Our Review

1900 Elm drew loyal residents for years with strong staff like Jodie and Monica, historic loft character, and downtown convenience within walking distance of restaurants and transit. A management transition in May 2026 from RPM to UNT management has triggered a dramatic decline: the resident portal went offline with no working alternative, maintenance requests languish unaddressed, elevators break and stay broken, common areas smell of pet urine, and the office closes during posted hours. Multiple residents report the office remains unresponsive to lease document requests and communication has ceased entirely. This shift has driven tenants to break leases and damaged what residents describe as once a genuinely enjoyable community.

The property retains appeal for those prioritizing location and historic charm over current operational consistency. Parking costs $95-150 per month, units lack in-unit washer/dryers, and high electricity bills are common due to limited insulation. No freight elevator means moving large furniture up narrow stairs. The building sits in the Dallas Downtown Historic District with art deco styling and access to green space and Discovery District. If prior management is restored or replaced with a more attentive team, the underlying property could recover its earlier reputation.

Praised for
  • historic architecture and downtown location
  • responsive maintenance and staff (under prior management)
  • professional leasing process and welcoming approach
  • affordably priced for downtown lofts
  • strong sense of community
Watch-outs
  • management transition failures since UNT takeover (May 2026)
  • non-functional resident portal and rent payment system
  • poor responsiveness and communication breakdown
  • declining cleanliness and maintenance
  • broken elevators and accessibility issues
  • slow deposit returns
  • no freight elevator for large furniture

What Reviewers Like

  • historic art deco architecture and character units
  • walking distance to downtown dining, Discovery District, and DART rail
  • affordable pricing relative to downtown luxury market
  • formerly responsive maintenance team (prior management)

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Jodie and Monica were praised for responsiveness and attentiveness; both departed or are inactive under current management
  • Wendy C. noted for helpful leasing process
  • Carrie (Asst. Manager) previously praised for patience and care
  • Maintenance requests under prior management often completed within one day
  • Parking reserved through front office for guests
  • Elevator access limited to floors 1-6 in 8-story building

What Stands Out

Luxury
historic art deco architecture and downtown location appealing; management transition has severely damaged operational reputation since May 2026
Affordable Housing
positioned as relatively affordable for downtown Dallas; pricing and deposit practices now under scrutiny due to management communication failures

Leasing agents Tyler, Isaiah, Christi, Anthony, and Jared earn consistent praise for patient, knowledgeable tours and follow-up. However, a stark divide emerges: long-term residents report deteriorating building conditions, flooded units with poor crisis communication, inadequate cleaning, broken amenities, and staff treating tenants as difficult to reach. Newer visitors encounter hospitality; residents find management unresponsive. The building's structural issues are serious. One tenant endured flooding, was charged a $250 admin fee, and described staff (particularly a manager named Roberto) as dismissive when language barriers existed. Another resident reported The Merc tower condemned, stolen gym equipment, no security surveillance, and roaches. Leasing shines; property management lags far behind.

Two faces define the experience here. Specific staff members-chiefly Isaiah and Christi-earn consistent praise for patience, honesty, and genuine effort to resolve problems, with residents calling them the backbone of the operation. Yet structural issues undermine that goodwill. Maintenance backlogs stretch months (AC repairs in summer heat, peeling bathtubs from day one going unfixed), pest control fails, security gaps permit unauthorized access, and office communication often contradicts itself. Staff turnover appears to have loosened consistency recently.

Tour experience and leasing staff receive consistent praise, but resident satisfaction drops sharply after move-in. Maintenance requests frequently go unaddressed or take weeks; elevators fail regularly; HVAC problems recur monthly; and water damage in walls has sat unrepaired for months. Security deposit handling has frustrated recent departures through delays, errors, and poor communication. Staff quality varies widely by role: some front-desk and leasing team members are exceptionally helpful, while management responsiveness has deteriorated since a recent leadership change.
