Es lo peor en apartamentos mal mantenimiento llevamos un mes sin aire acondicionado
October 25, 2024Since we moved in, they gave us the apartment incomplete with damages. They don't come to repair it. The maintenance people give us long and long waits but don't do anything. We've had problems with the dishwasher for 4 months. The waste disposer in the dishwasher doesn't work and gives off a bad smell. The maintenance people don't do anything. We've also been without air conditioning for a month. They just come to look and leave. They say they don't have the spare parts and so on and they never ...come. We're tired of this situation. We want to move but because of the contract we can't. It's the worst decision I made when coming to live here.Property Manager Responded

Bedbugs
January 31, 2020This apartment was horrible. I had roaches, I had bedbugs. Worst neighbors possible loud parties being thrown. Drunk dudes on my front porch. Management is a joke. You name apartment horror stories they got them.Property Manager Responded

Don’t do it.
April 4, 2019There are murders, break ins, car theft, and roaches. Nobody cleans after their dog. I moved here sight unseen from California and it’s the worst decision. I pay rent online so don’t have much interaction with leasing agents. There is so much crime. There’s a huge homeless population right outside of that gates that don’t work. They walk thru the apts all night doing drugs. Crime scene tape everywhere. It’s frustrating. Just don’t move anywhere near the steets Rundberg, Northgate, Colony Creek. ...The apts look nothing like the pics.Property Manager Responded
November 22, 2019We apologize that you do not feel like you live in a safe neighborhood. We strongly recommend to contact the police with any illegal activity so they can respond to these concerns.

HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!!
January 4, 2019The management is just HORRIBLE. They don’t do much. Trust me, I’ve experienced it first hand. It’s been more than 4 months since I’ve moved out and still haven’t recieved my deposit back. The assistant manager and even the manager himself, Brian, haven’t been able to help me out at all. And let me tell you, if the management is subpar, the apartment complex will be as well. And it is. It’s hard to find parking, the gates don’t work, it’s noisy, and reeks of weed. I even caught one the management ...people vaping in the leasing office. Anyways, if you do decide to live here, best of luck! You’ll need it.Property Manager Responded

Close to Everything North and still Central
August 28, 2018This complex is large- which means the rent is on an even keel in comparison. Also it's right off of the north hub of the three freeway system arteries in Austin. AND covered parking for all! No extra. Maintenance is hella-prompt too.Review from Apartments.com
Keep on looking! Don't move here
August 25, 2018I lived here for 3 years and they have gone through several managers. Seems like every few months someone else is in charge and new people in the office. Most frustrating part is they will promise you lots of things to your face just to get you to leave and then when you follow up they say that conversation never happened. They refuse to respond to emails or texts because they know they will have to keep their word.Review from Apartments.com
Security related repairs take ages
February 10, 2018Had an issue with our door not locking. it took the 9 (yes, NINE) days to repair, and I have the paperwork to prove it. Completely lied to me about the repair. Was told maintenance were at Home Depot getting the parts on 2 separate days. Tried to tell me I must have attempted to break into my own apartment. Wanted a police report to get repair done (completely unnecessary). Finally, all they did was to drill the lock hole a little bigger. Let's not mention the roaches, the changes in management ...company (and you can tell it went to the lowest bidder due to the complete apathy), and the lies about availability to do a walk through If you are considering this, there are much better options. Why do you think they are cheap?Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
LOVE IT HERE !!
January 17, 2018I have read the reviews on this site and let me just say that I like my home regardless. I have been here since 2014 and will be renewing my lease whenever its up. I enjoy the area where I live its usually pretty quiet and i get a long with my neighbors. Of course there will always be someone or something that makes noise in our area; but I report it to the office and they immediately solve the problem. The office staff has not changed WHICH is awesome they are always friendly and attentive. The ...maintenance is great they have fixed everything I have reported to the office. There was one time that they did not have the part to fix my problem that same day; but they were honest and communicated with me they let me know it would be 1-2 days it just depended on how fast the part would come in. So it was no big deal. Sure enough after the second day I came home and my problem had been fixed. I didnt even have to call back to check up . I like the convinience of everything around here the domain is less than a mile away Parking; I never have problems I always find a spot neas. I have washer and dryer in my home so I dont have to worry about the laundry rooms The pools I do love they are alwys clean and if one is to crowded i go to the second one. The managers are really nice and have always been very friendly with us. I guess what im getting at is that I recommend this place for your home please look around for your self dont listen to the negative comments posted on this site or any other Because there is always two sides to a storyRead MoreReview from Apartments.com
WORST Apartment Complex EVER
December 4, 2017Been living here for a few months already and I'd just like to say that first of all, THE STAFF IS HORRIBLE. Try calling the leasing office and they take forever to pick up. Go into the leasing office, and the staff is usually chatting and taking their sweet time answering people's questions. They're so LAZY. Not to mention, some of them are downright RUDE. Parking also SUCKS - you'll see cars parked outside the complex against the sidewalk because it's hard finding a parking spot, even with a ...permit. Then the neighborhood is AWFUL as well. Very LOUD, and there seems to be some SKETCHY people walking around. Oh right. There's a fence to keep them out and a gate. WRONG. First of all, the gate doesn't WORK so ANYONE can come and go. Also, the fence usually has boards missing. Once saw some creepy guy on the other side of the fence watching me. Let's just say, you won't feel welcomed here and safe. Do yourself a favor and find someplace else. I know once my contract ends, I'm gone.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
HORRIBLE PLACE
October 1, 2017The day I was moving in they told me that the apartment wasn’t ready n they force me to sign a new lease for more money, which they had done to different people according to google reviews . They never show you the place before u moved in so I got there and the rug was extremely dirty, the food dispenser is broken and give out a rotten smell and even the front door knob is falling apart. I try many different time and in many different ways to get them to fix since February 2017 that I moved in ...to no luck they just refuse to do it. They told me that the water was going to be a fix amount but my bill has being going up and up every month, finally it’s October and my rent is extremely high so I can’t take it any more and went to the office to ask about it and the person in the office told me to get out of the office n that she would call the police on me because I was disturbing the peace, all I was doing was talking to my aunt about what was happening. I told the lady that I would not talk if it was bothering her but I had the right to be there she told me to leave again and call the police, mind you she never ask me to be quite before kicking me out of the office and calling the police. I waited for the police and all they did was provide me with code enforcement phone number and the phone number of a department like the better business bureau but especially for tenants that have problems with buildings that refuse to do their part to fix things. Which I could give them way less than 1 star.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Pleasant Place to Live
June 14, 2017I have been here for about 2 months and so far the staff and maintenance have been great! The pool is open and I have yet to see any vermin or roaches. Not sure if they are own by someone new or not from the past reviews. Some outlets in my kitchen stopped working after a month and the Maintenance people came in a timely manner to fix it - I did tell them it was NOT an emergency and they still got the job done. The dog park is perfect my Dog - This place really is awesome for how low rent is. The ...only bad thing I really have to say is I was told my apt would be all hard wood floors. The Kitchen / Entryway / Bathroom are hard wood but everything else is carpet. Which I can learn to live with. So far a good experience.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
