Our Review

Tesoro at 12 was once praised for responsive staff and smooth move-ins, but recent management changes have caused tenants serious problems. Staff turnover, delayed maintenance fixes, and poor communication now define the experience. Many tenants explicitly long for the previous team, particularly a staff member named Romie who was consistently cited for professionalism and problem-solving.

Residents report pest infestations (roaches and stray cats), security gaps (vehicle break-ins, inadequate lighting), and maintenance requests that sit unresolved for weeks. New management appears dismissive of tenant concerns even after multiple complaints. The rental office and maintenance teams lack coordination, leaving tenants frustrated and unsafe.

Praised for
  • responsive staff (Romie/Romy era)
  • comfortable, well-appointed units
  • helpful move-in experience
  • strong maintenance when staffed properly
Watch-outs
  • new management unresponsive and rude
  • maintenance delays and poor quality
  • pest infestation (roaches, stray cats)
  • inadequate security and lighting
  • staff turnover and inconsistency

Think twice if: Anyone prioritizing responsive management and quick maintenance should wait for evidence of change; current turnover and delays are severe.

What Reviewers Like

  • comfortable unit layouts with patios
  • strong management under previous staff
  • proximity to Downtown Dallas and major employers

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Previous staff member Romie was consistently praised for professionalism and tenant advocacy
  • Current maintenance response times range from weeks to unresolved; previous management achieved same-day fixes
  • Security issues: vehicles broken into multiple times over 3+ years, inadequate outdoor lighting
  • Pest control failures: roach exterminator no-shows, stray cat population overrunning grounds
  • Staff member Shante (leasing) and new office workers reported as rude; Shuntay Davis praised for attention to detail

What Stands Out

Luxury
Units are comfortable and well-appointed, but recent management overhaul has eroded tenant trust and maintenance quality.

Are there security guards or cameras?
Residents report no visible security presence. Multiple tenants cited vehicle break-ins and inadequate outdoor lighting as ongoing safety concerns.

Five-star reviewers from a year ago praised Lily, maintenance worker Carlos, and the amenities; recent one-star reviews describe a sharp decline following management change. The new office does not answer phones, residents report car break-ins and package theft, ceiling leaks flood kitchens, and one tenant's deposit was never returned despite leaving the unit clean with no arrears.

Most reviewers praise the leasing team (Rosa, Nataly) and maintenance crew (Christian, Levi) for quick turnarounds and helpful service. The grounds stay clean, the pool runs well, and rents feel fair. However, long-term residents report persistent water leaks unresolved for years despite repeated requests, creating unsafe conditions for families. Management responses to these issues remain slow and dismissive.

Reviewers consistently praise fast maintenance and clean units, particularly under property manager Victor, who has earned repeated mentions for responsiveness and community engagement. Parking is tight and pest control requires follow-up; staff turnover has been frequent, though current management has stabilized resident satisfaction.
