After three months of living here, I already want to leave. From the outside looking in, everything seems to be wonderful. The apartment itself is actually really beautiful, but we've some pretty huge miscommunications and mishaps, and it has been discouraging to say the least.
I will be honest, I research EVERYTHING 10 times before I jump in. I should have looked a little more deeply at this place - because it's so new, there aren't many critical reviews of it, and I think that should have
...been a flag for me.
I'll start wth the good though:
There are some good things about this place - the neighbors are incredibly courteous, a lot of the office staff, and maintenance are pleasant and try to be helpful. Once construction on the parking lots is done there will be an amazing amount of parking (even with construction parking is never an issue). The grounds, and pool are ready nice, and so are the workout facilities. It's also really close to everything in Shadow Creek. It's a huge reason why we moved here. They also have a lot of parties for the residents and food trucks come by.
The bad stuff has been overwhelming though, especially since we're still relatively new tenants.
-Our leasing process was not smooth sailing.
-A vendor was mistakenly sent to our apartment and it set our security alarm off, we got dinged for that by Pearland PD and now could be fined later on.
-Our AC pooped out during the Houston summer, no one came by, or called us back for 3 days.
-Our dryer than broke, and it's been nearly two weeks without it being followed up on.
-We just found mold all over the back wall of our closet.
To be fair, I've had some really great experiences, but the experiences that count have not be great and overall, I'm not too pleased. Home is supposed to be somewhere you can come home to relax, and enjoy. A place to kick your feet up, and have a sense of place. I feel like I come home every day to a problem, and I am not the type of person who looks for issues and drama. I would rather just keep to myself and live, it's exhausting to complain ya know?
What's most frustrating is that these issues aren't over a year, or even two years, they've happened over three months. It's disappointing to say the least. I hope that things improve, but I'm not sure I want to stick around to find out.
