2009-08-17T12:59:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place was a nightmare the entire time that I was a resident. The staff will act like your best friend when you are there looking to lease, but as soon as you sign they turn into devil women. I was shown an apartment model home that I liked and ...

From addyc22: -I have lived here for only a couple months so far, but you can't beat the location. Commercial planes fly overhead frequently into Love Field but that's expected in a large city like this. There is a Starbucks, post-office, many restaurants, cafes, and bars within walking distance. It's not too ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Buy earplugs!!! (Not Recommending)

2007-06-20T22:52:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment complex has a SERIOUS problem with the fire alarms.

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Nice, but... (Not Recommending)

2007-06-21T20:51:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Fire alarms have been going off constantly since we moved in in January. In fact, we have had 3 straight evenings of them. Tonight's lasted 45 minutes before it was turned off. Parking is a hassle - only 1 spot is given to most two bedrooms. Safety seems good, management ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Mixed (Recommending!)

2007-02-07T20:05:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The good:
-Spacious floor plans with decent upgrades (not state-of-the-art, but very attractive and comfortable).
- Location is fantastic.
Right in the middle of the McKinney Ave Uptown scene, but on a quieter side street. Some units even face a wooded greenspace.

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Not great (Not Recommending)

2006-06-06T12:28:00-06:00

From johnson7: The location is wonderful and the positivity stops there. The staff, as is detailed in many testimonials, sucks big time. They have been impolite to friends of mine interested in leasing a unit on multiple occasions. They are somewhat condescending which is bizarre because they're the ones with crappy jobs. ...

Gables State Thomas Ravello: It's OK - I've got a lot of details in the description. (Recommending!)

2009-05-29T09:52:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here since September 2005.First, addressing management/staff at the front office: yeah, they're not great. I personally like to deal w/ Kim, but unfortunately she has more of an "Operations" position and can't really help w/ lease terms, etc. Gerald is the leasing manager and he has gotten better ...

2006-01-17T12:28:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in the Ravello for over six months. I live in one of the large penthouse apartments that they charge an arm and a leg for.

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Ripoff! (Not Recommending)

2005-09-22T17:37:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Yea, I agree with most of what's been said. Yes, it's a great location, super sucky parking, and pool. Weight room is a joke! It is quiet, though. They have thick concrete walls and I don't hear a peep from anyone. There's several other places in the area that are ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-07-15T09:55:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: So, I wrote an earlier review and was finally blessed with my lease expiring. But I'll warn you, this place still haunts you.

When I left, I begged these people to do a walk-thru with me, but no one would. They just winked and told me, you're fine/we'll take care of ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LEGITIMATE REVIEW AND A REVIEW OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY GABLES MANAGEMENT.

Gables State Thomas Ravello: G-d Awful (Not Recommending)

2005-01-22T16:00:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Honest, I've been here for 6 months on an 8-month lease. The parking garage is enough to make you lose your lunch. Mix that with light water pressure and high rent and it's easy to see why so many people like myself can't wait to get the hell out of ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Just Don't Expect Good Management (Not Recommending)

2004-12-15T16:11:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would join the previous reviewers in saying that living in Gables State Thomas Ravello is an overpriced hassle.

2004-12-14T16:02:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management is incompetent and rude. January of 04, the rent drop box was broken into and all our rent checks were stolen.

Gables State Thomas Ravello: AWFUL EXPERIENCE (Not Recommending)

2004-08-27T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Despite the extremely high price, awful design for a parking garage, reserved parking spaces, awful Property Mgr. and Asst.

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Great if you don't own a car, have no friends & are slickingly pale (Not Recommending)

2004-06-11T00:00:00-06:00

From DavidinTX: I know this issue has been expressed on here, but it truly is the reason I am moving out.
The garage, sadly, is awful. They have now installed speed bumps, so my daily 4-minute (really) drive around, and around, and around, now takes just a little longer. I realize that ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-04-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I noticed that 1 person wrote that mold was growing up the side of the bedroom wall.

Having lived in Uptown since 1997, I knew that this building opened up for about 8 months, and then was closed due to a black mold outbreak at the property. They spent a year ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I agree with everthing that´s already been said but here are some additional issues:

2004-03-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for about 9 months. At first I was thrilled, then things went on a downward spiral. First, it is on the southwest airline flight patter so you hear planes at all hours. Then they assigned parking, leaving only one spot for two vehicles. But worst of ...

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Not worth the hassle (Not Recommending)

2004-02-20T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As I read through the previous reviews, I found myself nodding my head in agreement. While the apartments themselves are very nice, theyﾴre just not worth the problems that make day to day life a hassle.

Parking is terrible. The garage is small, cramped, and full of blind spots. When parking ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Not worth the price (Not Recommending)

2004-01-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In addition to the parking nightmare (my car has already been damaged in the garage), the management, albeit very friendly, seems to find an excuse to enter your apartment for some odd reason at least once a week. No privacy. Sound travels easily between the ceilings and floors - I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables State Thomas Ravello: Expensive, but nice (Recommending!)

2003-11-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have enjoyed living here for the most part. The parking situation is horrendous. I only live on the 2nd floor, which isn´t too bad, but that it still 4 turns up.
