We love living at Savannah Oaks. Before we moved here, we lived at an apartment complex on the South Loop just West of Slide. There was crime, the facilities were always broken, there was constant traffic noise, and the management treated their residents and staff like inputs instead of people. Our experience at Savannah Oaks over the past 18 months could not have been more different. It's so inconspicuous from the street that you can pass right by it, but the interior of the Savannah Oaks
...complex is an oasis. It's covered by old, tall trees, so the walkways are shaded and the grass is lush. I swear that on hot summer days, your patio is ten degrees cooler than the rest of town. The apartments themselves are great, too. Even though it's an older complex and not everything is totally up to date (one of our bathrooms is still just barely functional), the interiors are clean and spacious, the customizable accent walls give the apartments character, and the maintenance staff is competent, timely, and friendly. In fact, the best part of Savannah Oaks is the people. The residents are friendly, too: they will actually say hi to you, introduce themselves, and strike up a conversation. We have gotten to know not just our neighbors, but other folks we see regularly throughout the complex. The management is great as well. They are all legitimately cool people and we have gotten to know each of them. Though you can count on them to be professional, they are never uncaring - which is more than I can say for the managements of other complexes in Lubbock. So long as you pay your rent on time and don't trash the place, they won't come knocking on your door or hit you with fines if you forget to pay your covered parking fee (for example). It's an easy and comfortable place to live, and we wish we could take it with us when we eventually leave Lubbock.
