What Residents Say

Staff at the leasing desk can be helpful during sign-up, but the complex suffers from severe operational failures. Residents report utilities cut off repeatedly, maintenance requests ignored for months, widespread pest problems, and unsafe unit conditions. Management promises improvements but does not deliver.

Units show signs of deterioration, with water leaks, mold, and nonfunctional appliances left unrepaired. The office does not return calls or emails. Laundry machines sit broken, and terms advertised (24/7 laundry, utilities included) exist on paper only. One reviewer had the city inspect the property due to habitability concerns.

Recent shift: Complaints about utilities, maintenance, and pest control have remained consistent over nine months. Two five-star reviews (5 and 9 months ago) mentioned helpful leasing staff, but one-star reviews dominate the last three months, citing deteriorating conditions and office unresponsiveness.

Praised for
  • responsive leasing staff for first-time renters
  • smooth initial application process
Watch-outs
  • chronic utility outages (electricity, water, gas)
  • unresponsive maintenance and management
  • pest infestations (roaches, ants, dust mites)
  • poor unit condition and mold
  • unfulfilled maintenance repairs
  • misleading leasing practices
  • unresponsive office communication

Think twice if: Avoid if you cannot tolerate frequent utility interruptions, slow repairs, pest issues, or unresponsive management. City of San Antonio has opened a case against the property.

Common Renter Questions

What happens if you break your lease early?
The complex charges 85% of remaining rent if you do not give 60 days' notice, plus carpet cleaning and deep clean fees. Some residents report seeing additional unexpected charges after paying this amount.
Is laundry available 24/7 as advertised?
The machines are available 24/7 in theory, but reviewers report that not all machines work at the same time, and sometimes none are operational. Management does not repair them promptly.
How are utility outages handled?
Reviewers report the complex experiences annual power and water shutdowns that last days. Management has not resolved recurring issues despite a contract with an outside maintenance company.

Oxford At Medical Center

3.7(147)✓ Google-verified

Oxford at Medical Center draws professional residents to its Northwest location near medical facilities and highway access, with some residents enjoying luxury finishes and quick maintenance for urgent issues. However, the experience fragments sharply: leasing staff professionalism ranges from warm and attentive to dismissive, repair timelines for non-urgent items stretch beyond two months, elevator breakdowns last weeks, and pet waste remains a persistent complaint despite the gated setup. Residents report conflicting experiences and unexpected fees, suggesting consistency issues across management and departments.

Hunter's Glen Apartments

2.0(210)✓ Google-verified

Office staff including Sara and Angel are consistently described as kind and helpful, and the pool stays clean. However, the management's maintenance response is severely delayed or absent: residents report AC outages lasting weeks without repair, ongoing pest infestations, and broken promises on carpet replacement tied to lease renewal. Tenants say the company refuses to provide corporate contact details and shows little accountability for health or safety issues, with some describing neglect of non-English-speaking residents. Parking is chaotic with no permit enforcement, mailboxes are broken into regularly, and promised amenities like a gym and dog park do not exist. A minority of long-term residents praise the property's affordability and occasional quick fixes, but the dominant pattern across 146 of 210 reviews is frustration with unresponsive management, deteriorating conditions, and a mismatch between management's promises and actions.

The Riley

The Riley

3.1(111)✓ Google-verified

The Riley attracts strong loyalty from residents who praise individual staff-Norma Reyes, Ashlie, Latoya, and Melanie-for personal attention and going above their job duties. New management has attempted repairs after previous abandonment, but structural problems persist. Serious complaints centre on hazardous conditions: fungus, exposed wiring, holes in ceilings and grounds, and unaddressed repair requests. Tenants report the office as often closed and unresponsive, with water bills disputed and rent hikes unexplained. The building stock itself (decades old) compounds maintenance struggles.
