I lived there for over five years. I did not see the room before I moved in because I was moving from out of state. The rent was higher than I was told by my apartment locater since they prepared a room on the 2nd floor, with a pool view. They said they could prepare a room on the 1st floor. That unit?s rent was the same as I was told by my apartment locater (no view). My friend suggested that I should take a room with a view since the first floor unit was very close to the entrance, and he worried about the safety.

Parking: Never had any problems. They eventually built a covered area, and I parked there. I had never been told to pay for it.

Noise: About once a year, some resident have pool party till late at night, loud, drinking beer, etc. I had to call the police. The apartment holds their own party around the pool once in a while, and you can hear music. However, they do not do it till late at night, of course. Except the inconsiderate residents? late night pool party, it was OK.

Safety: There is a gate (more like a check point) and a guard is working during the day, but the gate is often broken at night. The apartment is not surrounded by gate. You can walk into the premise easily. However, I never had any security problems. I sometimes left my wallet in my car overnight, but nobody broke in my car. I know that at some apartment, if you do that, your car will definitely be broken in. Overall, I can say the place is safe.

Maintenance: Often times, I had to call the office more than once till something got fixed. However, once the maintenance man came, the problem is fixed.

Bug problems: Lots of silver fish. Occasional roaches, but that is normal for Houston area.

Surrounding area: You can walk to the fitness club next door. Blockbuster is within walking distance. Grocery store is very nearby.

Before I moved out, I cleaned the room as much as possible. They did not charge me for anything. The rent was high, but overall, it was OK.
