I began hanging out on this property in the spring of 2025. My girlfriend was already in a lease, and when my lease at another property ended in the summer, I joined the lease with her. Later in the fall we signed up for another yearly term. We plan on signing for another term this coming fall. This is my honest review after living here for sometime.
My family and I live in a 2 bedroom 1 bath unit. It's very spacious with plenty of closet/cabinet/storage space. Upon moving in, the unit was clean and all ready to go. Appliances are modern and in working order. The dining, kitchen, and living area have hard flooring (similar to a faux-wood tiling), and the bedrooms are carpeted. The master bedroom has large dual closets and access to the patio via a sliding glass door. There are the perfect amount of windows in the unit allowing plenty of natural sunlight inside if desired. The cooling and heating system work great! No swamp coolers here! Stove/oven is electric. Downstairs units come with a spacious gated private porch, privacy brick wall, and outdoor storage closet w/ lock.
Rent: For what this complex offers, I think the rent is very fair. I've toured other properties in the area with similar amenities of similar quality, and they cost more. Utilities are paid through the property with the exception of electric. The utilities paid through the complex aren't very high at all. Rent can be paid in two's through the FLEX app, which I find to be a major financial convenience!
It's a quiet neighborhood slightly off the beaten path. We don't hear the traffic sounds and racing noises common in the Montgomery Heights area. The community is gated and parking is plentiful and free. We've never had any issues with crime or break ins. I find our neighbors to be pretty average nice people. There is a blend of families, singles, couples, retirees, and first time renters. It's very diverse. Majority of us say hello in passing and we look out for one another. There is a community BBQ area complete with 2 gas grills and benches next to the swimming pool. I'm a dog owner and I really appreciate the open spaces available and easily accessible dog poo bags throughout the property. (They even have dog treats in the office) It's a very pet friendly community. The laundry room has multiple washers and dryers and typically there are many machines available at one time. Security seems on point. There are cameras in common areas and we have a courtesy security patrol always on call. Dumpsters are spread throughout the property and trash removal comes regularly assuring no overflowing dumpsters.
Front Office: Management has always been good. Recently a new property manager, Monica, has taken over operations and now I can say management is GREAT! Monica is kind, welcoming, cheery, professional, and easily accessible. She genuinely seems invested and interested in any tenant concerns or issues. Since her arrival there has been a noticeable change on the property; both physically and on an energetic level, all positive. She's a big contributor to my family and I deciding to sign for a third term. Front desk staff is much like current management; kind, professional, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Lea has returned to the property after a brief hiatus and she's exactly who you want addressing any tenant or future tenant needs. All that being said; we feel like we're in good hands.
On the topic of "good hands," Maintenance: much like the front office, maintenance has always been good here. With recent changes in staff, the maintenance team has grown stronger and I can say they went from good to great. Oscar has been a long time employee and I give that man a 5 star rating. He's cool, calm, intelligent, and a complete professional. Now he has been partnered with a new supervisor named Byron and these 2 are getting things done! Byron has been a great addition to the community. He has a positive mental attitude, plenty of insight, and he's an all around nice guy. In the rare instances maintenance issues occur, the maintenance team responds quickly and cheerfully. They explain in detail what the issue is, what the solution is, and they take care of it as quickly as possible. They've done a great job with the pool this year keeping it clean and we'll maintained. The property is clean, free of litter, clear of weeds, with neatly groomed shrubbery. You can count on these guys to wave, smile, and say hello in passing. My dog likes them a lot, so that's always a good sign. They're another reason why we feel confident in signing for another year.
Hopefully this review helps and covers the basics. read more
