Abbey at Barker Cypress

I lived here for a year and my experience was great. Beautiful apartment and they are quick to address any maintenance issues. The only reason I give 4 stars is because of one particular experience. There are some shady people living in this complex and for two nights I witnessed teenagers going door to door asking for scholarship money around after dark. The first night I just called security and they returned my call 45 minutes later. I got a follow up call from the office in the morning as well. The second night really creeped me out and I called security, who did not return my call at all. I called the police instead and then this didn’t happen again as long as I lived there.

We moved into the Abbey at Barker Cypress because of its great location and the way they looked. My husband and I loved the way the apartments looked from the outside and the inside. We loved the crown molding and the granite counter tops. For the price of these apartments compared to the apartments around we felt like it was a great steal and we were so excited. I do have to say that we never had any problems with safety and never had any break-​ins.
FYI: Trash is always overflowing at the dumpsters and the gates are always broken
The apartment’s walls are super thin; you can hear everything that is going on around you and above or below you. The most trouble we had was with the management but of course did not realize how much trouble we would have with the management until move-​out. We had a friend that lived in these apartments previously and also a neighbor in the apartments that complained numerous times to us about the management but we had no idea what they were talking about until we were in the process of moving out. Management will act like they will do anything for you and like they are your best friends and then their true colors will show. They do not care about their tenants one bit! They will say things like, «no problem,» «I’ll see what I can do,» and «I completely understand»… stuff to this affect but they are really are laughing behind your back and do not intend on doing anything for you. They will penny pinch you on your deposits (don’t expect to get anything back, no matter what) Don’t expect any explanations when you call their office for answers on what you are being charged for because like the manager told me «they don’t make it easy for us idiots to read».
Basically the management is terrible and I would avoid these apartments if at all possible. We lived here three years and like I said didn’t have any issues until we decided to move out but in those last 4 months I would have to say the past 3 years evidently meant nothing, if I would have known the trouble we would have I would have never moved here and would not wish the stress on anyone else.

I have been living here for almost two years and I love it! I was in a two bedroom unit and I recently transferred to a one bedroom. The process was so easy and the office staff helped me with everything (as I kept changing my transfer date). Jeanette (Office Manager) and Josh (Assistant Manager) make my life so easy! Plus, the units are beautiful with wood flooring and granite countertops. They are very spacious and well designed. The complex is always clean and very well maintained. I just had a maintenance emergency when my water regulator burst a leak. I called and left a message and within five minutes the on call technician, Miguel, was at my door. He stopped the water, replaced the piece and even helped me clean up all the water! Thank you so much! I love living here and I would recommend it to anyone.
