I lived here from 2009 to 2011, so I won't speak to what it looks like, management, etc but I can speak to the things that mattered to me.
I have some great memories here. The community in the middle (where I was) is a group of people who have lived there for a long time. If I had to guess, many of them still live there. Great people.
Parking was never an issue for me on the bigger lot. That small lot (off Brown, I think) can get full but the complex is so concentrated that no one really walks far.
The layout hasn't changed much I would bet, and my 2 bedroom was perfect because it was a bit bigger and had some extra room. The Main room was just slightly bigger, but I recall easily fitting my Queen bed, 2 nightstands, decor and a TV on the wall.
The patios are small, but can fit 2 chairs. I really enjoyed that patio and a nice beer on a warm summer evening.
The location was probably my favorite. Right behind Brookshire's in Wylie, and at an intersection, I felt like it was convenient to anywhere I wanted to go. At the time I attended Collin College and worked at Sachse High, and both drives were really a breeze. Traffic has probably increased since, but you can't beat the quick access to Sachse, Garland, Murphy and Plano.
The best thing is that it's practically in a neighborhood, so it was exceptionally quiet.
I can't recall how much I paid (wouldn't matter now) but it was very affordable. Sadly, I had to break my lease (and paid a fee to do so) and they were very understanding and worked with me without doing shady things. A different time.
It's funny, for where I was in my life at that time it was perfect for me. So mamy significant days of my life happened here, and I didn't even know it.
If you are reading this, and interested in making a change in your life - good luck. You got this. And this might just be the place to do it if you are seeking quiet, affordability (hopefully) and to be able to access various cities quickly. read more
