Cost-conscious UT students and early-career renters prioritizing location and utilities over newest finishes.

What we found

Tanglewood North draws praise for affordability, proximity to UT and transit, and staff responsiveness (Maddie, Gina, Eva, Heather named). Drawbacks surface repeatedly: pest problems (roaches, rats), laundry room failures, aging infrastructure, and aggressive annual rent increases (200-400 dollars). Location and free utilities matter most to satisfied residents; those burned by maintenance gaps and pests left with strong warnings.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • responsive management (named staff)
  • good price for location
  • convenient North Loop/UT location
  • pools and common areas
  • free heat and AC
Watch-outs
  • pest infestations (roaches, rats)
  • aging building and failing appliances
  • laundry room breakdowns
  • yearly rent hikes without improvements

Best for: Cost-conscious UT students and early-career renters prioritizing location and utilities over newest finishes.
Think twice if: Pest control track record is inconsistent; laundry equipment failures are common. Expect 200-400 dollar annual increases.

FAQ

Is the heat and air conditioning included?
Yes. Their website states free heat and air conditioning, though the complex controls it centrally, so tenants report feeling temperature swings.
What is the rent increase policy?
Reviews consistently report yearly increases of 200-400 dollars with no corresponding improvements to the property.
Are there laundry facilities on-site?
Yes, two laundry rooms with multiple washers and dryers, but reviews note frequent breakdowns and out-of-order equipment.

Five-star reviews praise affordable rent, modern finishes, and nearby amenities. Manuel, a staff member, earned specific kudos for responsiveness and property improvement. However, a large segment reports roach infestations, foul-smelling water, broken elevators, inadequate security, and unresponsive management. Several tenants cite safety concerns and months-long maintenance delays. A refund dispute extends beyond three months post-vacate.

Residents praise maintenance crews for lightning-fast repairs and genuine friendliness. Alex, Cory, and Roberto fix problems same-day or within 72 hours; staff like Texie in the office take concerns seriously. The trade-off: it's an older complex, and security is a real problem. Bike and car theft happen regularly with no guard or cameras, management won't fund them, and transients roam the property. One tenant with an 8-year lease calls it a bargain for square footage near campus, despite persistent weed smell and aging infrastructure.

Frank and Yailien's recent leadership has drawn consistent praise for friendliness and responsiveness, with residents noting clean spaces and fast maintenance turnarounds. However, this turnaround masks a long history of neglect: older reviews document rats in walls, roach and bed bug infestations, broken mailboxes, and a pool shut down by city health authorities-complaints that lingered for years under prior management. The property sits at a crossroads. Five-star reviewers from the last year credit Harbor Group's improvements and pest control efforts. Older one- and two-star reviews from the same location describe hazardous conditions and management indifference. The 51% five-star, 39% one-star split reflects two different eras of the same complex.
