Tenant Reviews for 3525 S SAM HOUSTON PKY E

This was a very nice property until section 8 was accepted! I have only lived on this property for a few months and someone has gotten shot, there is trash everywhere in the back of the property and it stays there no ever comes near the back to pick any of the trash up. The trash compactor is for trash but instead has piles of trash all around it almost reaching the parking lot. Yesterday evening when going to my apartment i found a soiled diaper lying on the stairs. I hate that i moved into this dump and I have already started looking some place else. I do NOT feel safe here and can't deal with another month of trash everywhere. The apartments sell you a dream when they show you the front of the property that is the only section of the property that is kept halfway decent. I wouldn't refer anyone to this property it is over priced anyways because of what you have to deal with. My neighbor doesn't leave his home without his hand gun that alone should tell you how bad this property is!!! Please don't waste your time viewing this property it is nothing that the management makes it out to be!!!!!

Believe what they are saying nice apts. But trash everywhere section 8 takeover. Someone got shot down in front of my building the neighborhood is great but these apartments are the worst thing in this area. One dumpster that always overrun. Trash everywhere

After a few months here I can say the experience has not been terrible but it definitely can be improved. The apartment units are nice and well maintained, maintenance responses fast, as well as management to some issues. The building I live in is quiet. There aren't a lot of kids running around nor is there noise or people hanging out too often. The main issue I have is with the trash. It is unbelievable the amount of trash that piles up daily. There isn't necessarily trash on the grounds but near the compactor. It is sickening to see people walk to the compactor and still through trash all over the ground. At times the smell is unreal. It's tough because as a resident that wants to keep the property nice, you can't even walk to the compactor because there is a mountain (literally) of trash. Management has recently made an effort to control the problem but I am not sure how well it will work.

The apartments overall are nice, its just these unruly section 8 individuals that are here that makes the environment bad. They hang out all times of night. They sit out on the stairway and you Damn near gotta make them move so that you can get to your own resident that you work for and pay full rent. Today there was an event held for the kids and of course we had unruly individuals that were there causing chaos over nothing in the presence of the kids. This individual went as far as asking someone to take it to the streets. Now who does this in the presence of their own kids? My point exYactly.... Just ------!

I lived at Alta Gardens for 1 yr while my husband was between jobs. The apt was spacious and I loved the garden tubs in the bathrooms. However, my bldg was directly across from the one and only dumpster for the entire complex and it was constantly over filled or the compactor was broken. This created a breeding ground for roaches and rats could be seen in the area at night. In the one year we lived there we were without water at least 4 times! The msg you would get on the office VM was that it was out of their control due to local construction. Water is included in your rent so I would expect a discount for those days we were inconvenienced and had to stay at a hotel just to be able to shower. NO SUCH LUCK!Getting a hold of management or maintenance after hours was often a problem. Once there was a fire on the 3rd floor in my complex on a holiday weekend and I was concerned because I didn't know if I should use any electrical appliances because the water the fire dept used to put out the fire was running down the walls in my neighbors apt. I called several times before the only maint. man on duty called me back and he said he couldn't reach management and was dealing with the aftermath of the fire by HIMSELF! I complained to Lincoln Property about that incident and never received a call back.For the most part everyone kept to themselves and I didn't really have any issues with noise. There were a few cars broken in to while we lived there, but that happens everywhere. Constables patrol the grounds occasionally. Safety did become a concern after my downstairs neighbor was robbed during the day when her daughter was home (she hid in the closet) and the apts never made any mention of it. Our lease was up the next month and we were glad to get out!

I have been at this complex for about 6 months. I really like my apartment and floor plan, but I am not sure that it's safe. Managment gave me such a hard time during the application process that I believed it was going to be a great choice. Recently it seems the a lot of undesirables are here. You see boys walking during the night, they are breaking into vehicles like crazy. You get out of your vehicle and they are hollering at you. I am afraid to come in late, and for my daughter to come in late as well. I pay $885 in rent and I have to look at trash all over the ground by the dumpster and the grounds keepers never sweep the trash from the walkways and management dont seem to take things serious. We don't even have the option of using the drop box anymore due to some thieves gaining access to the box. They have made no attempt to work with their tenants. I even think they have started taking housing! But, I guess that's easy money huh? I am so ready to move out so that I don't have to listen for every little noise

This apartment complex is a mess. The only good thing is that its quiet at night but thats when the thieves come out. The kids are always running up and down the stairs making too much noise. Sometimes you can hear the neighbors through the wall. Do not stay here. I have had several occassions were the water stopped running for two days and the power goes out all night. I'm moving out asap. Do not waste your money staying here. There are plenty of apartments that are worth paying your money too. They have pretty flowers when you turn into the apartments. lol.

I lived here and for the first 2 months that I was there, I encountered mice on a regular basis! I literally caught 10 plus mice in the 1st 2 weeks! The people that live upstairs from me are loud as all hell and my lights flash and dim in and out when they are playing soccer. In all I love the layout and amenities, but I can never use the laundry or weight room because the remote NEVER works! Then when I went to go wash a damn possum was looking right at me and I was too afraid to get out the car! The parking SUCKS! I am about to move soon, and I cant wait. I moved from a townhouse to an apartment and I dont like noise, because Im a respectable neighbor and I know my kids like to play so out of respect and consideration I always pick ground floors and always end up under the loudest damn neighbors. I hope if I move into another apartment I will have quieter neighbors. Did I mention the trash that at the 1 compacter and the dogs that eat through it?

I just fill out an application for these apartments i read the reviews and looked over all the negative things that they were saying, because i viewed the apartments and they were nice and you just can't believe what everyone say. But i was trying to reach the manager to check the status of my application and the f@#$% phone is off like where they do this at......this is a place of business WOW...not too sure i'm headed to pick up my deposit and continue my search!!!

The people in the office are prejudice. When they first open it was was great! They had activities for the kids, but that all stopped. After all them new people came, the apartments crashed. You would get a violation for small things. They don't even greet you, poor service. Never move here, if you have kids. They don't want them outside or playing at the park. Everyone has moved because of the manager sucks and all them in the office. Its best if you move somewhere family oriented, because they hate kids playing. They don't do anymore activites and its not a great community. The crime rate here is high, my house got broken into and 4 other residents on the same day. It is not safe here people. Please don't move here, this comunity is not safe and the office people are horrible! Alta Gardens is not safe!
