2008-08-30T11:52:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: So let's get real - you are not living here for a fancy updated apartment, but because you basically live in Zilker Park and it is a 5 minute walk to Town Lake.

Barton Hills Park Place: Ask for Courtney - avoid Marlow (Recommending!)

2008-08-26T14:43:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Marlow is an idiot and the people who are defending him are either bad judges of character or haven't lived here long enough.

Barton Hills Park Place: Why the negativity towards Marlowe? (Recommending!)

2008-08-16T15:46:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The nasty comments about Marlowe are shocking to read, verging on slanderous, and completely unrelated to anything I've noticed in this manager's behavior (after a year of living here and a re-up of my lease).

2008-04-18T21:01:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Most residents think the place is acceptable...until they move out. Asst manager Marlowe is ,simply put, a low-down,dirty crook.

Barton Hills Park Place: Bad Place, Rude Management, Old Inefficient Buildings (Not Recommending)

2008-01-31T16:34:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Update: BHPP has been getting worse and worse recently due to the (very, very noisy!) delivery of about 15 18 wheeler sized, huge trailers that block our view of downtown and the pool.

2006-12-07T17:16:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is horrible! Yes they look nice on the outside but trust me, it is not worth living here. First of all, there are tons of bugs.

From tucano: I've lived here for 2 years in different apartments and they are great. I can't agree more with the review which stated that many of the complaints are registered by crybabies. Bugs?

Barton Hills Park Place: Randy from maintenance ... (Recommending!)

2006-03-28T15:31:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: nice posting Randy - "Lots of crybabies". It was a dead giveaway when you wrote "the excellent maintenance staff" along with your duration as a resident.

Barton Hills Park Place: Best Apartment Experience I've Had (Recommending!)

2006-02-27T14:51:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Apartments are not most people's ideal home. They can be noisy, other tenants can be trashy, and they have such a temporary feeling. But, if you're young like me, you have to "pay your dues" by living in one until the timing is right to buy your own home.

I had ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-02-19T23:20:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in these apartments for about a year and never really had any problems with the management, although I don't think they're very approachable.

2005-08-18T15:22:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm 28, quiet, and a homebody. I'm not a hippie or a health freak. I'm just your average "nice guy" with an average car living an average life.

2005-07-20T11:51:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here previously and had a great experience but thought renting a house would be better. Boy was I wrong...in a house you have to do your own maintenance, keep the yard up, take care of any pest problems, etc. At BHPP you get prompt service, they keep up ...

2004-09-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The highlights of this complex are the location and the management staff. Both are the best you'll find in town (or anywhere I've ever seen). That being said, the buildings are ok, the parking is ok, the laundry is just less than ok, and the price is high-ish. Everything is ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-07-07T00:00:00-06:00

From Chyperton: noise, roaches, scorpions, mold, arrogant& aloof management, electrical problems--bad, bad, bad. Cheap old phone lines also give slow internet connects if using modem.

2004-07-03T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Older apartment, so high utility bills. Lack of insulation and thin walls insure plenty of noise. Extremely ugly buildings for an otherwise nice area.

Barton Hills Park Place: Terrible (Not Recommending)

2004-07-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Mediocre in almost every way. High price for something worth one-third the price. The unprofessional management counts on the poor tenant being taken with the location, but there are far better choices for less money if you look around. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Barton Hills Park Place: AAA Rating IMHO (Recommending!)

2004-04-02T00:00:00-06:00

From wm54@mail.com: I´ve lived here 2 years and the management staff has been exceptionally courteous and easy to deal with. Repairs are done prompt.

Barton Hills Park Place: Very good management, perfect location (Recommending!)

2003-11-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Let´s get real, most apartment managers are freeloading lowlifes, but not at BHPP. These folks are clued into the idea that managing an apartment complex can be done with PRIDE and professionalism.
