There was black mold in the dishwasher, the floors and countertops were dusty, and the shower had stains.On top of this, the appliances didn't even work. The ice maker and water filter was not working and the electrical socket in the bathroom caused a short in my curling iron and ruined it. After informing the front desk about the conditions of my place I was met with an attitude! It was a complete and sudden change from the friendly attitude I was met with before signing my lease. Since I've lived here the leasing office staff and property manager have been very rude and unhelpful! Both act like your bothering them when you have concerns or maintenance requests. As for the amenities, they are a joke. When I moved in, I was told there was a rooftop deck that was being built. I've lived at City View for almost 6 months, and as of this month the rooftop deck shows no signs of ever being completed. Amenities are old and used, the pool table is worn and the speakers in the theater room don't work. Also, there are mouses missing from the computer lab downstairs .There's been several instances in which management have commented in the resident portal that certain repairs to the building are too expensive to complete. A few months ago I asked the property manager why my unit did not have window blinds and she informed me that it was no longer in the budget to finish adding blinds to the remaining units! The rent here is pretty high so it's frustrating to constantly be reminded that updates or repairs are not in the budget. Also worth mentioning: The walls are so thin I can hear my upstairs neighbor take a shower and listen to music. There is a half way house across the street and a sobriety center around the corner. Theres also a growing homeless population with tents under the freeway nearby and across the street from the garage. Considering all of this I don't understand why there is no security guard! Also, staff is rarely at the front desk so packages are left behind the desk unattended! The elevator is constantly out of order and dog waste bags are not offered. There's only a gross pooper scooper left on the ground for residents to use. I would say the worst part of living here is that my maintenance requests have constantly been ignored for the past five months. My fridge and ice machine was broken for the first four months I lived here and I constantly had to put in maintenance requests for them to be fixed. To date I have literally placed two dozen maintenance requests! The washer and dryer, and most of the appliances are old and definitely need to be replaced. The building looks beautiful from the outside but once you move in it's a nightmare! I totally regret signing my lease and cannot wait for it to end. Staff and management at City View do not care about maintaining its property or making residents happy. There are nicer, less expensive apartments in Houston that offer far better amenities and actual customer service.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! If you're looking for a place in houston to rent,…read morethe location of this apartment is the only good thing I have to say about it. HOWEVER. There's always homeless people sleeping on the street outside or even a few instances where they were sleeping inside the garage. If there's any events going on downtown or at Buffalo Bayou such as a parade, prepare to hunt for parking. Non residents will park in the garage and they do not enforce towing. There are cars collecting dust that have been sitting the almost two years I resided here. The gates for the garage are ALWAYS broken. Which means they stay open 24 hours a day. If you like to spend your summer by the pool, the view is great but it's so small and there's always people who don't even reside there at the pool being loud, smoking weed, etc. You get MAYBE two hours of sunlight then the sun goes behind the building causing the pool to be shaded majority of the day. At one point they made us get "pool bracelets" which the NEVER enforced. The elevators are ALWAYS broken and stink like wet dog! There's always trash, dog poop or throw up in the stairwells or in the hallways on the carpet. A dog threw up in the stairwell and it sat there for over a week until I said something about it. The office is so hard to get in touch with unless you go downstairs. Usually rude or very judgmental/fake. There's no sense of structure and lack of communication between the employees. I had insurance the entire time living there and when I switched units (which I emailed to one of the employees when I picked up my keys) they were QUICK to try to charge me $50. You have to email or inform everyone in that office or they'll try to charge you for something. If you need storage space, this is not the place. The pantry and linen closet is SO SMALL and there's absolutely no storage space. Unless you pay an ungodly amount more for a storage room monthly. Don't leave your bike in the garage or anything in your car because it will get stolen and/or broken into. If you get an apartment with the downtown view, you aren't even able to squeeze a fart onto your balcony and there's always cars racing on memorial in the middle of the night. The package lockers are usually full or broken and your packages are just left on the floor for anyone to take. They offer complimentary coffee but they don't mention the clubhouse where the machine is is never unlocked before 9 am and locked around 5 and that's on a good day. It's most likely out of coffee though. I'm a very clean person and even if I requested pest control to come, it never fails there was a roach in my house AT LEAST 2 times a month. I once had 5 in 4 days. When moving in, the floor was DISGUSTING. My socks were black. The floors are very uneven and thin. The windows won't even close and lock properly. The air filter when I moved in was atrocious!!! I could go on all day but I think you get the picture. I hated every second living here. Thankfully I got a new job out of state so I had to move out. Do not move into these apartments. You'll regret it!

Where can I start... Since I moved here it has been nothing but problems, they have promised things…read moreand either they take their time to do it or they never do it. My first problem was when they gave me the apartment... they gave it to me dirty, the bathrooms, floors, windows with mold, etc. It took them more than a week to clean that, more than 3 weeks to give me the second control of the elevator, the ac was damaged for two weeks, and after a week they gave me a portable ac, which in the end did not do much against the heat from Houston, I had to buy another AC ($300) to be able to control the heat a little bit, and they would not return that money to me, the hallway at night smells of a strong odor of marijuana and other drugs and not only that.. that smell goes to my apartment, I already complained about that twice , but the excuse is that they can't do anything about it, just send an email, and they didn't even do that. One of the rooms dont get air from the AC, you can smell the other bathrooms odors from another floor from the bathrooms and it is disgusting. I have had to throw away food because there is a cockroach infestation, I have complained about it 3 times, and there is no solution and now I rent a private space for my car, and when I came back from a business trip.. I found out that the building rented that spot to another person. They promised me they would fix the problem and they never did. I paid 50 dollars for it and I can't use it because of other people's incompetence. My contract said that I had to pay 1500 per month plus services and it turns out that I was paying 1800 without service, that problem was at least solved. There is no pool or gym. I recommend to all people who think about moving here, don't do it, it's not worth having the stress of living in a place where you can't keep your promises or control what happens here. This is a nightmare of a place. Check the reviews and see how many people are complaining. check how many people wants to get out of this hell. Barvin should be ashamed for the type of treatment and poor quality of life they have on this property.

Great location across from discovery green and in the middle of everything great about downtown Houston. The valet was included in the event participation but I parked offsite. The building is very secure, we had to be escorted via elevator to the party room on the 8th floor. The views were gorgeous and the room was very comfortable with plenty of seating for about 45 people. They had setups for food and drinks and we really enjoyed the facility. It was beautiful even without decorations. There was also a pool on the 8th floor. If you happen to live here, they have many resident activities posted in the elevator. Pretty cool place.

We toured extensively and even spend the night with our friends that live here. Didn't work out. It's because of what happened with our friends about 2 weeks later, won't be too specific so as not to get any individuals who work for this building or our friends, in trouble. It was a huge melodrama mainly around money, which I tried to help resolve, and directly due to that, we ended up not moving in here. I don't want to get accused of defamation or get into an argument like some of the other people who wrote bad reviews did, but I will say that the good reviews don't seem very legitimate. It's still an absolutely beautiful place which is white made it to our top 5 but I do have issues with the company and the fees they charge. I'd have at least given 3 stars for the amazing luxuriousness here but knowing that hostile responses can be easily forthcoming from this company, I'll pre-empt that by taking off another star. Shady.

However, I've had problems with my downstairs neighbors since the day I've moved in and the management team has condoned their atrocious behavior; I'm sick of paying money to let them all gang up on me. I cannot wait to move out. The way the rules are written allow my neighbors to have a say in what I do at any hour of the day. This past week, the manager called me for working out in my apartment at noon on a Friday. He told me that any excessive noise is warranted of a call (I was placing my weights on the floor between lifting sets- no jumping, no throwing, etc) Since the gym has been closed since March, the solution offered to me was to carry all my equipment OUTSIDE IN THE TEXAS SUMMER and get my workout in outside. I've had a police officer to show up at my door because of music or my tv. If you know me, you know I'm no afeel targeted and harassed. It's honestly a shame since these people will drive away other tenants. You've got lots of options in Houston- pick elsewhere. Our neighbors have since moved out, however I still wouldn't recommend living here. We lose water, power or wifi at least once a month related to a "block outage." The elevators go down often. Aside from location, I can't see a reason to pick here over many other locations.

Seems pretty strange to me since I pay to live on this property. Also the pool. The lone maintenance man apparently reserves the right to decide day to day when the pool is open.
