The Corners in The Village

The apartments here are old and average, but the amenities are nice so I would normally give this place 3 stars. However, this past week I had an experience with the leasing office that has left me feeling unsafe and I would NEVER live here again. The leasing office and maintenance staff gave my key to a contractor when I specifically told them they could not and I returned home from a run to find half my bedroom in tarps and part of the wall removed. I asked them how this could happen and the leasing office told me that apparently they don’t really check whether contractors should be in the apartment or not before handing them keys… great…makes me feel really safe. Also, the contractor just left a master key under the mat for anyone to take when they left my apartment! I would not recommend this to anyone.

I have lived here for a year and some months and the experience has been ok. Apartments are old, and honestly overpriced. I paid 880 my first year and 915 for my second for a 650 square foot with W&D and all carpet.
My first year experience was a lot better than my second. Honestly, it seems as though right after I renewed my lease, the cockroaches came out of the woodworks. I am not a dirty person and always clear out my sink, but I see one or two little buggers a couple of times a week. They live in the walls and escape through the little holes in the kitchen because this place is so OLD. It’s so gross, and they have sprayed for them multiple times.
Maintenance is fast and location of apt is nice, close to Loop 12 and 75, SMU, Northpark, lots of restaurants, but for the price, you can get nicer amenities. I will not be renewing for year 3.

Still here. Overall satisfied with the prices, access to amenities and safety. May not be the newest or the nicest but still, am not ashamed to bring my friends to my apt. Overall, I get positive reviews from friends about location, and overall everything here that is covered.

Have lived here with my wife and dog for over 2 years now and we can’t wait to move out. Living here has become miserable. If you live anywhere near the pool, forget about any peace and quiet at any time of day. It’s always a party and it is an open pool so people that don’t live here also come and use the pool and scream all day. And don’t bother calling security– they are out there drinking and yelling with them! (Yes this literally happened).
To summarize– the neighborhood is incredibly inconsiderate.
Apartments are old and overpriced.
Maintenance is generally quick to respond and the office staff are mostly friendly. That’s it for the positives.

The Village community is awesome. I lived in the corners last summer during an internship and had a great experience here. You get what you pay for at the corners. They aren’t the nicest and newest complex in the Village, but they are well maintained and clean upon move in. I lived in a studio here for around $ 955 per month for a 3 month lease.
The staff and service is fabulous. Very friendly and attentive. I really have no complaints.

Pay about $ 920 for a short term lease in an unfurnished unit. Lived here for about 3 months and had to kill 3 cockroaches in my living room. Bathroom ceiling was leaking brown water one time and I had to put a bucket underneath it, tap in the shower leaked too. I do have to give them credit for how quick they are in responding to maintenance requests. Also in the fall they don’t have people cleaning the outside area so your doorsteps would be constantly filled with dried leaves everywhere. With the price you pay you could probably find somewhere else better within the Village community.

I think apartment complexes always get a bad reputation. I’ve lived in many apartment complexes and this one is just fine in my book. Nothing to complain about.
It’s not overly loud, it’s reasonably priced, centrally located, maintenance was timely and effective, good workout trails. No bells and whistles that i don’t want or need. They even have a couple that offers events for the residents that i went to a couple of times. Nothing fancy but a way to meet neighbors and get out for a bit.
I ultimately moved as my job is in Plano and the commute was too much. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the corners property. I actually even renewed my lease when i had that commute because it was a fine place. I lived there for nearly two years.
I will day that I’m not impressed with the gym. it’s too small for how many it services. But they offer outdoor classes that are unlimited in how many they can accommodate. The classes vary by day, have many offerings, and are free to residents.
What else? Renewals are negotiable. Washer and dryer facilities instead of in the unit (nice to do it all at once but i did miss having my own). Place is a little older which makes it more affordable. I had no issues with quality though. And pet friendly.

I’ve lived in the Corners East for a year now and overall I’ve been happy. When I’ve need things to be fixed I get an immediate response. The people in the office are nice to work with, it’s right near the country club and I love the trees and nature close by.

I was a resident in the Corners for about 3 years. The first 2 years were fine. It’s an older complex, so they aren’t great looking inside, appliances are old, flooring is older, walls are extremely thin and you can hear your neighbors urinate (literally), etc, but nothing that’s horrible. However, my last year living there was terrible. A rat somehow got in the crawl space above my ceiling and died, creating a HORRIBLE smell and I had to be out of my apartment a couple of days for them to deal with it (thankfully they paid hotel costs), there were continuous plumbing/​sewage issues with the toilets in the first floor of my building backing up, and the main line overflowing outside, there was a lot of rainfall so there were TONS of issues with water roaches and millipedes inside the buildings, there were issues with the locks on the door not working, a cat got stuck up in the attic of one of the adjacent buildings and was crying to get out for DAYS, the aquarium of the guy living above me broke and leaded through my ceiling. I called maintenance every month, at least once a month, over my last year there.
Maintenance overall was good and would come out and fix things, however there was a HUGE break down in communication between the office staff and maintenance. I would have to make calls throughout the day to ensure that work orders were being followed up on and being given to the maintenance. And sometimes work orders I called in were not completed. So, if you file a work order, be sure to do this online, so that there is a record of it. The office staff was hit or miss as far as helpfulness. There’s a lot of turnover, but that’s not uncommon for a leasing office.
The Corners is less expensive than other apartments in Dallas, however you get what you pay for. Although the property is older, there were still unacceptable issues with it in the last year (I moved out ¹²⁄₂₀₁₃). To put it bluntly, it’s ghetto, there are other options in Dallas of better quality and comparable price.
Also, I noted that one of the other reviewers mentioned shower water being either extremely hot or extremely cold– I had this issue, too, the entire time I lived there.

Moved in just over a month ago and so far, so good!
The leasing office was nice and professional. I was in a pretty unique situation and needed to move ASAP. Luckily there was a cute little studio available, and within two weeks of speaking to Holly, I had moved in to my new apartment.
The grounds are very well kept. There could be a few more pet stations, but once you know where the existing ones are, it’s not too hard to grab a bag for your pup’s poop.
Parking hasn’t been too much of an issue where I live. Even if you have to park in an «inconvenient» spot it is only twenty/​thirty feet from your door instead of the normal ten. No one pays for the covered parking in my little nook (except the dude with the Lexus).
My patio and window overlooks the parking lot, but I’ve never had a problem with noise. There have been a few incidents of people with their car radio too loud, or talking and laughing on the sidewalk, but that’s usually on Friday and Saturday night and it never lasts more than 5 – 10 minutes. As far as noise in the apartment, they’re insulated really well for being built in the 80s. I’m not even actually sure anyone lives in the apartment behind me. On the other side I know there’s a guy because I can hear his shower/​sink run.
Nearly everyone has a pet, since these are the cheaper pet option in the Village. If you don’t have a pet you might want to think about looking elsewhere, because people are always out with their animals, and there are at least 3 cats I see roaming around on a regular basis just around my apartment.
The closet is pretty big for the size of the studio (420 sq ft) and the bathroom is fairly big, relative to everything else. I’ve been able to fit a huge dresser in the closet, along with all my hanging things; and a little cabinet in the bathroom, too. I’ve heard people complain it’s kind of hard to make these apartments unique, because everything is so white, but really I think that’s all based on your personality. I love my little space and I’ve been able to make it my own. I really love living here.
But yeah, it’s only been a month and a week so I’ll try to update this after I’ve been here for 6+.

There are several complexes in The Village from which to choose. For my needs and the price point, The Corners in the Village is the place to be.
Though this is one of the older complexes in The Village, the land and buildings are very well maintained. I’ve had very few issues with my apartment since moving in. When a maintenance issue did occur, all I had to do was create a ticket online and it was handled the next day. The one time I called with an emergency after hours, the man arrived in ten minutes. The parking lots are on the small side. I would highly recommend getting on the list for reserve parking as quickly as possible.
The location cannot be beat at this price point. Across the street at the Village Country Club you’ve got tennis, gym, running/​waling trails, and full service restaurant. In addition, you’re literally blocks away from shopping, dining and activities at Northpark Center, Upper Greenville Avenue and Northwest Highway. You can be down on Mockingbird Lane in less than ten minutes and into Uptown/​Downtown Dallas in less than twenty.
The greatest asset that The Corners has is its staff. Smith Security is always patrol and is quick to answer a call. Barbara, Larry and Charles on the maintenance staff are always quick to keep everything in working order. In the office you have Jennifer, Allie, Drew, Steven, Victoria, Haley, and Phillip that all make you feel like family. Customer service — it is why I leased here in the first place and it is why I am renewing for a third year.

Great Customer Service, the staff got broken up, but now team members soooo, hopefully the level of excellence that the old crew had will continue… The only concern I had was with the porch rules…

They have great amenities especially the club house. Most staff is helpful; there are a few that do give you the run around and never give you a straight answer which gives you a bad perception on the rest of the staff and becomes frustrating. Nonetheless, it is a decent complex. Requires a lot of up keep to the units and upgrades on appliances but they are livable. have yet to actual try using the club house but from afar looks like a great facility. They do host a lot of free social food events within the leasing offices. Always great if you don’t want to cook dinner. Overall, the village does do a great job of making you feel safe with patrol cars roaming the complexes and having the ability to call security and ask them to walk you to your car if you feel insecure.
