What Residents Say

Knoll Crest is deeply split. New management (Anterra Group) has earned strong praise for fast maintenance and friendly staff, with some tenants renewing leases and praising same-day AC repairs and renovations. However, older complaints of roaches, mold, chronic AC breakdowns, and unresponsive office staff remain vivid and serious; tenants report calling 19 times without reaching anyone, weeks without cooling in Texas heat, and flooded units. The timing and extent of these issues (some from recent months, some older) suggests inconsistency or incomplete fixes rather than systemic resolution.

Weekend gatherings, two pools, and a gym appeal to residents, but safety concerns (robberies, stabbings) and maintenance reliability remain contested. Renewal intent exists among those served by new staff, but warnings against signing a long-term lease are blunt and frequent.

Recent shift: New Anterra Group management (5+ months ago) brought faster maintenance response and renovation activity, earning lease renewals and 5-star updates from some tenants; however, major AC and flooding emergencies continue to surface in recent weeks (4 days to 3 weeks ago), suggesting the turnaround is incomplete or uneven across units.

Common Renter Questions

Are maintenance emergencies like AC breakdowns handled quickly?
Highly inconsistent. New Anterra management reports same-day AC repair; older complaints describe weeks without cooling and 19 unanswered emergency calls. Check staff responsiveness before signing.
What pest control is offered?
Pest control comes out every Monday by tenant order, but reviewers report roaches and gnats returning despite treatment. Some tenants do their own pest control in addition.
What amenities are included?
Two pools, gym, and community events (food trucks and social gatherings) for residents. Quiet grounds noted by multiple tenants.

Staff like April and Danya earn consistent praise for responsiveness and professionalism; many residents report clean, quiet living and quick maintenance turnarounds. Yet a substantial portion cite roaches, slow repairs on serious issues like leaks, and broken security gates. The complex promises gated safety but struggles to deliver; pest control appears inconsistent across buildings. Location near the Medical Center and Loop 1604 attracts families and working professionals. Amenities include a pool, Wi-Fi lounge, and coffee bar. However, reports of odor, smoking through vents, and aggressive towing suggest underlying management challenges beneath the friendliness of select staff members.

Long-term residents and recent arrivals report sharp differences in experience. Staff like Emily and Bruno earn consistent praise for speed and care, and some find the community clean, quiet, and affordable. But multiple reviews spanning years describe persistent plumbing failures, flooding, pest problems (cockroaches, bugs, crickets), overfull dog waste bins, and serious security lapses including stolen vehicles and break-ins. Management responsiveness seems to depend heavily on which staff member handles your issue; some report ignored repair requests and poor communication after lease notice. Best suited to those whose apartment doesn't need repairs and who can overlook deferred ground maintenance.
