Management (particularly property manager Maureen) responds quickly to issues, and maintenance staff like Jessie keep the courtyard and units in good shape, though units are older and early lease termination fees have frustrated some departing tenants.

3.9(77)✓ Google-verified

Maintenance staff, especially Cesar, Carlos, and Cameron, are consistently praised for same-day or next-day repairs and genuine care for residents. Location near South Lamar and downtown offers strong value, though the 3.9-star rating masks deep divides: security concerns (homeless encampments, car break-ins), property manager communication gaps, and leasing delays frustrate renters, while recent management under Jillian and Celeste has improved responsiveness.

Timbercreek Apartments

4.0(243)✓ Google-verified

Timbercreek delivers on location and community for many residents, with staff like Mindy, Hector, and Felipe earning specific praise for going above and beyond during move-in and repairs. The complex sits in a tree-lined creek setting near downtown views and offers fitness facilities, dog areas, and responsive maintenance when it works. However, a vocal minority faces serious concerns: mold has lingered unresolved for months, pest control requests sit ignored or incomplete, and management sometimes dismisses residents seeking help or rental assistance. The building's age and foundation problems seem to breed recurring pest issues that overwhelm the property's otherwise appealing bones. Recent management changes have sharpened tensions. Several long-term residents describe the new team as unresponsive and clueless, pointing to poor communication around major work (tree removal without notice) and dismissive attitudes when residents raise safety issues. For those who land in a clean unit with responsive staff, Timbercreek feels like home; for others fighting mold or vermin, it has become a financial and emotional strain.
