North Waco Apartments

Pecan Ridge Apartments presents ongoing concerns related to management practices, lease compliance, habitability, safety, and tenant privacy. Maintenance issues impacting basic living conditions were not resolved within reasonable timeframes, and management communication was inconsistent and lacked clarity. There was an instance of unit entry without proper notice or authorization, indicating a failure to adhere to standard tenant notification procedures. Additional issues included administrative inconsistencies involving lease enforcement, access permissions, and fee handling that did not align with stated lease terms. The broader living environment was frequently disruptive, with late-night noise, visible intoxication on the property, public indecent behavior, and repeated police responses to domestic disturbances. Collectively, these conditions reflect systemic deficiencies rather than isolated events. Prospective tenants should exercise caution, carefully review lease documentation, and maintain detailed records, as the property demonstrates insufficient oversight and accountability.

Crooked people. We lived here for a little more than 3 years. We NEVER missed a payment and were NEVER late on our payments. During COVID, the office shut down, their phone lines were down and no one answered the phones. My husband and I lost our jobs. They put fliers up on all apartment doors stating there were no penalties for late payments and if anyone needed to break their lease contracts due to the pandemic, there were no penalties. After trying to get a hold of someone at the office for some time and things becoming harder over the next weeks, we found the apartment email address and emailed them letting them know that due to the pandemic, we were having to move in with family and after over 3 years there, we needed to break our contract. We received a call from either a Melissa or a Tiffany (can’t remember who it was, it’s been years) who stated yes, there would be no penalty due to the pandemic. I knew the office ladies a little bit because I had worked at the office for a little after classes and while there, they just took some of the amount off our rent-I was not directly paid. So I felt comfortable with this verbal confirmation. Then, in 2022 (2 years later) we see a collection on our credit history where they are stating we owe them for breaking the contract. After speaking with someone, they essentially said unless I have the flier that was up at the time of when we left, they will proceed with the collections on our credit until it’s paid (it’s been 2 years, of course I no longer have the flier). I had asked for them to talk to the ladies who worked there during COVID, maybe they still had record of the flier, apparently “no one who was there during the pandemic works there anymore”. It is now 2025 and we have still been fighting this wrongful collection on our account and every month it records it as a “missed monthly payment”. They are wrecking our credit for $1,691 that we are not even responsible for because of the pandemic! I would recommend to never sign with Pecan Ridge, they are truly cruel and I have been diligent with letting my friends and coworkers know not to go with Pecan Ridge.

I have lived here for 2 years. Rent for this one bed one bath apartment is $1,200. The complex is now under new management for the second time promising to do better than the last. I currently have BLACK MOLD (which was found August 31st unrelated to snow storm) in my apartment and I know of a couple of other residents with it as well. They tried to just paint over it and tell me that it was fixed. I emailed the office to ask what cleaning products were used because it just smelled like paint, also informed them that in most black mold cases sheet rock is replace along with some sort of bleach wash. I got no response. A day later a maintenance man come to spray the room yet still seemed confused as to why he was in my apartment. By health standards I don’t think that this is okay. You would also think when mentioning mold to the complex it would be a main priority to get it fixed. I still have yet to have someone look at my kitchen floor where mold is growing and I’ve tried so many times to clean and the same spot keeps coming back. The photo of the ceiling is recent. (12/26/22) Never got told the extent of my damage while away on vacation. This is what I came home to, yet I was told by the complex and a maintenance man Miquel, that it was cleaned up to the best of their ability. My lamp left on in insulation, great fire safety. Not to mention it’s 30 something degrees outside and I’m paying to heat up an attic that smells like skunk. My apartment is currently 63°. Terrible place to live. Can’t give less than a star Coming back year 2025 to say this was still the worst place I have ever lived. They will steal your money. New manager every couple months. Go literally anywhere else

First off I want to say the maintenance staff was wonderful and super fast when we lived there, that was the only upside. But everything else not so much. While we lived there, we had cops in our area constantly. My car was broken in to. We moved in blindly from another state and could not wait for the year lease to be up. The apartments are old so we had cockroaches constantly, ants in kitchen and bathroom, peeling of our counter tops, the pools were disgusting especially the one near the office, the gym smelled of mold, the mailboxes would often be left open, and what irritated me most was the carpet was filthy when we moved in yet we were charged over $200 for that when we moved out. You will pay for their negligence. We had a hard time with our AC unit. It would not cool down in the heat below 87 in the summer and they refused that anything was wrong. It would run constantly. I don't think our air filter was ever cleaned. Our electric bill would be over $400 each month and the staff would tell me that is normal for Texas. that is NOT true. We moved across town to a new apartment around the same cost with a way cheaper electric bill and safer community. Random fees will be added to your bill so always analyze it. Would not live here again! I honestly think someone goes in and deletes bad reviews off here. Please use your money wisely and live somewhere else. There are newer apartments off New Road.

I've been here for a year and me and my partner love it! We live down the hill and it's so nice and peaceful here, even at night when everyone is home. Though the complex is right off a busy road you can't tell when you're outside! There's plenty of large mature trees that provide not only a great landscape for the complex but also provided amble shade during the summer months which really helps with the electric bill. There's also a ton of green space and great yard like areas which makes it very dog friendly! Jamie the office manager is amazing and always happy to help in any way she can! It's really nice to see that the staff here truly cares about the tenants. On top of all that there's some great amenities like the pools and the gym and also 2 separated dog parks near the middle of the complex! It's a very dog friendly complex and I truly love it here! Maintenance is friendly and fairly quick to respond even in emergencies. They're also willing to help out with anything else they can while in your home. If I had to change anything it would be maybe some more attention to the dog parks, as they're mostly dirt now and some fixtures are broken. Also would love to see more dog waste stations around the complex as well so I don't have to bag my dogs presents and take them to the nearest dumpster. Overall, it's a great place to live and Id happily recommend it to anyone! Absolutely love it here!
