Review History for HoustonRenter2012

This Apartment has been stadily declining in the past few years

Upon renewal now, in addition to increased rent, there will be a (non-negotiable) $25 a month fee for valet trash that does not pick up on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It is a worthless service since dumpsters are all over the complex and very close to every building. It is noisy hearing them picked up each night and you have to do so between designated times (6-8 PM) so if you work hours that are different than that or don't get to it in time you have to wait. It is utterly more pain than it is worth. The building roofs are shedding tiles. The neighbors are not too loud - it is the terrible insulation. You can hear domestic spats that are really nothing but are louder than they need to be because there is nothing keeping their noise from your apartment. You can hear anytime someone walks with creeking and thumps. The pools are not heated any more, one used to be year round; it is not now. The parking is ample, but it is not well lit. The washers and dryers require a credit care, and most of the washers and dryers are small rooms or are not even in the same location - the website is very misleading. The gates hardly work on the apartment. At times they are propped open because the keys will not work and most of the time people just follow you in. It is not "gated" in the sense of security and if they say that it is they immediately state that there is no "safety" guaranteed by the complex because of the gate. The prices have been raised and are in "market value" compared to complexes that were built in the 90's and newer, but these were built in the late 60's The water is out often, seems like a few times a month. Water is priced per square foot so use as much as you can is the lesson. I would not live here. Most of the residents I have know have also moved from this place. Caution.
