2008-08-13T07:36:10-06:00

From TenantKris: I agree, the management is the worst I ve ever dealt with, mainly because the corporate office is in Virginia.

2006-09-24T22:48:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived there twice over the last five years and to say it has gone downhill does not do it justice.

2006-06-12T23:43:31-06:00

From mhs8: There aren't too many areas left in Houston that have trees. This is a "woodsy" apartment complex with friendly neighbors.

2006-05-01T12:10:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 1. Mgmt staff continually acts like you're wasting their time, no matter what the question.

2005-11-29T12:54:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you are thinking of living here, be aware that the owners are harvesting this property. That is, they are not investing, expending the minimum for maintenance, and paying the front office staff to pretend otherwise.
