Green Spring

Great place to live I love my apartment. maintenance has worked hard and gotten back to me relatively pretty fast and been friendly same with people that work in the office always friendly and helpful. The building its self is nice and tucked away the train running by at random times can be a little loud but is always a vibe.the neighbors and everyone that lives here is pretty friendly or at least keeps to themselves and doesn’t make problems for others. As far as the actual unit there are small little things I wish were improved but overall the place is clean nicely built well furnished and everything works and there is a lot of space for what you pay for also rent and utilities are very reasonable. Biggest complaint though would be parking not enough spots for visitors or the people that live here they could definitely fix it up at the end of the parking lot maybe put a dog park and add more parking also there needs to be more lights in the parking lot very dark at night and can be a lil spooky when walking home. But overall great place to live and run by good people not without its flaws but no place is.

I lived here from summer of 2021 to december of 2024. When I moved in, this was a complex aimed at low income housing (section 8). There were definitely signs, too, considering the whole building was built with no weather protection. Then they sold out to student housing management company #1. Under company #1: My rent increased over 25%, with no improvements to the units. I kind of feel for them, because they definitely did not have the 411 on the state of the building and ended up being responsible for redoing all the balconies. They had a terrible time, and I guess didn't have enough money to pay all our essential services, so we also had many many months without trash pickup. The worst being about 5 months in a row. They then passed it to another company after about a year. Under company #2 (CURRENT): I feel less bad for company #1 realizing they certainly did not warn this next group about the structural / code concerns. They did a walk through and immediately noticed the large amount of water damage on the windows/missing drywall from them boarding off my balcony. When I told them about the renovations, and why, the blood drained from every one of their faces. They seemed concerned in person, but also didn't send anyone. Rent went up by 10%. The worst thing and something that others have detailed is this: They make every resident go through a third party for utilities, called Simple Bills. Simple bills is notorious for taking advantage and overcharging students, there are SO many websites talking about this, and they still exist. The first month I had to use them, my water bill for a 1 bedroom apartment went from 30-35 dollars, to over 250. I was desperately calling the city, simple bills, management, for months trying to get this resolved. They ended up sending some money back, but this continued and worsened each successive month and I had to start the battle each month from square 1. They still kept 100's of dollars, and ended up claiming over a 100% increase for every remaining month I lived there. When you talk to them, ask them if you can opt out of Simple bills. If they say no, you WILL be looking at a screen similar to the one I posted. I also included other photos of the major issues I claimed. I now live in a one bedroom middle of riverside (austin). My rent is 25% less than it was here, and I don't have to race home to line my windows with bath towels when it rains. Nor am I being over charged by 200$ for water I'm not using. I will give Jerry (the current property manager) the ONE credit he deserves. He had the decency to send my deposit back after all that. So take that for what it's worth. Still didn't put me in the positive for those last few months.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I told them 30 days before my lease was in effect that I was not going to move in. now they are trying to scam me for the entire years rent . before that when I went to go look the model was horrible it was dirty. I would stay away from them they are shady.
