Tenant Reviews for 2255 Braeswood Park Dr

We have been leasing a condo here since June 2014 and it has been the best place we have rented! I loved the huge space we had in our 1BR/1BA, the grounds, the location, and the kind security guards. I often stayed home during the day and constantly noticed the security guard walking by my corner unit to check up on it. I dealt with maintenance a few times and they were decent, though not always the quickest. However, my issues weren't emergencies so I didn't mind. The staff in the office was helpful, except I don't like that they limited the hours we could come by the office for package pickup. I'm sad that we have to leave in the next couple of months due to a work relocation, but maybe one day we can return and buy a condo here. All in all, a great place to live.

When we planned to move here we were super excited and thought this place would be great. The only thing great is the apartment size. The community is not all that great for renters. Below i have listed pros and cons. Pros: -Spacious apartments -Quite community -Security is nice and can give you packages when the office is closed -Nice landlord Cons: -No parking after 10-11pm for front residents -Mosquitos so bad you cant enjoy your yard -People drive though at fast speeds so be careful even as an adult, there is no speed limit posted -Security is not 24hrs and only a watch out, do not really understand why we have them (they cannot tow cars that double park or do not have the *mandatory* sticker, do not tell people to slow down, cannot carry a weapon) -Maintenance keeps switching, hard to get anything fixed -Possums roam through your yard, so be careful what you leave out. They have not taken care of them and we have lived here 6 months. This was our first complaint to the office. -None of the doors in our apartment close, and the office has given a letter saying the maintenance people are coming to look at the foundation. We got three letters in the 6 months we have lived here and no one has come. Waisted my time staying home to let them in. -Flood lamps are out or not placed so every apartment has a light to be safe. I am a resident that comes home at 5-6am and if the front porch is not on my door is very dark. Also if you are a RENTER, you have no say so in the community. Only HOME OWNERS get to vote or say anything that the HOPA will consider . If you have a complaint, do not expect anything to be done about it. They simply do not care what renters have to say.

I have been to Houston for language school, and stayed at braeswood park apartments for 10 months with my friends. the management stuff was always kind to me even if ı had poor English they were patient. Maintenance guys are perfectly fast. every problem ı had was solved in 3hours. They were also extremely kind. I left my car keys inside the car and locked. They helped me to open it for hours. One of them drove me 20miles to look for used furniture. they were not working on Saturday but fixed my lamb Saturday at 6pm. Extremely helpfull. It was the safest place ever. Security guys start patrolling after 6pm. They gave me cell phone number to call them ımmedıately ıf ı'd saw anythıng wrong. I forgot to lock my door several times. nothing happened. I have never heard any car damaged, and for 10 months I have just heard one unit was tried to broken. It is relatively expensive but it's worthed. Thw only problem I had was cockroaches ( my biggest fear). Since I had a cat I didnt see them inside. I am going back to Houston, and I wish I had enough money to stay there this time or could find some roommates so that I can afford it.

I've been in this place for almost three years and I really like the peaceful environment here. It is like my parent's house. You can walk easily to the major grocery stores such as Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Fiesta, etc. It is in a perfect location, very close to medical center, a bus stop just there in the corner. The only negative balance is the management of the complex since the fee is now almost $300. I started with about $150. I guess tthat the financial negativism also hit this complex. However, when you call them they are very nice to help youj but the help may take weeks, so a more efficient manager may be required. Regarding the security, since the last episode of robbery last year, the security has been improved significantly although it is not the best because sometimes the door is open and anybody can get in. Nevertheless, this place is a unique place in the medical center and it is very convenient for any student, MD, phD, ARNP, etc.

nice apartments, rent is OK, close to TMC, good for students.....but something is wrong...though its not the management's fault....There is no electricity since friday (the day hurricane Ike arrived)!!....its been 6 days now and except us, the whole of Main/Kirby/Braeswood apartment complexes seems to have electricity. I won't be here next hurricane season, but if you do..please don't wait, take a longggg vacation.

I have lived here with my family for about a year and I think the Braeswood Park is great. Apartments are spacious, rent reasonable, environment nice, close to work, to shopping. Management and maintenance are excellent. If I had any problem it was solved in very short time. Complex is very quiet, a lot of trees, people are friendly. Practically, no problem with pest. I really like the complex and I am sorry that I have to live (new job in other city).

Very poor management (not professional and have gone through mangement changes a few times). Not safe several open cases of theft. The condos have aged as well...

I have lived here for the past two years as they are condos, these are incredibly spacious apt/condos. Management and maintenance is mediocre. Location is excellent relative to Houston sprawl (I have cut back on gas mileage since moving here). Crime rate is relative to the area, consider surrounding areas (some posh areas nearby (Rice Village), some poor rental apts nearby too). This area is somewhere in between the two. I would recommend this property if location, location, location is important to you; in terms of safety what do you expect living right smack dab in the center of one of America s largest metropolitan cities?

we have been living here since one year. It was really nice last year here. maintenance on time, no unwanted incidents, but since the beginning of this year we have heard some unpleasant incidents. During Rodeo this year, rocks were thrown @ one of the apartments close to the entrance. Apparently security has been tightened on the property but security guys will be only for 11 hours during anytime of the day. This didn't even help much. Couple of months back someone broke into the house. We don't know much info about the incident.Recently car break-ins happened to bunch of people. We feel like living here is no longer safe despite being one of the better neighborhoods in the city. We don't know whether its the same with the rest of the properties in the area.

I never lived here but i was looking at apartments and instead of going out to each one i narrowed some down and called ahead so i knew if it was worth going out there. The leasing staff doesn't seem to want to rent any of their propertiees becuase the lady that answered was just RUDE RUDE RUDE... i cannot imagine how much of an inconvenience i could have been for her - all i called to ask was the availability and what it runs for. I wouldn't even bother looking - if they are this rude even before renting (which is a time they should be almost too nice if anything) i can't imagine what it would be like living there and needing assistance of any kind!
