  Very Disappointing Experience I recently moved into this apartment complex and have been extremely disappointed with the condition of the property. The common areas are not being properly maintained, with trash left throughout shared spaces and amenities. The leasing office and other common areas have also had trash and generally look neglected. The main hallways are especially concerning. The floors are visibly dirty with heavy foot traffic buildup and scum, making the property look poorly maintained and unwelcoming. What makes this more frustrating is the lack of communication and responsiveness to residents. There also appears to be a staffing shortage, which seems to be affecting the level of service residents receive. I just moved in and expected the property to be clean, maintained, and managed properly. Unfortunately, my experience so far has been very disappointing. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes an effort to improve the cleanliness, maintenance, and communication with residents.

  I really like my studio apartment so far. I’m very grateful I didn’t have any issues with my appliances and my the studio was clean for the most part. However, the move in was incredibly unorganized and chaotic. I arrived at 12:30 to pick up my keys but I did not received them until 3:00 pm. It was a terrible idea for everyone to move at once on Sunday. There needs to be better planning and coordination from management, as individuals were expected to move in all in one day. If we are paying full rent for the month of August, there should be an option for individuals to schedule their move-in during the first week of August rather than having everyone move in on the same day. Some individuals are traveling from different cities and states. On top of that, the move-in experience was made even more challenging by the hallways being extremely hot, around 90 degrees, and issues with the keys not working properly. The fingerprint scanners are not working properly. Please have this issue fixed. Because the scanners are not functioning, residents have had to use rocks or buckets to keep entrances on our floor propped open, which is not safe or appropriate solution.

  Lived here for 2 years starting in 2024. While the first few months were great, things started to go downhill quickly. Most doors are broken and not secure with the supposed fingerprint technology, so the place never felt safe and secure. Anyone can get inside, as I witnessed a homeless man sleeping in the lobby when I was leaving early one morning. My second unit was infested with roaches, and pest control only came out twice when we put in request after request to get them to fix this problem. (The roaches never went away). The trash rooms were disgusting, smelling so rancid it was hard to breath in the halls around them. I will say the new management definitely started to upgrade amenities, but mostly every door was still broken and the parking garage gate was always open, making the place not secure from random people coming in and out. Overall do not recommend this place unless you are a college kid who just needs a place to sleep.

  Operational Disaster & Unfurnished Unit ​Rent was paid in July for an August 16 move-in—the day before classes start—in a fully furnished apartment. ​Previously Confirmed a 12 PM move-in, they called at 10:30 AM pushing it to 2 PM while our timed moving truck ran out at 4pm. ​ Lobby Gridlock: Arrived at 2:30 PM to give them extra time and it was a line of 20+ people. We didn't get keys until 3:40 PM, then sat in a second line until 4:20 PM just for fingerprint access. ​Finally got in and walked into an empty unit despite paying for a fully furnished lease. Maintenance said they'd "try" to bring furniture by the end of the night. Ran into a manager on the elevator and she excused this by saying they were moving 400 people in one day. Attempting to move 400 residents on the eve of the school year without basic coordination—or the furniture residents paid for—is gross incompetence. Unprofessional, disorganized, and zero accountability and this is the "new management". Hate we didn't know this upfront!

  ‼️DO NOT MOVE HERE‼️ The new management does not care about resident concerns. I was promised that ALL of the broken doors and gates would be a top priority for repair in January, but they have been left unattended since Cardinal Group Management bought the building. I have brought up my safety concerns about the building a multitude of times, but they do not care. The garage gate has been broken for THREE YEARS, and all the exterior doors to the second building have been broken for a whole year. They were more concerned about the renovations and redoing all the hallways. The upkeep on the building is terrible, the floors are always disgusting and the trash rooms are usually completely filled. They will leave things disgusting and broken for weeks after multiple complaints from residents. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT RESIDENTS!! Your complaints will not be taken seriously. Amenities like the pool and gym are frequently closed for long periods of time and not maintained well anyway. The only reason I stayed as long as I did was because I did enjoy my one bedroom unit that I could make my own. However, the building and grounds are not enjoyable. The hallways are muggy and hotter than it is outside in the summer and freezing in the winter. The game room air conditioner was broken for months in the summer making it impossible to spend time in there. If you have a pet, no one picks up their dog’s poop and half of the grass is fake around the property. My dog was often going to the bathroom on the rocks and I think I was the only one that picked anything up. If you’re a student going to UTA the proximity of Buffalo at Arlington is NOT worth the rent price and horrible building management. I would suggest finding another apartment in close proximity of the school and NOT Buffalo at Arlington.
