The Standard

My husband and I have loved living at the standard! The recent change in management has only made our experience better. The Standard’s staff is helpful, fair, and quick to help us with any tenant needs we come across. Wouldn’t want to live any where else! Highly recommend this complex if you are looking for a safe, family and dog friendly apartment, without sacrificing nice amenities and quality living.

Overpriced rent, disrespectful college kids that trash the pool area and play their music obnoxiously loud, bad management and trash has been overflowing for weeks. Can’t wait for our lease to be over.

Managment has gone way down hill, they use to be super knowledgable and accommodating now all they do is tell you what you arnt allows to do. I wanted to upgrade to a 2 car garage from a 1 car and the girl behind the front desk told me I wasn’t allowed to because I was living alone. You would think that since a 2 car garage costs more money they would be happy to have me switch, not the case. I will be moving from this place as soon as I can!

I moved in a couple of months ago and LOVE it! It’s so conveniently located to everything in Dallas. The apartment grounds are always very clean! I completely disagree with other reviews concerning the management. The management is awesome! They are so friendly and helped me with everything I needed to get my apartment all setup. I have called for maintenance twice since living here and they have come the same day each time. I also disagree with the comments about the noise. I never hear my neighbors! I would and have recommended this complex to friends!

After two years of living at The Standard I believe it is time for us to part ways. Although the apartments are beautiful and the pool is one of the best in
Dallas, the maintenance calls take days/​weeks to be fixed (if ever) and the new management is rude and unprofessional. Also, most residents do not follow the apartment rules (especially not keeping dogs on leashes and frequent loud music). That being said, if you call in a complaint, expect that it not be fixed. So, fines aren’t issued very often (good if you aren’t the best resident, bad if you have annoying neighbors). But, if you live facing the pool, expect the management team to keep a close eye on you as this is the first thing prospective clients see when receiving a tour. Overall, The Standard was a joy to live in with the old management team (Laura as mentioned in other posts I’ve seen), but for me, the new employees are a bit of a game changer.

Ps it’s funny how they say the charge was for an abrasive cleaner (never used anything but water) when the reason we were told was BC of the dents… Funny

If a quiet environment and good nights sleep is what your looking for this is NOT the place for you! I love my apartment and have never had any issues with the maintenance team but I do have a major issue with the tenants. It is a weekly occurrence to be awoken between the hours of 1 am and 4 am by loud, drunk people coming home from the bars. The cabs will park under my bedroom window while they file out and stomp up the stairs. There are far too many college students and I don’t understand with the price of rent how they do not have more professional adults like myself living here. The weekends when the maintenance team is not here the grounds get destroyed, from cans to solo cups, etc. And the dog poo is unbelievable. As a dog owner myself I am blown away by the lack of respect, there are multiple dog stations around the complex and there will be piles of poo 2 ft from the bags. I moved in the first year they opened and loved to take my dog to the dog run but now it’s so gross I don’t even take him in there. They have tried to fix it up and even placed a fence across a portion so that they could grow the grass back on one side but people would step on the fence and allow their dogs in. I think they gave up and just took down the fence.
It appears many people have moved out since the holidays and I haven’t seen many moving back in. The apartment next to me has been vacant for months and I understand why, when you overrun a complex with SMU students the professionals will move out. No one over the age of 30 want to feel like they live in a Frat house when they pay $ 1500 a month in rent. This will be my last year here as I just can’t take the noise. It’s a shame.

The Standard is by far the best apartment complex I’ve lived at in Dallas. I’ve lived here for over a year now, and just resigned for another one. The rent is reasonable for such a nice apartment. The management is very nice and willing to help you out with anything. The maintenance guys are the best I have seen at an apartment complex. Anything I’ve ever had problems with has been taken care of within 24 hours, without a problem. I would definitely recommend The Standard to anyone to live at!

I am a current resident at The Standard and I love living here! I have lived here since August of 2012. I was really surprised to see the other reviews on Unilocal because I have had a great experience living here. The management is as good as it gets. Angela, Laura, and Tyler are all so friendly and always are willing to help meet my needs. The management team has even organized free weekly yoga sessions in our workout room! All maintenance requests I have made were completed on the same day. The grounds are beautiful and kept very clean. The resort-​style pool is beautiful and peaceful. When I go sit by the pool I feel like I am on vacation! The workout room is top notch with the newest equipment. I would like to stay here for as long as I can, but I started working in Fort Worth so I might be moving there because commuting is too difficult. I would highly recommend living at The Standard!

My rent was increased over 15% ($ 200). If you think you could afford it, it is OK place to stay. People in leasing office are TERRIBLY unfriendly. Of course, it will not be the first day when they show you the apartment. However, after you move in, their attitude changes. I have big ans problem and roof leaking problems in my apartment. My friend has bathroom flooding problem and the reason was that maintainance was fixing his neighbor’s bath room and destroy his…
Don’t even try to negotiate the annual increase. Because they will simply tell you that they would prefer you move out and they will get a customer to replace you tomorrow on the street.
If you are rich and if you feel OK to be pushed around, it is OK to stay. Otherwise, AVOID them!

It’s a expensive for what you get. I lived there for little bit more than a year and they changed management about 4 times and bad news, everything it gets worse, The first management company was the best one so far. The water in the kitchen of the apartment smells horrible, you need to let it run out everytime for about a minute to lose a little bit the smell. We called many times and couldnt be resolved. Saw some people pissing in the stairs, we didnt have a dish washer for over a month, many times reported a maintenance problem and had to reported couple of times to get some attention. Most of the people that actually goes to the pool dont live there and they tried brazaletes, but didnt help at all. We lost power many times due to some problem with the brakers in the apartment that it couldnt resolve, at least by The Standard.
They charged us to clean the apartment when we leave it in really good conditions and it was actually dirties when we moved in. During weekend is really hard to find a parking spot, mainly because there are so many people that goes to the pool that dont even live there.
There is much more stuff that happened, but that dont want to get in more detail. At the beginning they seems really nice, they offer you what ever you want and pay attention to your needs. This mainly to get you in the least. After this, you need to call or go and talk to them more than once to be able to get something done.
I used to live in the Village, and honestly I will recommended without thinking about it over the Standard. Beware
