Tenant Reviews for 5900 N BRAESWOOD BLVD

I have lived here since June 2004 and I've watched it change from one management company to another. When I moved to this side of town I knew that it would be a perfect and safe community for me. I love the surrounding area, and I've always been familiar with the neighborhood for years while riding on the bus. I must say, because of convenience and the central location is the reason I have resided so long in the apartments. In addition to this, they are extremely reasonable for the condition. I've built a reputable standing relationship with the apartments and it's management, Letty and Lilly. They separately are two remarkable women but together they have and can truly get the job done. Of course every apartment complex have their share of issues. Here are just a few concerns that I've had over the years Landscaping (maintenance and up keep could be much better) grass is very scarce and way to much standing water which turns into mud when it rains. I would like to see more flowers and more grass that covers a lot of the dirt. Landscaping can really glamorize a house or complex. Parking (parking is very limited which leaves very little room for guest to park; this would also account for why paid parking is vital. It's alleviates residence taking additional parking space. I however hope that in the future, more space will be provided. Irresponsible pet owners- I absolutely abhore inconsiderate and irresponsible people who feel they are the exception to the rule. Not picking up pets has become the norm here and as much as we complain about this nothing is being enforced. Also sneaking pets onto the premises is a major problem. This could cut down on the pesky poop that's not being confiscated. Washer and Dryers- With continuous use these break very often. Not being able to fully dry my clothes is a pet peeve. A bigger pet peeve is not fixing it immediately or being considerate enough to post a sign for courteous purposes. Walk in gate access- all knobs should be changed out and replaced with newer knobs. My pet peeve is having to open the gate that has a latch instead of a knob. Also considering people with arthritic joints or sometimes weather elements that prevent the gates from properly working. Annual carpet cleaning- this use to be complimentary; something that was done annually but I'm not sure where things stand at this point. Implementing recycle bins- I love the planet, I would love for the apartments to climb on board with this idea. Water pressure in the showers should be improved. Sometimes I hardly get water and on certain nights my hot water doesn't work at all. Installing cameras- this would alleviate thieves and occasional break-ins, we could also locate pet owners who are not cleaning after their pets or owners who have not paid a deposit. Mainly this is safety for the complex. Are we able to afford a security guard? I would like to end on a great review, the maintenance staff is absolutely amazing and trustworthy. I have worked with them for years. I miss Antonio!!! I don't remember him leaving us but when he was here he was a diligent worker. They have even install things for you if you ask them. My only reason for leaving would be if I moved into a house. I love my neighbors! They have all been amazing to reside with and I love the apartments. They may have their cons but the biggest pro is Letty and Lilly. Thanks for being very understanding and patient. I think it also takes a great deal of empathy to be successful at this job.

I have lived at this community over 6 years, I would like to say that I am very happy and just recently renewed my contract for another year. Berkley Square staff and maintenance is great and very proffesional at all times. Office team from leasing to manager are very caring, problem solvers and always maintain me and residents very well informed. Maintennce team is very helful and every time I have requested a repair they manage to take care of it immediately. Mangament no matter what day or time it is always give full attention to any concerns and are all about great costomer service. I love their resident activities I get to meet my neighbors and meet new resident. Here at Barkley I would like to say that this is like a small community and every looks out for each other I love my neighbors and love the cleaningness too! I have actually referred family in the past and about to refer a very close friend tomove her in the next month I do notice that this property keeps 100% full most of the time that means that what I have stated makes lots of sense. THANK YOU!! ALEJANDRINA ALCANTAR

Crossing @ Berkley 5900 North Braeswood. I have lived in this community for 6yrs. and I love it. The property is well maintained and neighbors are very friendly. I addition, the management team is very professional, friendly and courteous. I highly recommend this community. Sincerely, FeiciA

I just renewed my lease and was happy to do so. I have lived here for almost 2 years and have never had an issue with loitering, loud music or unfriendly residents. The staff in the office always welcome you with a friendly smile and are eager to help. I have a 10 yr old and loves to spend his time in the pool. The pool is always kept clean and that is a plus for me!! My unit was an updated unit so I hardly ever call for maintenance but when I do call, if even if its after hours the respond is very quick. The parking can be an issue for some people but personally I have have not had an issue with parking, I have my own parking spot and everyone truly does respect the reserved parking spots. The complex always looks clean and safe. Another thing that I really like about The Crossings is that the gate is always WORKING!! If it does break the office will quickly call to get it fixed and that means alot when it comes to safety and uninvited guests in the property. In the summer time I love to walk around the property it feels right at home!!!
