The leasing staff and manager are outstanding although none of them actually live on property, which I thought was telling. Basically the property is falling apart.




The water is turned off frequently due to leaks under the buildings. The water is off for 3-6 hours everytime. In order to save money the management uses a staff maintenance person to fix these plumbing leaks which start leaking again within days or weeks, after it is fixed almost everytime. What should be done and isn?t is that the management should hire a professional plumber to come out and fix it properly once and for all!


There are no security gates and according to the Bryan Police 80% of crime in bryan happens within 1 mile of Plainsman Lane. In the past year there has been numerous vandalism attacks on vehicles, in one attack that happened overnight, 10 cars had all 4 tires slashed by hoodlums who after getting finished with our complex they continued their vandalism throughout the area, they were never caught.


The most disturbing situation happened this last summer when an armed hostage situation happened in the back building of the complex in which the SWAT team had to come out with snipers and handle the situation. The complex was shut down, buildings were evacuated and we were told that after dark, those of us who were not evacuated had to stay inside and could not come or go for any reason.




Another problem with the apartments is that due to the horrible condition of the weatherproofing on the doors inside and out you will lose a massive amount of energy due to HVAC loss.




My energy bill per month for a 700 sq.ft. on the first floor runs $100.00 plus w/ very little use of the AC.




br>I would highly suggest contacting Bryan Police to get a report on all crimes reported at this property before you lease, it isn?t a place to raise kids, I will definitely say that much.


And don?t forget, you will get what you pay for, a little piece of mind is worth a few more dollars for an apartment that at least offers security gates.


One more thing, if you notice, the name of the complex has changed, there is a reason for that, the crime was so bad that the management couldn?t lease to anyone other than trash, which compounded the problem.




Renters BEWARE!!




Sincerely,
