What Residents Say

Water at Elm Creek draws strong praise for staff responsiveness and clean, spacious units, with Susan and Sarena frequently highlighted for going above and beyond. However, a vocal minority report serious problems: chronic noise from neighboring children that management ignores, billing disputes that linger even after move-out, accusations of unfair treatment during community events, and claims that maintenance issues like moldy sinks go unaddressed.

Staff turnover or inconsistency appears to matter here. Positive reviews credit named staff members for security, leasing help, and quick maintenance. Negative experiences cite the same management names but describe very different treatment, suggesting the quality of your experience may depend heavily on who handles your case.

The Henry B Apartments

3.7(326)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Since new management took over in June 2026, the property has split into two distinct experiences. Leasing staff, particularly Kasey and Amin, receive consistent praise for professionalism and kindness; move-in quality is clean and welcoming. However, chronic issues plague residents: foundation flooding in unit 507 unresolved a year later, green pool, neglected landscaping, valet trash not delivered, and management unresponsive to formal complaints and repair requests. The transition created systemic chaos, with applicants left without contact for weeks and promises about application fees forgotten. Management appears aware of problems but slow to act. Some residents praise recent improvements in morale under new leadership; others report ongoing neglect, unprofessional office conduct, and minimal compensation for serious losses. The complex is caught between better leasing experiences and frustrating maintenance and management failures that leave long-term tenants questioning whether the facility cares.

Management staff Danielle, Shelby, and Michelle earn consistent praise for attentive, compassionate service, and the maintenance team (Andrew, Al, Alfred) resolve issues quickly. Residents value the spacious layouts and quiet wooded location. However, vehicle break-ins recur in the parking lot, and management's response to safety concerns has been dismissive. One recent resident reported a bedroom window break-in attempt and felt abandoned; another struggled with an unfinished unit and poor leasing process.

Trails of Elm Creek draws long-term residents who praise staff and location, but reviews document escalating infrastructure failures and safety issues. Water shutdowns happen regularly with little notice, maintenance backlogs persist despite management changes, and several tenants report violent crime and break-ins. Mold, broken laundry machines, and hidden fees compound tenant frustration.
