My boyfriend and I have lived here for about 7 months now. We are both so surprised by how good this place turned out to be, considering it’s pretty affordable.
Pros:
1. Maintenance responds to requests quickly. We have only had to call maintenance twice for minor reasons, and both times they responded and fixed the issue within one or two days.
2. It’s a quiet place to live. I have only heard our neighbors a hand full of times, but other than that it’s really quiet. I don’t know if we just
...got lucky and have really quiet neighbors or if the building is built well, but either way it’s been nice.
3. Everything in the apartment seems to work well. I’ve had a few problems getting the stove to heat well sometimes, but after messing with it a bit it hasn’t been a problem. AC and heating work great. No leaks, smells, or any other problems. There was a time when our power was shut off for a few days, but that was a state-wide crisis so I don’t blame the complex.
Cons:
1. Roaches. We don’t get a lot of them, I’d say I see one every month or so, but they’re so big and creepy lol. But that’s kind of hard to get away from in Texas.
2. The neighborhood isn’t the best. I would feel safer here if they had more security for the complex. However, nothing too weird has happened here and I haven’t had my car broken into. Once I noticed a homeless man going through the garbage, however he didn’t bother me and I didn’t feel unsafe because of him. Another time a young homeless man knocked on our door and a few other doors. I’m not sure what he wanted because I didn’t feel safe to engage him, but that was a bit odd I suppose. I was honestly expecting worse because the area is pretty run down, but it would be nice if the apartment took better safety measures.
3. Lighting. My biggest gripe with this place is how dark the apartment is. Very little natural light, with no overhead lighting fixture in the main living area. This could of course just be my unit, but it was the worst part of living here for me.
Overall I am really happy with our experience here. I would say if you’re on a budget and need a clean, quiet place to live, that this a pretty good option.
