Resident 2005 - 2006

2/18/2008

I'm amazed that a number of people stated that this community was a good place to live...HARDLY! Tenants living here have no consideration for the serenity and personal space of their neighbors. They constantly argue with no discretion for their privacy or your peace of mind. They blast music from their apartments and cars and they throw garbage all over the property. I actually feel sorry for the groundskeepers when they come in on Monday having to face the level of filth accumulated over the weekend. The noise level, particularly on the weekends, occurs throughout the day because of problems mentioned earlier in this post. The complex doesn't have weight and breed restrictions on pets meaning that there is a high chance that you'll encounter large, vicious looking dogs from time to time. Not to mention that their owners let them "do their business" anywhere on the premises despite having a designated place for such things. Then there is the loud barking coming from these dogs that their owners will not suppress which disturbs the peace. The so called secure and reliable guard post at the front gate actually doesn't have a guard on sight everyday or at night. In fact there is usually no one at the post more than they are present. The plumbing and sewage is terrible. There has been too many times in which the water had been turned off to make repairs. When you use the water, you have to run it for a while to get rid of the brownish red looking water that comes out. Broadband service is not available in the area as a whole nor is Time/Warner cable. You have your choice of either buying a satellite and paying a large deposit to the leasing office or subscribing to some knock off cable service. Phone service repairs and maintenance is manned by another knock off company who doesn't have a clue on what customer satisfaction and quality service means. Not too far from this complex an attempted rape occurred in which local television stations felt it was newsworthy enough to designate a segment on the evening news informing Houstonians about the incident. The mailboxes are in terrible shape and are very filthy. I loathed having to come in contact with them to check for mail they are so unsanitary. I have never used their laundry facilities and likely never will not only because of the dirty conditions but because of the unsavory individuals loitering around the area. Lastly, I would rather have one designated rent that is consistent instead of a special rent that reverts to market price rate (generally $190 extra) if the rent is not paid on time. Ideally, most people want to be able to pay their expenses on time but some times situations occur in which this is not always possible. I would rather live in a community where the rent is the same and one pays late fees in the event that payment has not been made on time rather than pay an additional $190 market rate difference on top of any late fees that have accrued for being late paying the rent. I moved into this complex because I thought I was moving into an acceptable apartment community based on what I saw on the Internet. You can imagine the horror I felt when I was finally able to see the complex in person. Unfortunately at the time I was not in a position to change my mind about moving in so I signed the lease. Once I moved in, I found that I was stuck living there for a while because of limitations on my job and the amount of monthly earnings I was bringing in. This place serves as a reminder to me on what to look out for when researching an apartment community online. I know now that one has to be very cautious about information given to you over the Internet. Unless I actually visit a community for possible residency in person, I will not obligate myself in any way. Good luck in your search.
