Gables Central Park: Good, Not Great (Not Recommending)

2008-07-31T07:04:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overall apt is okay. Zero visitor parking is a serious issue. Good luck if you ever plan to have someone visit that needs to drive to complex (can pay to park in Hosiptal next door, I didn't think that was a great idea for college students). Noise is other issue. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Central Park: Ridiculously overpriced and low quality (Not Recommending)

2008-06-11T11:44:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Great location and attractive curb appeal, but that's where it ends. Parking is fine, if you're willing to walk across the complex and pay extra for a parking spot.My bike was stolen and after complaints to management about security, they said, "Well, that's too bad." Thanks for nothing.We've complained numerous ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-04-11T22:07:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I wrote a glowing review when I first moved in, but after living here a while, I downgrade my review.

Gables Central Park: Great place to live (Recommending!)

2008-03-18T23:26:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: For those willing to spend more to get better service, this is the place. Negative experiences with west and north campus landlords have taught me that this extra money is well worth it, if you can afford it.

Gables Central Park: the place is fine (Recommending!)

2008-03-01T17:39:52-06:00

From shortnspeedy: The vast majority of people of who fill out these apt review surveys are those who are pissed off, rightly or wrongly, while those who like it just fine don't bother because they don't care. I fall into the latter category, and figured I'd fill out a fair review while ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-01-31T13:08:25-06:00

From mehrdotcom@yahoo.com: The minimum rent for this apartment is 1055 and they raise it every year. You have to sign the 25 pages contract to make them sure that you do not have any rights. No parking for guests or they could be towed by their own expenses.

2007-01-23T01:29:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm mystified by some of the reviews that I see here. I moved to Gables Central Park from a condo in North Campus, and the difference between 90's and 60's construction is apparent.

Gables Central Park: Overpriced parking nightmare (Not Recommending)

2006-07-15T00:37:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Probably the worst part of my time at Gables was the parking situation.

Gables Central Park: definately a mistake (Not Recommending)

2006-07-07T13:10:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I had very high hopes when I moved in here, the property being so close to central market and not too far from UT, but I have been quite dissapointed.

2006-06-20T17:11:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment has a great location, but it is very pricey. The management nickels and dimes you to death, too.

2006-02-14T00:52:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Take your money elsewhere. This place is like a cake when you are on a diet. So good to look at but so bad after you eat it. Once you sign a lease, they know they can treat you any way they want. And 99.9999% of the time, its like ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Central Park: I regret living here; I wasted a lot of money (Not Recommending)

2005-08-10T16:41:51-06:00

From resident1980: In addition to being overpriced, Gables is not accommodating of its residents.
