  • Extreme negligence

    July 3, 2025
    I moved into [Apartment Name] on [date], and my experience has unfortunately been a nightmare. My unit was not ready at move-in — there were holes in the floor, broken fixtures, and nothing felt move-in ready. Things got worse when, on my second night, my entire apartment flooded because the washer/dryer installation was done improperly — a hose wasn’t connected, and I unknowingly washed clothes, assuming everything was set up correctly. The result? Water everywhere, damaged property, and a huge ...
    emotional toll. I want to be fair — the staff has been kind and responsive, but the level of negligence is just unacceptable, especially for a new tenant who expected a clean and functional home. I hope this review helps future renters make an informed decision and encourages management to take stronger accountability for quality control and safety before move-ins.

  • Roaches

    May 18, 2024
    Looks can be deceiving. These apartments appear breathtaking, but the reality is far from it. As a tenant, you are charged monthly for pest control, yet you must call for service to have your unit treated. In contrast, every place I have lived prior, the management took responsibility for pest control and treated every unit, which was included in the rent. Here, there is a severe roach infestation. It's horrible and no matter what you do, roaches will still be present. I'm convinced the entire ...
    complex is infested as I have spoken to various neighbors in different units who share the same problem.

  • Stay Away - they'll rip you off

    May 9, 2023
    I''m only writing this because I saw some of the recent reviews are 5-star. But this is far from the truth and I believe they're fake reviews. The owners will find any means to charge you extra on every little thing. They'll use the lease agreement - which is vague - to suck every penny out of you. Thank me later or "I told you so".

  • Sweetwater my place I call home

    September 29, 2020
    I lived at this community for many years. The staff is incredible. Ali the assistant and Chandra the manager have been the familiar faces I have seen for years. I wish I didn't have to leave. If you are looking for a quiet affordable place to call home, this is it.

  • Amazing Visit

    August 27, 2020
    My self guided tour for my daughter was great today. Cassandra the manager explained all the details for me. Pricing was higher than the others on this street but when you drive in it explains why. The two bedroom that I saw was very nice and clean. The feature that really caught me attentions was the pond located in the center of the apartments. I will bring my daughter and wife this weekend. If I had to say something bad it would be the tight limited parking, but overall I am happy with this ...

  • Best Apartment

    August 21, 2020
    I looked really hard to find an affordable apartment that is safe and pest free. I brought these concerns up with Veronica and she not only arranged for a viewing before I applied she has been the sweetest, most attentive, and responsive landlord I have ever rented from.I can't say enough about how great she has been. She makes me feel like she really cares about our community she is a delight to deal with everytime. The apartments are clean and beautiful. The neighborhood is friendly but quiet. ...
    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sweetwater at Buckingham!

  • Save Yourself

    February 11, 2020
    Save yourself the trouble, do not move here! SO MANY BUGS! I have lived all over Dallas, never dealt with bugs like this. My first night moving in I woke up to roaches everywhere. I asked the office to come spray, they asked if I was sure I saw roaches because they didn’t see any in the showing.. there is clearly an issue with bugs in the complex. People leave their trash out all around the trash can, even when it’s empty and open. Loud music at night, thin walls you can hear everything. The ...
    gates never worked the entire time I lived here. They are supposedly second chance apartments, if you get behind, even just a week they will not work with you and start the eviction process at 10 days late. I wish I never moved into these raggedy apartments. Don’t let the pictures fool you, everything is a bandaid job to cover up how ratchet they really look. I had cracks in my ceilings and windows. This is worse than low income apartments and they cost way too much.

  • Horrible management

    July 18, 2018
    This place was fine until we had an incident on property that required management (Candra & Ali) to "get involved". I say that lightly because they did absolutely NOTHING to resolve the issue. They lied for a month saying they were handling it and when I continued to pursue the issue, they became very rude and flat out refused to rectify the situation. Cheri is the ONLY one here that does anything. She's great with the tenants and follows up appropriately. The other two just sit in their offices ...
    and avoid interacting with tenants as much as possible. I'm guessing that's because they have NO customer service skills. I haven't had any maintenance needs in a while, but in the past, they have taken 2 weeks to respond. The property constantly has trash strewn all over from tenants who don't properly dispose of their trash. All in all, I hate living here and can't wait until my lease is up!

  • DO NOT MOVE HERE!

    March 28, 2018
    If I could give zero stars, I would. Great place to live if nothing ever goes wrong or you never need anything fixed....but god help you if it do. Customer Service does not exist within this property...honestly not even sure how they even rent these apartments considering no one is EVER working. It may take a dozen phone calls or emails, not to mention trips to the office to get anyone who actually works in the office to assist you at all. Management literally doesn't exist and the corporate ...
    office is ALWAYS closed too. Good luck if you choose to live here because all you will ever be told is it's your problem not theirs.
