Resident 2011 - 2012

These were my first apartments upon moving to Texas. I signed a lease rather last minute and sight unseen. It wasn't the greatest place in the world, but it wasn't the worst. I always like to review with a pros and cons list: PRO- Unit size: I had a 2/2 and it was pretty big. Perfect for roommate situations especially. Both rooms were the same size and had their own bathrooms. Vaulted ceilings were nice, porch was spacious, plenty of windows and natural light. Location: Close to everything. Right off of Westheimer, Beltway 8 is just a couple blocks away, there's a shopping across the street with a Target, Randalls, Ross, and a few other shops. Although it is close to so much, it's also set back far enough from the street that it's not super noisy. Pets: Pet friendly and allows large dogs. I have a 75lb boxer mix so it's always a challenge to find apts that allow big dogs. That's really the primary reason I decided on Walnut Terrace. Safety: Thought I would touch on this briefly. All apartments are going to have issues, cops called occasionally, etc so I can't say nothing happened here. Just before I moved out, I did see someone's car on blocks, but to my knowledge, that was an isolated incident. Other than that, I never saw or heard of any crimes at all. I am out walking my dog at all times of day and night and I honestly never felt unsafe. No noise complaints either. CON- Bugs: Crazy bad, uncontrollable roach infestations. There were colonies of roaches everywhere, even living in the bedrooms and closets. We had them spray multiple times, laid boric acid powder in all the lower cabinets, sealed cracks with gel, and put roach motels all over the place but it barely helped. Parking: There is none. At all. Insulation: Also none. Our electric bills were like $200/mo even set on 79 degrees because the walls are thin and there are cracks all around the door and the windows don't seal shut that great. At the time I didn't know it was that bad, but now that I'm somewhere else paying half of what I used to, it made me realize how much money we were wasting. So that's my run down. I didn't deal much with maintenance or the office staff so I can't speak on those issues. I minded my own business and paid my rent and had no problems at all. I did vote no recommendation, however, based on the roach problems and terrible parking.
