I have to say the only reason I give a one star is because I have to and because the staff is friendly and nice within their limits. I lived there for 8 super long months and I will have to say that I was in constant fear for my life. I have never in my life lived with this fear. I am originally from Miami, where I moved back too now with my family. This place, ashford court, gave me the worse impression possible of Houston. I have never had to sleep every single night with my gun outside the holster and a bullet in the chamber at all times ready for anything to break right into my door at night. On Xmas day, I arrive home to my house broken into and everything gone. My wife who was right about to pop (9 months pregnet) having to go through all that. I was going to wait for my contract to finish and I was so in fear of my life already, not only due to this incident, that I had to leave several months before. In no way did they help me giving me the excuse that I wasn't the only one that hot robbed and everyone else had to pay to break lease as well. Yet, I ask the security and I was definitely the only one that got robbed. Well "security", they are never there. Xmas day people walk out my house with a 65" tv, playstations, labtops, etc and no one sees anything. Yet, I blame myself for being a nice neighbor and letting a neighbor in my house for the Thanksgiving holiday. However, there was really no sympothy for my wife, my unborn child at the time, and myself. I was forced to pay my whole break of lease and my father who lived several apartments away lost his deposit after he didn't break lease, because of a whole bunch of things they made up. First, in the kitchen there was always a major leak, the walls breaking behind the refrigerator. It will take weeks for them to come fix it. Me, I still owe them like a thousand something. I even left the place about 2 weeks before what I was suppose to leave and nothing. They always have people in line for an apartment, but they couldn't help. These are people who probably don't read or believe in reviews. I have never written a review. I think only when people are pissed they write reviews. I've had business of my own and know what that's like. But I feel so much fear and hate towards this place that I will like to tell everyone, trust me, DO NOT DO IT!!! They didn't want to help me with the cost after the hell I went through, so I personally will like to tell you don't believe anything about this place and spend the money for a better area/ apartments. Don't let the okay looking pool fool you, this is a dangerous place, especially for a family. The cops even told me after they robbed me to leave ASAP. TRUST ME DON'T DO IT!!!! Look elsewhere, I have never written a review in my life, only the good ones I use to write for my company as many company's do, but I definitely have to write this one! Liz and the staff are great! But they work with the area they have and their budget, no security 24hrs on staff etc, bad place to live in! Nice staff, but dangerous place!!!!!!!! The assistant manager the day I went in to say what happen to me on Xmas day, she didn't even ask me how me and my family where, I don't know her name but I wouldn't call someone out like that anyways. Liz and Wendy are awesome, but the place is horrible to the 100th power and you will fear.
