    Shadow Brook Apartments - 1 BR loft style

    Shadow Brook Apartments

    (4 reviews)

    Been here going on my sixth year, I like it here and the price is right. My only suggestion is…read moremake sure you get the size apt you want right off the bat. Don't compromise because they don't let get a bigger apt once you move in, that's where you stay. Doesn't make sense to me, but that how they do it. I have the efficiency without the loft. I like it but wish I had gone for the 1 bedroom.

    I currently live at Shadow Brook Apartments. I renewed my lease after living here a year and I…read morereally enjoy it. The grounds are well maintained, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and quick to respond. The structure of Shadow Brook is a non profit and the apartments are leased for ranges, based on your income (though it IS NOT section 8 housing). They offer efficiencies on up, and are usually on a wait list. They only show apartments on Fridays and do not always have one to show each Friday, though they do have a photograph album of model apartments and floor plans. Initially I was nervous to rent an apartment without seeing the unit first, but I couldn't be happier. With the option I chose (the loft style 1 bedroom) I have plenty of space and am able to live on my own affordably ($490 a month rent). Many of my friends and classmates pay nearly double to live, in many cases, a worse complex. When I moved to Arlington and told people I live at Shadow Brook I usually got an odd look, and some informed me that it used to be bad, but that was before Foundation Communities bought it a couple of years ago. Today, I have never felt unsafe nor have I worried about being ripped off or felt like my neighbors were shady. Upon my renewal they cleaned my carpet for free, they offer residual pest control and special request pest control visits each Wednesday (at no additional charge, without limits) and they use ABC Pest and Lawn. In the back of the complex is a boys and girls club and at tax season United Way sets up and helps you file your taxes for free. At least once a month they have a "produce day" where fresh produce can be bought at a good cost in the front of the building. Its close to UTA (actually a shorter bike ride for me than a drive due to the traffic on Cooper) and well located. I will renew again next year if it continues to be the wonderful property I have enjoyed.

    Monopoly Place Duplex's - Black mold

    Monopoly Place Duplex's

    Worst place I've ever lived. My unit had repeated flooding and a moldy odor, and I discovered that…read morethe previous tenant had black mold, which they apparently did not properly remediate. I had health issues that began about a month into my time living there. I did a mold test and detected mold, and had to pester them for months to address it, and their response was to refer to the 'mold addendum' they make you sign when you move in, basically stating mold is a part of every day life, who's to say if it causes any medical issues, and you can prevent mold by cleaning properly. Never mind the repeated flooding, the evidence of black mold which I know they did not properly remediate (I have photos), and the lab test that showed current mold. They finally got a mold inspector out to my unit after legal pressure, and falsely claimed there was no mold, when the report they provided shows that there was mold. My duplex neighbor detected mold in their unit and developed health issues as well. Other neighbors have told me about mold impacting health in their units, major foundation issues, A/C issues not getting properly fixed, and gas ovens turning on spontaneously. Maintenance is completely incompetent, and the leasing office is petty and unprofessional. Don't let the outward appearance fool you. I loved my neighbors and the quiet neighborhood, but the impact to my health and well being was not worth it. *Updating review with pictures of black mold from previous tenant.

    Worst Management I…read morehad a house fire occur and the management of Monopoly Place Duplex has treated me as if I personally wanted the fire to happen. They have slowed the process of repairs and ultimately the return to my duplex. I am extremely upset with how they have treated me and handled the entire situation. I would not recommend Monopoly Place Duplex to anyone!!

    I had the opportunity to stay here and thoroughly enjoyed my time for one year. The condo was…read morecomfortable, with amazing views and large balconies , and in a fantastic location! Also within walking distance of great restaurants and just minutes from NorthPark Center. The Tower is close to the tollway making it incredibly convenient. The building was quiet, secure, and very well maintained, the staff were friendly,helpful and I enjoyed all the facilities that the building offered . I would definitely recommend Preston Tower Condominium to anyone looking for a wonderful place to live or stay.

    It is NOT a luxury bulding. It is most comparable to a senior living facitlity. Before you buy…read moreconsider some major issues at Preston Tower: 1. 50 year old cooling and heating system; swamp cooler; insufficient heat over water in winters. Mole infested air ducts which you smell and breathe. 2. Elevators that frequently do not work 3. Water system issues; old, never replaced pipes; leaks that happen frequently. Mole inside walls where leaks have happened. Apartments often flooded due to issues in a unit above, or next door. 4. Rogue contractors inside the building that have manipulated equipment, electrical wiring, and frequently cause issues in other units; and no applied rules governing noise and hours of construction. 5. A misguided hoa committee spent thousands on new furniture for lobby furniture that is unusable; bought unpadded carpeting throughout halls making it more like an old dorm 6. A never-ending cycle of management companies that try to improve the building, but met with an hoa that does not want to invest in capital improvements. 7. A large population of low income tenants that cannot afford the building, but cannot move; growing uncollectibles 8. Monthly HOA fees that continue to grow without amenities that substantiate. 9. An inadequate reserve fund; and more projects to fix that low income tenants can afford. 10. Remodeling and adjoining of units that cause infrastructure and devastation to neighboring units. 11. A non functioning architectural committee that has been negligent in approving some building remodels. 12. A leaking room into Penthouses 13. A non existent fire drill and practice for residents 14. Constant fire alarms going off and fines by the city for trucks 15. People often get stuck in elevators only to be rescued by city. 16. Neglected landscaping that has resulted in erosion and foundation weakness. 17. Balconies that require engineering inspection 18. Internal realtors that play games with clients buying and misrepresenting the building issues 19. Pending lawsuits that require settlements 20. Uninsured property issues due to water leaks, and other problems 21. Glass that is uninsulated; pushing replacement on owner 22. A waste management problem 23. Unlocked electrical boxes in floor-hallways along with water pipes and garbage 24. Pass HOA rules that are unmanageable; irrelevant and not enforceable 25. Garage flooding; antiquated entry gates; dangerour poles; unregulated fobs, and valets that do little 26. Most units have added washers and dryers; but 50% do not 27. A basement laundry that is inoperable much of the time 28. Contractors, service techs allowed into building unsupervised 29. A looming big assessment to bail out the building Take away: While views are great; the building is not a solid investment. Shop wisely, and beware before buying at Preston Tower. Any actual buyer is throwing their money away to currently purchase a condo. There a much better condos on the market, and this one is facing years of issues - much like condo's in other markets, such as Florida. This old building needs a big fix up. Good luck.

    Bel Air Oaks - Model Living Room

    New speed bumps are dangerously large and they are charging rent late fees for only the MOST poor…read moreand unfortunate renters during the pandemic: They just installed VERY LARGE triangular speed bumps at the main exit gate. I would have no problem at all with regular sized speed bumps, however these are so large, it stopped my car and I had to press on the accelerator to get up and over them in the most jarring way possible. Due to their size, it is EXTREMELY likely to cause SERIOUS damage to renter's vehicles, including mine, so I called the office. I was told they will take NO responsibility for any damages caused by their installation so I should stop using the ONLY exit I've used EVERY DAY for the past year and a half, seeing as I park my car within several yards of this exit daily. Instead I am forced to use the two smaller "Exit Only" gates that open on Alma, while trying to avoid being hit by one of the many MANY drivers who choose to ENTER through those gates, if they even open. One is currently broken and stuck closed. Additionally, it is important to note they sent out letters in March stating they would not be giving ANY leniency for April rent due to COVID-19. The stipulations stated in our lease agreements would not be waived in the slightest and late fees still applied. The only other option given was to sign up for a 3rd party app with a low rating, give THEM our bank account information, and pay them for rent in 2 installments. But that's only IF our credit score was high enough. Only those with good credit would be eligible to avoid late fees through this 3rd party app. Unfortunately, I was never able to get past entering some of my info. It said loading and froze. Over and over again. They made SURE that low income families who live paycheck to paycheck, lost their jobs, lost their health coverage, couldn't get through to the Workforce Commission to apply for unemployment, or encountered problems with the application, and couldn't afford to feed themselves or their children WERE DEFINITELY charged the appropriate late fees. It is REPREHENSIBLE that they charge a POOR TAX on the MOST poor and unfortunate renters during a global health emergency.

    I moved here because it was cheap and I was desperate and the front office was sweet (the old…read morestaff) but the amount of money I've spent on bug sprays and fixes I've had to do myself has made me realize it would have been better to go elsewhere. The first two weeks I had mold covering a huge section of my laundry room and water damage in the floors. It squished when I was downstairs and they didn't replace the floor although they did replace the section of wall that had visible mold. They fixed my downstairs ac but it still sprays black stuff (I don't question I don't want to know) and is so loud I've basically moved everything to the upstairs bedroom. When I first moved in- my place was infested with oriental cockroaches, red wood ants, spiders, wood roaches, and silverfish. They are TOO STRICT with parking restrictions because they're so paranoid people will abuse their apartment complex that you are only allowed to have someone visit three times a month. My boyfriend is only allowed three times to register his car a month (which you have to do every single time) so he doesn't get towed. Then it's an addition $8 each time. I can't sleep without checking the bed and spraying all the doors and windows with bug spray. I also can't sleep because it can't get under 77 and I have the ac on constantly and it's not cheap. The rent is so low I knew this wasn't going to be a five star apartment but they sent an email the day before that water would be turned off for the next day up to two days possibly for maintenance. I work with raw meats overnight for work so sleep during the day. I saw this email at 3am the morning of so I had no chance to get ready and asked them on updates through the day (when I was supposed to be asleep). They told me they'd update me... they never updated me so I went in person. The answer was we still have no idea but go to a gym and use the shower there. The new office staff doesn't seem to know anything that's going on because when I signed the lease I was told the parking was three times a week for visitors not a month! I regret this place. I can't rest ever when I'm here I'd rather be at work. I can't make this a home. I can't let my guard down. I have to spray every other day or I'll get an infestation of something. I am losing my mind. You can feel the changes in your health when you stay here. I don't care how bad things get it will never be bad enough to have to put yourself through this place.
