Bad Plumbing & Black Mold

May 13, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
They refuse to fix plumbing, they only sent remodeling crew to fix drywall. Problem has been reoccurring for 2 years without resolution. This caused black mold and multitude of related health issues.

Property Manager Responded

Thank you for leaving a review about our community and we are sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience during your stay with us. We do strive to have the best maintenance team for our residents and address all maintenance issues within 24 hours. When a maintenance request is submitted, we inspect the issue/area to ensure the repairs are completed fully. Depending on the maintenance issue in the apartment, there are times when additional vendors are needed to make the repairs such as drywall and plumbing repairs. When there is a mold claim, we do offer our residents our Mold Remediation Policy. If you would like to discuss this further, please reach out to the leasing office.

Very stable place to live

August 8, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
Management has been in place for awhile and very reliable. Maintenance is superior always. I can depend on them totally.

If you like yourself, look elsewhere!

July 22, 2017 - Review from Apartments.com
El Lago apartments is a beautiful place. Dont let that full you like it did us. They took advantage of my wife and I. We even feel a little harrassed by them. We never missed rent. So, they gave us $800 in charges with no proof or explenation of anything. We contact them to talk and they hang up. We call account specialist. No response. Now we need to follow legal action because they wont comply. Do not move here.

I really regret moving here

August 25, 2016 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived here for two years and it continued to decline. Staff changes frequently and does not care about the people living there. When I had no AC in the summer I had to call over and over for three days in a row to finally have someone fix it. Mckinney police are called there almost every night. I was so happy to move out, as a single female, i did not feel safe there at dark. Of course when I moved out they charged me hundreds for 'damages' that they found a week after i moved out. I wish i ...
would have done more research and chosen a better place to live.

inadequate parking

September 23, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
have been here five years and at first I was told I would have to go on a waiting list for a garage! then they changed it to specific apts having garages 'assigned' to them regardless if they were rented or not! I am an elderly retired 69 yr old woman and sometimes I can't park within a block of my apt. Imagine having to carry groceries or shopping bundles that far in rain , snow, freezing or hot weather!

Perfect place to live with kids

July 23, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
El Largo Dept is a beautiful apartment complex they have a lot of amenities for the children. The maintenance staff are very punctual at esolving issues on the property stays clean.

El lago

August 19, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
The apartment inside and outside are very nice and very reasonably priced with very good square footage. The reason I rated it three stars is because the management is not the best, they very rarely answer the phones and the parking situation isn't good. I have two adults in my apartment and neither of us have a parking spot. The office says they will give us one but we have been there for five months now; and still nothing.

excellent school district

July 27, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
Apartment is located in a excellent school district. The apartment is pretty nice and in a good location. The walls are thin and parking is pretty tight. Apartment is pretty quiet and peaceful.

The #1 small city in the U.S. is McKinney, Texas according to Forbes Magazine.

Nice, spacious homes with all amenities one would expect in an upscale place like McKinney. Swim at the pool, exercise in the gym, play basketball with your children at the court. Your trash will even be picked up daily by the on site maintenance technicians. Enjoy ...
