“i've been visiting my friend in these apartments for a little under two years, so far these apartments seem like a great family friendly place. i've herd of the burglarizes, but never seen any nor have i seen any cops called for them. There are two police officers who live on site, which makes me feel safe. i stay nights at these apartments with my infant. every one ive met here is friendly especially Monique,the property manager, who ive talked to several times. She helps out and does her best with any problems we've had. I feel safe walking around BY MYSELF with my daughter. none of the tenants ive met here are rude or disrespectful. Everyone usually keeps to them selves with an occasional "hello, how are you?".The days are usually a little noisy from all the kids running among-st the apartments playing, but around 8-9 the apartments are quiet. its a really nice place, with a play area and a pool for the kids to play in. overall every time ive visited these apartments its been great.”

“I dont live here but my boyfriend has and all the times ive been there yes in the daytime its loud and noisy cause the kids are playing but at night its calm and quiet everybody is already inside.. Never seen any problems. I did however hear about the home burglaries so I am iffy about this place sometimes but whenever i go to these apts they feel safe to me and the inside of the apt is legit nice bedrooms nice bathrooms it feels like home. Well that's my opinion on these apt.”

“Do not move here if you can help it. There have been 4 burglaries last week in 2 days; 3 weeks before that there were 4 burglaries. They pry open doors, windows and steal your car keys, electronis. Apperantly they are targetting the -------- community. The people who just got broke into just left as the thiefs just robbed them of everything including their bed and husbands clothes. Last Monday 8/4/14 a man was assaulted for his money and cell phone he was severly beat. They robbed my apartment a month ago stole all my electronics tv's, ps3's, tablets, backpacks, bikes and my car keys this happened between 830am-10am common broad daylight and "no body" saw this please. My neighboor just got broken into they pried open her door and stole her tv's and car keys aswell. The gates are always broken, there is people walking around all the time. THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE DO NOT MOVE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET ROBBED!!!”

“are these apartments still as bad as the reviews are reporting, I used to live here and when I moved they beginning to go down hill. I am moving soon and was hoping these have improved a lot.”

“The apartments are really nice for the price. However the management is not honest. I have had several things stolen from office staff (items delivered to office from UPS FedEx etc.) Also if you are not untop of your business they charge you unnecasary late fees and other things they you should not have to pay for. Also this is a tax credit property and accoring to management if fair market rate goes up so does your rent which makes it pointless to have a lease. Majority of the units are infested with rats and roaches. BEWARE of innocent office staff they will get you. This will be my last year her. Management has gotten HORRIBLE.”

“My husband and I were very interested in these.apartments due to the fact that they had garages and it had a townhome feel.to it the office staff seemed polite until they received our deposits! They wouldn't fax paper work to our place of work and i was having to call them repeatedly and they just had horrible attitudes. It got to the point to where i had to to ask for a fax verification and the ----- excuse my language kept saying what you don't believe over and over in a rude manner! I asked for my deposit back and went to pines of woodforest where they are very professional. Apartments are very nice the staff at lafayetter or the worse. I do not recommend to anyone.”

“In my seven years as a tenant at Lafayette Village Apartments, I have see all of their ups and downs considering that I moved in as soon as they opened. Most of the time, I felt safe, which was my main concern since I lived alone with my small child. There were instances were break ins would occur or group fights and shootings happened on the property but the staff was usually good about getting rid of those types of people. HOWEVER, now, I can not say the same. My apartment was burglarized several times this year and I even had one of the neighbor's guests rush through my door threatening us because he was impaired beyond control. I had spoken with the office regarding the break- ins, told them who I thought was responsible and in return they made me feel like I was the criminal! Every time I called or went in to speak with -------, who is the property manager, she was conveniently "unavailable". So, if you are comfortable living next to a bunch of low- life thugs who break in and steal all the things you work hard to get, then this is the place for you. If they continue to allow these types of people to live on their property they can expect to be considered the next Haverstock. Also, with a call to the local precinct I was told that the number of car jackings has also risen quite a bit. Definitely not a good place to live until they rid the property of the mass amounts of criminals that hang out there all the time. FYI - their busted a** rent- a- cop that thinks she is top flight security, is a complete joke. I saw her ONE TIME in the whole seven years I have lived there and it was me that she was harrassing, a rent paying tenant! Read more: http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/TX-Houston-Lafayette-V”

“i really dont know why everyone is complaining about the service in these apartments! i've been living here for about 3 years and every time i go in the office everyone is nice and my maintence request are always done. i really feel that there are ------ people in these apartments and im sure those are the ones complaining! I AM NOT ON HOUSING AND I PAY MY RENT ON TIME ALL THE TIME! and all of you ratchet people need to find ya a job! and quit complaining! if ya ------ people werent damaging the apartments and breaking everything these apartments would be nice! i think yall need to get the heck out! and stop bashing on them! yall "complainers" are probably the ones not paying and destroying the dam property!”

“I have been living here since the property opened back in 2006 and I LOVE IT HERE!!!!❤i have lived in sooo many different places and enjoy my attach garage. I have searched the whole area and cannot find a better place than Lafayette Village. The staff is always doing special events for the residents. Last year I got a free month off rent $$$ since I was one of the residents chosen due to PAYING RENT on TIME!!! The staff is always doing things for the residents. I hate when I see ppl post negative things about the staff cuz they are always nice and understandable. A lot of the residents don't care about there kids and leave them unattended at the pool and playground. These kids are horrible and go around destroying everything.The staff is always fixing stuff. I will be calling Housing about screening all of there clients porperI y cuz baby they are ripen the government off and we paying for them to live for FREE.I feel sick to my stomach when I see someone driving a Mercedes Benz and have all of their baby daddy's living there with them and committing fraud. For all of you out their on housing and scamming the government better watch out cuz you about to be reported. I work very hard for what I have and y'all want to complain about getting stuff fix and y'all broke the ----. We have curfew at 9 everyday. If ya cared sooo much read all of the letters the staff puts out and keep your damn kids inside and be a good/responsible parent instead of letting them outside destroying the property.”

“you these are some pluck up apartments when u do not see not one comment by management. they all are lazy and very rude. they enjoy having those ------ gatherings in the office. pool is never open. maintenance never fix ish, they always wants to fix ish and never replace it so that leaves me to keep calling and u never get an answer. the entire staff is very rude and soooooo disrespectful. management has no concern at all about her residents. so many ppl hanging out all times of day and nigh. and I swear someone knocks on my door and rings doorbell every day go to a window and see who is there its always bad ash lil kid trying to sell something. maintenance enter ur apt and always leaves they nasty trash around for u to pick up also b careful bus after they leave my spot and when I return im always finding it very odd that my patio doors has been left unlock for reason hmm u b the judge. anyways I WOULD NOT TELL ANY ONE I MEAN NO ONE TO MOVE IN THESE RATCHET ------ ASH APT. THEY NEED SECURITY IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. ONCE AGAIN VERY RUDE STAFF THAT NEVER ANSWER THE PHN AND NEVER IN THE OFFICE BUT I FIND IT FUNNY BCUS WHEN ITS TIME TO PAY RENT I ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM ALL IN THE OFFICE. RUDE!!! RUDE!!! RUDE!!1”

“I moved to the area for the school district for my children to attend. I usually don't complain but for the last year I've had an issue with the crime in the apartments. You tell management what's going on, to me its not enough concern. Supposed to have a courtesy officer who is a constable. You. NEVER SEE HER PATROL THE APARTMENTS. If she did she'll report lights out on the buildings for tenants safety. Never enough parking close to where you live, cars getting broken into, as well as apartments. I've asked the management several times to ride the property at night to see what we go through yet has she taken any advice. Certainly I'm assuming its not a concern because she doesehave to deal with what we go through. I'm truly regretting moving here and had to sign another year lease.....lord why. Normally when a peace officer lives on property they get a discount rate but if the job not getting done what's the purpose? Suggestions that a security guard can be hired from night fall to 6a.m. we are paying rent why not make home feel safe. Scared to get out your vehicle most of the time. Can you I'm agine coming home and no porch light to see your key hole and its automatically lighting pitched black dark. The crime is RIDICULOUS people hanging out smoking weed, just waiting to see what they can steal next.....be”

“one of them young managers was jealous of me when I went to apply the ----- tried giving me a handycap apartment my boyfriend even noticed that she was hating. I wanted to slap the ---- outta her for trying to give ma a handy cap apartment!! -----”

“The simplest way to summarize these apartments is DONT MOVE HERE. It is extremely noisy and ------. Its a very unsafe building with plenty of drug dealing,fighting and soliciting. YOU WILL REGRET MOVING HERE!!!! The staff is rude and can careless about their tenants. The rent is constantly going up and I have wrote many letters to the office about improving security and they have yet to do anything! Again, YOU WILL REGRET MOVING HERE!!!!!”

“I lived there for my whole 1 year lease.. I was not going to renew so I was just planning on moving out as soon as my lease was up. Come to find out I had to give a 2 month notice so I did. I paid 2 extra months and still moved out due to financial situations. Now after 3 months I tried calling about getting my deposit back and they say I owe Over $500 after I spent 2 days cleaning and scrubbing and making sure everything was perfect. The office people are very rude and dont not give a care in the world about anyone. I was never late on my rent. I called a few times due to some problems with leaking water and microwave not working. They never tell you when they are coming to fix anything and will just barge in whenever they want. Nothing I asked to get fixed ever got fixed. I try calling to ask questions and they never answer the phones. They office ladies take off in the middle of the day and always leave the be back soon sign up... I understand they get a lunch but this goes on four hours and hours. This place is crap and its gunna stay that way if they keep letting all these ------ people move in and let all these no caring ladies work in the office.. I will be calling the main office to complain.. They work for O'Ryan Realestate from what i am told..DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------ ------ ------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I WROTE A REVIEW ONCE, I'M WRITING ONE MORE TO ADD ON TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. $400... FOUR HUNDRED FREAKIN DOLLARS IS >NOT< A SMALL LUMP SUM OF MONEY. $400 IS A LOT OF MONEY, AND FOR YOU MONEY HUNGRY PEOPLE TO DEMAND SUCH A HIGH DEPOSIT AND >REFUSE< TO GIVE IT BACK AFTER THE WALK THROUGH WAS DONE AND NOT A PROBLEM WAS FOUND, IS COMPLETE BULLS***! DO NOT RENT WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE LAZY. THEY ARE LIARS. THEY ARE RUDE AND LACK THE SKILL OF COURTESY CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ARE OVER PRICED FOR THE QUALITY THEY GIVE. THE COMPLEX IS ------!!!! AND IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ANY ONE TO LIVE.. TOO MANY THUGS HANGING AROUND. TOO MANY "WEIRD" UNKNOWN PEOPLE WHO COME ABOUT. WEIRD NOISES AT NIGHT. DIRTY TENANTS WHO CANT PICK UP THEIR SHI*T .. SERIOUSLY. This place is just a dump.”

“My lease is about to end here thank god. It is very unsafe here definitely alot of thugs who like to vandalize alot this place needs to hire security or something because I can't even walk to the trash can without being offered drugs. For the rent that people pay here I think it's only fair that you offer you renters some kind of safety. Although it is very clean and never noticed a rat or roach in my unit witch was closest to the bayou they lacked customer interest I was without a fridge the first two weeks I moved here because of faulty repairs. And what bothered me the most was that the automatic gates break down every other day and when there's people outside waiting for someone to open the gate for them they have security codes if they are not shared that one person is not meant to be there yesterday a person did that and scraped his car”

“I moved in here like a month ago and I'm already moving out I was robbed at gun point in my own garage they stole my purse and the keys to my car it took way more money to get things fix then they took and when I went to the office to get out of my lease the lady would just randomly not be there every single time so now I'm stuck living back with my dad a broken lease on file over 300 dollars and car repairs and id fees and other things and I'm scared everywhere I go now...bottom line don't let the shinny exterior fool you like it did me.”

“I really do not recommend these apartments to anyone unless they like feeling unsafe at night...my kids don't feel comfortable evening walking outside at night, loud music is consistently played no matter what time of the day or night, kids running all over the place day and night! The office staff is rude at times and they have the nerve to do these random inspections. My apartment has small roaches that no matter how much bleach we use or how clean we keep our place they still seem to show up.....and then they have the nerve to go up on rent....I thank GOD for a place for me and my family, but we wont' be there too much longer if GOD say the same!!!”

“When I first move here the management was very nice and respectful. Their staff is very rude and disrespectful very bad customer services....they pick favorites do not treat their tenants the same. I made several complaints to the office staff about my child being bullied and they did absolutely nothing. The office staff have private parties at the pool and community room after hours and tell the residents that live here they can't get in the pool where they pay rent. They continuously say they have a courtesy office and we've never seen one. I most definitely do not recommend until they have new staff.”

“AT FIRST THIS WAS A NICE PROPERTY TO LIVE ON, AS MANAGERS CHANGED THE PROPERTY CHANGED. ITS A DIFFERENCE IF YOU TRULY SCREEN THE RESIDENTS INSTEAD OF JUST WANTING YOUR PROPERTY FULL....IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN I'LL SAY IT'S NOT THE PLACE TO BE, THESE APTS. HAS GOTTEN ------ NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU STAY TO YOURSELF, IT'S AN ISSUE. DRUGS, DRAMA PARENTS DONT CONTROL KIDS....IN THE DAY TIME IT'S QUIET AT NIGHT THE TRUTH COMES OUT. IF I WAS A MANAGER I WOULD DRIVE AROUND MY PROPERTY TO SEE FOR MYSELF, WHAT'S GOING ON INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO TEY SAY IT SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WONDERFUL,THATS WHY THIS LOCATION WAS PICKED. THERE SUPPOSE TO BE SECURITY IN THE APTS. BUT YOU NEVER EVER SEE THE OFFICER!!!!”

“I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE, I SEE THE DRUGS ALL OF THE THUGS... MOST PEOPLE THAT LIKE HERE ARE NOT NICE, DO NOT HAVE ANY MANNERS, SOME MICE, THEY DO NOT FIX THINGS IN A TIMELY MANNER!FEEL VERY UNSAFE”

“Moving to these apartments was the biggest mistake I could have made for me and my family. The management there is very rude, and are more worried about their "bonuses" verses the safety of the occupants there. My apartment had roaches from day one, there is no security, no outside lighting, alot of night traffic through out the apartments, my kids and i do not feel safe going outside at night. It's just a mess and they have the nerve to harrass you about rent which is way too much for "low income" apartments. I would not recommend these apartments to anyone, and if you can help do not move here or you will regret it, just as much as I have. I can not wait for my lease to be up!!!!!!!!”

“i have been here 2 years...i have not had any problems here...great place for family to live...”

“dont move here there rude except for monique not perfessional and the rent isnt worth the pay, they have roaches, spiders,snakes and the neighbors are very noisy the maintence is nice though”
