What Residents Say

Older residents and family members appreciate the grounds, trees, and recent lock and paint upgrades. However, current tenants report months-long elevator outages affecting elderly residents, inconsistent rule enforcement, and a management office that ignores repair requests.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Residents report clean, quiet apartments with working repair systems, but face significant frustration with air conditioning failures and uneven staff professionalism. Two staff members (Sandra and Jessica) earned praise, yet overall management communication and neighbor conflict resolution remain weak points that undercut the physical property's appeal. The complex offers valuable community resources: a monthly food pantry, counselor support, fitness center, and learning programs. However, AC issues plague units, and tenants feel management prioritizes aesthetics over addressing resident concerns or creating a genuinely welcoming community atmosphere.

Long-term residents and families value the gated safety and tight-knit feel, backed by hands-on staff like manager Tammy. Tenants praise spacious layouts and kept grounds, though some report aggressive utility billing and lax parking lot upkeep.

The Ascent Apartments

3.1(155)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

The Ascent Apartments struggles with a stark divide between leasing-office charm and property failure. Some staff members (Gloria, Stacy, Steven, David) deliver warm, knowledgeable service, and model units appear clean and well-maintained during tours. Behind the doors, residents face months-long maintenance delays, no hot water for weeks at a time, pest infestations charged but never treated, water bills tripling to $120-$269, and a property neglected to the point of code violations and news coverage. The complex now operates under new management after years of deterioration under DJE Texas; early signs suggest possible improvement, but the pattern of broken promises and structural failures runs deep. Leasing practices also raise legal red flags. The company has kept application deposits ($567.50) without providing Texas-required rental selection criteria and denied applicants by falsely accusing them of lying. Residents describe systemic neglect: bathroom walls with holes, overflowing sinks, broken mailboxes, vehicle theft, squatters in empty units, and dumpster overflow. Multiple residents filed code compliance complaints and contacted local news; one reviewer noted over 20 citations on the office door after authorities were called.
