I'd like to preface this review by saying that I have never in my life been treated so well by an apartment complex that it made me want to give them a review. So, this is my first time ever posting a review for an apartment in my life. Anyhow, here are my thoughts. First of all, Kamila (hope I spelled the name right) provides my wife and I with the most welcoming smile any time we see her. She is always making sure that my wife and I are taken care of and are comfortable and she always makes sure to remind me about the free latte machine in the lounge :))) Second, Franklin - one of the maintenance guys. He is absolutely the most respectful person I have met. He takes on jobs asap and finishes them quickly and correctly. He is so trustworthy that I don't feel any fear leaving my apartment during a maintenance order when it's handled by him. An absolute start of a worker. Third, I believe his name was Martin or Manuel - I am so sorry for forgetting :( - he is an absolute rockstar. Extremely articulate and really makes sure that the job is done correctly. He is always very respectful and timely. Again, I am not receiving any payment for this review, nor any reward. I am simply typing this *during* work hours purely out of appreciation for this group of people. I have had an absolutely amazing experience here at Opal the past 2 years and I couldn't recommend it more to others. Thank you Opal. read more

Per your response to my recent post. I would like to clarify that I never took a recent tour of the community, so that portion of your reply appears to be inaccurate and unrelated to my actual experience. This generic response only reinforces my concern that my original issues were never genuinely acknowledged or addressed. My review was based solely on my firsthand experience as a former resident, and I believe prospective residents deserves responses that are accurate, and thoughtful; to address specific to the concerns being raised. read more

Absolutely no complaints! Staff is amazing and always friendly, maintenance takes care of the property and apartment issues promptly, and mindful events for tenants are scheduled. Also, accessibility to I-10 is good! read more

I have been a resident since the property opened over 6 years ago. There have been multiple management changes; however, Jessica Matthews was here when the property opened, left, and came back last year. When she is here, the property is awesome with great front office people and no issues, but other managers weren't as good. The property is quiet and mostly kept clean. The maintenance team is AMAZING! Most have been here from the start and really know the property and residents. Manuel and Franklin are really great, but all are friendly and knowledgeable. The pool is always clean, and the amenities are plentiful. We even have fitness classes. Overall I feel safe at the property and my concerns are always addressed promptly. Opal does take pride in their property, and I'm happy to call it home. read more

I lived here for two years. The first year was decent -- the second year, the quality went downhill fast. For the price you're paying, it's absurd how little care goes into maintaining the place. When I moved out, they charged me $160 for "carpet shampooing" because of supposed black spots -- which didn't exist. I personally deep-cleaned the entire unit. It felt like a lazy excuse to squeeze extra money out of tenants. You'll also notice random trash and dog poop around the property -- basic cleanliness isn't a priority. If you're considering moving here, think twice. This place simply isn't worth what they charge. read more

When you decided to downsize from a four bedroom home It's amazing when you go and try to find A place to replace that size the homely feeling the security and the welcoming,, I search for days and was just about to give up when I came across the opal at Barker cypress,, no, when I first came, it was a young lady that helped me She had Patience/. She listened to me, and she knew that she had the perfect apartment for me,and showed me my apartment and I completely fell in love i was ready to sign, but never let the less, The maintenance man are still impeccable, if you need anything done there on it they keep the property beautiful always gives a helping had as well and all of the ladies that we have in the office now are remarkably kind, caring, compassionate, understanding, and have a huge listening ear to what you speak to them about I feel like we have become family. It has never been a time to where I have walked in the office and I have felt like an outsider the warm welcome that they continually give has never skipped a beat! I enjoy walking through the Apartments rather it be early in the morning, the afternoon evenings and even late at night I truly feel safe!! If you needed or wanted to call somewhere a home,because the surely don't feel like apartments come stop by here several different times, but just know that once you look at one of these apartments, they are sure to be gone "I promise you want walk away anyway" but coming here you'll never meet a stranger! I've been here for 15 months now, and wouldn't change not a moment of the honor in being a OPAL/ residence!! Thank you ladies for being top notch in my book!! Ms. Jessica, Ms.kamila, thank you for all the help and support the prayers and understanding with the few small set backs and mostly your front staff i know I said it before but Just in case, do you need it to know it's from my heart the ladies are amazingly supportive ,funny kind loving and are on top of all their work Im so thankful for you all!! read more

If you like to live with mold and want to be overcharged for every little thing then move in. Do not let the allure of friendly staff and pretty ambiance trick you into signing a lease here. I never had any issues at apartments until Opal. The staff failed to fix a neighbors water leak which resulted in mold growth in my place on the first floor. Instead of being empathetic, I was told mold is everywhere and that its not harmful. BLACK MOLD! Even with my health conditions they expected me to stay while they excavated the mold. They did not tell me when they were entering or exiting my home either. I did not have access to the 1 bathroom I had and they did not care. I was still required to pay full price for rent even with mold being an issue they knew was possible with the leak and never was issued an apology for the inconvenience. read more

Affordable Luxury apartment complex! Very quiet and well maintained! Maintenance is amazing and very fast! Management and office staff are very friendly and accommodating. Kamila is the best! There's always events for resident. I'll definitely be renewing my lease! read more

Kamila helped with my moving in process and it couldn't have been any smoother. Kamila is very polite and takes her time to make sure you are satisfied. read more

Jessica was an amazing she was able explain everything to us and the apartment complex is clean and very accessible this complex will not disappoint!!! read more

I have lived here for three years and I'm getting ready to move but only because I am moving to Kansas. While I have been at Opal, Jessica and Kamila, Manuel and the rest of the team have taken so much care of me. More than I can explain. Always willing to help; explain and be a listening ear. Work orders get done in a timely manner and I never have to stay on top of them. I will miss you guys and thank you for everything. read more

I was a resident, I moved out Jessica is amazing and has helped me with so me work with my move out statement. If I hadn't bought a house I would have certainly renewed my lease. I recommend read more

I have lived at this property since the end of 2020. Amazing staff, Jessica is truly amazing. Every time I've had an issue or problem they have fixed it and been very professional about it. I love their attention to detail. Jessica makes sure the matters are all resolved quickly. Hands down the best apartment complex I've had the pleasure of living at. read more

Corral is the leasing agent who worked with me and my family from the beginning and she is always my go to person now. I feel Corral goes above to always help with any questions I have or an ear to listen to me chat while grabbing a cup of coffee or getting my mail. I've lived here for almost a year now and everyone in the office is amazingly friendly, kind and always ready to help. I've had zero issues with the apartments or workers here. Always being greeted with a warm friendly smile or wave. The maintenance is always seen keeping up the cleanliness of the grounds, they are also super friendly. Thanks Opal Staff for all that you do! read more

I lived here a year ago and had a great experience. after trying somewhere else, I realized this place is where I truly felt at home. I've just applied to move back and am excited to return! thanks Kamila and Jessica read more

If anybody comes into Opal at Barker Cypress Corral will help you get into a good apt. She's efficient and very sweet, I didn't qualify for the apt but the experience was the best definition of professional and she look good while she doing it. read more

Have been living here couple months now and can honestly say best apartment I've lived at ever. Consistency all across the board, including maintenance, pool policy, trash, and customer service. Jessica and Kamila are very good brand ambassadors and keep this place running smooth as well as the maintenance team! read more

Been living in the Opal at Barker Cypress going on 4 years I have seen many leasing agents and managers come and go. But my favorite of all time was Jessica and SHE IS FINALLY BACK. Jessica is very thoughtful and understanding and is willing to help the best way she can. She makes your moving process very simple. Hands down one of the best managers a tenant could ask for. Welcome Back!!!!!!! read more

My apartment was burglarized, vandalized, and broke in due to the sorry security and the selection of tenants that the office manager and assistant office manger allows to rent. These apartments are allowed to be very dangerous. My kids had just came to visit me the day before my apartment door was kicked off the hinges. Now I have noticed a collection bill on my name, because I left early. The Manger Jessica told me I would not be faced with any penalties. She lied and she's obviously a big liar. I want this removed from collections!! I will add more about this matter later. In a few days I will give the corporate office a call and or email to share the rest of my concern about this matter. read more

Manuel,Frank & Raguel are the maintenance men at this property and they are phenomenal when I tell you phenomenal I mean it!!!! they are very efficient respectful I called them over for one thing and they started sprucing up everything else that they noticed from repainting my baseboards to replacing the caulking around my toilet & bathroom sink changing my air filter to even helping me put my pictures up on my wall (not their job) but wanted to help me so much i mean such a lifesaver, I love that I've been living here two years now and this is about to be my third year I feel so at home here and don't plan on leaving anytime soon I'm comfortable at peace feel safe and secure here & always have. These guys definitely deserve a raise. Beyond exceptional....Thank You Guys Dearly!!! read more

Lived here for 3 years and before they became Opal the apartment complex was clean, up kept etc. After becoming Opal the property upkeep went down tremendously. The trash cans are always overflowing, trash around the property, office staff is very rude especially assistant property manager. She is not accommodating at all. They also have a roach problem. These apartments are brand new and shouldn't look the way they do. The gym is always dirty not to mention the demographics have changed. It was more family, now it feels like a younger crowd has moved in. I wouldn't recommend anyone moving in here. read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE!! The biggest scammers I have ever encountered. They will take your money wherever they can and will not tell you why or it will be some ridiculous expense that makes absolutely no sense. Hidden fees everywhere. Do your research and choose a different apartment complex. read more

The charges we have had to pay at this place is RIDICULOUS! They will always up charge for EVERYTHING. We lived here for two years, and in that second year (after it became opal) we had to go out of our way and contact the office almost every single month because they started adding on to our monthly bills. We moved out in November, and had to pay for that last month (EVEN THOUGH WE WERENT LIVING THERE ANYMORE!). We turned in our keys HAPPILY, thinking we were done with that place, and a month later, they emailed us charging us about $800 for carpet replacement, heavy cleaning and just random stuff! The place is really not worth the trouble/charges. it's not even a safe place. UPDATE: We're now being called by debt collectors and being harassed. read more

I've never met an apartment community so full of shit and scams in my life. I was considering moving here in the early months on 2023. I never moved here and my application was "FREE" bc they just wanted to see if I would get in or not since I didn't have any credit but I had someone who did. I ended up finding a better place & Opal denied me anyways so I just brushed it off and moved on. Months later that charged me almost $400 for an application fee, move in fee, and admin fee... how I get a move in fee if I never even got a unit #??? They sent emails saying it's gonna be FREE and even over the phone multiple times. Don't move here and definitely DO NOT APPLY! They are full of fucking shit! read more

I just moved into The Opal @ Barker Cypress! The move in experience was super smooth thanks to Jessica M. We did just about everything online which is really comforting during the age of Covid-19. The property is beautifully laid out and impeccably managed. My dog absolutely loves the dog park and is acclimating well. The apartment interior is well done and the appliances are great quality. I live facing Barker Cypress which is pretty busy but I don't hear the traffic noise at all. The property is extremely well lit at night and I've seen a security presence which is important to me. Visitor parking is ample for an apartment complex so all in all I'm going to enjoy my time here and would highly recommend this location to anyone in search of a great place to live! read more

Opal at Barker Cypress - The pool area is so pretty!! - Apartments Near Me - Houston, Texas

For personal reasons (that had nothing to do with the beautiful property or the amazing office Management Team) I gave a 60-day notice to vacate at the end of my lease (June 24, 2022). After apartment shopping in the area, I was unable to find another complex as beautiful and accommodating as here at Opal. I went into the Leasing Office at 5:10pm today, nervous because I had declined all renewal offers, walked out at 5:40pm with a signed Lease Renewal for another year. The Manager was very nice and offered to assist me, I declined and waited for Daisy, she moved me in a year ago. Many Thanks to Daisy and the Manager, they listened and went straight into "ACCOMMODATING" mode. You guys are awesome, and the BEST!!!! Keep rocking!!! A Happy, satisfied tenant..........

I feel in love with the place after looking at it once , i though it was perfect . Never really had a problem with my first lease with them and since I love them so much I decided to renew my lease and move to a first floor apartment ; Transfer fees and new deposit for a 1st floor apartment is not cheap especially if your paying with your CVC online . If you have pets and have them as emotional support animals they will not accept them you will most likely get accused of tempering with the papers to get discounts or something just bc you have a " aggressive breed" I have 2 micro bullies some of us don't need to temper with documents to have to get a support animal my dogs makes me feel safe and are support animals for a reason don't real Understand how the paper I sent to them were not good enough for them but are good enough for me to travel in a plane with my dog anyways that's just one of the problem im currently having with them , Now i understand we are no longer safe anywhere and keep on mind there's a security person almost every night at the property but that's still not enough apartments and cars will get broken into also rims will be missing the next morning and you go to the office and they will tell you there's nothing they can do ,I mentioned some cameras will help at least went it comes to doing a insurance clame. Most of the reviews on this page are telling the true this place is not that good .The only positive thing about this place is the staff the maintenance guys are so respectful and hard working they really do try keeping this place as nice looking and respond same day maintenance requests . Office staff is okay my favorite person was Daisy it is sad she no longer works there can only imagine what this place will become with out that important member of there team. I just can't wait to finishing this lease with them and expect another $800 on moving out fees at this point . There corporate is just hungry for money late fees will for sure add up in till the end off my lease even if is not my fault and haves to do with there system especially if you bank with wells Fargo . I will for sure NO longer Recommend this place . read more

Opal at Barker Cypress - Cars getting broken into keep on mind I pay for a car port every month. - Apartments Near Me - Houston, Texas

All I have to say, is that if you need ANYTHING, Jessica is your go to! She always goes above and beyond to help me. She even answered the phone after hours this evening! Jessica is the best. read more

I feel like I could have done better. I was in such a hurry to move somewhere when I initially moved to these apartments (sept. 2020) so it seemed like a dream at the initial time of move in. As far as interior of apartment I'm obsessed. The exterior is also attractive. However in my opinion the rent is taxed and they raised the rent a year later at time of lease renewal (sept 2021) so that is one of the reasons why I'm moving elsewhere. I don't like the office staff at all. It's not nice feeling unwelcome in your own home. The neighborhood is mostly family's I would say. My building is rather quiet and I got noise complaints when I first moved so I never play music after that lmao parking is full at night, you might have to buy a carport or garage for convenience. The property is pretty and well kept but the energy is very off putting for me from the office staff to the neighborhood it's just not really my vibe. I'm young and single so I'm going to go mingle elsewhere lol. Enjoyed the stay for the most part though I felt like I was in an Airbnb the whole time. read more

Everyone in the office is great! The maintance works are attentive and very nice! Jessica has helped me so much and is super nice and makes each guest feel welcomed ! I highly recommend this apartment! read more

Hello. This experience so far @ Opal Barker Cypress has not been a smooth experience for me. Very rude staff. I've also experienced plenty of bugs such as roaches and beetles. The sink gets clogged very fast also the kitchen sink has been leaking from the handle. Walls get dirty quickly and it's impossible to clean. Toilet barley works. Carpets trap a lot of hair. My experience here wasn't great my I hope others have a better experience than me. read more

Do not rent here. After 3 months of living here and paying half the rent with a roommate they tell me I am a unauthorized occupant eventhough the electricity and other utilities are on my name. I also gave them my drivers license and personal info the day the agreement was signed. They are deceiving in their business practices and discriminate against their own tenants. read more

Jessica at the front desk has been rude to both me and my neighbors on several occasions. She has a sarcastic tone in her voice when responding to residents who need assistance. We should not be receiving this kind of treatment. read more

I moved into Opal Apartments back in October and I have been in love ever sense. Jessica definitely did an amazing job helping me throughout the entire process she was super patient with me and she made my move in very smooth from the time I did my application to the time I got my keys. Also since moving in I've had no problem getting any of my maintenance request done they are super helpful in the front office and are always available to answer any of my questions and concerns since I moved in this is one of the best apartments that I've lived in I would highly recommend. read more

The manager Courtney is very professional and fair but try to avoid the assistant manager Jessica as much as you can, she is literally the most unprofessional person I have ever encountered. They really need to replace her! read more
