What we found

Positano draws residents who value peace and appreciate staff like Sand and Jasmine for their responsiveness. Units are described as clean and quiet. However, recent years have brought serious friction: management has been widely criticized as dismissive during family emergencies (granting only days to clear apartments after resident death), deposits withheld for months, the elevator in Building 7 broken repeatedly, floors failing within months of move-in, and maintenance requests left unresolved. A shift to new management has not restored confidence; rudeness and inattention remain constant complaints.

Seniors here often struggle with the balance between finding a calm home and dealing with an office that residents say lacks compassion. The property appears caught between older residents' fondness for the quietness and newer frustration over uncaring handling of grief, delayed refunds, and physical upkeep that falls short of what a senior community should provide.

Praised for
  • quiet community
  • attentive staff (named: Sand, Jasmine)
  • quick maintenance response
  • clean units
Watch-outs
  • slow elevator maintenance, broken for weeks
  • poor management communication and rudeness
  • harsh lease termination policies for deceased residents
  • delayed security deposits (months overdue)
  • maintenance quality issues (floors bubbling, tub resurfacing)
quiet-communityfriendly-staffmaintenance-slowpoor-communicationunresponsive-office
Best for: Seniors seeking a quiet community with limited family emergencies or transitions.
Think twice if: Families planning to visit frequently, or anyone concerned about management's handling of life events and lease enforcement; maintenance responsiveness is inconsistent.

What's working here

  • Quiet setting
  • Staff responsiveness on leasing (Sand, Jasmine praised)
  • Quick maintenance response when requests get through

Read this before you tour

  • Elevator in Building 7 broken repeatedly since Christmas, months-long repairs
  • Move-in units arrive unfinished (peel-and-stick floors bubbling, tubs requiring resurfacing)
  • Security deposits withheld 4+ months after move-out
  • Management shift from older to new company; complaints persist
  • Tax credit residents report being asked to sign undated documents
  • One resident permitted only 5 days to clear apartment after death of 16-year resident

What residents say

Senior & 55+ Living
Quiet and clean units praised, but management criticized as not compassionate during family illness/death; car towing and limited visitor accommodations frustrate seniors needing family support.
Affordable & Income Restricted Housing
Tax-credit residents report confusion over actual rent calculations, undated lease documents, and delayed refunds; physical condition (floors, tub) falls below expected standard for this price tier.

Your enquiry goes to the DFW Multifamily Property Directory team, who will pass it to The Positano. We only share your details with providers relevant to your request.

Questions we get asked

What happens if I need to move out quickly due to a family emergency?
Recent reviews show the office granted only 5 days to vacate after a resident's death and refused extension requests. Policies appear strict; confirm directly with management before signing.
How long does maintenance take to respond?
One reviewer reported a smoke detector fix the next day. However, other complaints cite months-long delays (elevator broken since Christmas, floor issues unresolved). Response varies significantly.
When will I get my security deposit back?
One resident waited 4 months and has not received a $150 deposit; they are pursuing legal action. Confirm the refund timeline in writing at move-in.

Five-star and one-star reviews split Rosemont at Ash Creek almost evenly. Earlier reviewers praised Julissa, Bruno Beltrán, and the maintenance team for quick fixes and attentive service. Recent reviews paint a sharply different picture: new management staff reportedly ignores emails, missed deposit refunds after three months, and aggressive door-knocking tactics over small balances frightening residents.
