Review History for thollmann777

get what you pay for

I rented in Houston for 9 years, and the first 4 I spent at Brompton Courts. The price was right, and it seemed to be tucked away on a quiet street. It was quiet, but that isn't always a great thing (to follow). It seems it is so quiet that people could break into the mail boxes and steal mail/identities without being seen- and that is quite a feet since you have to open the mail boxes for about a hundred units at a time with a huge swinging door. This happened twice during my stay and inspired my eventual move. I was also followed home by a con-man once who tried to get into my apartment for god nows what terrible reason... I called the office and they seemed unconcerned but told me to call the cops myself (which I did and he was arrested). The hallways are also dark and dangerous. My parents came down, declared it unnacceptable and demanded to subsidize my rent so that I could move to a nicer place (The Greenbriar Apartments).<br><br>Pros:<br>cheap<br>quiet<br>big apartments<br>well insulated (cheap electricity bills)<br>nice trees<br>close to a bus stop/Randalls/shopping center<br><br>Cons:<br>dark hallways<br>Dangerous<br>long gaps before maintenance gets in (my apt. flooded b/c it took maintenance until the next day to fix the toilet)<br>ground units flood with storms<br>
