    Balcony door is completely drawn on and stained!!
    Emil H.

    Warning: Avoid Helix Apartments at All Costs! I've never been more disgusted and disappointed with a living situation in my life. The Helix Apartments on Wurzbach in San Antonio are an absolute nightmare. The administration here is completely incompetent, unprofessional, and downright negligent. The staff is illiterate, has no clue about their own deals, and can't even provide accurate rent information. I had to deal with multiple associates giving completely different and contradictory information about my lease, and the chaos didn't end there. My move-in was scheduled for 4 PM on March 28th, but I wasn't able to move in until 6 PM, and that was just the beginning of the horror show. The apartment I moved into was FILTHY. It looked like no one had bothered to clean it after the previous tenants left. I signed my lease two weeks before moving in, yet the place was still being hastily painted over, and the results were awful -- walls that were still yellow, and everything looked rushed and unfinished. I paid extra for the "upgraded" unit, but what I got was far from it. Broken wooden floors, dented refrigerator, stained walls, trash on the balcony, and broken shelves -- this was supposed to be the "better" unit? The safety concerns here are outrageous. The complex is poorly lit, and the fences are falling apart. Anyone could just walk in, and I've witnessed strange, unsettling behavior from other tenants who seem to think it's okay to stare into my apartment from their balcony. I don't feel safe here at all, and I'm terrified about the potential dangers living in this place. I also had to deal with the utter chaos of being charged a prorated amount for my apartment only to not be able to move in for seven hours later. I'm now considering legal action because this is nothing short of negligent conduct from a landlord who clearly doesn't care about its tenants or their safety. I regret not doing more research, but unfortunately, I had no other options due to time constraints. Trust me, no price is worth the headache, stress, and disgust you will experience here. Do yourself a favor -- stay far, far away from this place!

    A/c out

    This apartment complex is horrible. The management and owner DJE Management make it so much worse. I've had a leak and now concerns of mold for months. My AC is down and they couldn't care less. I've had mice, roach infiltrations, and never ending issues. The gates never work, I've had homeless people scream at me. Water gets shut off frequently. A/C goes down 1-2 times a year. Cops are here every other day, there have been shootings and the grass doesn't get cut. This apartment is a ticking time bomb, of course management and owner doesn't care as long as they save money. I recommend spending your money elsewhere if you're renting or planing on buying this complex as an investment this place is just too far gone.

    if i could leave ZERO stars, I would!! Sick disgusting place to live!! Roaches, Rats, and MOLD growing INSIDE the apartment! For over $1.300 in rent is INSANE for this place! We complained about all these things 12/2022 and out in work orders 01/2022 and never came to fix it but marked as canceled w/o fixing anything !!! The front office is just as horrible! Lies and makes up excuses and never follows through with ANY of the agreements they make. They are lazy and incompetent. Aimee the manager leaves 5 star reviews for this place, she is just as stupid and ridiculous as this whole complex. They like to place blame on residents instead of just trying to find a solution to the issues. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE!! Will continue to tell people the truth about this sick place.

    Mess left at move in by maintenance

    Worst apartment complex I've ever lived at. I've posted a google review and they told me to reach out to them, I did. I told them I think it's unfair im being charged all these "move out fees" and "replacements" when the condition was crap at move in and when I put it reports to get them fixed, they never did. even got cut and bled from the rusty jagged stair railing they left me with. Seems they got new management after i moved out. Aimee Pineda the Project Manager told me to email her proof of photos of the condition of the apartment. She told me she'd get back to me to let me know what they can do. That was Jan 4th. No replies and they don't answer the office phone. Had to clean the apartment myself at move in because they never came. I have plenty more photos.

    Leaks, black mold and ac unit switched on 67 degrees at night and it's 79 in the apartment!

    They have roaches and pest control doesn't do a proper job, don't fix things properly after several maintenance tickets for leaks and AC not working properly and I'm sure there is black mold! One day they will be sued for not keeping their part of the lease!

    My best advice is to not move in here and just keep looking for another apartment. We moved into these in May of this year and all the way up to July 6th we had very serious issues with the A/C. Our A/C would heat up to 90 degrees and we are not the only building that this happens in. This also happens in their town homes as well. July 6th is when they finally replaced our unit, but then 2 weeks later it leaked freon twice in the same week since "it wasn't installed properly". Now today, July 28th, they had to shut the water off in order for a huge plumbing repair, which is fine, I appreciate the announcement. So they shut it off at 9am, said it would only be off for 3-4 hours... they didn't turn it back on until 5:15pm. And still, at 10pm, the water pressure is not back up, we can't even rinse off a lightly used dish in the sink or wash our hands. This is also happening in other buildings as well, neither maintenance or management has even addressed this and no support or updates are being provided. Overall, only 2 and a half months of living here has been subpar at best. Please see the attached photos for proof of how hot it has gotten inside during our first month of being here plus the 2 weeks after the brand new A/C failed. Twice. Oh and the people in the front office are very rude and unhelpful, our door was jammed one day and neither me or my boyfriend could get it open. Luckily a maintenance showed up and helped us, he replaced our locks, so during the week I let the office know since now they would need another copy of our new key. I gave them one of our keys 2 weeks ago, to make a copy of it, and they still haven't made another copy and haven't given us any updates. I should have just made a copy myself and gave it to them, it would have taken less than 30 minutes to do so. Roaches are also a huge problem here, no matter how squeaky clean you get your apartment, you'll probably see at least 4-5 roaches the next morning/night after cleaning.

    It's frustrating because the broken toilet bowl and AC have not been repaired yet despite being reported many times.

I didn't fully know what I wanted, and honestly, I didn't even know the right questions to ask yet. Instead of throwing endless options at me, Dusty took a very intentional approach. He showed me a limited number of RVs and used each one to narrow down what I loved, what I didn't, and what would actually work long-term. What stood out most was how closely he listened -- not just to what I said, but to how I reacted. He noticed what made me light up, what I hesitated on, and what I clearly wasn't willing to compromise on, even before I fully realized it myself. By the time we found the right RV, there was no second guessing. No pressure. No confusion. Dusty doesn't just sell RVs -- he guides people through one of the biggest decisions they'll make toward freedom and independence. If this is your first time stepping into RV living, he's exactly who you want helping you through it. RV Whisperer is the perfect name.

The management is so responsive if any issues do arise, which are few and far between. The pool area is amazing, and the fitness center is great. The community is very well maintained at all times.

They were so patient and helped me find the perfect floor plan (first floor, big patio, and kitchen island). I am absolutely in love with my space, the layout, and this neighborhood. Benefits: - Quiet neighborhood - Close to restaurants (walking distance) - Close to grocery stores (walking distance) - Close to the military base (10 minutes drive) - Right next to a big park/walking trail Cherry on top: - Apartment pool/patio area is luxurious and clean - Monthly events (poolside yoga, food trucks, and random donut/pizza days) - Amazing front staff (Rick is always available to answer questions and always in a bubbly, happy mood) - Amazing maintenance team (Henry is on top of it with fixing everything from a leaky sink, washing machines, and the AC). I put in a work order and get immediate assistance, every time! Overall, this is a safe and comfortable neighborhood and I am so happy I made the choice to live with Cortland Brackenridge!

I am so grateful to live here, and for the great team here!
