January 4, 2025Great location. Great parking. Quiet neighbors. However, the blinds do not prevent lots of light at night. Need to work on this. The gym is nice to have. So far I've msinly used it for yoga. The whole move process was not kind to my back! The staff are friendly. And, helpful.Property Manager Responded

August 5, 2024In a great neighborhood for a decent price. It’s not too expensive in comparison to other complexes in the same area. Roaches are a big problem. Pest control doesn’t get rid of them, if you can get pest control to even show up. Maintenance will lie about coming.Property Manager Responded

June 18, 2024Great place to live in the heart of River Oaks in Houston! I enjoy the beautiful grounds, pools, Click Cafe, dog parks, and Amazon Lockers. The office staff is responsive and maintenance is as well. I had a bug issue which was resolved after spraying around our area. The grounds are very well kept and lush. I love the high ceilings in my apartment with my fireplace. The price is unbeatable. We love engaging with the office staff and the parties/gatherings they have each month. Thanks!Property Manager Responded
