  • Good

    February 20, 2023
    For the most part, I love living here. It is an older apartment building, but because of that, the rent is a lot lower then other complexes in the area. The staff is great and maintenance is fairly quick with request. My biggest complaint is the new bar that just opened up across the street. It has made parking a nightmare and has heavily increased the traffic around the building. Other than that, I have had a great experience.

  • Crime, crime, crime!!!

    July 4, 2022
    Where do I begin? There is at least 1-2 felony thefts at this property a week. Check the HPD Crime reports for the address of the garage and its all there, public record. My car has been theft and there has been at least 6 vehicles that I have personally seen sitting on blocks (tires stolen) and windows smashed. I know a brand new $80k truck just went missing one morning, I spoke to the owner about it. I can only imagine how many more vehicles are hit and I just haven't heard about. There is ...
    zero security presence. I recommend living somewhere with an actual patrolling GUARD. Avoid this place unfortunately. Its a nice apartment if it wasn't for the crime. Again, find a place with a actual GUARD. Everyone is nice here, but they won't front the bill for an actual guard.

  • beware of misleading headlines

    May 17, 2020
    I fell for it. They request their tenants leave great reviews in exchange for a chance to win free beer or wine. They call it free beer Friday’s. The office management is terrible, but the front desk ladies and maintenance were excellent. They are dealing with foundation issues, so their apartments are crumbling. Stay far away from this place unless you want cracks going up walls, through your floors and across to the other side of your apartment in multiple places.

  • WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

    July 1, 2019
    The management is awful! No improvements after half a dozen cars left on blocks with the wheels stolen! This place is a hot spot for theft! The leasing agent left her keys on her desk and her car was stolen in the middle of the day?! The camera's don't work in the garage! This happened probably 6 times while I was there. Cars vandalized and windows broken out. The upkeep on the landscape is simply laughable. If you have a dog, the dog parks reek of pee and poop from people not picking up after ...
    their pets. Pools are overcrowded as everyone invites their friends and their friends invite their friends. Alot of noise in the hallways so expect to have no peace and quiet. Hallways are not cleaned regularly so expect to see it....

  • Good location.not a safe place

    March 7, 2018
    location is great, and that's about it. this place is not safe!!! just in 2018 there has been several break ins.Yes, this is common in Houston, but the consistency in which is happening at this complex is of a concerned. just in the first week of March, 4 vehicles were vandalized, there is also a Honda Civic (looks like 2018) missing all 4 wheels right now. They always send very nice emails about "proactive steps" they are taking to avoid this from happening again, but obviously nothing ever ...
    changes. A big problem is that their gates facing the street are super easy to climbed up and the doors to the hallways and the garage are not secured (they don't lock)... I counted at least 5 times last year that the gate to the garage was broken. Every now and then, they will hire temp security but it never lasts too long. their garage is dirty, overall maintenance of public areas is obviously not a priority. if you are looking for affordable living in a centric location, the Core is for you. If you want a safe, clean, modern living, look elsewhere. I know I'm moving out as soon as my lease is up.

  • Loving My New Home!

    September 20, 2017
    What can I say, The Core is nothing short of amazing! The communities location is absolutely wonderful and conveniently placed near some of Houston's best restaurants, nightlife venues, parks, and highway accessibility. The Core has also upheld the quality of their interior and exterior areas both in my personal apartment and even in the common areas which is very impressive. Even if there are any minor situations that may arise, the staff have always been more than informative, kind, and swift ...
    to find great solutions. Thus far, I have been nothing but impressed, satisfied, and thankful to have found my home here at The Core.

    Great location! Earon is very easy to get along with and very willing to help. The apartments have high cielings with nice, up to date kitchens. Hallways are pretty quiet and could never hear my neighbors!

    I have lived here for over a year and have even signed a new lease because I like it so much! Its location is convenient for shopping and night life. The apartments are clean and I love the high ceilings! Leasing office staff are very friendly and go above and beyond. The maintenance staff is quick to help with any issues you may have. The pool and fitness center are clean and convenient. All appliances in apartment were new and up to date.

  • We decided to stay

    August 1, 2017
    The staff at the core is super helpful, and you can't beat the location on Washington! Since moving in there have been a couple issues, but all have been dealt with in a timely manner ( which we very much appreciate). We renewed our lease a few months ago, and will all the options available, this says a lot.

  • Awesome complex, in a great location!!

    July 19, 2017
    I have been living here for about a month and so far have nothing but rave reviews for this place. The apartment itself has been perfect. The complex works out great for me since it is super close to hike & bike trails (Memorial & White Oak Bayou are both 1/2 mile away), has a lap pool completely separate from the resort-style pool, and is super close to shopping and dining. I can literally walk out the gate and across the street to 3 restaurants & a Walmart is just around the corner. Plus, if ...
    any of the walking distance places aren't to your liking, a short drive or Uber will get you anything else you'd like in regards to dining, shopping and/or nightlife. Aside from the complex details, the staff have been amazing! The ladies up front (Chandler, Ashley & Madison) have always been super welcoming every time I stop by for a package. Ashley was my initial contact who sold me on the complex and made the rental process super easy but, all three have done some great follow up and make me feel at home every time I see them. It really makes a difference!

  • Great Style-Good Price for quality

    August 15, 2016
    I moved here about a month ago, and contrary to below reviews I think the place is awesome and for a good rate! My buddies come over and I even referred someone already and they gave me $250.00. I met some of my neighbors at Taps for a resident appreciation thing and everyone is super nice. I love the location, so many places to walk to.
