Our Review

Leasing staff Courtney Johnson and manager Brett Doody earn consistent praise for attentiveness during move-in. Multiple residents report spacious units, good amenities, and fast maintenance responses. However, recent complaints detail AC failures requiring emergency protocol delays, noise bleeding through floors, phantom parking charges unrefunded, and security concerns after vehicle theft.

The Knox-Henderson location and resort pool draw tenants, but the $2,600+ monthly rent for one-bedroom units doesn't align with reported maintenance gaps and building envelope issues. Newer five-star reviews cluster around the leasing experience; one-star reviews from recent renters flag systemic problems tied to upkeep and billing accuracy.

Praised for
  • Leasing staff warmth and professionalism
  • Responsive management and quick maintenance
  • Prime Knox-Henderson location and walkability
  • Spacious units and quality amenities
Watch-outs
  • AC failures requiring after-hours workarounds
  • Thin walls and noise from neighbors
  • Parking charges without service, refund delays
  • Security gaps; vehicle theft not addressed
  • Overflowing trash in resident areas

Best for: Renters prioritizing location and leasing support over building maintenance track record.
Think twice if: Consider elsewhere if quiet, climate-controlled, and secure parking matter; recent tenants report AC issues, thin walls, and unresolved theft concerns.

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Courtney Johnson: leasing staff praised for professionalism and helpfulness across 12+ reviews spanning one year
  • Brett Doody: manager noted for responsiveness and community care in long-term resident feedback
  • AC maintenance bottleneck: residents cannot self-drain AC pans; after-hours failures not treated as emergency, leaving renters without cooling overnight or weekends

  • Vehicle security incident: resident reported vehicle theft in garage with management inaction

What Stands Out

Luxury
Resort pool and fitness center praised; thin walls and AC reliability undermine premium positioning.
Affordable Housing
$2,600+ monthly rent exceeds typical affordable-housing thresholds; billing and maintenance gaps compound affordability concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know about AC maintenance and after-hours breakdowns?
AC units require maintenance staff to drain interior pans; residents cannot handle this themselves. After-hours or weekend failures are not treated as emergencies, so you may wait until business hours or Monday for repair, leaving units without cooling.
Is designated parking included or charged separately?
The property offers designated parking, but one recent resident reported being charged $500 for spots never assigned. Verify parking terms in writing before signing and confirm no charges appear for services you don't use.
How are noise and soundproofing between units?
Multiple residents report thin floors and ceilings that transmit neighbor sounds clearly, including schedules and activities. If quiet is important, ask about unit location (higher floors, interior placement away from main corridors) during the tour.

Carrara at Cole Apartments

4.1(123)✓ Google-verified

Staff like Tyler, Jayla, and Victoria earn consistent praise for professionalism and helpfulness, and long-term residents value the Knox-Henderson location and community events. However, recent reviews flag pest infestation, slow emergency response times, persistent plumbing failures, poor noise isolation, and frustrating billing practices. Management communication gaps and unresolved maintenance issues have soured some tenants' experiences despite initial satisfaction.

Slate at Cole Apartments

4.4(98)✓ Google-verified

Most residents find Slate at Cole a welcoming community with engaged staff who genuinely know their neighbors. The Knox-Henderson location steps from Katy Trail and downtown dining is a major draw, and long-term tenants consistently renew leases. Recent reviews underscore strong management from Tyler, Brenna, and office staff like Virginia. However, a subset of ground-floor residents report ongoing pest infestations and mold that management has not fully resolved. This appears tied to the building's age and can affect your lease decision if pest sensitivity is a concern.

Knox Heights

4.0(112)✓ Google-verified

Five-star reviewers praise Knox Heights for its clean, attractive building and the warmth of named staff members who handle leasing and maintenance swiftly. However, significant complaints center on a strict guest parking system that issues $90 tickets for missed QR code scans, unauthorized bank withdrawals, and disputed move-out fees that residents say were unjustified and unresolved by management.
