Do not live here.
The day I moved in, a three hour drive up from austin with my life in my trunk and what’s in my brand new apartment when I open the door? Trash, dirt, stains on the floor, sticky shelves in the fridge, a microwave covered top to bottom in what I can only describe as gloop, and just various disgusting sights all over the rest of the apartment. But hey, at least there’s a half drunken bottle of tequila in the cabinet to welcome me! Turns out, the moving day cleaners who were hired to prepare the complex for move in day were staying in my unit, and just left it like that. It took 5 more hours to clean before I could actually move in. The compensation to make this fiasco worth it? a $100 gift card. That’s barely two tanks of gas.
The pool is always filthy with hair and leaves, the gym has broken doors to get in, the tanning bed is out of order, the bathrooms for the gym are nasty and out of toilet paper, paper towels, and soap. The hallways are cleaned i guess once a year before move in, because they became filled with trash and vomit stains within weeks. The parking garage is filled with trash, with broken gates at the front and broken doors to each floor that were supposed to be fingerprint access only completely broken and usually propped open by more trash. The trash rooms are filthy, often with floors covered with so much trash it’s impossible to open the door much less reach the chute. The lobby had vending machines that were perpetually empty, arcade games that didn’t work, a coffee machine that was never stocked, and a photo of superman and batman kissing that was vandalized with a big X. Very welcoming!
Halfway through my lease in February, they closed the pool alongside the whole rooftop for “renovations”. They said in an email the closure should only last 3 weeks. The whole rooftop didn’t open for another 3 MONTHS. Why am I paying for amenities I can’t use? They blamed it on a change in management, when what they should’ve done was taken responsibility for their laziness and lack of accountability. Once it reopened in about a week ago it looked nearly the exact same, but they took away the the pool chairs that were plastic and could go in the water alongside ALL of the covered seating options on the deck, left about a dozen ripped and broken pool chairs that were unusable, and ONE functioning pool chair that I can only imagine was some kind of cruel joke. And now rather than just the pool closing at 11, the whole rooftop does as-well, guarded by a cop. One of my favorite things to do last winter was to sit on that roof and watch the stars, last night I went to finally do that again and was told to get back inside by an officer. Thank god he stopped a teenage girl from enjoying a summer night, because there’s definitely not worse things happening during the late hour in the middle of a city.
Here’s another anecdote of my life at these apartments, the first week of April, my air conditioning went out. Called maintenance, said they’d have it fixed in a few days once they got a new part they needed to order and replace. They then said it was too rainy and it was dangerous to install the part. Made sense, until the rain stopped for about a week and my apartment was reaching temps well over 90. Called again, and they brought 2 portable ac units, and 1 actually broke during installation in one of the rooms, so one. One room in my apartment had ac. My room, my roommate’s room, and the living area were all still without anything. And it was installed so haphazardly that the cardboard and blue tape they used to prop it into the window would constantly fall off, allowing rain, bugs, wind, and more to fly in on my roommate as she slept! A month went by, nothing. We called again, and were met with more pity shitty portable ac units. It was now late May, and had been two months in the Texas heat with no ac. We were nearing the hundreds INSIDE. They finally fixed our ac. It took a whopping 5 minutes to fix. Maintenance man didn’t even had time to break a sweat.
Please, do not live here.
