Village at West University: quiet, nice and a lot crime (Recommending!)

2008-09-05T09:54:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The grounds are well kept and beautifully landscaped. There are lizards everywhere (except in the apartments). It's awesome to watch them scurry when walking down a shaded pathway. The residents keep to themselves, but most are friendly. Management is nice, but they can take ages to complete requests. Maintenance is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Village at West University: Been Here Two Months Now (Recommending!)

2008-08-12T12:09:33-06:00

From rayward: So far so good. The location is excellent and the apartment is well equipped and quite spacious for a 1-bed unit (900 sqft). The parking is very handy in that you have an assigned spot at your apartment level, and the walkways are all covered so there's no battling the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Village at West University: When moving out they will rip you off (Not Recommending)

2008-08-06T14:33:01-06:00

From mandarina: they're nice when you move-in but when you move out they will try to charge you for everything, even for little spots on old carpet (that's been there for 3-5 years), asking you to pay for carpet change. And they treat you so bad, totally unegotiable.Lindsey and Heather will not ... [click to read full apartment review]

Village at West University: Great place, but a few big flaws to consider (Recommending!)

2008-03-29T10:36:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: What the people below mention about crime is true. This is perfectly situated complex, and it doesn't have that stark "corporate-owned" generic look about it like many local complexes. Those places look so depressing. Parking is terrific, which was always a problem in my old complexes, but if you plan ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-02-12T10:04:08-06:00

Can walk to grocery store and restaurants. Haven't heard of any car break-ins but, this is Houston, TX 3rd largest city in the US. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Village at West University: This is a loser (Not Recommending)

2007-01-31T02:36:34-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Major noise problems all night from trucks unloading at Kroger. Office staff are usually uninterested or so into themselves that issues are not addressed. Cable is controlled by TV Max which is a terrible provider(you know if you use them). I'm glad my lease is up. I'm tired of notices ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-07-20T14:52:42-06:00

Village at West University: Risk Losing your Possessions by Living Here (Not Recommending)

2006-03-31T12:20:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: To sum it up, this place is overpriced and sketchy. Crime is much higher than at other area complexes, both in the garage and in actual apartment break-ins. The company refuses to tighten up security and spring for cameras as it is "expensive" but yet every resident gets a stainless ... [click to read full apartment review]

Village at West University: VWU Great - Crime way up since Katrina everywhere in Houston (Recommending!)

2006-02-05T09:00:43-06:00

From captaincanteloupe: Re the crime: the crime rate for Houston in 2005 is up 23%, due mostly to a stunning 70% increase in Nov and Dec 2005. Until someone proves otherwise the prime suspect has to be our 80,000 new friends from Louisiana who were bussed in last fall.

VWU is taking ... [click to read full apartment review]

From Hans1662@aol.com: Although there is a concern over the recent rash of burglary of motor vehicles, it is apparent that management is doing all the right things to prevent or lessen further intrusion from those thiveing rascals.

Village at West University: reply to get real (Not Recommending)

2006-01-25T14:21:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: All replies have simply proven my point. I write about 20 break ins in one night and people reply by saying how great it is to live here. In fact, they don't blame management for repeated break ins, but they blame the residents.

Is it a resident's fault that they ... [click to read full apartment review]

Village at West University: nice place but lotsa buts (Not Recommending)

2005-07-04T10:19:42-06:00

From -Anonymous-: nice environment, well kept, but....
- unsafe (numerous, coordinated and well timed "hits" on vehicles), young women beware at night (a small splurge for security cameras would probably help)
