Yo!

Do not move here unless you're desperate

I am the first person to write a review, probably because everyone else who lives here is too dumb to understand how to use a computer.

I have been living here for nearly a year, and in that year I've had to transfer to another unit. Both units have been unpleasant, for many unresolved reasons.

I wouldn't recommend moving here unless you are extremely desperate and you just can't afford to move anywhere else. Really the only pro is that the electricity bill is usually 50 dollars, water is free, move in is 99 dollars, and rent is really low.

The management company is constantly changing, and never for the better. Every manager we've been through has been extremely stupid. As well as the rest of the staff. Don't count on them to do anything except collect your money and flirt with your boyfriend/husband.

The overall environment is unpleasant.

The grounds are hardly up-kept. There is trash everywhere, and the dumpster is always overflowing.

There's nowhere for children to play, yet they still try. You can find a million kids playing in the parking lot, hanging off of buildings like the annoying monkeys that they are, kicking balls at your car, and screaming at the tops of their lungs.

It's a party 24/7 over here.

There's always someone blasting tejano music at weird hours.

It's always during the day, or in the middle of the night.

Buy a loud fan for each room if you want to sleep at night, or else you'll have to listen to a bunch of Mexican guys talk, break beer bottles, argue, and sing loudly on their porch (apparently they can't take the party inside) until 6 o'clock in the morning.

Don't be surprised if you're leaving for work in the morning and find a guy passed out on the ground or in the bed of some one's truck.

Don't even bother trying to get to the washateria. There will be five or six Mexican guys sitting in the doorway, of course singing loudly, and drinking. Most of the washers and dryers don't work, and it smells like pee in there all the time.

Domestic violence seems to be a trend here. Like I said, buy some loud fans.

Drug use/drug dealing is prevalent here too. Not much explanation needed there.

The parking system is disorganized. There are more spots made that you have to pay for than there are free spots, and needless to say, everyone parks in the free spots, and don't even think about parking in a spot you have to pay for, because your car will be towed at 1 in the morning, guaranteed

No matter how clean you keep your apartment, you will have roaches. And it doesn't how many roach baits you put out or how much spray you use, they will keep coming back.

They half-ass it when they are preparing your apartment.

Don't be surprised if your apartment smells like cat-lady lived there before you, and there's fleas hopping all over the place, the lovely manager will just spray some air freshener in there and call it a day.

And it's no big deal to these people if the building is infested with bats and bats get into your apartment on a regular basis.

If your apartment has OBVIOUSLY been flooded in the past , don't expect them to fix the walls or change the carpet, or change the cabinets that smell like mildew. Nope, they'll just paint over the cabinets with black paint, and fill the cracks and holes with white caulk. Can someone say , CLASSY'

If your stove is really really old, don't expect a new one. They'll just paint over the range with white paint! That way, every time you cook, you'll get a nice headache from the fumes, and the stove top will turn brown and peel, permanently!

If your kitchen light only works half of the time, they're not gonna give you a new one! nope, they'll just pretend you never asked.

And why on earth would you need a chain lock on your door' apparently all you need is one deadbolt, not even one that only locks from the inside. I mean, it's such a safe community and all with all the crack-heads running around.

ah.. believe it or not, that's not even all of the problems I have with this apartment community. BUT, I am tired of typing, and that should be enough to let anyone considering moving here know that they most definitely should not.
