Jefferson Estates at Bellaire (formerly Pin Oak Estates): Caution (Not Recommending)

2008-09-19T14:21:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Houston has many comparable rental properties...stay in one of those. The proximity to powerlines is dangerous. Loud noise is prevalent. And beyone any of the other irritants the staff is wholly incompentent, ill-mannered, impolite, and uncivil--all the adjectives that could describe rude. I would like to impress on any possible ...

2008-07-31T14:38:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Mostly this is a good complex. Some highly annoying things that are having me reconsider re-uping my lease:1. Noise: I am constantly woken up by the lawn mowers. It is getting to the point where I literally need to where ear plugs. The weed wackers that literally are run AT ... [click to read full apartment review]

Jefferson Estates at Bellaire (formerly Pin Oak Estates): Other Than The Noise, I'm Happy (Recommending!)

2008-05-20T22:59:42-06:00

From Pinkyupplace: I have lived here since 10/07 and love the location and my apt. It's georgous! The only complaint is hearing the upstairs neighbors walk, run and fall on the floor. Insulation is very poor on the floors/ceilings. My lighting fixtures actually rattle when the pounding is so hard. When I ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in this apartment for nearly one year.

From jenpayne: So i'm coming up on my two year mark at Jefferson Estates and I can honestly say I haven't lived at any apartment community this long (due to specials and incentives to move by other communities).

From -Anonymous-: Jefferson Estates is a great place to live! I have lived here 3.5 years. The new management is wonderful.

From -Anonymous-: The construction of these apartments is the poorest I've ever seen when calling them luxury.
