Our Review

The Drake on Summit started strong for many early residents, offering modern units and quick maintenance, but has deteriorated sharply in recent years. Current tenants report pervasive cleanliness problems, a broken trash valet system that charges fines for non-pickups, and recurring security failures including car break-ins and pest infestations. Mold, appliance breakdowns, and fire alarm false alarms go unresolved for weeks while an AI phone system prevents residents from reaching humans. Long-term residents describe feeling unsafe and ignored by a management team that communicates poorly, enforces move-out charges aggressively, and refuses to address water damage or animal entry points.

The complex's amenities and central location near Sundance Square remain attractive, but the gap between promised luxury and actual living conditions has become stark. Residents who stayed more than two years largely report that the property declined noticeably after 2023, with maintenance staff turnover and growing apathy replacing the responsiveness earlier tenants experienced.

  • cold and dismissive management and front-desk staff
  • AI phone system blocks communication
  • cleanliness decline in common areas
  • gate and door system constantly broken
  • thin walls and noise
  • speeding and unsafe parking garage
  • dishwasher and appliance failures
  • delayed maintenance responses
  • aggressive security deposit deductions

Best for: Newcomers who prioritize location and finishes over long-term reliability.
Think twice if: Anyone planning to stay more than a year or concerned about security, cleanliness, and maintenance responsiveness should carefully weigh complaints about declining property conditions and unresolved pest and water damage issues.

What Reviewers Like

  • Modern, spacious floor plans with updated finishes
  • Resort-style amenities (pool with tanning ledge, sky deck, cabanas)
  • Central Fort Worth location near cultural venues and dining

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Named leasing staff Chris credited for fast, positive move-in experience
  • Valet trash service changed pricing and pickup rules without notice; residents report fines for missed collections despite no pickup occurring
  • Mold remediation via NTX Painting painted over active mold without containment or tenant notification of ticket closure
  • Security deposit disputes: residents charged $500 in deductions matching exact combined deposit amounts, with limited photo documentation or receipt acceptance
  • Electronic lock failures on units; tenants told repair is their responsibility despite leasing office ownership
  • Fire alarm system replaced once but continues to malfunction, sometimes triggering at 4 a.m.
  • Parking garage gates break at least monthly; speeding residents have caused multiple car collisions and near-misses
  • Dishwasher repairs take 3 weeks with no contact; other units took 2 months

What Stands Out

Luxury
Units arrive clean and well-appointed initially but deteriorate; appliances fail frequently; thin walls; security and maintenance systems fail residents despite premium pricing.

Taylor and the leasing team earn consistent praise for guiding renters through moves with patience and responsiveness. The property combines modern finishes with a restored warehouse aesthetic in a walkable Fort Worth core, drawing residents across age ranges who appreciate the pickleball courts, study spaces, and proximity to jobs and culture. Maintenance staff like Chris handle requests promptly and thoroughly. Residents report the building and grounds stay well-kept, and the office team offers ongoing support after move-in, contributing to a sense of community rather than just transience.

Linda and select maintenance staff (Ryan, Noel) earn strong praise for responsiveness and genuine care; some residents moved in on shortened timelines after management intervention. However, deep structural problems persist: water damage and mold from failing fire suppression systems, widespread pest infiltration, broken gates and elevators, and clogged trash areas reflect years of underinvestment and multiple ownership changes. Multiple reviews describe noisy neighbors, missing window screens, and icy deposit-to-collections practices. Staff professionalism splits sharply: highly praised in some interactions, described as rude or dismissive in others. The property, originally built around 1998, became 51% RAD-owned in 2019 with promises of capital improvements that have not materialized. Residents report management prioritizing occupancy over long-term upkeep. One long-term resident noted recent improvements under the current maintenance team (over 12 months in place), but structural issues (2021 freeze damage, ceiling leaks affecting multiple units, inadequate drainage) continue unresolved.
