While Creekstone has many great amenities and aesthetically pleasing grounds, what truly made it an enjoyable living experience were the neighbors and the property management team. Tenants here tend to range from young professionals to transplants with young families to older folks who are super sweet and have been around the complex for quite awhile. We made many good friends and spent plenty of time at the pool just hanging out with everyone. The management team hosts several parties throughout
...the year including a summer bash, thanksgiving, christmas, a wine party, plus the occasional food truck evening.
Elaine, David, and Michael were always super helpful. They obviously really care about the complex and its residents. The maintenance staff are also superb and always get things done in a timely fashion. I never felt like any of my concerns or needs were being dismissed and they continued to make improvements throughout the ~3 years we lived there including building a dog park, adding parcel boxes with keyless code entry, and even power washing the spider eggs from the hallway outside our door.
The gym is better than average, in my opinion, and I typically didn't have to wait for equipment. 3 treadmills, two ellipticals, a boxing bag, smith machine, free weights up to 50 lbs, and a total body machine. The pool was always clean and there are plenty of chairs, two gas grills, a volleyball court, and a calisthenics station. I love how dog friendly the property is as well with dog bags and waste sites throughout.
As for the apartment itself - love the crown molding and option to have them paint accent walls. Cabinets are a clean white, appliances are stainless steel, carpet is probably as attractive as carpet can be, and love having wood floors in certain areas. The patio was also huge - will miss that part the most!
Only negatives were sometimes people parking in the lot who likely weren't residents. Meant that we sometimes had to park in a dark corner far away from the buildings that made me feel a little unsafe. Wish they would put additional light posts over there. There were occasional car door dings as well that typically happened on the weekends at night after people came home late. Also, with the Buffalo Bayou right there you will sometimes get a bad small and some flooding. The upside of having the Bayou there is that the complex feels very secluded and there are gorgeous trees everywhere.
Thanks Creekstone! We will miss you - the Bush's.
