The Village Bend East

DO NOT MOVE HERE. This has been a traumatic experience from start to finish. 1. Poor Living Conditions & Noise: The buildings are extremely old (50-60 years) and falling apart. There are large cracks in the walls inside my unit—when I asked management, they brushed it off saying "this is common in Texas." The noise is unbearable. The fridge and AC vents buzz constantly, and the AC compressor is installed right outside the bedroom window, making it impossible to sleep at night. 2. Dangerous Maintenance: Maintenance is incompetent and unsafe. My bathroom leaked multiple times. During one failed repair attempt, they left construction debris and rocks in a black plastic bag hanging from the ceiling. The bag actually fell and hit me, covering me in debris. 3. Unsafe & Retaliatory Management: If the terrible facilities aren't enough, the management is dangerous. • Security Violation: They allowed a male stranger to move into my unit without my signature on the Roommate Addition form. • Retaliation: When I complained that I felt unsafe due to this stranger's extortion attempts, management refused to help. Then, they retaliated by revoking my already approved lease renewal to kick me out. • Bogus Fees: They charge random fees like "$10.75 insurance-non-compliant" despite me having valid insurance. They do not care about your safety, your rights, or the law. Stay away!

I moved in a year or so ago and I have yet to be disappointed. Peace and quiet is standard, the property is well kept. There is a beautiful walking path on site.

I have lived here for two years now and just renewed for a third. I LOVE IT HERE!! Perfect for young adults!! It's the perfect place to call home when you can meet your new best friend just a few doors down. I am just so happy to have found this place without being from the Dallas area and am so grateful for the amazing people I have met here. The management staff are friendly and super helpful. Maintenance is not needed often, but when they are it tends to be prompt and efficient. My apartment doesn't have a washer/dryer because it's older, but I don't mind because there are community-only washer/dryer buildings throughout and they are very clean! Management is also quick to help if there happen to be any issues with them. As if this community couldn't get any better, Smith Patrol is also there to help ensure everything is quiet and safe!! LOVE LOVE LOVE

I moved into The Village Bend about a year ago and it is by far the best apartment complex I have ever lived in! I have bounced all around DFW with apartments in Dallas, Richardson, and Plano and feel like I have experienced every apartment horror story there is (flooding, no AC, bugs, a literal car driving through my wall), and it feels so good to not have to worry about any of that here. The management team is highly responsive and always so kind, maintenance is rarely ever needed but when they are they are speedy and effective - I've never had to call them for the same issue twice! I feel completely at home here and actually get excited to show friends and family where I live. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

This community is truly a wonderful place to call home. Surrounded by trees, nature, it offers a walkable, welcoming, and highly livable environment. The leasing office staff is consistently helpful and attentive, Chrissy, Elena, Lynn, Ana, Chase, in particular, go above and beyond to address any needs or requests promptly. They made my wife feel so special and welcome when she moved into the community. We really appreciated that greatly. The Village as a whole has maintained its reputation as one of the premier living communities in Dallas. The amenities are unmatched in Texas, offering residents access to a country club, social events, a coffee shop, private armed security, and of course, the unique sense of community among fellow Villagers. I’ve proudly called myself a Villager for nearly a decade, and I couldn’t be happier. What makes this community truly special is its private, close-knit atmosphere where lifelong friendships are formed. I’ve seen neighbors meet at a pool or a weekly social, go on to get married, and even start families here. The Village has a rich history, including being home to Mark Cuban at one time, which only adds to its charm and history. Long tenured Villagers have special stories and where you chose to have on of your homes, matters, and it's more than just how nice the views are! This particular location also stands out for its proximity to the lake and walking trails. It’s tucked away from busy main roads, offering peace and quiet while still being conveniently located. The front office remains attentive and responsive whenever needs arise, which only enhances the overall experience. They grasp that some residents have different needs and or schedules based on careers and or travel particulars. My only recommendation for The Village, less about this specific location and more for the community as a whole, is to continue strengthening security measures and expanding surveillance across all properties. The Village is truly a gem in Dallas, and with that level of appeal can sometimes come unwanted activity and unwanted visitors. While personal vigilance, resident awareness, tactical training and existing proactive measures by residents go a long way, there’s only so much they can cover. Enhanced community-wide surveillance, armed patrol and continued investment in security would provide even greater peace of mind for residents. It would be nice to see the horse and armed guard more often! It's always a pleasure when we see him/her. It’s clear that The Village has already made safety a priority, and I encourage ongoing focus in this area, especially for such a highly desirable and notable community. The Village Patrol are absolutely a wonderful group of men and women dedicated to keeping us safe. Continued efforts with this, will go a long way. 5/5. Without hesitation, I give this community 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium living experience in Dallas and especially if you want more than just a place to live, also if you want a private, tight knit city within a city feel.
