Our Review

Residents report severe, ongoing maintenance failures spanning washers (out over a year), repeated AC breakdowns (four times in one month alone), and a pool closed for two years. Management does not follow through on repair promises, and rent has increased despite deteriorating conditions.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Watch-outs
  • washers broken for over a year
  • AC failures repeatedly
  • pool closed two years
  • no maintenance responsiveness
  • cockroach infestation
  • rent increases despite poor conditions

Think twice if: Maintenance responsiveness is a serious problem; AC, washers, and pool repairs go unfixed for months.

Recent reviews split sharply between residents who praise specific staff members for swift repairs and those describing months without air conditioning or hot water. The sharp divide reflects a management transition roughly a year ago: newer five-star reviews highlight Alma, Carlos, and Crystal handling problems promptly, while established one-star reviews detail systematic neglect of aging buildings, uncontrolled pest issues, and company resistance to repairs unless forced by city code compliance. The business owns older historic properties marketed on charm and affordability, but infrastructure maintenance remains deeply inconsistent. Staff competence matters here: when a single attendant like Armando or Crystal is reached, fixes happen within hours. The real problem is the company does not answer phones, ignores repeated work orders, and only moves when residents invoke city code compliance or break leases with legal help. One recent reviewer noted Dallas Code Compliance sees them as a chronic problem company.

Residents value the peaceful, well-maintained setting and quick maintenance response. One significant complaint alleges management handled a service dog accommodation slowly and possibly dishonestly after initially denying it.
