Pros:
-Immediately next to Moody Gardens, one of the main attractions on the island.
-Has a fishing pier, boat launch, and you can tie your boat up along the little canal inlets.
-Offers 6-month leases.
-Pretty view from some apartments of either the bay, or the pond at the center of the complex.
-One of the higher complexes in the area, so flooding is not a big issue.
-Had electricity during the big freeze when nowhere else on island did.
-It’s a place to live on island.
Cons:
-Constantly
...finding small roaches (the nasty kind, not the large water roaches) in my apartment even though it is kept clean. They list pest control on the rent charges, but I’m not sure that pest control ever actually comes, I’ve never seen a difference nor any person coming around to do it.
-Apartment smells of smoke on multiple occasions because the downstairs neighbor smokes like a chimney and it seeps up into my unit even though smoking is supposed to not be allowed.
-Worst paint job I have ever seen. They painted over everything with thick paint, including the cable connections on the wall and the door hinges which cracked and peeled upon being opened since they were caked with paint. Maintenance had to come within the first week to replace the cable outlets so I could actually use the internet that I had paid to have working on the day I moved in (maintenance was at least quick).
-Manager seems to always be out of the office and hard to get ahold of.
-Communication was great when I was moving in, but after that it was difficult to get in touch with anyone who knew anything when questions arose.
