The Ascent Apartments

The Ascent Apartments

3.1(159)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

The Ascent sharply divides: recent guests praise rapid move-ins and staff like Darlene, Gloria, and Steven who go above and beyond. Long-term residents report a different story. Since 2021 management changes, complaints dominate: work orders marked complete without work done, no hot water for weeks, pest control fees charged but service never arrives, water bills jumping from $40 to $120+, and roaches and rats throughout. Unresponsive office, cars broken into, parking charged and overcrowded. One applicant alleges illegal retention of a $567 deposit after denial without required Texas Property Code disclosures.

Magnolia Flats Apartments

3.3(58)✓ Google-verified

Magnolia Flats has split resident experience tied to staff quality. When managers like Desiree and Jonathan are present, move-ins go smoothly and maintenance responds fast. But reviews cite persistent issues: water shut off without warning, roaches never fumigated, pool closed for years, laundry unavailable. Office closes unexpectedly. The biggest concern is deposit non-refunds and allegations that management misleads other landlords about tenant payment history, especially affecting Section 8 residents.

Dakota Apartments

Dakota Apartments

3.3(39)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Dakota offers low rents and a staff that some tenants praise, but chronic pest issues, inconsistent maintenance, and noise enforcement failures cloud the experience. Reviewers value the affordable pricing and parking but report ongoing roach infestations, delayed repairs, and management unable to control disruptive neighbors. The office team (especially Ana, Selina, and Juan) receives direct praise for friendliness and speed when engaged. However, tenants describe a gap between promises and delivery on maintenance response times and pest control, with some waiting weeks or months for repairs. Late fees, deposit disputes, and security gate failures add to frustration.
