What Residents Say

Maintenance staff respond quickly and residents praise the physical look of units and grounds, but persistent gate failures leave the community vulnerable to theft and break-ins. Office staff are difficult to reach, security deposits face heavy deductions with little explanation, and key amenities like the pool have been closed for months. A fence-sitting complex: good building bones and reliable repairs undercut by management inattention and security lapses that affect daily life.

Recent shift: New management took over within the last few years; residents report a sharp drop in service quality, office staffing, and gate maintenance since then. The pool closure since January 2025 is a recent, unresolved issue.

Praised for

Best for: Pet owners who value quick maintenance and don't mind limited guest policies or towing enforcement.
Think twice if: Gate failures and poor office communication are chronic. Security deposit deductions are steep, and the pool has been closed for months. Car break-ins, package theft, and aggressive towing of guest vehicles are documented.

Common Renter Questions

What are the guest policies at The Viridian?
Guests are limited to 2 consecutive days and 8 days per month total. Visitor parking is in front of the office, subject to space availability. Guest cars parked elsewhere have been towed even with valid visitor passes.
How long has the pool been closed?
The pool has been closed since January 2025 with no timeline given for reopening. The barbecue grills are also inaccessible because they are in the pool area.
What should I expect for my security deposit?
Residents report heavy deductions for carpet ($600+) and other charges, often reducing deposits of $1,700-$1,800 to refunds of $144-$500. Office staff are slow to respond to questions about the breakdown.

Over three years, residents praise Stone Chase for its quiet, well-maintained grounds and staff who solve problems fast. Javier and the maintenance crew (Jeff and Erick) stand out for their speed, attitude, and genuine care, though some note the units themselves look dated.

Madeira Apartments

3.5(147)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Five-star reviews consistently praise Madeira's responsive maintenance team, especially Geno, and engaged management led by Selinda and Felicia. The quiet Northeast Side location, clean grounds, dog park, and pool draw long-term residents. The main caveat is sporadic reports of roach infestations over several years; some tenants found the non-refundable pet deposit frustrating when damages occurred.

Cielo Apartments

Cielo Apartments

3.0(223)✓ Google-verified

Living here often means battling unresolved pest and mold problems while facing an unresponsive office. When maintenance does show up, some staff like Jacinto perform well, but systemic issues-roaches in walls, wet-sealed mold, broken appliances-persist unchecked for months. Residents report feeling disrespected and gaslit when raising complaints. Amenities advertised online remain largely unavailable: the pool stays shut for weeks on end, the gym requires special permission even during posted hours, and fitness equipment sits broken. Leasing tours are friendly, but the contract period reveals a stark shift in how the office treats tenants versus prospects.
