Our Review

Staff warmth masks deeper operational strain. Leasing teams (Frida, Delia, River, Chase) and some maintenance members (Angel, Juan, Jose, Dru) earn consistent praise for going the extra mile. Yet the property is flagged repeatedly for failed AC units (some 20+ years old, posting 91° indoors on 100° days), water damage requiring roof repairs mid-lease, green pools left unserviced, and broken gates standing open for months. Residents report placing 50+ maintenance calls, weeks of no response, and being told budget constraints prevent fixes. The property management firm Greystar is named as misaligned with resident needs. Meanwhile, billing disputes have prompted residents to hire outside contractors or pay overlapping rent to escape early. High rents ($4,000–$5,000+ monthly) collide sharply with deteriorating infrastructure.

Praised for
  • friendly leasing and office staff
  • responsive maintenance team members (when engaged)
  • desirable Oak Lawn location near dining and parks
  • amenities and unit finishes
Watch-outs
  • chronic AC failures and inefficiency
  • slow or unresponsive maintenance; work orders sit for weeks
  • water damage, mold, and roof leaks
  • poor management communication and lack of urgency
  • pest infestations and pool neglect
  • billing errors (overcharges); NDA pressure to suppress reviews
  • broken gates and security gaps

Best for: Professionals prioritizing location and new-unit aesthetics over maintenance reliability.
Think twice if: History of AC failures, water damage, slow repairs, and management unresponsiveness-especially concerning if you require rapid maintenance or live on upper floors prone to roof leaks.

What Reviewers Like

  • prime Oak Lawn location near Uptown restaurants and parks
  • individual unit finishes (stainless steel, fireplaces, kitchen islands)
  • some staff members (leasing, select maintenance) highly attentive

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Named staff earning praise: leasing (Frida, Delia, River, Chase), maintenance (Angel, Juan, Jose, Dru, Freddie)
  • AC units in some units 20+ years old; one resident's unit reached 91° indoors during 100° heat
  • AC replacement attempted three times in two months without resolving issues
  • Roof replacement and simultaneous second project created ongoing contractor noise and blocked parking
  • Gates broken for one month with no communication; left open three months in another instance
  • One resident called emergency maintenance 4 times between 10 am–3 pm before response, with no arrival notification
  • Work orders marked 'in progress' but showing no actual progress; residents report placing 50+ calls for single issues
  • Roof leaks addressed by spray-painting over damage rather than structural repair

What Stands Out

Luxury
Premium finishes and location offset by infrastructure failures and unresponsive maintenance.
Affordable Housing
Residents earning enough to afford $4,000–$5,000+ rents report feeling overcharged for units with chronic functional issues.

Are there any specific maintenance issues I should know about?

Recent maintenance calls get fast, friendly attention from staff like Joey and Joe, and leasing agent Kyera consistently earns praise for making the move-in process smooth. Grounds are kept neat and the location near Uptown draws strong favor. Older complaints about slow maintenance and fee disputes surface occasionally, but the current team's responsiveness suggests those may not reflect today's experience. The property offers luxury amenities including a resort-style pool, smart home tech, and gated parking across State Thomas, Uptown, and adjacent neighborhoods. Standard apartment-living costs apply: $85 application fee, $200-$400 deposit, $18 community fee, plus pet charges starting at $500 one-time and $20 monthly per pet.
