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
responsive-managementgood-valuewell-maintainedpest-problemsslow-maintenance
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.

Most residents credit a dedicated maintenance crew-particularly Alex, Cory, and Roberto-for rapid repairs and genuine care. One resident solved a kitchen emergency in 40 minutes; another with 15 years in Austin complexes said maintenance here broke the pattern. The trade-off is age: the complex dates; theft and trespassing are real concerns, and security investment appears limited. Location near UT makes it walkable, prices fair. What stands out is the team. Responses arrive same-day or within three days maximum. Texie in the office and the maintenance staff show respect and listen. Yet the older building means ongoing repairs, and without visible security, break-ins and package theft remain issues. Proximity to campus is a selling point for students and commuters.

Recent management changes have brought genuine improvements in responsiveness and maintenance speed, earning strong praise from newer residents. Older complaints about pest infestations, broken amenities, and chronic neglect under previous operators paint a sharply different picture, suggesting this property is in active transition but trust remains fragile.
