homeless people all over the building and them telling you that everyone knows the building is not secure. Seeing people sleeping on the floor outside your door or ringing your doorbell and trying to enter your apartment. This was once a very beautiful building. Tons of airbnb's, so plenty of strangers and trash left everywhere. They aren't doing anything about them or the roaches. Too ...
    much rent, for a good area, but gives you the feels of low income housing. Oh and the building was shot up twice while I was there. SMH.

    DO NOT MOVE HERE RUN AWAY FAST FROM METROPOLE AND GREYSTAR I seriously cannot believe the blatant disregard for the residents at this apartment complex. CRIME IS INSANE! Here is a list of what has happened to me in the last 8 months: Bike Stolen Catalytic Converters Stolen Car Broken into Girlfriend followed into and around the garage and more. On top of that, other people have had the same issues along with wheels getting stolen and entire vehicles. The apartments appear to be nice at first ...
    glance but have MAJOR issues. Pest problems Everything is constantly broken ZERO Security Switching staff constantly with zero notice Outdated appliances that will cost you more money Trash EVERYWHERE Horrible build quality I could go on and on I have contacted management multiple times attempting to get something done but they don't care. How do i know they don't care? Because they told me that a security guard would be ineffective. That's very interesting because other greystar properties have security guards. They lie, lie, lie straight to your face. They had the nerve to tell me that I would be holding them responsible for the crime if i wanted to end my lease early. Well, when you do NOTHING to curve the crime on YOUR property that WE PAY YOU to live in, you might as well be smashing out my windows. I will be going to the news, I think they will like this one. I will never ever ever live at a Greystar property after this. I have had anxiety and elevated stress living at this basket case of an apartment.

  • My One Bedroom Is Huge And Centrally Located

    September 8, 2021
    I was living next door at 36Sixty for a year. I decided to come check nextdoor here at Metropole when my lease was up. I scored an awesome deal on a HUGE one bedroom. Elisa was so helpful in helping me find the perfect unit with all the space I needed. I've been here for a month and love my apartment and the fact that we have food trucks weekly and I'm minutes away from work.

  • Best staff, awesome 1 bed in High-rise

    August 26, 2021
    If you love views, look into staying in the high-rise. I love how big my patio balcony is! I toured with Trilby, she is so informative and has been so helpful with my move out of state. The maintenance team quickly answers my work requests and gets the job done in a timely manner. I love my home.

  • Great views and amenities!

    August 26, 2021
    I am loving my new home! I moved into Metropole in early August and the whole experience was excellent! Everyone in the leasing office (special thanks to Trilby and Elisa!) made the whole process seamless from beginning to end! The pool and amenities are awesome and I love the weekly food trucks! Keep up the great work, Metropole!

  • This is home

    June 21, 2021
    6 months into my lease and this is home. My twobedroom has a great view and it's more than enough space for my roommate and I. Parking on lower levels is a challenge but there are like 6 levels (I think) with building access. The maintenance guys are great and the staff has always been helpful. The pool on the weekends has become a social spot where I met many neighbors. I am happy here.

  • Look Elsewhere

    June 4, 2021
    I recently moved out after living at Metropole for 3.5 years and had experienced 3 different changes in management. When I first moved in here, it was a highly sought after apartment community that rarely had availability. Over time, amenities were cut and staff turnover was frequent. Overall, grounds are not well maintained and have only gotten worse since Roscoe took over management. Hallways look trashy, half the lights are out, and it smells like weed. Feral cats live in the garage and climb ...
    all over your car. Parking lot level 3 and half of level 4 and 5 have spaces that are painted too small that a compact car won’t fit in, so if you aren’t home early on weekdays to grab a lower level spot, you’re parking on the top floor meant for visitors - or trying to squeeze between vehicles and hope someone doesn't back into your car. Trash rules are constantly violated and management does nothing about it. Front doors of the high rise do not remain locked outside of business hours; the door is always cracked, so the security access is not in place. Elevators are down often. Poor communication - management is a nightmare to deal with and does not respond to calls or emails in a timely fashion. During quarantine when most, if not all, residents were working from home, they shut off the water to the community for 3 days without notice. You could not shower, brush your teeth, wash dishes, or use the toilet for 3 days. The office only gave every resident 6 small bottles of water to get by after 2 days of no water. Amenities were removed in 2020 due to COVID but they still made residents pay the monthly amenity fees. As of early 2021, only a few of the amenities had reopened and were only open for limited time slots during the day when most people are working. When it was time for my last renewal, they offered me a 10% increase in rent when new leases (on higher, more premium floors) were being advertised below my current rate, plus offering specials that included 6 weeks free. As a long-time resident, I was discouraged Roscoe would do this (my last renewal was with a different management team). After several weeks of me having to follow up and being lied to about this process, they finally agreed to honor my current rate. However, by this point, I had already decided to move out. Unless Roscoe is bought out by another leasing company, I would suggest looking elsewhere for an apartment.

  • Things have improved

    May 26, 2021
    I'm surprised to see the negative reviews. Things have always been good now they are great! The people in the office are slightly new and have made many changes. I decided to renew my lease and stay another year.

  • Great Balcony Views

    May 26, 2021
    I enjoyed living at Metropole for the past 2 years. The staff made me feel at home through my entire time there. Also, the location was great since I could walk to work to the Greenway Plaza. I recently bought a home and had to move. The assistant manager, Ricky, helped me through the entire move out process. I would recommend anyone I know that wants a great apartment with an great view to Metropole.

  • Happy New Resident

    May 25, 2021
    I toured about three weeks ago with Elisa. Being new to the state and the city and needing an immediate move-in for a new job position it was all overwhelming. My tour of the community was nice. She sold me on the community and it's a location in relation to all things Houston. I am moved in, and I love my apartment it's huge for a one-bedroom.
