Our Review

The Alton impresses most residents with attentive staff, a skilled maintenance team, and modern spaces. Leasing consultants Dash Herrera and Jay stand out for thorough, welcoming tours. The building sits steps from Katy Trail in a prime Uptown spot. However, ground-floor and street-facing units suffer from constant traffic noise and thin walls that carry neighbor sounds. Additional fees for mail and parking add up quickly on top of $4,002 monthly rent for a 2-bed.

Praised for
  • friendly, responsive management and leasing staff
  • excellent maintenance team (Jack and Eduardo)
  • modern, well-designed units
  • strong amenities (pool, gym, co-working)
  • walkable location near Katy Trail and Uptown
Watch-outs
  • thin walls and traffic noise (Oaklawn Avenue exposure)
  • mail locker fees charged for non-collection
  • slow deposit returns
  • late-night security access issues
  • neighborhood dog waste problem

Best for: Young professionals seeking modern Uptown living who are not sensitive to traffic noise.
Think twice if: Light sleepers or those in ground-floor units facing Oaklawn Avenue will hear constant traffic and neighbor noise through thin walls.

What Reviewers Like

  • Attentive, named leasing team (Dash, Jay)
  • Responsive maintenance staff (Jack, Eduardo)

  • High-caliber amenities and Uptown location

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Leasing consultant Dash Herrera praised for thorough tours and responsiveness
  • Maintenance staff Jack and Eduardo noted for quick emergency response (under 10 minutes) and personal care
  • Mail locker system charges daily fees if residents don't collect mail promptly
  • Garage parking ($15/month) and reserved spots ($75-100/month) charged separately from rent
  • Pet fee $400 one-time plus $30/month pet rent

What Stands Out

Luxury
Modern design, high-end amenities, and responsive staff create a premium feel, but thin walls undercut the luxury promise in street-facing and adjacent units.

The Flamingo

The Flamingo

2.8(18)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

A polarized complex where two staff members, Anthony Robinson and David, earned strong praise for responsiveness; the location and all-bills-paid option drew repeat mention. Yet recent and earlier reviews document paper-thin walls, maintenance delays stretching weeks, a leasing team that ignored calls and emails, and persistent indoor air and cleanliness issues. Safety concerns and neighborhood conditions appear serious enough to deter many.

3.3(14)

Shelby 2707 divides tenants sharply: half rate it excellent, half report serious problems. Long-standing issues include broken air conditioning during Texas summers, unanswered maintenance requests, and sparse office availability, though individual staff like Stephanie earn praise for their help. Reviewers warn that moving in involves confusion and staff absence, and repairs take weeks or months.

Radius Turtle Creek

4.1(57)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most residents praise responsive management, especially Sarah and Dan, and the walkable Uptown location near Katy Trail and restaurants. The community feels safe and quiet with a strong dog park. However, a small number report serious issues: a persistent roach problem, unsecured garage access leading to car theft, misleading deposit charges, and pet owners not cleaning up after animals in common areas. Finishes are dated, and sound travels between units.
