What recent reviews say

Residents report a sharp divide: many praise attentive staff, especially property managers Cynthia and Morgan, fast maintenance responses, and organized community events that made moves smooth. Others faced serious problems-failed AC units left in limbo for weeks, foundational cracks affecting doors and windows, roaches, and unresponsive follow-ups-with management refusing justified rent credits and deleting maintenance requests.

Recent updates show the property has improved; one long-term resident who battled early roach and maintenance issues now recommends the complex after seeing renovations and stronger staff performance. Still, newer tenants continue reporting AC breakdowns and communication gaps during critical repair moments.

Recent shift: One long-serving resident reported major improvements over time: after initial battles with roaches, maintenance delays, and unresponsive management, they noted renewed management, extensive renovations, and staff investment in 2026, leading them to renew their lease. However, newer residents are still reporting AC and communication issues, suggesting inconsistent follow-through.

Staff standout-particularly leasing associate Jazmyn-turns routine apartment hunting into a smooth, patient process. Residents consistently praise the location, clean interiors, pool, and the team's willingness to help, with many staying beyond their first lease. However, a critical fault line emerges: two reviewers report severe pest infestations (fleas and roaches) that persisted despite management's claims of professional treatment. One resident also endured a week-long AC outage in 100-degree Texas heat. These aren't cosmetic complaints; they point to gaps between what the property promises and what some residents experience.

Staff members like Kaili, Julissa, Grace, Ruby, Sergio, and Siuyes consistently earn praise for their friendliness and responsiveness. The complex offers extensive amenities: five pools, dog parks, putting green, volleyball and tennis courts, wellness studios, and a community garden. However, maintenance responsiveness is unreliable. Multiple residents report requests ignored for weeks or months, with mold, water leaks, and pest issues left unresolved. Dog waste throughout the complex, rat infestations, roach entry, and tobacco odor in "smoke-free" units frustrate long-term residents. Management communication often goes unanswered despite repeated follow-ups.
