What Residents Say

Echelon promises amenities it cannot deliver: the gym sits largely non-functional, the pool has been shut for a year, and volleyball nets go unrepaired. Office staff rotate repeatedly, ignore phone calls for weeks, and respond only to rent violations, not resident problems. A few tenants praise individual staff members and the units themselves, but most report unequal lease enforcement, water outages with insulting compensation, and a business model that profits from parking fees while ignoring core maintenance.

Praised for
  • responsive staff on occasions
  • individual maintenance crew effort
  • physical apartment units themselves
Watch-outs
  • amenities broken or closed for months
  • frequent management turnover and unresponsiveness
  • parking inadequate and paid premium slots
  • maintenance backlogs and poor tracking
  • lease enforcement inconsistent

Common Renter Questions

Is the pool open?
No. Multiple reviewers confirm the pool has been closed for maintenance for over a year as of the most recent reviews.
Does the gym work?
Largely no. Reviewers report the majority of gym equipment has been broken for years, with missing weights and non-functional machines.
How is maintenance response time?
Slow. Residents report maintenance orders taking 2+ weeks, and periods where the office phone line was down for weeks, forcing all requests online with no guarantee of follow-up.

Tacara at Westover Hills

4.5(590)✓ Google-verified

Tacara draws praise from many for its staff warmth, particularly Veronica and Brianna during the leasing process, and for quick emergency maintenance when called. Pool, clubhouse, and grounds appeal to current residents. However, scores of longer-term residents report a pattern of move-out disputes where deposits are withheld for charges they contest; management allegedly sending these to debt collection without itemized lists or refunds. Car break-ins are mentioned repeatedly across reviews as a pervasive problem despite security cameras and an on-site officer, with residents frustrated that footage is withheld from police or not provided at all. Thin walls mean neighbors' noise bleeds through; dog waste litters common areas. Gate systems fail repeatedly for months, leaving the "gated community" claim hollow. Leasing staff and early impressions often shine, but the maintenance and security promises fade quickly. Over a five-year tenure, the gap between the welcoming sales experience and everyday problems widens. A military couple cited deposit and false charges; another noted management sent their account to collections with no corrected statement despite repeated attempts to pay. Multiple residents report the same aggressive response from staff when disputes arise. The structural and operational issues suggest a disconnect between marketing and delivery.

The Flats at Westover Hills by Cortland

4.4(397)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

The leasing and front-office team consistently earn high marks for patience, helpfulness, and genuine care, with multiple reviewers praising Amy Garza, Nancy, Daniel, and Yara by name for going above and beyond during tours and move-in. Staff turnover appears low, and maintenance issues reported are typically resolved quickly. Serious safety and management concerns emerge in minority reviews: car break-ins, tire theft, and missing packages have gone unaddressed or dismissed by management, security gates are reportedly left open frequently, lighting in the lot is poor, and responses to tenant complaints about these issues have fallen short. A few residents also report daytime construction noise, mismatches between what staff promise verbally and what the lease states, and maintenance gaps including pest issues and poor upkeep of common areas.

Five-star reviewers praise the leasing team, especially Alyssa Rodriguez, Sydney, Jeanette Ortiz, and Michelle Garcia, for patience and kindness during the rental process. The property feels safe for families, parking is ample, and package theft is rare. However, one-star reviews detail a consistent problem: maintenance requests languish unaddressed for weeks, office phones go unanswered, and broken appliances (washers, air conditioning, garbage disposals) are left partially fixed or abandoned. Grounds maintenance is also spotty, with common areas, breezeways, and pet areas not regularly cleaned. Beyond service delays, recent renters report uncharged move-out fees, a gate that frequently malfunctions despite being touted as secure, and gym equipment that sits broken. The property has real appeal for corporate relocations and military short-term stays, but living there long-term depends heavily on needing minimal maintenance attention. Staff turnover or understaffing in the maintenance department appears to be the weak link that reverses otherwise positive first impressions.
