Reserve at Charles Place: If you can afford to live here you do not want to (Not Recommending)

2008-08-05T05:59:18-06:00

From mmsai: This place has been one nightmare after another. The apartments look great outside until you have lived here for a little while.

Reserve at Charles Place: Pool closed constantly air conditioners problems (Not Recommending)

2008-07-23T11:31:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The reserve at charles place advertises as a "luxury apartment" but I beg to differ. The air conditioners are outdated and need constant maintenance to keep a cool temperature in the apartment. Second the pool has been closed in 2008 3 times. some periods of closure are 3 days to ...

Reserve at Charles Place: Decent Place (Recommending!)

2008-04-28T15:33:15-06:00

From anime_crazed: I have read other reviews and can kind of understand their problems. I can hear my neighbors a little, when they open their garage, front door, or are teaching their students the bassoon. Aside from that I usually can't hear anything, and if I'm playing music or watching TV I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Reserve at Charles Place: Do not live here!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-03-26T13:20:34-06:00

From cerange4567@yahoo.com: I cant help but notice that all of the positive reviews of this place are written by someone who is "anonymous". What a surprise. Look this complex is only about 70% full now because everyone is leaving. The bottom line is that this place is overpriced and poorly made. And ... [click to read full apartment review]

Reserve at Charles Place: Don't have someone above you (Recommending!)

2008-03-17T12:48:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Worst problem - if you have someone living above you, it is very loud, like someone is jumping on your head. Just poor construction. Pick a unit with no one above or pray for a soft footed neighbor. The fitness room is not well maintained and kids go in there ... [click to read full apartment review]

Reserve at Charles Place: WORST MANAGEMENT.... (Not Recommending)

2007-12-29T20:07:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Maintenance guys here are probably the best. Apartment in itself is not that bad, although I do have to agree with some of the comments below... Beware of Danielle.

Reserve at Charles Place: 'Ghetto' is in the eye of the beholder (Recommending!)

2007-12-12T15:36:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The 'ghetto' statements are somewhat true. Although this place is definitely far from TRUE ghetto, there are some 'thug-ish' looking teens on the property. Anyone can take advantage of the "Open Records Act" on the plano.gov site, just email them and they'll send you a list of crimes that have ... [click to read full apartment review]

Reserve at Charles Place: Good and Bad Points (Recommending!)

2007-06-07T11:22:58-06:00

From HonestPerson2007: Hope this will help those considering moving here. If you are looking short term and need garage space this is not a bad place.

Reserve at Charles Place: The Nightmare at Charles Place (Not Recommending)

2007-05-01T15:28:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Where to begin? First, let me say that the part of town is safe and nice and the units are large and the garage space is nice to have. However, those amenities are not worth it based on the negative aspects of this complex.

- The number of children running the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Reserve at Charles Place: Unhappy with Alliance Changes (Not Recommending)

2007-01-12T22:11:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Where to start? Trash is a problem and don't take it to the dumpster on you're own - you'll get fined. Maintenance is slow and have had hundreds of dollars in damage because they can't respond timely. Staff turn over is high. Office hours keep changing. They got rid of ...

Reserve at Charles Place: Something...a little different (Recommending!)

2006-09-11T20:15:50-06:00

From muzicgurl: Ok, so we've all either heard or experienced the horror stories of moving out and getting your deposit back...for most of us, we'd rather be at the dentist, the gynecologist and the tatoo parlor all at once, than to have to deal with management when you get that nasty little ...

2006-08-06T19:06:12-06:00

From planohs: To the previous reviewer, are you serious? You can't even spell and you want to talk about too many "probles" with management.

2006-07-28T22:01:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I believe in giving people credit when they deserve it and since I wrote my last review about the trash situation it has really improved at Reserve.

Reserve at Charles Place: Decent Place So Far... (Recommending!)

2006-07-15T21:26:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We've lived here for almost four months now and so far so good. We have a garage so don't have to worry about vandalism (unless the garage is broken into I guess).

From newplanofamily: I really feel that this website is abused. People write their opinions which is fine but what about all the false representation that they are providing.

Reserve at Charles Place: What a mistake!!! :( (Not Recommending)

2006-06-15T15:29:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overall this place is quite a disappointment. We decided to move here while we adjusted to the area to find out where we wanted to live. Until yesterday I have been tollerable to weak quality of this apartment. I will break it down in no specific order.

2006-06-14T23:58:28-06:00

Reserve at Charles Place: So far....so good.... (Recommending!)

2006-06-07T11:27:34-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The community recently changed owners/management. Previous property managers were courteous and very helpful - let's hope that the new ones are as half as good as the old and that they DO NOT increase everyone's rent.

OK - I agree, there are many unsupervised kids running around, but I am yet ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-05-26T15:44:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: my car has been pooped on, there is no parking, and way too many kids running around unsupervised. If you want cable, make sure your balcony does not face the North.

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for about a year now and overall I'm happy, though I do have some problems with the apartment.

Reserve at Charles Place: Too Many Unsupervised Children (Not Recommending)

2004-11-12T11:17:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Too many unsupervised children roaming around in "packs". They're at the pool without adults and on the playground with big sticks.

Reserve at Charles Place: residents are too noisy (as of 10/2004) (Not Recommending)

2004-10-19T18:00:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is a typical set of buildings in this area, with the advantage of nice floor plans but the drawback of buildings too close to each other. The deposit is unusually high ($200 to $300).

There is currently (October 2004, in case you read this in a distant future) a problem ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-06-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I can not believe all of the negative reviews, especially those calling the Reserve a ghetto property. They must be referring to another property.

From -Anonymous-: I lived here from 2001-2002. It was a nightmare. The property manager never did anything to stop thieves who would steal things from the front of my door.
