What Residents Say

Long-time residents appreciate the friendly staff, modern aesthetics, and proximity to downtown; some praise management events and the pet-friendly policy. But newer reviews paint a starkly different picture: roach and maggot infestations, constant train noise every 30 minutes, overflowing dumpsters, hallway filth, broken elevators left unfixed for weeks, and aggressive towing that targets delivery drivers. Common complaints cite slow maintenance response, security gate failures letting in homeless people, and a gap between the luxury marketing and the actual upkeep.

Trove Southtown

Trove Southtown

3.6(242)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Staff warmth and location draw residents, but maintenance responsiveness splits opinion. Nancy, Sariya, and Angela are named repeatedly as reliable and professional. Pool, fitness center, and common areas stay clean and well-kept. The Southtown address sits minutes from downtown, restaurants, and River Walk. However, some residents report ignored work orders, mold problems glossed over, and parking that discourages visitors. Recent management changes appear to have improved operations, though one long-time tenant notes six months of recovery work was needed. The complex offers loft-style one and two-bedroom units plus townhomes with move-in specials starting at $99. Wheelchair accessibility and 24-hour package access are confirmed. Reviewers praise quick turnarounds on AC and appliance issues, while others say maintenance shows up claiming it's their day off or marks jobs fixed without actually fixing them. This split reflects a business in transition rather than a stable problem.

Staff across multiple roles earn consistent praise for speed and courtesy, with maintenance (Ray, Norma, Rodolfo, and Ty mentioned by name) responding promptly and solving issues right the first time. New management has improved operations, and the Southtown location near the riverwalk and restaurants draws tenants who value walkability and central access to San Antonio. Leasing specialists and front desk respond promptly to questions, the pool stays well-maintained, and units are kept clean. Several tenants report staying months or years, citing the atmosphere and reliability rather than any single amenity as reason to remain.

Since new management took over a few months ago, Agave has turned around considerably. Residents consistently praise the modern finishes, excellent River Walk location, and the new team-particularly manager Justin and maintenance workers Ismael and Bourbon Berry-for solving problems quickly and treating residents with genuine care. However, a vocal minority raises serious concerns about parking garage security: vehicle break-ins happen regularly, security cameras are sparse, the policy allowing public parking has made the lot vulnerable to theft, and management's handling of incidents feels dismissive. Add in inconsistent office staff attitudes, door-access app confusion, and a referral payment dispute that lingered unresolved, and the property presents a tale of two experiences: excellent management paired with security and operational gaps.
