Village of Hawks Creek

current residents, the apartments are okay, but DO NOT EVER LEASE HERE. These people are rude and inconsiderate. They will charge you for every little thing that they can. make sure you read your lease front and back because they leave out a lot of information on there that can add up in fines. The management is rude, and they hardly ever take care of community issues. They don’t ever confront anyone and they just end up fining you. If you ever need maintenance make sure you call and call and call because the office staff forgets to put work orders in. I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET OUT OF THIS TERRIBLE COMPLEX, why we ever signed a lease here is beyond me.

We are current residents. We like that the living room is larger than most 2 bedroom living rooms that we have seen. We have a beautiful view of the golf course. Many of the residents are friendly. While the management staff is friendly and polite, community rules are not enforced. The biggest frustration we have is that there is dog feces all over the place all the time. All of the grassy areas are littered with it. Residents are supposed to pick up after their dogs, and many do, but it is obvious that many do not. This is unfortunate because we have a toddler who likes to go for walks and play in the grass, and you cannot walk in the grass without running into it. There is a dog park, but it is not fenced in. This means that dogs are required to always be on a leash. If you are a dog owner, you will never be permitted to let your dog off of a leash even at the dog park. People do however, let their dogs off the leash at the dog park. This causes frustration with people who have small children because dogs have run out of the park, charged at, and knocked over children who were near the dog park. A simple solution would be to put up a fence around the dog park. I have seen this in nearby apartment communities, and yet, this has not been done here. The pool is nice, but smoking is permitted, even though the sign at the pool reads «no smoking allowed». There are times when this is not a problem and there are times when there is heavy partying at the pool (heavy drinking, heavy smoking, inappropriate behavior), so if you have children and do not want them around that type of environment, going to the pool is «hit or miss» in terms of your comfort level and enjoyment. The dumpster is completely overflowed every weekend, so trash is lying around at and near the dumpster. This results in an overabundance of flies that get into your apartment when you enter/​leave. When we moved in we were told that grills were not permitted on patios/​balconies, and yet we see many of them in use on patios/​balconies. The treadmills at the fitness center are typically out of order. The apartments are outdated. Carpets are old and dingy. If you request a new carpet, you must pay $ 250 out of pocket. Paint job is also low quality. They just paint over everything, splatter paint on the carpet. They painted over top of insects on our balcony. Gross. Kitchen sinks are very small and water frequently leaks out of the bottom of the faucet. Insulation is very poor. Expect cold drafts through windows and doors all winter and huge energy bills if you like AC in the summer. Vinyl flooring in dining room and kitchen is low quality. Ours had a chunk missing when we moved in. They sent someone to repair it, but it can’t be repaired. The company said we would need all new flooring. That has still not occurred after 2 years of living here. Overall the apartments are just not very nice for what you will pay. If you can afford to pay a little more, we’d recommend trying Marquis at Bellaire Ranch or Firestone downtown.

I would NEVER lease here. My boyfriend who moved here from Houston to live with me had an argument and in that moment he wasn’t thinking and signed a lease with this apartment. We made up and he immediately went back the NEXT DAY to ask if he could cancel, he was agreeing to let them keep the $ 200 deposit, and first month’s rent and I even offered to let people in my medical school class know about their apartments and advertise for them as well as to incoming medical students. But the apartment manager showed no compassion or kindness towards us and said she was charging him the $ 790 reletting fee as well as each month the apartment was unoccupied and an extra $ 75 to each month’s rent since he received a special? This place is very unpopular and has many open units so there’s no hope we’ll get ours filled anytime soon. I hope in the future when she or one of her family members is in a bind, someone will bestow the same kind of compassion and kindness she showed us today.
I would understand if he had moved in and lived for a few months and decided to break the lease but it was just ONE day. I’m sure she didn’t lose any business and the fact that they have to FORCE people into living in this hell hole shows how desperate this apartment complex is. I’m writing here so that people know to avoid this place because if something ever comes up and you need them to at least come to some REASONABLE compromise with you, don’t expect them to. Would you want to live in a kind of place like this?
You should definitely check out the Lofts at West 7^th which offers student discounts and lots of discounts for certain job companies around the area and is in a really cool, hip area around the museum district and they don’t need to charge a reletting fee. Don’t waste your money here when you could liver in a way better place thats closer to downtown for a cheaper price.

Went and looked at their apts. The staff was super friendly. The apts I looked at had a smell looked outdated and neglected. The apts may back up next to a golf course but the grounds of the apts look drab and its all concrete .They are way over priced for what you are actually getting. The windows on the model apt were filthy so that tells me the owners are perhaps a bit stingy with the funds to maintain the property. There is also a waiting list for garages so that also tells me this was not a well thought out community as this is Texas for gosh sake. Reading Jay W review I now know what the smell was :)
