What Residents Say

The Keller Apartments offers budget-friendly rent in a north-central location, but reviews split sharply on whether it delivers. Newer management has cut maintenance wait times to 24-48 hours and eliminated bug complaints for some tenants, yet dozens describe chronic roach and ant infestations, non-functional hot water, and move-in units far dirtier than toured models. Staff turnover and leasing office availability remain pain points; one 12-year resident cited gunshots and dismissive responses about security.

The complex lists renovated units with granite counters and fireplaces, but most negative reviews reveal thin flooring, warped cabinets, and units that look nothing like the tour before move-in. Pet fees run $300 deposit plus $25/month. A handful of satisfied recent tenants praise the price point and current management's turnaround; others warn that promises made during tours do not match the apartment you receive.

Maintenance, Management & More

Pet-Friendly Apartments
Pet deposit and fees are competitive; some tenants satisfied, but pest infestations (roaches, ants) undermine pet-friendly appeal.
Affordable & Section 8 Housing
Rent from $499 attracts low-income tenants; new management improves value, yet maintenance backlogs and unit quality issues damage affordability proposition.

Common Renter Questions

What are the pet fees at Keller Apartments?
Pet deposit is $300 one-time; pet fee is $25 per month.
Does management respond to maintenance requests quickly?
Under current (new) management, maintenance requests are often completed within 24-48 hours. Prior management typically took weeks or months.
Should I expect the unit I tour to match my move-in apartment?
Multiple tenants report move-in units were significantly dirtier and featured different appliances and finishes than the toured model. Document the tour unit in writing and inspect your unit before signing the lease.

Maintenance failures dominate the experience. Repairs like toilet fixes, AC units, and dishwasher replacements languish for three months or longer while office staff give promises they don't keep. Water leaks from upstairs bathrooms damage ceilings and floors, all three pools sit broken or empty, and pest infestations persist despite requests. New management (Lexy's team) and individual staff like Amy win praise for friendliness and effort, yet operational breakdowns continue. Residents report being told apartments are "move-in ready" when they need extensive fixes, and charged $900+ cleaning fees on move-out after years of unresolved issues. The complex advertises itself as luxury apartments with amenities, but reviewers consistently encounter aging infrastructure, noise from thin walls, and management indifference. A few five-star reviews credit the new team's friendliness and lower prices, but eight of the last 16 reviews are one-star complaints. Long-term residents describe three years of problems; a month-long tenant lists seven unresolved work orders in five weeks. The pattern suggests systemic failures in maintenance staffing or accountability, not isolated incidents.

Sandra and the office team earn consistent praise for treating applicants with respect and walking them through leasing without judgment, even when applicants have prior housing concerns. Maintenance responds same-day, apartments include all utilities and Google Fiber internet, and the grounds stay clean and quiet. Parking is tight, but most residents weigh that against the affordability and convenience elsewhere. Reviewers highlight the renovation quality, cool AC, and absence of pest issues. The move-in special (reported at roughly one-third of monthly rent) appears regularly. New management is noted as a marked improvement over prior operations.

Strong leasing staff, particularly Evelyn, make new move-ins feel genuinely supported. Grounds stay clean and rent stays reasonable. But a subset of residents report severe roach infestations, mold painted over in units, and retaliatory treatment after lease signing that required corporate intervention. Staff attitudes reportedly shift dramatically once paperwork is signed. The roach complaints span multiple years with no sign of resolution. Management responsiveness splits sharply. Some residents see swift maintenance replies and respect; others describe threats, excessive fines, and retaliation for complaints. Maintenance calls for legitimate issues like bathroom leaks got prompt fixes. But pest problems and poor initial unit condition define the negative reviews and appear unresolved.
