    Thanks so much for the kind review. Yes, the property was sold in August 2015 and new professional management brought in. We are unfairly saddled with the prior owner's reviews on this site, but you'll notice that since our purchase, reviews here have been VERY positive. We work hard at providing the best service and best value to our hard-working residents who deserve the exceptional living that Las Velas at Hillcroft delivers.

      Thank you for your review! We want to put service to our residents #1 and have worked hard on our technology (online rent payments, mobile work order requests, text communications) and have had many, many property improvements too. In December, we installed new laundry machines with card readers (no more coins!) and should have new high-speed Comcast internet/cable/telephone available to all units January 2017. Look forward to continue serving you as a resident, Daisy!

        Thank you for the kind review! We're looking forward to having you enjoy Las Velas living. Hillcroft is a main street through Houston and it means we're close to great transportation. Even so, Las Velas is very quiet once on the property. Remind us on move-in day and we'll take a picture in front of our new front sign!

          We appreciate your positive review! The renovation at Las Velas at Hillcroft is nearing a close, as we finish up the pool this week. You'll see some additional changes to the mailboxes and office soon too, as well as playground equipment onsite. We've had multiple people comments about the all-new air conditioning units. Each is state-of-the-art energy efficient and each apartment home comes with a programmable thermostat that allows you to program how much your AC is used. We've had residents tell us that they are now saving anywhere from $40 per month on electric to $160 per month on electric as a result of the new ACs! That's important in hot Houston, especially during the summer! Come check us out and see what Las Velas living is all about!

              In August 2015, the old Candlewick Apartments was sold and new professional management installed. At the same time, a large renovation project was started to, among other things, replace all the old siding, replace all of the roofs, replace all of the old heat and air conditioning units with new, energy efficient central heat and air (with programmable thermostats to further save on electricity). We also replaced the old hot water boilers with a new energy efficient "on demand" system that pushes hot water out to the property and then pulls it back in, with the result being hot water at your tap or shower in just seconds! New screening standards have been instituted, parking permits issued to residents in good standing, and bad behavior is not tolerated. We are now known as Las Velas at Hillcroft and have a GREAT community of happy residents who work hard during the day and come home to a quiet, attractive community at night. We are centrally located - our location could hardly be better! - and zoned to Bellaire High School, one of the best high schools in town. We welcome you to stop by and see for yourself!

                                    As of January 2016, this review seems like it's from a parallel universe (new ownership and management since August 2015). Las Velas at Hillcroft (formerly known as Candlewick) screens all new residents and denies those who do not fit the criteria. We do a background check on all renewals of residents we have not screened before. We care about our residents and do not tolerate illegal behavior in our community. Our maintenance staff is experienced, customer service oriented, and they work hard every day to make our community great. Our management and leasing staff is friendly, professional and care about this community. Just this month, we completed a complete upgrade of every apartment home's heating and air conditioning units, which are now energy efficient and have programmable thermostats, both of which make them reliable and save our residents money on their electric bill each month. Las Velas at Hillcroft is about as opposite as this review as possible and we hope you have a chance to call or stop by and see for yourself. We'd be glad to welcome you!

                                                The management means well, but they are not very discriminating who they rent to. Could be a half-way decent complex if not for those tenants who trash the grounds, throw beer bottles hither and yon, garbage into the pool, etc.
