Tenant Reviews for 2121 PECH RD

I used to live here at Aspenwood Apartments 4 years ago and had to move out of state for personal reasons. When I decided to move back to Houston I looked through different apartments and came back to take a look at Aspenwood. I can honestly say I was very pleasantly surprised with their GSD apartments. I currently have one of their upgraded units, a GSD, that comes with the newer washers and dryers and I love it! The wood flooring is a plus because it looks really nice but what I like the most about here is the security. There is ALWAYS someone at the guardhouse 24/7 and they don't let just anyone in unless they're on your visitor list. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you value security and a friendly environment. Office staff is always on point and maintenance requests get done same day. Love love love this place!

I live here now, and if you value having hot water at any reasonable hour, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU. I have lost count of the times I've been in the middle of the shower and ALL the hot water dissipates within MINUTES. Just because this place is obviously in the improvement stage is no excuse for having old hot water heaters, or hot weaters so poorly maintained. keep looking. UPDATE 2/13 - so, a day or so after I post this review, we get inserts into our door - "Water will be off 9-5 as we fix a water boiler"...annd I'm standing here now, wet and soapy, avoiding the ice cold water. NOT A SINGLE HINT OF HEAT. I reiterate. keep looking.

I've been living here for over 2 months. My bf chose this place for our future living, but so far I really am impressed by it. At first glance, after hearing bad things about the Spring Branch, you're like another run down place but not the case we are in an upgrade unit, the 24 hour gate entrance is a plus. Some might complain about the extra time because the person is trying to get in and they are not on a list. Therefore, I would rather deal with a line than having random people have access to the gate; eliminates a lot of problems. We really haven't had any maintenance issues only one we had, it was take care of timely. The staff from what I have dealt with is very friendly and nice. The only problem I do have management has not control over...my upstairs neighbors and there thousand kids. I'm hoping once school is back in session my ceiling will stop shaking.

I've lived here 2 months now and love it! My biggest reason was there are no breed restrictions here, which means my bully breed dogs were accepted which is hard to find.. Even though they are pet friendly you never hear any barking or hardly see people with their pets.. I love how quiet it is also! It's very safe and love the gate security and I've never had issues getting into the gate.. It keeps out any nonsense and love it. I also was ecstatic with my first light and water bill and how cheap it was! My last apt was too expensive and this was perfect for me. The times I've had to have maintenance fix something they were quick and fast and loved that also - my last apt it took days to get someone to fix something. I live in the remodeled unit and its beautiful and very affordable and spacious. I definitely plan on renewing my lease here and will refer others here. The office girls are always friendly and nice also and I'm very glad I chose aspenwood to be my new home!

When I first moved here it was great. However the longer I stay the more you see what really goes on here. One thing I don't like is that they control your lights. Then everyday after work I come home to take a shower and the water is cold. You call maintenance they fix it that day by the next day it's ice cold again. The the front gate is night mare to come through especially when there is a line.

I have lived here for only three months and I can't wait get of here, this place is infested with roaches and when maintenance are called they take forever and they don't even clean up. The palm trees are so old they have huge roaches coming out of them and they have geto ladies in their pajamas at the guard shack letting everyone in. This place is dirty and pffice staff is always rude can't wait to for my lease to expire....I'm out of here.

I recently moved from Miami to Houston. I have never lived on my own but after a few months I can say I made a good choice by picking Aspenwood. It is an absolute bargain for the price I'm paying. The apartments are well maintained and of the two minor maintenance calls I have had to submit, both were resolved within 1-2 hours. It is an older working class community so I have had zero issues with late night parties or loud music. I am currently in a basic apartment but will be looking to upgrade into a GSD (Granite Super Deluxe) soon.

After spending a month looking at over a dozen apartments, Aspenwood stood out even though I wasnt sure why. Maybe it was the rent, or the apartment size, or the gate/entrance security, but after living here for 6 months I have a good idea why I enjoy living here. Aspenwood is one of the few privately owned apartments, the landlord shows this in his day to day policies/procedures. To name a few: They dont add additional fees (all over apartment wanted 85 ish "sure bond" insetad of a security deposit, or $500-800 if you wanted to do a security deposit, for Aspenwood they only equire a $200 deposit, the surebond isnt even an option. (to be honest surebond sounds like a scam). There is no "convenience fee" added to your monthly bill, other apartments wanted to charge me a "convinience fee" for having a dumpster in the parking lot. There is only 1 way in, the always staffed security gate, there is no card to swipe, no button to press, no remote, the only way in is by going through the gate and guard. This was probably the top reason I decided to stay here, with just this small feature I feel safe and more importantly I feel that my girlfiend coming home late will be safe. The first time I pulled in to look at the apartments it was a bit of the hassel with the guard, off putting at 1st but once I was a resident I appreciate the effort the guard give in order to only let the right people in. The staff here is great, they know every tenant and are always helpful. Sandra especially gives extra effort to make sure all is well with me. Every weekend there is always yard work and cleaning going on, the place is always kept clean. Pros: Affordable Safe Clean Cons: Parking is limited (better than most for the I-10/610 area, but still limited) Sandra has a day off, she cant work 6 days a week Laundry rooms are nice when they are all working, but on few occasions there are several machines out of service at the same time. (to be fair, they use a vendor that setup and repair/monitor the machines, the maintance for them isnt in-house) other: Noise- I can only speak for myself on this one, I have mormons living below me and a quiet family living next to me, I would not have known they existed by noise alone. I'm sure this varies depending on your neighbors, but for me I've never had a problem.

I just can't recommend this place. Glad that other reviews had a good experience here (the main reason why I moved here in the first place) but overall I have not enjoyed my time here and am quite anxious to move out. First off, I will try to be fair and say that alot of the issues I had were not completely the fault of the management. In fact, I do appreciate the gated community and maintenance has always been timely at least with my own apartment fixes. Now with the bad: the laundry facilities have been a huge nightmare. Found poop once in the machines, stray dogs and it seems like they are always broken. My apartment has had a consistent bad smell since I moved in. My experience with management has also been hit or miss. I won't list names, but overall i have not found them very approachable. So I will say this is not a bad place at all considering the price. But not enough to make me want to stay. I'm glad others had better experiences and hopefully others will to, but for me I will be glad when my lease is up.

I recently read a news article about handing out $25 fines to unsupervised children on the proeprty and I would like to say kudos! This is an amazing idea and hopefully will have parents take responsibility of their children. It is not the property responisbility to watch and supervise their children. I commend you for enforcing this and hope that all communities will follow!!
