Creekview Apartments

I lived in these apts. from March 2015-​March 2016.
Apartment was fine, few minor issues. Bi-​fold doors always fell off track, and master toilet had issues flushing. Nothing to major. Parking was absolutely HORRIBLE. You have to be in the parking lot by 6 pm to have a space ANYWHERE in the apartments. Weekends were even worse. There is no area to walk your dogs, very little grass areas, and there is no where for kids to play besides in the middle of the parking lot. Not very family friendly.
The DALLAS SWAT team just did a raid on 9 apartments in the building i was in. Apparently a drug ring was being run out of those units? idk it was insane. Just not safe. ANNDDDD the straw that broke the camels back was that my boyfriends truck got stolen from the middle of the parking lot. The apartments did absolutely nothing. No cameras are installed in the parking lots, so beware.
The neighborhood is just going down hill pretty fast, and rent is going UP. $ 950 for a 1 bed & den just not worth it for all the inconveniences.

I read a few bad reviews towards the apartments!?? I have been living here a year. & I have not hat not one single problem. No gunshots, no breaking into cars, & I think it’s a very quiet area. The gates are always closed. Unless the office keeps it open for us which is convenient for us coming in & out. Only thing that does need improvement is visitors parking. They are gone by like 8! other than the apartments are great they do need to be upgraded but still a nice place to live.

I love living here. The staff knows my roommate and I by name. Maintenance is quick and the head guy even gave me his personal number for emergencies. I’ve lived here since August 2014 and have not once heard gun shots, seen prostitutes, or drug deals going on. Also, the crime rate is very low! My car has never been broken into and that’s probably because I follow the typical rule of lock your car, take your keys, and hide your belongings. My neighbors are all very sweet. I think the grounds are very well kept and properly groomed. It’s an older property but it has charm! The walls may not be the thickest and there could be more parking but it works perfect for my roommate and I!

I would give no stars if I could. Bad apartments in a bad neighborhood. A few months into living here my neighbors windows were shot out by Dallas SWAT. There was then a mass exodus of people leaving because of the experience. When I asked if I could break my lease early seeing how my patio neighbors windows were shot out by police and I felt unsafe as a single female living in that complex they told me they would not allow me to break my lease regardless of the shooting. The gates are always open and it’s really loud. I could clearly hear full conversations people were having in the parking lot through my windows. This is a loud complex especially at night. People’s cars were wrongfully towed constantly. People’s cars were broken into constantly. My car was broken into twice. I lock it, I keep nothing it so nothing was taken. It still made me uneasy to know that someone broke into my car twice within 1 year. Overall a lot of drunks bumping music in the parking lot. They were generally good about fixing maintenance issues however once I put my 60 day notice they stopped coming to fix things. Walls and floor boards were crumbling and the carpet was cheap and didn’t even look nice after a few months of living there. Find a safer location. I can still hear the gunshots and see the flashing light through my windows when I think back on living at this complex.
Google the crime rate in this area before signing anything. Low crime rate? No.

I would have given this place no stars, but that is not possible. One of my friends recently moved into these apartments, and we visited the complex. My girlfriend and I came out to leave that night and could not find our car. My first thought was that it was stolen, seeing how I was parked in what I thought was a public parking space. Come to find out the car was towed. The complex DOES have a visitor parking lot, but the only mention (in the visitor parking lot) of towing is if the car sits for two days. Also, the only other mention (in the rest of the lot) of towing is if you park under a covered parking space. It does not say anything about these spaces, that are not covered, being permit parking only. When I asked to speak with the manager about this issue, she was unavailable. She did call me on Monday though, and come to find out! They do have a permit only parking sign! It is at the front gate when you drive in! But like I said, there is no mention (other than the sign at the front) of these NON-​covered spaces being permit parking only. So save yourself the $ 175 tow fee and do NOT visit this complex.
I would not have a problem if this space was CLEARLY marked, it is not at all.

The Creekview Apartment’s April’s specials flyer, which I have a copy of, states without qualification that they offer «Half off 1^st full month!!!» When I called and spoke with their leasing agent (s) Sophia and Shawna, they both indicated to me that this was not entirely true, and only true for 13 month leases. Sophia also disclosed that they do not print this information but only disclose it after further discussion. Since 13 month leases are never a standard lease term, they are practicing the bait and switch method of advertising by falsely offering a written special without qualification and no indication of qualification on their written flyer.
I attempted to logically explain this to both individuals, and they said that they had to consult with the lady I spoke with when I originally called about the apartment. However, I advised them that saying it is her word against mine really doesn’t solve the issue. Rather, I have in writing their advertised specials, which does not qualify their offer of ½ off rent for the first month. As such, we decided to take our money elsewhere. However, we wanted to make everyone aware that buyer beware! This place will offer half-​truths in order to advertise to perspective residents. I would be afraid to know what they do to the people they already have in the door!

Not to bad of a place to live if you’re in the apartment game. Rent is affordable and the staff is friendly. The property is a small complex so that can add to the appeal. The security gates work most of the time and other times I just don’t know what’s“s going on with them. There aren’t many visitor parking spots so get there early if you want one, otherwise you’re on the street. They do tow cars and are pretty good about enforcing that so be fore warned.
