Typically I am not the person that writes a review but I wanted to share my positive experience.
I recently purchased a home so I needed to terminate my lease early. Terminating my lease was handled fairly. 1520 Magnolia only needed a 60 day notice and they worked with me in reducing the early termination fee if I was able to refer someone. My girlfriend is still struggling to get out of her lease at another apartment complex. Some apartment complexes will try to make you retroactively pay the "market rate" for all previous months if you try to end your lease early. The market rate is usually about $100 more than what the apartment is actually worth. I am thankful that I lived at a place that doesn't utilize unfair practices to keep you trapped into a lease. At 1520 Magnolia, I felt like the conditions for early termination were a win-win situation. 1520 Magnolia found a new tenant to move into my apartment after my move out. I was able to move out without any extra financial burden.
Apartment units are of good quality. I have had some minor problems but they were dealt with quickly and responsibly. The A/C once stopped working one evening and I received help almost immediately after hours. Turns out the problem was a bad thermostat and it was replaced with a better model. The mini-blinds broke once but they were immediately replaced. Those were the only issues I encountered.
Pool and grounds were well maintained. Gas grills were fully operational which is a rare feat at most apartment complexes. Community is quiet and other tenants have been courteous in my experience.
Also, staff is very friendly. They remembered my unit number and name.
