Aviator West 7th

I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Christal for showing around the property. I honestly didn't know about Aviator West 7th until I decided to expand my search by happenstance. It was truly an unexpected, yet pleasant surprise. I was searching for one particular floor plan and left with 3 options to consider. I encourage everyone to take a look-see of this property nestled in the neighborhood. A quiet statement that welcomes with a warm and cozy ambience. Read the reviews. Ask questions. Sit a spell in the nearby park. Walk over to the shopping center. Take it all in. I did and I will be returning.

LIVING AT AVIATOR WAS THE BEST CHOICE I COULD MAKE! The staff is super nice and really knows the property. The manager Lauren is great! They do great events for us every month that I really enjoy like giveaways, food, happy hours. Each year they throw a great pool party to show gratitude to the residents. I have enjoyed my time here and will continue referring friends to this hidden gem!

I lived here for 2 years and recently moved due to a job relocation. I miss it a lot. I’ll list the Pro’s and Con’s. Pros: Very convenient location within walking distance to lots of restaurants/bars, and stores(target is right across the street). I LOVED living downtown and being able to bike to the Trinity, then maybe grab a bite to eat and a coffee. It is far enough away from 7th that you don’t have to deal with much chaos from that side, but close enough that you could walk there if you wanted to get rowdy lol. My apartment was the perfect size for me, a single 30 something with a dog. They are very dog friendly, there’s a dog park right across from the front office and it’s very walkable area. My apartment had a great view of downtown Fort Worth and overall the apartment was very nice and well kept, never had an issues with pests, etc. The few times I had issues with my a/c in the summer, the maintenance team was very prompt to get it fixed. We did have quite a few burst pipes that ended up in them having to turn the water off but that was typically during the day when everyone was at work anyway. My neighbors were unproblematic and quiet and very understanding of my dog who would bark sometimes. The front office had plenty of community events including their big pool party in the summer. I’ll miss gathering on the top floor of the parking garage every July 4th to watch the fireworks with all my neighbors. There was a sense of community but also people were respectful of your space. Cons: You’re living downtown, next to a bus stop, so there are a few homeless people who frequent the area. I often saw Amazon packages torn open on the sidewalks assuming from the townhomes, so if you rent one of those, just be prompt in getting your packages and get a door cam. Some of the frequent flyers would hassle me when I’d go walk my dog, one guy who is clearly not in his right mind would often be seen talking to himself or screaming or even sleeping on the sidewalk. This was a big draw back for me but I’m also a single woman and I was outside a lot to walk my dog. This is also just common living in a city or urban area nowadays unfortunately, so I’m not sure there’s much that Aviator could do about it. Another con was that on the weekends you occasionally would have some noise from people coming home drunk from the bars. That’s just normal I guess and wasn’t too rowdy. Once I had to yell down at some people and ask them to be quiet cause it was driving my dog and me crazy. They immediately settled down and said sorry, lol. So at least everyone was friendly and respectful. I guess the only other con is the garage gate was always broken, mostly cause people would ram it I guess? Once the arm came down on top of my friends car LOL but there wasn’t any damage. Idk, the parking garage is also pretty small and people drive fast and don’t stay in the lanes so I did scrape the side of my car on the corner once cause I was trying to scoot by a car that was driving in the middle. Def not a garage for big trucks or big SUV’s. I never once had issues with towing and I had friends over all the time, and even some overnight guests, once the guest forgot to register their car and it was fine in the morning. It’s a hassle to register but any apartment complex these days is going to have something like that, unfortunately. Another thing is There really needs to be a stop sign put up next to the dog park and the front office because more than once I almost got hit walking my dog because some crazy woman speeding through that turn almost hit me. I wouldn’t really recommend living here if you have kids or a family, there were a few families I think but overall it was mostly younger professionals who didn’t have kids, which is an aspect I really enjoyed.
