Do NOT even think about it!!!!

Lived here for 2 years. First of all roaches, roaches, roaches. German cockroaches everywhere. They are living in the walls. Don't even have food out. Had to throw away everything because they began to lay eggs in all my furniture. I don't even know where… See More >

        Save yourself the time and don't bother. Management has turned this place in to an absolute dump. Lisa is the property manager and could care less about the property or residents. This is my 4th year living here, and unfortunately it will be my last.… See More >

            Don't even bother viewing the property. I would say you get what you pay for, but that's not even scratching the surface. While the new management team appears efficient, the other residents make this the worst living experience imaginable. The apartment walls are paper thin… See More >

              Pros: Nice Appliances Good view Montrose area - Close to Night Life Cons: Noise - Really bad noise, almost intolerable. Worse than living in a frat house, worse than living next to a DJ..... iv'e done both. Staff - They don't care about you. Their job is getting people in… See More >

                Overall, this building is generally located in the heart of everything you need close proximity to, bars, stores, etc. However, MANAGEMENT SUCKS Yolanda has the worse attitude and is very disrespectful and unprofessional.

                      I lived here for 3 years. Pros: - Good location. Would not recommend walking to Midtown bars from this distance due to safety concerns, but they are a quick $5 cab fare away. Convenience store across street is well stocked and staff there is friendly. Easy… See More >

                        I would recommend not living at 230 West Alabama. When I unlocked my apartment and turned on the lights for the first time while moving in, about 5 roaches scurried across the kitchen counter. It hasn't been any better since living here. The place is… See More >

                            Do not move here if you value sleeping at night. So many tenants seem to think they live in a frat house. Otherwise, apartments are nice, management and maintenance have always been fine to me. Visitor parking could not suck worse. I haven't personally had any… See More >
