12801 CHAMPION FOREST DR, Houston, TX, 77066

You may get something on your door saying you owe $1.25 and to pay it by Saturday, or you may owe a lot more and never know it, because you never received a notice, until all of a sudden you're in trouble. Management is untrustworthy.

Do not move here. The apartments are old and infested with roaches. There's always noise coming from the neighbors no matter what side you live in. Even from the downstairs apts. I can hear animals running on the roof all day and night long. We have complained about these issues and they have never even tried to fix them. When I take showers I get cold water showers in between. I do not recommend anyone to rent here. It has been a horrible experience .

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. You do not want to live here. The front office staff is not people friendly at all. Their "maintenance man" Mike, does not fix a thing. When calling the front office staff to complain about the fact that Mike didn't fix what he was supposed to, you get threatened with eviction. Very glad I do not live there any more as there was a fire in the building behind where I used to live. Apparently they didn't have hot water for 4 days because the front office staff refused to turn the gas back on. Don't be fooled by the good review down below, it was written by the front office staff. They will also bully you for a pet deposit. According to news, one of the tenants in the building that burned had 8 cats and 2 dogs. I'm sure she didn't pay over $2000 in pet deposits. Guess I wasn't pale enough to get by without paying my deposit. Last note, I was never able to use my half bath as I never had water pressure and it always clogged up....on air.

I moved into these apartments in June 2014 and wanted to move out IMMEDIATELY. Where do I even begin to start? I was shown apartments that were nothing like the one I was given, it was infested with roaches the day I moved in and NOTHING we did would ever get rid of them. Pesticides did nothing against them--they infested all of our food by the second day of moving in. Apparently the people who lived there before us never took care of the place, because we found dead bugs in the fridge and only two of all of our electrical outlets worked in the entire apartment. The staff has people towed if the car looks relatively new or expensive and you have to drive out to Katy just to get it (and of course, that'll be anywhere between $150 to $300 or higher). But wait, it gets better!! They purposefully block a good quarter of the parking spaces with equipment so you CAN'T park in the first place! But that's okay, right? Because it just gives them a bigger cut of the towing fees. :) (Not to mention that they don't have a cap for how many cars you can have per unit, since the lovely family next to us had five cars and never used four of them.) If your A/C blows out, you can only have it fixed if it's over 85F. Did I mention that that's only if it's that temperature outside? The oven in our unit made it well over ninety when it was in the seventies. Opening the windows does nothing because they WILL not open. Painted shut. Same thing with the A/C unit's door if you ever need it worked on. The staff decided to change our lease without us even knowing just three months in and even ignored our letters about moving out two months before our lease was supposed to end, re-writing us up for almost double the cost of our previous rent and expecting us to pay it after we had already moved out. The place looks so lovely on the outside and the staff seemed friendly enough to pull me in, but please don't be fooled. Save yourself the trouble--and I do mean a LOT of trouble.

Just moved in. Apartment had roaches--- several kinds. Apartment was not clean. Staff was not professional when moving in--- gave me the run around. Moved here only because of close proximity to family. Overpriced roach motel. Could have a newer apartment for the price. Residents are a bit ------.

Here at champion forest it's been a good experience this was my first apartment and I don't regret it at all. Everyone is professional and friendly as well. The apartment is always clean. But there is one thing that bothers me. There never any parking a spots available after hours.

I have been a resident going on 3 years now and am very satisfied with the quality of life I have been able to reach here at the Champions management team superb interpersonal skills would love for mgr and assistant to recieve thier well deserved kudos, Mr. Mike and new maintenance team hats off never have had a situation that was not resolved in a timely manner and always very courteous and polite very neighborly. Just feels like home when I get there in the evening safety has never been an issue have always felt safe and secure. Thanks for the sense of security. Glad to know almost all requests have been taken care of by a phone call. My grandson will be graduating in 2 months fron Klein Forest High Whoo! Whoo! Thankful to have been able to provide for him the stable foundation that I found here at the Champions will be glad to share experiene with other family members and friends, co-workers etc. Looking forward to the updates and changes that are up and coming into the very near future as far exterior cosmectics changing color schemes every thing the newsletter informed us of.

Very good office staff, immediate maintenance on hand neighborhood friendly, great gated access, very nice place good apartments just don't like the stray cats lurking love very good experience overall. No complaints on my end. Everything good

I had written something, but I erased it, because I did not like what I had written, and now I would like to repost to give my experience. Don't move here! The ladies in the office are nice. As far as living goes, I find it to be noisy here. There are neighbors who are constantly loud either with music or with standing outside at all times of the night and talking, and they always seem to wait until after 9:00 most of the time. And it's scary here too. I've gotten odd knocks on my door late at night,(like at 11:00) such as someone claiming that I ordered a pizza when I hadn't. And I've even had someone try to get into my apartment while I was at home. I have had people tell me some scary things that they themselves have also witnessed. As far as the apartment itself is concerned, before I ever moved my things in, there were roaches, and they seem to be hard to get rid of. There is a constant strong smell of someone smoking something (don't know what it is) that stinks up half of the apartment complex. And it seems that I always get a different story told to me than other neighbors. I also feel like when you bring up a problem, you're shewed away, in a sense, instead of actually trying to fix the problem. I don't always feel as if I am getting the truth. Edit: The old management (up above) was bad. The new management sucks even worse. The new manager came in and changed everything. You can no longer ask to have something printed. They no longer accept packages. There is no telling what else they may change. I will be moving when my lease is up. If I could them a 0, I would. Lots of trashy/slutty women seem to have moved in lately. Also management doesn't do squat when it comes to tenant safety. Update: maintenance has gotten terrible. Apparently emergencies are not emergent.

My aunt lived here a couple years ago and was satisfied. However I could not be more disappointed. The entry gates are almost always broken it seems and takes at least 3 weeks to get fixed. It is pretty obvious what the gate code it because the color on the buttons is practically faded while the unused buttons look brand new. A coworker told me that it was the same code when he lived here through high school almost a decade ago. Some of the gates on the fence by the sidewalk are rigged to not even close. Cause that seems safe right? The washer and dryer connections are in the closet of the second bedroom which is incredibly stupid and inconvenient. How can I wash my clothes when my roommate is sleeping? One thing that I have never been able to get over is the fact that there is absolutely no form of overhead lighting in the living room. While it is easy to go and get lamps, it is still an annoying thought. The tenants who lived in the place before us were evicted. They could have spent a little more time making sure everything was fixed. The light fixture in the dining room was hanging almost a foot and a half to low. It looked like it was about to fall out of the ceiling. How is that not obvious that it is broken? The bathtub drain in the hall bathroom was clogged with an enormous hairball. That is not something you want to find first thing in the morning that first morning in your place. My roommate was nauseated because the long brown hair he pulled out of the drain was not his. He does not even have brown hair. Even the drain in the sink in the master bathroom was clogged. It seems to me that all they did was layout new carpet and repaint the walls. The place was crawling with roaches. They were in cabinets, on the walls, even in the freezer. I finally had it when I found one swimming in my coffee pot. They did a pest control about a month after we moved in but they were still everywhere. It was disgusting. We bought roach motels and that seemed to get it under control. There are a million cable outlets and wall outlets and barely even half of them work. We sent a work order in and it took a month for them to contact us. That only happened because the maintenance guy happened to catch me on the sidewalk asking if I still needed it fixed - which obviously was no since I fixed it myself. We had sent a second work order to fix the constantly running toilet because we couldn't fix it. That was answered in about two and a half to three weeks and the problem was not fixed. It is still running almost 10 months later. There was not even a notice that the maintenance guy would come by. I came home from work one day and freaked out when I found that the front door was open. Not unlocked but OPEN! Anyone could have walked into my apartment and stolen anything. He announced his presence when he heard me walk in. After he was fixed one of the outlets in the kitchen, he left the refrigerator unplugged. Everything would have spoiled had I not caught it 10 minutes after he left. Of course there are going to be kids running around, playing and making noise. We expected that to happen. What we did not expect was that they would be screaming bloody murder for no reason all day long or that the main "hangout" was on the stairs of our building. Nothing like being woken up to the sound a child screaming her little head off at 7 am during the summer. The same little girl screams and cries on a daily basis as loud as she can. We can still hear her even after she goes into her family's apartment which is on the first level of our building. The walls are so thin one night we knew our neighbors were watching The Avengers. The rambunctious kids run around with absolutely no supervision acting like monkeys and cussing. We could hear them cussing over the television on the second floor. We could not even watch movies at times because they were so loud. They treat the whole complex as their playground. I came home from work one night and was worried that someone might be in the outside storage. The light over the stairs was burned out so I had no way of seeing if someone was there. Fortunately there wasn't. It was not until about two weeks later I realized it was the kids who opened the storage door. They were playing in it. We chose this place because it was cheaper and we desperately needed a place to live. Now we know why it was so affordable. While the ladies in the office seem nice and helpful, we are anxiously awaiting our lease to end. We will tell anyone and everyone to stay away from this place.
