2009-07-12T17:42:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The current staff is way over there head with regard to experience to offer professional services. (probably only high school education at best)But this is normal I guess for entry level mangement position pushing and cheerleading for the corporate agenda.Its all about signing you to a lease and forget about ...

MacGregor: Stay away, they will take you down (Not Recommending)

2009-03-25T16:59:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Let's state it simply - People I know are moving out and out. They do it for reasons so don't come to the trap yourself. A few major warnings:1)The noise is ridiculous.

2009-02-13T10:16:49-06:00

From RemingtonAlessi@Gmail.com: As a rather discriminating renter, I would recommend the MacGregor for a number of reasons.

MacGregor: Do your research first (Not Recommending)

2008-04-17T16:27:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into this complex without doing my research first. I was lulled by the well appointed office and the unit they showed me.This place is extremely noisy. You get noise from the highway, noise from the neighbors and noise from the hallway. Fact is, I know when every neighbor ... [click to read full apartment review]

MacGregor: Not Horrible, But Definitely Way Overpriced (Not Recommending)

2008-04-16T02:04:28-06:00

From texas05: I've been living here for quite some time (years) despite sharp rental increases because a.) it's close to the medical center and b.) I can't stand the thought of moving and c.) the lofts near-by are a huge money trap and gross waste of money and thus wouldn't want to ... [click to read full apartment review]

MacGregor: Not a Deal (Not Recommending)

2008-04-11T10:35:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I found the apartments to look ok, but after living there for a bit, they turned into a nightmare.

2007-09-04T10:25:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with all of the posts that say overpriced, but what apartment isn't in this rental market??

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for more than a year now and can confidently say that--having lived in a number of different apartments in Houston the last tens years--this one is the best overall and particularly in terms of management and quality of residents.

2007-08-05T16:20:05-06:00

2007-03-09T18:44:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I absolutely love my apartment here at the MacGregor, but unfortunately it just has too many strikes against it for me to want to live here anymore.

MacGregor: (Not Recommending)

2006-08-16T00:22:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The noise level is so bad you can hear your neihbor fart from your apartment. Ask the office about the constant flickering lights and they look at you like this is the first time they have heard about it. Office staff is rude! ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-05-07T03:22:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been at this apartment the last two and a half years. The only thing that keeps me here is its proximity to the school.

MacGregor: Don't waste your money (Not Recommending)

2006-05-01T12:20:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Ok...this place is the WORST. I mean imagine spending an arm and a leg for a Ghetto that on the outside appears beautiful, but on the inside lacks any substance whatsoever.

Crime - it happens...even though there are cameras everywhere (don't know if they serve a purpose) and gates. A ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-01-31T21:15:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I find the review entitled "overpriced" to be completely contradictory to my experience living here over the past year. Firstly, any maintenence issue I have ever had has been immediately addressed. Secondly, I have never seen a trace of dog urine anywhere on the property. The building is thouroughly cleaned ...

2005-11-02T14:54:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The only thing luxurious about the MacGregor is the leasing office and the wine room that is never used. The apartment has cheap fixtures, cheap carpet, and cheap appliances.
