    The parking is terrible here and security.

      Stay Away

      Horrible place to stay- high water bill, maintenance slow, building falling apart, unsafe, rude new leasing management. And the rent is higher than it should be. I am looking forward to moving as soon as I can.

        Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. As you know, the water bills are allocated based on square footage and occupancy of the home, so bills will fluctuate month to month. We have vastly improved the wait time for work orders, but still have work to do. We also have some new team members, myself included, that are committed to delivering great customer service and help continue to improve the property overall. Rents are definitely commensurate with the area and we have some beautifully renovated units coming available very soon. Please let me know if you would like to discuss any issues you may have in firther detail. I can be reached via email at managerbriarforest@abbeyresidential.com or by phone at 281-957-6517.

          Thank you for your review. However, I want to clarify a few things. Crime can take place in any neighborhood at any time. There is no way to ensure that any place will be crime free. However, we do provide Courtesy Officers, cameras, and limited access gates to help deter potential criminal activity. Second, is the assumption that maintenance is committing the crime. All of our employees go through a background check prior to employment and we have not received one accusation that maintenance has been a part of any criminal activity. If you would like to discuss actual complaints that you have, I would be happy to sit with you to discuss. I can be reached via email at managerbriarforest@abbeyresidential.com or by phone at 281-957-6517. Thank you!- Kristin

          Maintenance is a joke. Close work orders without fixing stuff. Never answer phone. Come to do work orders with no keys and never come back. There's roaches. Manager lies to you about dumb stuff. They never follow through with what they say. Water bill isā€¦Ā See More >

            My name is Kristin Settles and I am the new property manager at Abbey at Briar Forest since July 2023. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I have been actively working with the maintenance team and we have even hired additional support to clear out work orders as the summer did have us behind. As you know, when you have a large property, work orders can quickly stack up. However, we have been successful in getting that number down to a manageable number. The water bill is allocated so it is based off of square footage and occupancy. There is never a set amount, and yes it does fluctuate. Again, we are making a turn in the right direction, but should you need further assistance or want to discuss issues you may have, you may email me at managerbriarforest@abbeyresidential.com or call me at 281-957-6517. Thank you!

                                            I recently toured the property and I was very impressed with everyone there including Maria. She was very nice and was very helpful. We are deciding very soon what we wanna do but I do know that Abbey will probably become our new home.
