What we found

The Kirby splits hard between two experiences. Reviewers who worked with leasing staff (Christopher, Jeffrey, Monique) call them professional, attentive, and genuinely caring during sign-up-enough to override prior doubts. But residents report a building in chronic disrepair: six water leaks and floods in six months, roaches on day two, a parking garage elevator broken for months, and a maintenance team that promises Monday fixes that never happen. Management reportedly deletes maintenance records from tenant accounts and responds to concerns with defensiveness rather than help.

Historic character and a rooftop pool draw people in; the downtown location and proximity to DART matter. Yet water damage, pest problems, unresponsive repairs, and a tone of indifference once you move in paint a different picture. The split between glowing five-stars and furious one-stars (54% vs. 42% of reviews) suggests the building feels transformed by which staff member you encounter and whether repairs stay done.

Praised for
  • exceptional leasing staff (Christopher, Jeffrey, Monique)
  • historic charm and character
  • responsive maintenance (when it works)
  • rooftop pool with downtown views
  • prime location near downtown and DART
Watch-outs
  • chronic water leaks and flooding
  • persistent roach and pest infestation
  • broken parking garage elevator (months at a time)
  • management dismissive of tenant concerns
  • unfinished repairs and band-aid fixes
  • deleted maintenance records and lease documents
responsive-managementpoor-communicationmaintenance-slowoutdated-unitsfriendly-staffunresponsive-office
Best for: Downtown professionals who tour with staff before committing and can tolerate historic-building quirks.
Think twice if: History of water damage, roach problems, broken elevators for months, and slow repairs. Management tone dismissive of complaints.

Questions we get asked

How often is pest control serviced?

Reviews note the rooftop pool underwent extended repairs, with outdoor furniture unavailable for months after completion and grills frequently running out of propane.

Staff excellence defines the living experience here. Andre, Sarah, Lisa, and Monique consistently go above and beyond-staying after hours for move-ins, solving problems with genuine care, and making residents feel secure and welcome. The building itself impresses: downtown views, well-kept amenities, responsive maintenance, and strong security. Two drawbacks: a few residents report broken hot tubs and elevators left unfixed for weeks, and occasional phone tag with the office. Downtown location means street noise from racing cars, but that's city life, not on management. Most visitors find their leasing experience smooth and the community genuinely welcoming. Apartment sizes range from studios to two-bedrooms. Pet rentals available at $350 upfront plus $20 monthly per animal. Amenities include rooftop pool and spa, fitness center, fire pit lounge, and internet café. Storage units run $50–$100 monthly; garage spots $55–$100 depending on size.

LTV Tower

3.8(76)✓ Google-verified

LTV Tower draws guests with its downtown location and cityscape vistas, and staff like the front desk and event bartenders earn praise for friendliness. However, a significant portion of reviews report roaches, spiders, dirty linens, mold, and poor maintenance; some tenants describe the unit condition as far worse than advertised photos, and management is criticized for slow response to safety problems including unsupervised roof access.
