What we found

Residents describe starkly different experiences. Those working with leasing agent Samone and the maintenance team report smooth moves and responsive support. Yet serious complaints recur: unreliable hot water from shared boilers, pest infestations taking weeks to address, aging units with failing AC, and families facing evictions amid poor document handling. The 3.2 rating reflects this divide, with roughly equal shares of five-star and one-two-star reviews.

FAQ

Is parking or landscaping maintained during regular hours?
Grounds are described as clean with minimal grass. Landscapers work Wednesdays but often blow dirt onto parked cars, though management has addressed complaints about this practice.
What is the deposit, and how is the move-in process handled?
Security deposit is $99 with approved credit. The leasing team, particularly Samone, handles move-in and can show similar units to those leasing sight-unseen. Residents report smooth initial experiences.
How responsive is maintenance to repair requests?
Maintenance staff respond quickly to requests per recent reviews, but pest control and complex-wide issues (boiler, AC, water pressure) have experienced delays. Maintenance team is consistently praised for professionalism.

High Oaks

3.5(146)✓ Google-verified

Long-term residents praise staff responsiveness and the natural setting, though move-in conditions and pest management remain serious pain points. A small group of staff members (Brooke, Ambrosio, Caleb, Rodriguez) earns consistent mention for going beyond expectations, yet several tenants report negligent move-ins, persistent roach problems the pest control contractor struggles to solve, and property managers who deny or deflect complaints. The 51% five-star to 35% one/two-star split reflects this divide: people either find genuine community and quick repairs, or face broken appliances, locked-out keypads, and pest issues they cannot resolve.

Great Hills

Great Hills has a split reputation: residents consistently praise the leasing team (especially Isabella, Kristine, and Melissa for professionalism and friendliness) and value the quiet North Austin location near shopping. The core problem is aging units with limited upkeep. Reviewers report original 1984 appliances still in use, chipped paint, single-pane windows, and cockroach cycles. Critical complaints center on broken move-in promises, slow emergency responses (heating during winter outages), and high move-out charges even when apartments were left clean. Staff quality masks structural decay. Several long-term residents stayed 2+ years and plan to remain, citing safe surroundings and responsive leasing staff who personally know tenants. Others left within weeks due to failed HVAC during summer heat and management defending failed-seal windows. Maintenance quality is inconsistent: some praised Alex and Bruno for evening AC repairs; others waited days for emergency heating fixes. Cost of living is high (electric bills up to $250/month reported) due to old single-pane windows and inefficient systems.
