The Retreat is a relatively quiet, safe, well-managed, well-maintained complex. Management is very friendly and always responsive to maintenance issues and repairs are completed within a very small timeframe. Management is also very attentive to concerns of the community. There is a privacy fence that makes the area more secure. For example, my wife never feels unsafe walking a dog at night. The pool on-property is also very well-kept and a nice place to hang out. For the most part, neighbors are friendly and aren't annoying. The only concern I have is that people are way too lax with their dogs. Dogs are allowed to wander off-leash and no enforcement exists. I've had dogs growl at me as I walked to my room because they weren't supervised. Combine that with the fact the breed restrictions aren't enforced (meaning you see quite a few pit bulls), and I do feel the environment is right here for an accident involving someone's dog, or worse a dog-related Injury. Overall, this is by far one of the best complexes in Conroe and should be at the top of your list. read more

I could write a novel about my experience with this place. I can start by saying don't waste your time or money here because they will get you for every penny. Moving in this place seemed like the perfect started apartment for me while I'm in college. I was in the smallest one bedroom apartment they offer (550+ sqft.), but at a bit of a pricey amount of rent ($950). It was a nice establishment so I didn't question it being a little too much. The first year here I had no issues but after that everything started going downhill. I moved in with one pet paying the set 250 refundable and 250 non refundable deposit. I acquired a second pet the next year. Before I had time to go report my new pet to the office maintenance decided to tell them for me, as I received a nasty email from the office about finding my second pet. I go up to the office to explain the situation, when they tell me all I have to do is pay a second payment of $500 deposits split like the first set. Everything had been taken care of so I thought. Recently I had moved out only to find they took 250 from me claiming they only took a total of $750 instead of the $1000 deposit I made. The lady on the phone was rude and bitter in explaining to me that there was no way I paid $1000 it should have only been $750. If I would have known this to be an issue I would have certainly kept the money order stubs to prove to them that they stole the additional $250 I gave to the for the refundable portion of the deposit. The other issue I had with this place was the neighbors and community. I've had packages stolen off my doorstep since the office no longer holds them for us. I've had the cops called on me twice for listening to music not at high volume, but because the lady who just moved in hated that I played music past 8pm. The cop was extremely rude and lying about the frequency he has been called on about my music saying this was the 3rd or 4th time, threatening me with tickets etc. in almost a year and a half of being there no one ever had an issue with me until cranky Karen moved in next door who didn't like the young girl with tattoos staying up past 9pm. Then to top it off some lazy new move in began putting there trash near my apartment because they didn't want to walk to the dumpster. My neighbors automatically assumed it was me dumping trash there so it started getting placed right outside my door step. I made two very elaborate signs asking in the most assertive way to please stop dumping your gross garbage by my apartment. It took this complex an entire month to get this under control. Their awful method was to threaten the entire building of being fined. I've also had issue with vehicle break ins, towards the end of my stay at the retreat someone broke into my car going through every compartment throwing my stuff around stealing my stuff. For being "a gated community" anyone could come in if they sat at the front for a few minutes to follow someone in. The gates were also broken for weeks on end allowing complete access for non residents to come and go. The last issue I have with this place is how they drain your pockets. You would imagine if you renewed your lease somewhere it would be the same or possibly cheaper right? Nope they went up after the first year. About $100 more to my rent for this tiny hard to breath in apartment. After that I realized I can't deal with this anymore it's overpriced for something that should be 800 a month tops. So about a month or so out before my lease ended I decided not to renew for that rate. I was ready to leave for good. Then I get the upsetting news that I have to give them a 60 day notice?!? How am I supposed to know or even remember that from the lease? 30 days sounds reasonable but two months? So unfortunately I had to stick it out there for two additional months paying the insane month to month rent of $1150 for a tiny uncomfortable 550 square foot apartment. If you're thinking of moving in here, unless you have cash to burn and don't really care about your thing being broken into and stolen go for it. read more

We have lived here since December 2018 and we love this place. It's very quiet, I never hear my neighbor and that's my favorite thing considering some apartments can have music played loud or just trashy individuals living there. Everyone in our building is very nice and keep to themselves. The MX is fast and efficient and very nice set of guys. They respond pretty quickly to Mx requests. My A/c has broke twice this summer and was fixed within 24 hours. The management staff are wonderful and try to help with anything and everything. The pool is nice and well kept, with new sets of grills which are great to grill in the evening. The property is completely gated which makes me feel safe and the gates are always working. These apartments are a hidden gem and I'm so happy to have chose to live here. Plus H-E-B is right around the corner! If you're looking for quiet, simple nice apartments check these out. But only if you're a low key individual who won't play your music loudly, be obnoxious or just straight not care about any neighbors around you. #sorrynotsorry :) read more

The Retreat has been my home for going on two years. My significant other and I have loved staying here and only planned on being here for a year. We just renewed for another year. Complex is clean, quiet, and Alyx & Kim go above and beyond to enforce community rules and make residents feel safe and happy. Any issue I have had has been addressed in a timely manner. It's a great location, about 7 mins from Lake Conroe and close to The Woodlands (my commute to work). You won't be disappointed by choosing The Retreat as your home. read more

Very good community. The area is quiet. Amenities always clean and staff very professional. The office team, Kim, Alyx and Tori are always ready to help and proactive in the community management activities, notably some nice events organised from time to time. Everytime i relax in my apartment or go for a walk around the community, i feel a sense of details in the property design and maintenance, which is great. read more

I recently had an problem involving a enforcement of towing, the circumstances are very complex and are irrelevant to this review. Living at this complex has been very pleasant minus one occurrence. Not only did management step up, but also the Westwood Residential also came in and assisted property management to resolve my issue in Hours. Not Days, Not Weeks. HOURS. I have been a resident for more than a year at the time of this review and I'm planning on staying for atleast another year as long as Westwood/TaylorLandTwo continue managing the property. I cant give enough high regards to this complex. Kim and Alyx are Awesome, They addressed my issues with a smile and concern! Also while I'm talking about them the Maintenance Personnel are not only courteous but very, very prompt. Same day Fixes for most common issues, If they have to order something, they tell you. Come Check this place out for your self, You wont find a better quality complex for the money, that I can guarantee. Thank you Kim, Alyx, Morgan, and the whole team at Westwood. read more

I've only been here a little over 4 months and I cannot think of anything bad to say about this place. Great location and A very nice place to live overall. Residents here are very pleasant and respectful. The grounds are very clean and even have pet stations to pick up after your pet. The staff is absolutely great... friendly and makes you feel like family. The office staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. On short notice, Alyx helped us get the apartment we wanted and made sure it was ready with new paint and carpet in less than a week! The maintenance & housekeeping staff are excellent. Any issue we've had, which has only been a few, was addressed right away by either Tito or Brian. Very friendly and great guys. All very nice & thorough in their work. Overall, I'd highly recommend living here. read more
