Gables Rock Springs (formerly Rock Springs Estates): Dump - STAY AWAY (Not Recommending)

2009-02-24T11:57:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Are you kidding? Don't even consider leasing from these slumlords. You'd be better off just sleeping under an overpass. The leasing agents are inconsiderate, offensive and have no concept of customer satisfaction. Generally low class cultures like this develop from the top so I can only assume the property manager ...

Gables Rock Springs (formerly Rock Springs Estates): Management Sucks (Not Recommending)

2008-12-04T12:40:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management sucks, they are not a friendly face. My favorite part is that if you don't put in rent by the 1st, no friendly reminder, no late notice then, but at the end of the grace period, by close of business three days, you'll get a full on possession of ...
