Hello Verified Resident 932857, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us this feedback. We do have a courtesy patrol that patrols multiple times during the evening hours and are on call. If you ever see anything please call (214)999-9320 and you will reach either the office or courtesy patrol.

There are many reports of non-residents propping open security doors with rocks and/or slipping through the large gates (there are gaps) and then 'touring' the homes and stealing items outside of the properties.  These have been caught on doorbell videos.   I have only been here for 2 weeks but I have not seen any security.

(disclosure: I&#39;ve never written an apartment review before because they always seemed irrelevant to me&#44; but my experience at this apartment forced my hand.)

Manchester State Thomas is the polished turd of Uptown. Sure it looks OK based on its location&#44; but get too close and you ll regret it. Drastically overpriced units&#44; subpar amenities&#44; very unfriendly if not downright rude leasing staff (if James is there&#44; run )&#44; and a gym that basically doubles as a broken workout machine storage unit (see attached picture).

We only lived there a year due to the aforementioned problems&#44; and if I could have moved out faster I would have. 

We were referred by a moving company in the area&#44; but were refused the free move due to some paperwork issues on their end. Strike 1.

I can t remember a time when we didn t have maintenance issues (though I will say that their maintenance staff does their best to keep up with the poor construction of the property). Strike 2.

Then to top it all off&#44; they lost 1 of our garage door openers after move-out&#44; charged me for it&#44; and then James the manager accused me of lying when I asked that it be taken off our bill. Strike 3.

For anyone trying to decide whether or not to move here&#44; heed my advice: move elsewhere and don t look back. If you have the money to live here&#44; clearly you have options. Use them. Buy a house&#44; live at any of the 20 other nearby apartments&#44; rent a condo&#44; etc  Heck&#44; live in a tent at Griggs Park. Even that would beat the turd sandwich that is MST.

Living at State Thomas

Best uptown apartments and townhomes! We downsized from a 3 bedroom house and all our stuff fit. My husband loves that we can still have an oversized 2 car garage that he&apos;s used to and still be walking distance to everything. Really happy we made the decision to live here. Not much more you could ask for here :)
