2008-05-22T10:28:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Where do I begin? The office staff seems nice at first until there is a problem (whether it be with your rent, their accounting, your deposit, maintenance, problems, etc.) then they become extremely rude and adversarial.

2008-04-20T23:53:13-06:00

2007-10-22T23:29:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I guess you can do worst by going further south on bissonnet, but it is still full of bugs and an unsafe place. If you care for your car, do not live there !

2007-04-04T15:09:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The only real pro to these apts is the location. They look OK from the outside and are spacious on the inside, but the appliances don't work reliably, or even up to normal standards, there is very little insulation, which means electric bills are alway $200 , and the cleanliness ...

2007-02-09T22:02:27-06:00

From tommydevries: This apartment complex is not too bad, but there are definitely annoyances. First of all, there are about 100 stray cats running around the complex and terds and pee in the breezeways are an everyday 'greeting'. The management and maintenance crew are excellent.

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here since January and can honestly say it's the best apartment I've ever had. The interiors are nice, and I have never heard my neighbors.

From -Anonymous-: Keep in mind this won't be a Gables complex much longer as many other Gables agents have told us.

From -Anonymous-: Unbearable says it all. They are trying to do renovations to "spruce up" the place. Everything done has been very half-assed.
