3.9(209)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most residents report friendly staff and speedy maintenance, with clean grounds and a peaceful setting close to shops and I-35. A significant minority describe management dismissiveness over serious problems, recurring water outages, structural safety questions, and wildlife intrusions that went unresolved despite requests. Named staff members Jaqueline, Lizzie, Timothy, Jacky, Yeny, and Matt drew specific praise for helpfulness and customer service. However, some tenants report their concerns ignored or met with "attitude," and a few mention maintenance arriving late or incompletely addressing issues like HVAC leaks and balcony safety.

Jonathan Nieto, the maintenance technician, earns consistent praise for speed, professionalism, and clear communication on repairs. However, renters flag serious maintenance gaps: persistent humidity leading to mold and respiratory issues, smoke leaking through walls, trash accumulating for days, broken glass in parking lots, and pest problems. Move-out charges averaging $165-4,000 create tension, with some residents feeling overcharged after thoroughly cleaning units. The property markets upscale finishes and amenities (smart home tech, pool, pet park) that appeal on paper. In practice, common areas show neglect after holidays or weekends, and building interiors fall short of marketing promises. Staff responsiveness is strong; management systems and preventive maintenance appear weak.

The Morgan struggles with chronic maintenance and management failures. Residents report mold, water leaks, broken appliances, and pest problems left unaddressed for months despite repeated requests. Staff are widely described as unresponsive, combative, and unwilling to resolve issues even when violations of rental agreements occur. A small number of recent move-ins praised individual staff members and amenities, but the overwhelming pattern shows deteriorating conditions under current management, with unpaid contractor debts affecting services residents pay for.
