DO NOT MOVE HERE. This has been a traumatic experience from start to finish.
1. Poor Living Conditions & Noise:
The buildings are extremely old (50-60 years) and falling apart. There are large cracks in the walls inside my unit—when I asked management, they brushed it off saying "this is common in Texas." The noise is unbearable. The fridge and AC vents buzz constantly, and the AC compressor is installed right outside the bedroom window, making it impossible to sleep at night.
2. Dangerous Maintenance:
Maintenance is incompetent and unsafe. My bathroom leaked multiple times. During one failed repair attempt, they left construction debris and rocks in a black plastic bag hanging from the ceiling. The bag actually fell and hit me, covering me in debris.
3. Unsafe & Retaliatory Management:
If the terrible facilities aren't enough, the management is dangerous.
• Security Violation: They allowed a male stranger to move into my unit without my signature on the Roommate Addition form.
• Retaliation: When I complained that I felt unsafe due to this stranger's extortion attempts, management refused to help. Then, they retaliated by revoking my already approved lease renewal to kick me out.
• Bogus Fees: They charge random fees like "$10.75 insurance-non-compliant" despite me having valid insurance.
They do not care about your safety, your rights, or the law. Stay away!

I have lived here for two years now and just renewed for a third. I LOVE IT HERE!! Perfect for young adults!! It's the perfect place to call home when you can meet your new best friend just a few doors down. I am just so happy to have found this place without being from the Dallas area and am so grateful for the amazing people I have met here.
The management staff are friendly and super helpful. Maintenance is not needed often, but when they are it tends to be prompt and efficient. My apartment doesn't have a washer/dryer because it's older, but I don't mind because there are community-only washer/dryer buildings throughout and they are very clean! Management is also quick to help if there happen to be any issues with them. As if this community couldn't get any better, Smith Patrol is also there to help ensure everything is quiet and safe!!

I moved into The Village Bend about a year ago and it is by far the best apartment complex I have ever lived in! I have bounced all around DFW with apartments in Dallas, Richardson, and Plano and feel like I have experienced every apartment horror story there is (flooding, no AC, bugs, a literal car driving through my wall), and it feels so good to not have to worry about any of that here.
The management team is highly responsive and always so kind, maintenance is rarely ever needed but when they are they are speedy and effective - I've never had to call them for the same issue twice! I feel completely at home here and actually get excited to show friends and family where I live.
Highly HIGHLY recommend! <3
I just renewed my lease for another year making this over 6 years now that I've lived here. The Village has a LOT to offer by way of amenities. Several bars, restaurants, putting green, pickle ball, intramural sports fields, a gorgeous 2 story gym and country club with resort style pool. They even book rising DJ's for our summer parties! The complex is located 2 miles to 10 grocery stores, 3 DART stations and 10 minutes to Downtown. It's very centrally located. The staff has also been nothing short of amazing. Maintenance requests are handled lightning fast. The ladies in the office have been amazing over the years and manager Elena has really been there to help us when needed. On several occasions she has personally followed up with a phone call or email after a maintenance request to ensure our satisfaction. Smith security is our onsite patrol and are VERY present. I stress all these highlights because apartments in general can get bad raps but I'll tell anyone who listens that I will not move out of the Village unless I buy my own house. Love it here!!

Elena at the Village bend is a pleasure to work with. Addresses maintenance issue in a timely manner. Had a incident in my apartment and it was address the very next day. Also the village amenities including the gym (village fit) and resort style pool (country club) makes feel living like being on vacation at times.
