What we found

Long-term residents praise Apple Creek for affordable rent, proximity to downtown Round Rock, and swift maintenance response times. Staff earn consistent appreciation for friendliness and willingness to help. However, a significant recent move-out revealed serious health hazards including untreated mold in AC systems and bathrooms, unresolved equipment failures, and a $500 pest control charge based on misidentified insects. Deposit disputes over items already failing point to management practices that may not align with tenant interests.

Stability shows in many tenants staying 10-15 years and citing safety and property upkeep. But the mold disclosure, coupled with delayed repairs and aggressive charging for contractor errors, suggests maintenance practices prioritize cost-cutting over quality remediation. Families and long-term renters in good standing appear satisfied; those facing significant repairs or deposit recovery face friction.

Praised for
  • responsive maintenance and quick repairs
  • friendly, helpful staff
  • safe community with low crime
  • affordable rent and good location
  • well-maintained property
Watch-outs
  • persistent mold in AC systems and bathrooms
  • deferred maintenance issues (hot water, dryer noises)
  • wrongful pest control charges and misidentification
  • unfair deposit deductions including items not replaced
  • inconsistent pest control treatment

Best for: Long-term renters prioritizing affordability and location over intensive renovation budgets.

Maintenance responds quickly and staff members like Veronica receive genuine gratitude for going the extra mile, especially helping tenants resolve billing disputes from previous ownership. Yet a persistent chorus reports roaches, rats, mold, and crumbling wood throughout aging buildings, with some tenants breaking leases early due to pest control failures and water damage. New management is attempting repairs, but complaints about deferred structural work, poor office hours, and stale appliances overshadow the friendliness. Residents praise the walkable location near shops and schools and note the apartments are spacious. That goodwill erodes quickly when reviews describe showings of units with active infestations, AC units unable to cool second floors in summer, and foundation cracks management patches rather than fixes. A $400-500 pricing gap between online quotes and tour appointments has left some feeling misled.

Staff leadership (particularly Gio) earns consistent praise for professionalism and quick repairs, but recent reviews show a sharp collapse in office communication, maintenance response, and pest control follow-through. Older residents report unresolved roaches, broken amenities, and deposit holds; newer movers cite oven repairs ignored and late fees after move-in date changes.
