Tenant Reviews for 2255 Braeswood Park Dr

The management at Braeswood Park don't care any of your concerns eventhough you tell the problem again and again. If you are with a family, definitely you don't want to live in this property.<br><br>First of all, the apartment built so close to each other that you hear the noise from other apartments acroos the wall, insulation on doors and windows is very poor (hey what you expect from a 20 year old building).<br><br>Even do not think to open your windows even if you are dying for fresh air, if you dare to open your windows then be ready for smoke, bugs and noise. The electricity bills are very high due to poor insulation and water bills, please don't even ask for it....<br><br>Hey you want to resolve your problems with management, forget about it. I would not recomment anyone to live here but if you have no choice and you think you can take a risk to live here, go look for surrounding properties you bet you find a great deal.<br><br>Well the management is not really interested in you if you did not signed a contract for more than a year or so if you still want to live in this property with bugs, mosquitos, noise, burglary hey no no no no no I won't dare to live in that mess..... <br><br>If you are interested in a well kept and organized complex stay away from this one.

Recently increse in theft incidents and very low occupancy rate, I would recommend to stay away from this property. No wonder if you find there drug dealers and psychos living in some of the apartments. <br>I would never want to live in this apartment complex and don't even dream about buying any condominiums there and even if you want to think about living there, please check the police statistics, bad bad place....

Our family has lived at Braeswood Park for the past two years. We have lived in two apartments here... the first one was AWESOME. Huge 1bdrm with a study... you could get lost in it!!! We moved to a one bedroom and it has not been so great. The bathroom door sticks so that you have to put all of your weight into it to get it open, our dishwasher leaked out into our dining room and now the carpet smells sour (after it was fixed and the padding was removed... I want new carpet), the windows in the bedroom don't close all the way due to foundation problems and the pipes are very loud. The management is great though!!! They are very accomodating and the price for rentals is reasonable. I would not spend the kind of money they are wanting to buy one though!!! That's just nuts! Like I saw in another posting, they are too old to charge $140 for a one bedroom... but overall, we love the complex. Very quiet and friendly. Lots of trees.

I have to say that I am so sad that I have to leave this place. My lease is up in a month and as a single student renting...I am sad to go. I wish I could of had my lease extended, but I understand there decision to sell. Although I have lived here for a long while and no one has bought it yet so if they dont keep honoring peoples leases there will be no one living here!!!! Anyways...nice place..sad to go. I cannot find anyplace I like. I have a month left and I am still looking. I am spoiled as well.

I can honestly say I have enjoyed my experience living here. The apartments are large for the amount of money you pay. Everytime I have had a maintenance issue, the problem is addressed within a day usually. The office staff has always been friendly and helpful. The area is great becuase it is close to everything. As a young single female, I always felt safe, and never had any major issues. The property was quiet and people seemed to mind their own business. There were not a lot of kids running around, which was a HUGE PLUS!!<br><br>I must say I am disappointed with the whole condo deal. I was offered no longer than a six month lease, and as a student, I don't want to deal with moving mid-semester. I understand what management is trying to do, though. <br><br>It is quite difficult for me to leave because I have grown accustomed and spoiled with my huge floor plan, double sinks, big walk-in closet, and reasonable price. I am moving to a loft that is much smaller and more expensive. It is a shame the management is becoming less accomodating to renters; I am sure there would not be as many vacancies if this were not the case.

I work for Methodist Hospital in the Medical Center and it is so much better now that I live so close to work. I can not believe that I commuted from Sugarland for so long.<br><br> There are plenty of apartments in this area but I decided on Braeswood Park because of the attention that I received when I wanted to see an apartment. I went to some of the newer properties along Kirby first but when I saw what price they were asking and the level of attention that I got - I quickly decided that the value was not there. I had to wait in the lobby forever and then they acted like they were too busy to actually show me an apartment!<br><br>At Braeswood Park I was given information on their condos at the sales office and then directed to their leasing office. This is the first place I went to that actually acted like they wanted to help me. After living here a while, I am definitely glad I chose this property. I found out one of my coworkers bought a condo here and we car-pool to work now. I am definitely glad I looked around a lot first and saw what else was out there.

My husband and I have lived here for about 2 years and for the most part have liked it. The pros: Most of the apartments are huge (especially the 1brdrm with a study), this does not include the newer ones at the front of the complex. Maintenance is always friendly and usually fixes the problem right; if not, they come back to do it right. The price when we moved in was reasonable for the size and location (near med center). A big plus for us was the fact that they allow big breed dogs...I've noticed people complaining about that here, but they shouldn't move to a complex, the ONLY complex in this area, that allows large dogs. That's their own fault...if you don't like large dogs and their barking, DO NOT move into an apartment complex that allows large dogs! But, now that it has transitioned into condos, the rules have changed...if you're looking to buy one now, you cannot have a large breed anymore unless you lived here before that went into effect.<br><br>Now the cons: These are quite old apartments, and the foundation sucks. We've lived in 3, yes 3, different apartments here and in every single one you can see huge cracks leading from the ceiling to doors/windows, which causes doors to stick or not open. Also sometimes you can't lock the door since the foundation shifted so much that the lock won't connect. But in all fairness the maintenance does fix that. Many of the doors and windows are not completely sealed all the way around, so in the summer it's hard to cool off and in the winter it gets very cold, especially when you are around the said door/window....obviously this has an effect on energy bills. The maintenance is unable to fix those problems. I am aware there have been a few car break-ins, but I am a petite female and feel safe walking my dogs by myself while in the complex. They recently changed into condos, and ever since then there has been a whole lot of construction which is loud and difficult to get your car around. As I said in my summary, these are great apartments, but no way would I ever buy one! Trust me, with the foundation as bad as it is and as old as this place is, go somewhere else to buy. Although this has never happened to us, we have heard 3 separate stories of residents living on the first floor having problems with water leaking into their apartment from upstairs washing machines or dish washers, so much so that it ruined furniture. <br><br>If these had not turned into condos, we would probably have chosen to continue to live here since we have had a satisfying experience. But I would never ever buy a condo here, just too old and too many foundation problems.

I moved in last February, only to get a notice a month later they were selling them into Condos. Now only the front portion is apartments. I have never really had any complaints besides this. I just finished moving out. I agree, Robin is not the most friendliest person, definitely ask for John. On a whole, I did enjoy living here, and had they not been selling them, I probably would have renewed my lease. <br>VERY QUIET. In the 7 months I lived there, I was only woken up twice. You cannot hear through the walls.

Okay. Let's get down to it. The maintenance people are fine. The construction is well warranted. I don't have a problem with these changes. I think Robin in the leasing office is one of the most abbrupt and rude speaking people i have ever met. If you ask her a question, she gets defensive and cocky like I'm personally interrogating her. John is excellent and I would advise speaking to him if you need answers. Otherwise, cage up the bird and don't go near her!

The management here is not up to par. They seem far more interested in their own agendas than to do many of the mundane tasks that are requested. My sink and toilet have not run at the appropriate levels for about a month and a half now, and have yet to hear from them regarding the matter, never the mind that I've come in twice to speak with the managers about this subject.<br><br>I still have a kitchen light that flickers on and off, and a microwave with a loose door. These have yet to be addressed either.<br><br>Even upon my notice of leaving, and the subsequent request to fax my rental history to my new complex (Briarwood in the Galleria, where the leasing staff are far more friendly and helpful), it took me two days, and three visits to get them to finally fax it over.<br><br>I believe that many of the management team are trying to accommodate their residents, but at the same time, trying is not doing. They are simply not interested in many of us who have not identified ourselves as future home owners.<br><br>My .02 is that people interested in a well kept and organized complex stay away from this one.
