Tenant Reviews for 2608 Calumet St

As a resident of some years, this is a behind the scenes review of living on this property. Much of what previous tenants have said is very true. The property owner - Linda leaves much to be desired in her personality and professionalism. There have been several managers at this property over the years who seemed to have bi-polar personalties depending on the day you visited the office. The maintenance staff have always been nice and respectful. If you need repairs, the owner may tell you to fix it or charge you for their inconvenience. They also use the homeboy network, so if your air conditioning is out, it may or may not be fixed for several weeks. In addition, there is towing of unregistered vehicles and there are only 2 visitors spaces that are rarely avaialble. There is a gym, with malfunctioning equipment that could injur a tenant. The wash room may or may not have machines that are working and management is slow about repairs and will not post signs as a courtesy, so that tenants do not lose their money. The flip side of living in these apartments is you live in a great location and you are safe for the most part behind these gates, which do not work from time to time. On the outside, there is drug trafficking, prostitution and all sorts of undesirables. But on the inside, these apartments are quiet and decent for the price. The price is affordable and is ideal for students, couples or single parents. These apartments are a diamond on the rough side of 288 if the owner would recognize this. There are so many opportunities for improvement, but it would take the owner waking up to this revelation and making this a reality. Bottom line, if you can deal with the rudeness of the owner, and some of the things I have mentioned, you will be okay living here. There are no pets to worry about and you do receive fines for being to noisy or disruptive. The one thing I have liked about living here is that it is very quiet, safe and affordable. This is especially important if you want to live in a place with a great location, while putting some money aside to save for your ideal home goals.

I currently live at Calumet Court and it is a good price for the area that you live in. I am 3 miles from Rice Village and 5 miles from the Galleria. I also am just around the corner from UH and TSU. While it is not the most luxurious place, its clean and quiet. I have never had any problems with the management staff and I haven't had any parking problems. It is definitely not a place to go if you have alot of parties and what not. They are strict about noise and rowdy behavior. The area is coming up and its not a bad place to be. I am happy here.

his has to be to worst complex in Houston. My son is a college student at nearby Texas Southern University. When he first moved into the complex the manager and I had a disagreement, because she I question some of their fees, such as the water and cable being included in the rent. Which they later tried to say he would have to pay for it seperate. Because of our disagreement she had the audacity to say that I could not come on the premises unless I apologized to her. Now we all know that didn't happen. My son has to find other places to wash because the washing machine never works. His air goes out every other week, and it takes them a whole month to fix it. When asking the staff for an idea of when the air will be fixxed, they tell you when they get to it. They are very, very, very rude and unprofessional. If you have to time to file a legal complaint on the you should, because no one when paying their money should receive this type of service. You can do that by going to HAAonline.org click on residents and the dispute/mediation. Good luck because if you plan on moving there you will need it.

Calumet Court Apartments is ok, when you payin wha we pay it is not going to be a 5star place but their are nice inside and ok outside, parkin is not the bests. CCA is not that bad as everybody make it out to be, as long as you have your money for rent, everythin is cool with them. and make sure not to park your car outside the gate that is all i have to say. overall i give CCA a 7 which is very good for wha we pay. and Yes, I would recommend Calumet Court Apartments

The management staff is unreal. Those are the most unprofessional people I have ever run across in my life, especially the owner LINDA. And the manager is just as evil as her. When I first moved into MASTER DISASTER they advertised free cable and water on the brochure. Then they stick a white sheet of paper in the door that says you will have to start paying an additional $52.00 starting Jan. When I called to find out why, the owner Linda, starting snapping at me like a BULL DOG. I couldn't even get in two words and then she hung up in my face. The parking is so limited. Don't try to go out and have a good time with your friends because when you come back you probably will be parking across the street at the park where the dope dealers are. VERY UNSAFE:( The workout room doesn't even have working equipment and no AIR. You have to keep the door open if you don't want to die in the heat. The maintanence staff changes a lot. But honestly those were the nicest people there. At least they would speak. When its time to move out of that DUMP they give you a checklist with prices on it like if you don't dust off the ceiling fan it $25.00. It's just ridiculous. Please advise your love ones don't move there. Again I say "DON"T MOVE THERE".

If you want your car stolen, wet carpet, non-working air-conditioner, no where for guests to park, rude managers that THINK they are cute in their night clothes, or to be treated like you're in a dorm. This is the place for you. I've had everyone of those problems listed above and it's been terrible. I don't know who rated this place a ten but they must be smoking some serious marijuana. The driveway to get out of the this place sucks. You will damage your car heavily. Don't forget you're only eligible for two parking spaces because there are only 2 visitors parking spots. It's just a complete hassle. When I moved in initially everything was fine. After the 2nd week I realized I was screwed. The apartment manager ,Ms. Evil --- Jesse, was rude to everyone inside the complex that wasn't her smoking buddy. She often frowned didn't want to assist with anything and had these horrible lease signing parties. (She even dressed up). LOL. And on top of that you have to deal with a non-working workout area, no pool, a stove that shattered my glass pan on 200 degrees. It was a ridiculous experience. Lesson learned: Never rent in the hood, cause it's still managed by the hood as well as surrounded by people who will steal your stuff. The apartment maintenance stole money out of our apartment. Just be very careful. The worst part, they sent notices stating that you can't turn your A/C below 65 degrees or you will be responsible for paying the cost for the ac freezing. What air conditioner freezes at 65 degrees. There were spiders everywhere, in the bathroom, kitchen and backroom. Exterminating around there is a complete joke. Also, you have to pay the apartment manager $50 for a mailbox key, $20 if you get locked out of your apartment. No receipts. I believe the staff pockets the money for bad hair weave. They are just undeniably rude. I hope this sums up most of the issues cause it's just too many to write. BOTTOM LINE: DON'T MOVE IN THIS PLACE, IT'S CHEAP AND DANGEROUS. The owners of property need to be notified because people are getting swindled.

I would like to warn all those who are searching for an apartment- not to rent from this particular complex! management is horrible! The landlord along with her property managers are very rude & unprofessional. They run this complex like a concentration camp! You are at fault for every repair that you report & they request for you to pay for repairs.They thrive off upsetting their tenants. They are miserable; and what do they say about misery? It loves company. When you question them or challenge them concerning anything, you best look forward to being evicted. They are very dishonest!They treat your guests with disrespect! The maintenance crew appear to be drug addicts. They ask to borrow money and your keys.Also,the maintenance crew changes quite often. You can't have your front door open, nor sit outside. The landscapers cut the grass as early as 7:00 a.m. on weekends. It's annoying to hear a weed-cutter that early. Last but not least,after they have upset you, they always threaten you by saying they have a gun in their desk drawer. So if you don't take heed to this warning, and you move here, remember to bring a recorder with you when you go into their office & save all paperwork,submit all requests on paper for documentation. You will need proof of their behavior if you decide to bring them to court to assist with not breaking your lease. This is not a joke, this is not an attempt to savatoge the Complex; this is a serious warning! I wish someone would have warned me. I was referred to this website by a former tenant I saw in the area.

I am very disatisfied with the staff they handle themselves very unprofessionaly. linda and jesse conduct themselves like bullies, when something breaks down they accuse you of having abused it, and they don't want to fix it...they talk to you harshly and disrepectfully and when you take up for yourself they accuse you of lying about the dispute and write you up on a lease violation and threaten you with an evection. if you have guest or family over they threat them rudely, i have never in my life found people to be so ignorant! and it doesn't have to be like this, just because you have money doesn't mean that class comes with it... i am thankfull for websites like this one where you can warn people of the mistake that they would make by renting somewhere with the lack of quality that this place has, i hope that i have been of help to anyone, so they don't make the mistake i have :(

I live at this complex now and i dont ever go into the office. The staff does not care how good you are in paying your rent, they still show no respect, I mean they act as if there are no more apartments in Houston besides them. They are the rudest people I have ever met. Try to get something fixed and they will straight up tell you they dont have time to fix it. Its terrible. You almost want to ask for the management companies phone number but I dont think they even have one. They are pretty strict with rules and its a pretty quiet complex but they deffinatly act as if the tenants owe them something!!!

If you talk politely and nicely, then people are polite too. But the manager is a different species altogether. I totally agree with the previous posts. She will yell at you even if you speak politely. She definitely needs to take an anger management class. On the other hand, if you are on a tight budget, then this place is sort of OK. It is not safe outside (with drug dealers, hookers, and criminals on prowl), but I feel quite safe inside the gated complex.
