Moved to this place 3 years ago when initially moved to Houston. Place has gone down hill, these apartments have a ROACH INFESTATION. Roaches are inside the walls. I had to break my lease due to roaches being all over my kitchen. Roaches have always been in the apartment however it got worse the last year. My neighbors downstairs also confirmed this. Things are constantly broken due to poor management and upkeep. The only good thing about this apartment was Carlos and the maintenance team they are responsive but overworked. I was charged 1700.00 in move out fees because everyone is moving out and the company is thirsty for money. So many vacant units. I had a package accidentally ship there and Kate from the office acted like I was inconveniencing her when I asked her to contact to current resident so I can retrieve it. Mind you the package said delivered and Kate states it’s not there. Kate maybe the most unhelpful staff in that office. Most importantly there was a burglary at the Gael which is connected to this apartment and two people were murdered. This just is another example of the type of residents and apartments these are. RUN!

This is one of the nicest apartments in the area. the manager Amy is one of the nicest person I've met in this industry so far. I've been looking for a place for over two weeks now and I was treated in several ways but this is the best experience I've had so far. Thank you Amy for being patient and taking the time to show and explain all the details about both properties the Gael and the Esseex. Cheers all the best.

Leasing office staff are very helpful. Maintenance people come within 24hours of service request. It’s been 2 months and the experience have been good so far.

The worst management here, not friendly at all. always blaming the residents for everything. Also, very humid houses causing all kinds of bugs to live in the apartments. Bugs do look like bed bugs but found out its not bed bugs, had to throw away most of the stuff. please don't live here, you can do better. They blame you for all the bugs and would not do any pest control without arguing.
