Resident 2007 - 2008

8/4/2008

Here it goes.. This is an honest review of a resident who's been here for 1 year and totally regretted moving to this property. To give a fair opinion, I'm going to start with the positives. Pros: 1. Location. It is situated on Voss & Westheimer. A ten minute drive to the Galleria, a short drive to Memorial Park, and about a 30 minute commute to downtown. 2. Amenities It has a heated pool, so that you can have a swim all year round. Tennis courts, as well as a cool beach volleyball court. 3. An elevator Its nice to have an elevator when moving out of the property! Hmm.. I think there's about it. Here goes the Negatives... and its a long list. 1. Community There is a huge indian community at Park at Voss. I reckon at least 30% of the residents are -------. While I have nothing against racial diversity, the indian community do have specific habits that you might not find compatible with your living style. First, they love cooking curry. This is not a problem if the apartment has a good ventilation system. Unfortunately, the smell of curry permeates through the AC systems, the corridor and almost everywhere. Sometimes the smell just keeps me up all night. 2. Cockroach. This property really is a cockroach fest. It could due to their love of curry, for I don't cook at home, keep my apartment clean and still find 1 cockroach per week. No kidding! 3. Crime There had been a series of burglaries and car stolen over the past few months. Go the Houston police to get the detail. 2400 S Voss relates to building A (which has the highest crime rate among the buildings). 4. Maintenance Back to the cockroach problem. I kept reminding the leasing office about it, but nothing was done. There was once I had a toilet bowl malfunction which I'm sure qualifies as an emergency. But they took 1 week to respond! By which I've already DIY the issue. 5. Floorplan The walls are super thin. I can hear my neighbors watching Hindi movies or running in the corridor at 11pm at night while I'm trying to sleep. This together with the Motel 6 building layout meant you have little privacy. 6. Toilet/Shower The toilet and shower are basically one unit. The bathtub must be made for midgets. The shower is so low, and the bathtub so tiny, an average 5 10' person has to bend over for a shampoo, and wouldn't be able to lie down on the bathtub. 7. Money suckers! Don't ever sign the surety deposit. That is linked to a $1000 bond. My carpet was stained when my lease ended and they charged me $500 for cleaning fees. Other crazy charges includes: $200 trash removal fee, $200 mold fee. I've already cleaned it as best as I could but they said it has to be "professional clean". They are threatening me that the surety deposit is linked to a $1000 bond that would be posted to my credit if I don't pay. 8. Management While I must admit that some are nice, but Erica really gives an attitude when you talk to her. She doesn't care about your problem and always have a condescending tone. She does seem to have good relationship with her manager, which explains why she's still employed. 9. Overpriced Given the above, and that it doesn't have a W/D. It defintely is overpriced! The filthy laundry facility and inconsiderate neighbors who throw your clothes out could make it number 10 on my list, but I could go on and on... Wow, what a long list. Conclusion? I do not recommend the property. It is overpriced and you just feel like you are living in a third world country
