  • Trashy place

    December 3, 2024
    Unkept, unsafe. Car was broken into on the property. Common areas smell unclean, moldy and dusty. No safe to walk property, drive, or live there. Avoid this apartment complex for your own safety and sanity.

    This is a great place to live if you want your car stolen. The gate never works so anyone can get here and steal anything from you.

  • Look elsewhere

    January 3, 2023
    Where do I start. So upon moving in the apartment was completely dirty, uncleaned and looked a mess. The carpet had pee stains They sent someone out to clean which they barely did and to change carpet the next day and I tried to move forward with living here. Next day I got a notice on door to evict because they messed up with the amount that was owed but if I owed how would I even get my keys to apartment. I called and they said it’s mandatory to leave notices and just pay the small difference. ...
    So I did and continued to try to enjoy my new place since I’m in a brand new state but nooo that’s not all. The apartment was infested with tiny black bugs that were biting me up all night!!! So I did reach out snd told them I will be terminating my lease. Mind you this all happened within the week of me staying there. Only reason two stars and not one because they returned my fees and apologized but other than that these apartments are horrible and would look else where if I was you. The elevator and complex smells like pee and just dirty overall.

  • I'm Home!

    June 1, 2022
    Nice apartments! I'm new to Houston. This transition has been really challenging to say the least. Simone & Rose are truly sent from the heavens above. I love my new home. The complex seem pretty safe and secured. There are a few pools, the gym, dog park, outside cooking place, fire place etc. The Dawson location is PERFECT! Everything you need is in walking distance. I can't make this up. I recommend this place for you.

  • Not the best, but decent enough

    May 6, 2021
    Lived here nearly 5 years. In the first month, there were two notices of criminal activity, which I appreciated that they informed us, but over time, they didn't communicate enough about activity (and this was before the change in management). However, I am thankful I have never felt unsafe or witnessed any criminal activity. Even being a single woman, I have felt safe in the parking garage. There is always parking (I don't mind parking on the 5th floor if I get home late - I have lived places ...
    that had literally no parking.) It is conveniently located walking distance to a Kroger, Walgreens, McDonalds/ChickFilA, and a liquor store. The worst things? Yes it is loud. Most of the noise is average (music, talking in the corridors past my door, doors slamming) and during evenings, but these units have SUPER thin walls and ceilings, so you can hear footsteps, loud pets, and can almost hear full conversations if it's quiet enough. Entering/existing the complex from Briar Forest is awful in the mornings and especially from 3PM-6PM (there is a school up the road and making the U-turn is a pain. It can be difficult for delivery drivers to locate the complex. I don't think it's super dirty, but yes I've seen dog poop and trash places. They use Fetch to deliver packages because their leasing office could not handle it. They have electrical door locks, so if the battery goes out, you're locked out. Your key fob may also need to be fixed. I've had issues for the last 2 years and got locked out twice. My rent increased just over $200 over the span of 4-5 years, but the last time I renewed, I asked for options to switch units, and they did not offer me any specials or deals considering I had lived here for so long. On to the next!

  • So far, it’s great!

    March 16, 2021
    The management team here is wonderful and always a helping hand. Shout out to MALLORY! You’re awesome. I recently moved here and I was in the cypress area of 529 and barker cypress a “busy area” so honestly I don’t mind the “loud” noises. We live by busy roads, it’s called industrialism, if you want a quiet place, than live in the country. I love it here! All the Residents I’ve been in contact have been all friendly as well :) plus a bonus is Chick-fil-A is right in front of the complex so I’m ...
    not complaining. Also, the dog park is my furson favorite part of The Dawson!

  • I cannot wait for lease to expire.

    August 6, 2020
    I wish I would have read resident reviews before I signed my lease. Big mistake on my part. The community is impossibly loud- may as well be living outside on the street. Note that there is a fire station very near - you will hear the sirens blaring while the firetruck is waiting for the light to change at the intersection. Walls are SO thin, next to unbelievable how much noise is generated. As others have mentioned , the complex is dirty and unsafe. And expensive. Please look elsewhere !

  • Horrible Place. Save your money

    May 11, 2020
    If I could give zero stars, I would. This place has to be the worst ran apartment complex I have ever lived in. It is unsafe, trash everywhere and the management team does not care about anything. The walls are thin, expect to hear a lot of noise after midnight on any night & strangers coming in the gate anytime as they please. If you don't mind marijuana smell, tons of that on any corner.

  • Bad Management / Trashy Place

    April 28, 2020
    Management does not help whatsoever. Big loads of trash are always lying in hallways or in the garage, it is disgusting. It is a very dirty place once you find out who your residents are. Nothing is ever fixed, loud complex. Good luck sleeping. I feel it is not safe, gates are always open. Break ins every month. Horrible experience at The Dawson. Worst place.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Not Safe / Very Loud. Do not recommend.

    March 17, 2020
    Walls are thin, you will hear everything noise. Once the weekend starts, the place is more like a club. Get ready for break in emails in the garage, the security is ran by a mall cop who is never present. Management doesn't care for any complaints or ever get back to you to fix issues. I am glad I will be leaving this place very soon.
