I rent a 2-bed/2-bath apartment here at Veranda Apartments in Texas City. It's just over 1,000 square feet, and I (as a single man with a dog) use most of the space. It is spacious enough for me, and the closets are large enough for more than one person.
The management team is very polite, professional, and personable. The other residents don't bother me at all (plus, inside my apartment is incredibly quiet, as well), and the people around here are always polite. The pet policy is ABSOLUTELY
...UNBEATABLE in the area, and the community is gated -- pets won't go far if they get loose.
The apartment complex sits far enough away from the busiest nearby roads to eliminate any harsh traffic noise; the complex backs up to patches of woods, train tracks that are literally (and I mean "literally") NEVER used, and open fields beyond that. It's nice to look at and so quiet back there. I take my dog to run out there sometimes.
There are a few open areas in the ground to walk and play in, as well as a very nice pool area.
The cons of it are that it's still an apartment with no elevators. The mailboxes are small, so any large boxes or packages sent to your house will go to the office first. The front office doesn't accept cash or credit cards as payment, only checks and money orders (there is a Western Union within walking distance for those). The balconies aren't large and open, but are big enough for a couple of chairs and a small table; you also have a storage closet outside, which is quite handy. The kitchen is open, but the appliances are kind of smaller than one might like them to be.
If you want to live in an overly-loud, over-crowded place where no one knows who you are and everyone is non-talkative and/or impolite -- don't choose these apartments. If you like quiet, familiar, and cozy -- pick the Veranda Apartments in Texas City.
Also, if you're going to come here, get the upgraded unit. It looks and feels a lot nicer than the original.
