I'm a resident right now, and you CAN get the DVR and HDTV upgrades with DISH. In fact, they are coming this Wednesday to bring me my new DVR receiver!!
Also, every apartment complex is going to increase your rent when you have to renew, so that's nothing exclusive to this apartment complex.

Uhm.. I think it is exclusive to the apartment you live in... increasing the rent after a year is F***ing ridiculous!

In response to "Anonymous", increasing the rent is standard at most complexes; however, increasing it from $600 to $740 IS NOT common practice from my experience, and is just RIDICULOUS (EVEN IF YOU DO GET A RAISE AT YOUR JOB!!!)..especially considering you're in the SAME apt, and there are no new ammenities to make the rent hike worth it. (The $600 to $740 rent hike happened to me and I ended up just transferring to a bigger apt). I've lived here 2 years and in agreeance with a previous poster, the carwash hose has had holes in it since I moved in (no biggie, but you do get wet). There have been 3 or 4 different managers since my move-in; leasing agents change as the seasons change and maintenance does too. If you can deal with that (and the fact that Management is sometimes difficult to get in touch with) then this is not a bad place to stay.
Overall, I have enjoyed staying here, it's just getting too expensive and not worth paying for anymore. If you're looking to rent here and get a good move-in special I would jump on it; just remember that when it's time to renew your lease the rent will dramatically increase. The location is GREAT! You're so close to everything (Willowbend Mall, Tollway, tons of dining -- it's definitely convenient) yet so far from it all (in a good way). The residents are cool, some speak to you and some leave you alone, which I like. I will say that most of the children in the complex are loud (most, not all), and you will get annoyed by them if they're playing near your apartment (they have no respect for people's property -- just last weekend we had to call the police bc some kids were throwing rocks at cars, one of the cars was mine). Walls are thin; you can hear neighbors talking (and singing in the morning), you can hear their alarm clock go off, you can hear birds chirping and dogs barking (which some ppl may like, but not I, and not at 6 am!!). It is definitely pet-friendly but be careful where you walk bc there are some lazy residents who do not pick up after their pet (eventhough there are 4 or 5 doggy-pot stations on property). Covered parking is free and assigned, which is great. Insulation is poor though. Poor insulation, along with having sucky TXU as my provider, caused me to have $150 electric bills...for a ONE BEDROOM! That was the average for spring/fall. In the summer and winter, it was near $300...again, for a ONE BEDROOM!! It's pretty safe here, although I can recall there being 5-6 car break-ins. Management immediately sends out notices though to advise you, and encourage you to be pro-active residents and watch for suspicious activity. There are some residents who have been here years, but at the same time you see a lot of move-outs. I've had very few maintenance issues, there are some minor things in the apartment that could be fixed but they're bearable.
All in all, I give this property a B- (bc of Mgmt), but I would recommend living here.
