Our Review

Reviewers report split experiences. Many praise the SMU Boulevard location, modern spaces, and staff warmth; several named Samantha and Mahogany for genuine care. However, systematic complaints dominate: maintenance backlogs stretch months, office staff feel dismissive of repair requests, elevators fail for weeks, walls transmit noise from nearby bars, roaches return despite pest service, and billing errors linger unresolved. High rent compounds frustration when basic repairs stall or appear cosmetic. Best suited to those prioritizing location over maintenance responsiveness.

Best for: Professionals prioritizing the SMU location and modern aesthetic over maintenance speed.
Think twice if: Maintenance delays of months, elevator downtime, wall thinness, and roach reports suggest repair responsiveness and structural issues warrant direct inspection.

Staff members like Christian, Ashley, Ben, and Adonai earn consistent praise for warmth, patience, and problem-solving, from move-in tours through everyday maintenance. Residents value the quiet grounds, clean units, events, and quick response times, though one tenant reported a contentious security deposit battle over claimed pet damages and concerns about aging appliances and mailroom security. Most residents stay long-term and feel the community welcomes them. A few design quirks (weak shower heads, old ventilation) and pool downtime come up occasionally, but the leasing and staff experience outweighs these minor friction points for the vast majority.

Five-star reviews highlight Bryant, Mandy, and Stephanie's warmth during tours and lease renewals, along with the building's vintage charm and central East Dallas address near Mockingbird Station and the Katy Trail. However, one-star complaints center on serious infrastructure issues: rodent sightings near ground floors, water outages occurring every 5-10 days (with residents notified after service cuts), and leasing office staff occasionally ignoring walk-in prospects or missing booked appointments. Phone responsiveness has also left some prospects unable to connect. Residents who stick around praise the team's community spirit and value proposition, but the combination of building maintenance gaps and erratic service-desk interactions has driven away multiple prospects despite genuine interest in the property itself. Those weighing this location should prioritize speaking with current residents about infrastructure reliability before committing.

Attractive apartments and good leasing staff like Jennifer mask serious operational failures once residents move in. Most complaints center on unresponsive management, recurring fire alarms, pest problems, and security lapses including break-ins and weeks-long access system failures that left doors propped open.
