Pile of weeds at dog park.

Since Shelbi has become the property manager things have gone down hill and fast. She is so rude and will tell you exactly what you want to hear to get you off the phone. I had a car parked in my covered spot for almost 24 hours and nothing was done to help. Instead, she snapped at me on the phone saying they had only been open since 8:30 when I asked why nothing had been done for 3 hours. I made a complaint to corporate about her about a month and a half ago and ever since then I have received more than 5 "lease violations" with the threat of eviction. This place is only average if not worse until you have concerns. Then things get really bad really fast. On several occasions I have lost hot water due to pipes bursting and I didnt find out until I called the office to complain about my hot water not working. The maintenance team, especially Al the older guy with a pony tail, will drag their feet when any maintenance request is made, not to mention the landscapers are awful. Often times they come to landscape they completely disregard the dog park and literally every single time they come I have to spend 20-30 minutes sweeping my patio. I have also mentioned this to Shelbi to be yet again given false promises that she will say something to them and it will change. The office staff is super nice and professional until you sign the lease. Then they treat you like a second class citizen. Just like all the other bad reviews here steer clear of southern oaks! Drug use is still rampant in the community and now a lot of people have dogs that the community doesn't even know about. That also means lots of pet waste not being picked up. Hope this review helps you make a better decision than I did.

No fan or lights-living room
Amanda P.

These apartments are ok. They have been updated which is nice. The lighting is horrible. There is no light fixture or ceiling fan in the living room or bedroom. There is a ceiling fan in the dining room though, which is just weird. The kitchen is really crammed. (As expected I guess) There is no microwave. My apartment is on the street side, so cars driving by at night is pretty noisy. The neighbors are nice and quite. Management is friendly and helpful.

Right side of my porch. (Showing that I'm basically completely closed in where the only way to see it is to climb up and look over)

***** UPDATE JUNE 2019****…read more Unfortunately I had to move away from 4000 Hulen and my current apartment isn't anywhere near the level of 4000 Hulen's quality. It's not just the location and building amenities, it's the customer service that starts from the general manager and permeates through the rest of the staff. If you've lived in apartments for any length of time you know it's a crapshoot finding a good one. I strongly urge you to visit this place. Best apartment complex I've ever lived in. Is it perfect? No. But it checks all the boxes. Go see why Andree and her team are the best in Fort Worth!! ***UPDATE JUNE 2018*** It's been over two years since my original review and wanted to check in and say 4000 Hulen is still the best place to rent in town. They recently had an ownership change. However the new company was smart and kept the staff intact, so the amazing level of service that we've grown accustomed to stayed the same. We searched a lot of different apartments before we chose to move in here back in 2016, and it is still the best decision we made. **************************************************************************************************************************** ***UPDATE JULY 2016*** We wanted to update our initial review with more thoughts about our experience living at 4000 Hulen. If you are looking for an apartment complex to live in then this is the one. Look no further or add 4000 Hulen to your list of complexes to research. We have never lived in an apartment complex with a more attentive, friendly, and caring staff. Every single person that is on the staff here is AMAZING. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, the leasing agents are knowledgeable and caring, the housekeeping is PHENOMENAL, and the apartment manager is down to earth and incredible. The pool is well kept. There is a dog park that is exclusive to 4000 Hulen residents. The apartment gym is well stocked with a variety of equipment. And there is a covered parking garage for residents to park in. They also have a Starbucks coffee machine in the resident lounge area. You press a button and it grinds the beans for your coffee and then brews it on the spot. It's included as part of the perks for living at 4000 Hulen. You won't find a machine like this at any other apartment complex in Fort Worth. 4000 Hulen isn't the least expensive apartment option nor is it the most expensive. But just like everything in life you get what you pay for. The location, the amenities, the staff, and the price point all make this the best apartment complex in the Fort Worth area. ************************************************************************************************************************ ORIGINAL REVIEW: After living in 4000 Hulen for a few months we thought we'd share a review of our experiences. First off, the office staff and employees here are amazing. Everybody is friendly and happy and are always willing to help in whatever way needed. Every interaction that we've had with them has been positive and cheerful. The location of the apartment complex is perfect. We're basically right smack in between Central Market and Trader Joes on Hulen. We're trying to maintain a healthier lifestyle and easy access to both of those stores really helps when we're looking for quality food(s). Access to the Trinity Trails is a short drive away from here as well, we take our doggies for walks and it's less that a 5 min drive away. In addition, the TCU campus is a 7-10 min drive away depending on the traffic. We selected an apartment on a higher floor and couldn't be more satisfied. The noise level is minimal. Sometimes we forget we are in an apartment because we don't hear any noise from our neighbors. The apartments were constructed recently and you can tell they didn't skimp on the wall materials. The only noise we do hear is from the train station but that just becomes background noise and is tuned out after a day or so. The 4000 Hulen dog park is phenomenal. Our two little dogs love to go and play and frolic with the other apartment dogs in the dog area that is exclusive to 4000 Hulen. They even provide doggie bags for picking up after your dogs! The closets are huge, the showers are roomy, and the kitchen area is laid out great for making home made meals. We have an island with storage so we can keep our pots and pans handy, and the double sink is deep and spacious. Every entrance to the apartment is secure. We have a fob that gives us access to exterior doors and also to the entrance gate. Lastly my favorite part of the apartment is the view. Our apartment faces Hulen and we can see the downtown Fort Worth skyline and the TCU campus clearly. The TCU football stadium is lit up at night and we can see the Brown-Lupton Union building's purple light at night as well. Overall we are EXTREMELY satisfied apartment dwellers. No doubt there are a lot of options for living acc

We have our AC set to 66° for 24 hours a day ($$$) and yet it is still hot enough inside to break a sweat every afternoon. It simply cannot keep up with the square footage of certain units even with the blinds closed tight. The heat is radiating straight through the poorly insulated walls, you can feel it's hot just by touching the wall. Chocolate melts sitting on the table for an example. Again great location/everything, just select a unit carefully...make sure you tour in the afternoon around 5-6pm when you'd be getting home.

I've moved out from all my previous apartments across the country and have never charged more than $100 before - Although I have missed something, even if I double-checked, there's no way I left a bag of trash inside. I had a negative living experience here. The external fan could be very noisy, I would advise double check if there are any external fans, especially if you choose the first floor. I have multiple outside my window, and I had to move my bed to living room for weeks, the maintenance is quick to respond, but after two fixes, the noise is still evident. Video for the fan noise: https://youtube.com/shorts/Ymyrzc1tbho?feature=share The heater is inefficient due to its age, I was charged very high electricity fee for a 1-bedroom apartment. Also please be noticed some units don't have washer and dryer installed, you need to spend additional ~$45 per month to rent one, which they did not mention before signing. On a positive note, the staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful. This is not a complaint against any specific staff member. The location is good and the apartment is true to size.

Theres a few places to eat that are walking distance. Theres a nice park nearby to people watch too. Building is clean and cool. Small kitchen space but, large living room flanked by windows that no one can see in. The bathroom is a normal size and has ample space for storage. A small stair case leads to the loft upstairs, so cute. Such an appealing touch! Theres a small fitness center too. It is a very quite and peaceful facility. I do have to say, I dislike the parking. It's located around the building and you have to pay. I would definitely look into these for a taste of Downtown Fort Worth.

The property is consistently clean, and it's clear that management takes pride in keeping everything in good condition. The amenities are also a great bonus--one of my personal favorites is the awesome coffee station. Everything is always accessible and well cared for. The location is very convenient, with easy access to shopping, dining, and major roads, while still maintaining a calm and relaxed environment. One of the biggest reasons I've stayed is the staff. Morgan, the manager, does an excellent job overseeing the community, and Judith, Gracie, Millie, Sergio, Amy, Sandra, and Jason all work together as a great team. Everyone is friendly, professional, and helpful, and it really feels like they care about the residents and take pride in what they do. I've chosen to renew my lease multiple times, which really speaks to how much I enjoy living here. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Elm at River Park to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to live.I
