What we found

The Howard earns strong marks for its resort-style amenities, modern finishes, and leasing staff who make the tour and application process smooth and welcoming. However, recent reviews flag rising charges beyond rent, dirty common areas like the gym and grilling stations, and serious gaps in billing responsiveness when disputes arise. Maintenance typically replies within two business days, but some residents say their concerns about fees and cleanliness go unaddressed.

Most residents report excellent leasing and maintenance support from named staff like Jimena, Benjamin, Chris, and maintenance team Cesar and Leo. Homes are modern, well-designed, and clean; the community feels quiet and friendly. One significant dispute involved undisclosed fees, inconsistent yard service, internet concerns, and slow accountability from management, though maintenance itself was praised even in that complaint.

Staff warmth sets first impressions apart: Cody, Gabrielle, Amber, and Emily consistently earned praise for welcoming tours and attentive leasing help. However, thin walls, faulty appliances, pest infestations, and poor communication on maintenance requests undercut the experience for many residents, especially as construction complaints and safety lapses emerged post-opening.

Move-ins here feel like getting a personal welcome from people who actually care. Martin Serrato and Patricia Galindo run a show where staff remember details, maintenance answers quickly, and the grounds stay polished. You're paying for apartments, but reviewers keep coming back because the people make you feel at home. The property itself delivers: new, clean units with nice pools and balconies. No major complaints in recent reviews. Strong on location near IH-35 and I-290, and pet-friendly setup rounds out the draw.
