Resident 2010 - 2011

5/16/2011

I am a UT student that lived here for the 2010-2011 academic year. It's not the Taj Mahal, but it's a great deal for the price ($495/mo for a decent-sized efficiency), and they run a good business. It's also at a very convenient location for UT students, as both the 101 and 1L/1M bus stop right outside the apartment so you can get to school easily in 20 minutes (not much different than walking to campus from West Campus). It's also right across the street from IM Fields which is nice. I have nothing but good things to say about the management, as both Al and Sonja were always very helpful. All service requests were taken care of in less than 24 hours (in one instance in as little as 3 hours). In addition, I was even allowed to end my lease 2 months early with no penalty at all, which in my opinion was very kind. The tenants are a mix primarily of students, families, and older folks. My neighbors for the first few months argued loudly on occasion, but they moved out. That was my only neighbor problem, and it was nothing a little music wouldn't drown out. For the first few months, I did have a moderate problem with roaches, but in an older apartment complex in Texas, that seems a given. I found that cleaning up after myself was the best way to resolve that problem. In addition, the management launched a pretty big campaign to wipe them out in the entire complex around October 2010, and that greatly helped. During my stay, the refrigerator leaked, the A/C leaked and the garbage disposal went out. As mentioned before though, both were fixed in less than a day. It was exactly what I was looking for as a short-term tenant. It's an older complex and there aren't many bells and whistles (although they do have 2 small pools), but it's well-managed, well-priced, and it gets a good recommendation from me.
