Roaches
May 18, 2024Looks can be deceiving. These apartments appear breathtaking, but the reality is far from it. As a tenant, you are charged monthly for pest control, yet you must call for service to have your unit treated. In contrast, every place I have lived prior, the management took responsibility for pest control and treated every unit, which was included in the rent. Here, there is a severe roach infestation. It's horrible and no matter what you do, roaches will still be present. I'm convinced the entire ...complex is infested as I have spoken to various neighbors in different units who share the same problem.Property Manager Responded
May 20, 2024Hi, it's upsetting to hear that your experience was anything but stellar. We take pride in our property and want to make sure your pest control concerns are addressed immediately. Please contact our Property Manager at (469) 369-0724 when you have an opportunity so that we may discuss this further.

Stay Away - they'll rip you off
May 9, 2023I''m only writing this because I saw some of the recent reviews are 5-star. But this is far from the truth and I believe they're fake reviews. The owners will find any means to charge you extra on every little thing. They'll use the lease agreement - which is vague - to suck every penny out of you. Thank me later or "I told you so".Property Manager Responded
May 15, 2023We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a more positive experience with us at Sweetwater at Buckingham. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we can improve. We hope you will consider us again in the future. Take care.

Sweetwater my place I call home
September 29, 2020I lived at this community for many years. The staff is incredible. Ali the assistant and Chandra the manager have been the familiar faces I have seen for years. I wish I didn't have to leave. If you are looking for a quiet affordable place to call home, this is it.Property Manager Responded

Amazing Visit
August 27, 2020My self guided tour for my daughter was great today. Cassandra the manager explained all the details for me. Pricing was higher than the others on this street but when you drive in it explains why. The two bedroom that I saw was very nice and clean. The feature that really caught me attentions was the pond located in the center of the apartments. I will bring my daughter and wife this weekend. If I had to say something bad it would be the tight limited parking, but overall I am happy with this ...apartments.Property Manager Responded

Best Apartment
August 21, 2020I looked really hard to find an affordable apartment that is safe and pest free. I brought these concerns up with Veronica and she not only arranged for a viewing before I applied she has been the sweetest, most attentive, and responsive landlord I have ever rented from.I can't say enough about how great she has been. She makes me feel like she really cares about our community she is a delight to deal with everytime. The apartments are clean and beautiful. The neighborhood is friendly but quiet. ...I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sweetwater at Buckingham!Property Manager Responded

Save Yourself
February 11, 2020Save yourself the trouble, do not move here! SO MANY BUGS! I have lived all over Dallas, never dealt with bugs like this. My first night moving in I woke up to roaches everywhere. I asked the office to come spray, they asked if I was sure I saw roaches because they didn’t see any in the showing.. there is clearly an issue with bugs in the complex. People leave their trash out all around the trash can, even when it’s empty and open. Loud music at night, thin walls you can hear everything. The ...gates never worked the entire time I lived here. They are supposedly second chance apartments, if you get behind, even just a week they will not work with you and start the eviction process at 10 days late. I wish I never moved into these raggedy apartments. Don’t let the pictures fool you, everything is a bandaid job to cover up how ratchet they really look. I had cracks in my ceilings and windows. This is worse than low income apartments and they cost way too much.Property Manager Responded
February 13, 2020Hello there, thank you; we appreciate your feedback! Please reach out to the leasing office as we would like to discuss the issues that you have encountered.

Review from Apartments.com
Horrible management
July 18, 2018This place was fine until we had an incident on property that required management (Candra & Ali) to "get involved". I say that lightly because they did absolutely NOTHING to resolve the issue. They lied for a month saying they were handling it and when I continued to pursue the issue, they became very rude and flat out refused to rectify the situation. Cheri is the ONLY one here that does anything. She's great with the tenants and follows up appropriately. The other two just sit in their offices ...and avoid interacting with tenants as much as possible. I'm guessing that's because they have NO customer service skills. I haven't had any maintenance needs in a while, but in the past, they have taken 2 weeks to respond. The property constantly has trash strewn all over from tenants who don't properly dispose of their trash. All in all, I hate living here and can't wait until my lease is up!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
DO NOT MOVE HERE!
March 28, 2018If I could give zero stars, I would. Great place to live if nothing ever goes wrong or you never need anything fixed....but god help you if it do. Customer Service does not exist within this property...honestly not even sure how they even rent these apartments considering no one is EVER working. It may take a dozen phone calls or emails, not to mention trips to the office to get anyone who actually works in the office to assist you at all. Management literally doesn't exist and the corporate ...office is ALWAYS closed too. Good luck if you choose to live here because all you will ever be told is it's your problem not theirs.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
