Tenant Reviews for 10909 Gulf Fwy

my lease is up at the end of May and I am so glad to be moving. First of all, the property itself is in very poor condition. The grounds are not kept up, the laundry facilities are in desperate need of attention, and the constant stream of riff-raff make this complex a very scary place after the sun goes down. Everytime I call in a repair, no one ever shows up. My stove caught on fire and no one came to repair it until I physically went into the office and spoke with the manager to let her know that i called 3 times in one week. At least once a month, I have expressed that mold is growing rapidly in my bathroom, no one has come to address it. Now I pay for a 2-2, but the shower in the masterbath has not worked since day one. And again, no one came out to correct the problem. My reccomendation is that this complex be a very last resort!!!

Since I been here some girl was almost raped in broad daylight, cars been broken into, a car chase, and someone's been killed & they have onsite police here. They were protecting the apt complex for a fee but they didn't want to do their job either so they QUIT. I moved in Oxford Apts July 2008 & out in March 2009. They don't want to fix anything or replace anything. You can't use the dishwasher because it's nasty from previous renters & underneath the dishwasher it's filthy & the water fills out & they repair it to where they let the water out. When rented they didn't clear the roaches out of the refrigerator, frozen roaches & roach eggs hiding in the cracks of the refrigerator out of dishwasher, dishwasher was and still is rusted, roaches in the oven & beneath the stove where you lift to clean. There's a hole in the ceiling caused from IKE, do you know the hole is still there. mold is in areas of bathrooms & since they can't see it then it's not there. Just nasty..you can go to office & report it, they lose your work orders. The corporation over the apt don't care & claim they are out of money but the apt manager has money for fences. Her name is Manerva, oh but she don't live in the apt complex..oh wow. Have checked out other apts but they are worse, roach infested & full of mold. The health dept only does the outside but another dept that handles the inside of apt..lol get this they have a recording that says they're close for two weeks to regroup so call back then if you're lucky, otherwise send your correspondence through the mail. These apts are falling down & about time you get some action, you'll be long gone lmao. NAW I blame FEMA & Bush because after Katrina happened in Louisiana, it's like Texas has to suffer when it was Texas that helped the ppl from Louisiana regroup, now they can't expect the same in return. I thank God Bush is no longer in office. These apts should be condemned. Do u know that the manager is having ppl to pay rent, lights,deposit, etc.. prior to them looking @ apt & the day prior to moving in, the apt is not ready & if you move in needing repairs it won't happen even if it's in writing @ the office, they will fix it halfway when they have time because you moved in AS IS. Out of four maintenance men, only two are worth a darn. Bon Voyage.

THE APARTMENTS ARE INFESTED WITH UNTERMINATABLE ROACHES AND ARE FULL OF HOUSEFLIES. SECURITY IS ZERO. A NUMBER OF STOLEN VEHICLES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE COMPLEX IN THE PAST. THE WORST OF ALL PEOPLE GETTING KILLED, WHY? TOO MANY DRUG PROBLEMS AND THEY DONT CHECK ANYBACKGROUND. THEY ARE SO GREEDY THEY WILL TAKE IN SERIAL KILLER. BUT THATS NOT ALL THEIR MANGER(MERNAVER) AND STAFF(VERONCA)THEY ARE SO RACIST AND UNPROFFESIONAL ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT --------

I have lived at the Oxford Apartments for 2 years and I am living at the end of this month. I have stayed there because its cheap but its a horrible place to live. Everything breaks down including the AC. They never fix anything unless you complain about 10 times. I have come home from working late at night and have found people doing drug deals in front of my apartment. There is no respect from other tennants or the staff. The place got worse after people from New Orleans moved in. The office staff does not care about anything and they tend to lose your rent check. I will never live there again and warn people about living there. The place should be closed down and demolished. Its a breeding ground for criminals.

Please dont move in these apartments suck --- especially the manager.She's very very rude the crime is bad.My girl and I have lived here for about a year they broke in to my girls truck 3 times,they stold my neihbors car and people get shot the gates never work and they NEVER SEND OUT NOTICES telling you they fixed them.The code they give you never works and you get a long line into the feder.TRUST ME DONT MOVE IN THEY ARE REALY BAD ESPECIALLY THA MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!

I WAS ONLY THERE 1 1\2 MONTHS SOME FIRST BROKE INTO MY CAR. THEN A WEEK LATER SOMEONE WENT INTO MY HOUSE WITH A KEY AND STOLE ALL MY ELECTRONIC ITEMS KID TOYS,CLOTHE AND SHOES AND THE OFFICE TRIED TO SAY IT WAS MY FAULT. THEN 3 DAYS LATER SOMEONE KICKED IN MY BALCONY AND BROKE THE BAR AND CLEANED OUT EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAD LEFT THE FIRST TIME EVEN FOOD AND CLOTHINGL ITEMS. THE FAT ------- IN THE OFFICE ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT CARE AND CONSTANTLY TRIED TO BLAME IT ON US. BULL ---- PLEASE DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING YOU ARE YOUR FAMILY OUT HERE THEY ARE JUST AS WORSE AS THE BRISTOLS AND INDIGO FALLS. LOOK OUT FOR YOUR FAMILY.

This place is terrible. The only decent service I got in the 4 months I have lived here was when i came to inquire about an apartment. My apt has been broken into 2 times in 1 week and the manager and her office staff have not been helpful at all. They take work orders for problems you report but never come out to fix them.

Gunshots at night. I would not recommend anyone to live in Oxford Apartments. I don't feel safe there.

These apartments are horrible... just awful!!! Please if you are considering, don't waste your time, money, and frustration! When I was living there, the first week my car was broken into, along with 4 other cars the first week they were there. Also, an apartment very close to me was raided by the police, where they had to break the door down and I truly believe that if it weren't for the guys pregnant girlfriend, he would have shot at them. My child was 1 then and that was not sitting well with me at all since he could have been shot. There were multiple break-ins and also the AC always went out and it was hard to get them to come and fix it. When they did come to fix it, it was broken again a week later every time. On top of all that, the staff are very, very unprofessional and rude. I wouldn't let homeless people live there. After the Hurricane threat that we had, when Houston was evacuating, there was no staff there until almost jan. of 2007. Maintenance was picking up the payments from the drop box and putting them on the managers desk, or so I was told. Everyone, from what I do know, had to use the drop box to make payments. On top of that, one of the workers expressed to my mother that one of the managers was fired for stealing peoples rent money orders. Numerous times I had to prove that I paid rent because they were always "losing paperwork." Then They tried to evict because I wouldn't pay them rent because they put an illegal lock-out on my door, while I was inside of my apartment, after I had just gotten off the phone with management. They took me to court and all of a sudden they were saying I hardly paid rent and when I pulled out the money orders they could say a word. The months I had to pay for were the 3 months that I refused to pay rent and now that I've been gone from there for six months, when I went to apply for an apartment they lied and said that I owed them $3000 in damages! Which is no where near what the judge appointed for them to have. They won't see a red cent from me. When I called to talk to them about it, they were still very rude and unprofessional and I do plan on taking them back to court to get this "$3000.00" removed from my records! Like I said, I wouldn't even advise the homeless to live here for free! It's that awful, so I definitely wouldn't advise anyone to live there and give them their money for that crap hole!

My boyfriend an I have been living here for a few months, and we are ready to break the lease already. These apartments are horrible. The office staff is rude and very unprofessional. We have been trying to get them to fix the dishwasher since we moved in, and it still hasn't been fixed. We keep our apartment clean and we still have a problem with roaches. We have asked them repeatedly to come and exterminate and they still havent. The dumpsters are not emptied as often as they should and the trash overflows and gets blown into your yard in front of your apt. I could go on and on. These apartments are horrible. Move anywhere but here!!
