Zang Triangle Apartments

After living here for over 2 years the place has completely gone downhill the management is terrible now! Not only is it now letting anyone lease (drug dealers) it’s not the place I would like to call home people are always loud. The walls are completely thin so you can hear everything and anything anyone is doing! The amenities are always occupied by residents and there whole families! Birthday parties at the pool with cake spilled everywhere is not how I would like to spend my day off by the pool! Would not recommend to live here!

I lived here for three years and I’m very glad I left soon after Venterra bought it. Once Venterra took over everything went downhill; there seemed to be a high rate of turnover in the front office staff, all of whom seemed to care very little about existing residents. Right before my husband and I moved out we got a notice that the front office would no longer be accepting packages for residents. WTF, I’ve never had an apartment complex refuse to accept packages, never mind the fact that FedEx would drop packages off at the office before checking to see if you were actually home.
The reason I stuck around for so long is because the location is great and there are aspects of the unit that I liked a lot. The appliances were all pretty good for an apartment. The kitchen was well done and our layout had an impressive island in the kitchen which was great for food prep or entertaining guests.
The community was meh. The complex is very dog-​friendly which means encountering dog pee in the hallways on the regular and sometimes people taking their dog to the on-​site dog park wouldn’t use a leash (can you tell I’m a Cat Person?). Trash in the garage was common. The gym and pool are decent for an apartment complex.
My main complaint is that my husband and I have both lived in several different apartment complexes and we’ve never experienced a complex where you can hear your neighbors as much as Zang Triangle. All the units have «wood» floors which look really cool but then you quickly come to realize that there’s a reason most apartments stick to carpet: we could hear every.single.thing. our upstairs neighbors were doing. Every step they took sounded like an elephant was walking around. Every dropped item sounded like some bro at the gym dropping his 100 lb weights to make sure everyone knew he just lifted the aforementioned weights. At one point, a couple with a toddler lived above us and the toddler ran around for hours; at first we thought a grown adult was running laps within the apartment unit. If you’re going to move in, do yourself a favor and try to get a top floor unit so you don’t have to deal with upstair neighbors. Unfortunately you’ll still be stuck with neighbors on either side. Paper thin walls mean I could sometimes actually make out the dialogue on the TV show or movie my neighbors were watching.
I think if you’re a young twenty-​something who keeps late hours, Zang Triangle wouldn’t be too bad, but there are definitely better places to live in Dallas.

Horrible service I’m lucky it didn’t work out except for the ridiculous inconvenience of having to wait a month to get my deposit and first month and a half of rent back. I was showed a model and told my unit would be exactly like the model except it would have hand rails in the tub and the microwave would be on the countertop instead of built into the wall like the model because the unit was handicap assessable. I was fine with that but I still wanted too see the unit before I moved in. They said it wasn’t ready for a couple weeks so I waited. After a couple weeks I tried again and they told me it still wasn’t ready to show at this point I was four days from my move in so I just waited. Upon move in when I walked into the apartment it was completely unlike the model. The kitchen was different no ice machine in the freezer the guest closet didn’t have a door and the master bathroom was also different the shower was completely open for a wheelchair to wheel in and the tile floor with a big drain in the middle of the floor. To be honest with you I can’t even see someone who is handicap that would like this. I’ve seen handicap accessible showers, this was more like a open Locker room shower. I’m not sure what they were thinking of the design of this, but maybe it is good for someone who is handicap so maybe they should sell it as that and to someone who is need of it. Overall a horrible inconvenience to me and my family. I was excited to move in and it was a huge let down! I also feel like they tried not to show me the unit on purpose and sold me on what they knew it wasn’t. Then they offered me an apartment that was twice as much.
I gave them one star because I couldn’t give zero stars.

I’ve lived here for two years and I’m very disappointed with the fact that these apartments were sold off to Venterra. The level of compassion and friendliness has severely taken a dive. Before that fact Zang Triangle was a great location. If you’re comfortable with people being rude and obnoxious, being charged for simple things internal expenses this is your new home. Before Venterra I used to come into the office and actually liked the people that worked here they understood their market and the area. These fake People need to go back to where they came from and take down that poster in the office with their «Values». I was considering living here a 3^rd year because I recently graduated and got a job in downtown but in considering going a little deeper into bishop arts to the newly renovated Magnolia

I’ve lived at the Zang Triangle for a little over a year now. I wanted something nice, but reasonably priced, that was close to my office downtown. When I first started looking at apartments, an apartment locator took me all the usual places in uptown (the Post, Camden, etc.) but one bedrooms were all $ 1200 and up. I was disappointed by the choices and was about to give up until we arrived at The Zang Triangle. Compared to all the other places I had seen, this was the best value in terms of price, proximity to my work, and amenities.
The ZT is fairly new and I got a studio for under $ 1,000/month. Score. I didn’t need anything too big, and I liked the open layout of the studio apartment. The appliances are all energy efficient and the toilets even have the efficient dual flush system (up for liquids and down for solids). The floors are a faux laminate, but they look really nice! I have the dark wood and stainless steel combo. The closet is a bit small, but I just store all my winter clothes in big plastic bins and shelve them on top. You can get a lot of cute, compact furniture at Ikea and Crate and Barrel to fit into your small apartment.
Management is very receptive and I have always felt welcomed whenever I approach them. The main guy that works there, Xavier recognizes me by name and it really does feel like a small community. Compared to the other apartments I looked at, there are fewer units and the staff tries to instill that sense of community by putting together monthly events like burrito breakfasts, trivia night, pumpkin carving contests, spaghetti thursdays, etc. I really love living here and especially enjoy my commute to work. 8 minutes tops and I get to drive across the breathtaking Margaret Hunt Hill bridge on the way to work each morning. The other BIG plus is its proximity to Bishop Arts. Not to mention, just walking around it is a pretty complex with corrugated steel, hammocks, water features, and string lights. There are two awesome Wolf brand grills that gas and available for use to all the tenants.
On to the not so positives. The other reviewers are correct when they talk about security. Since I’ve lived here, there have been about 2 break-​ins, 1 car theft, and 1 time where someone stole all the bikes from the bike lockers in the parking garage. Now I say this in full discretion and am impressed that the office does a good job communicating to all the tenants when these events occur. Since then, I have noticed a serious increase in security and there is a guard that patrols the complex every night. I personally have not felt unsafe, but I also don’t do anything stupid like walk around late at night in the nearby dark alley. I haven’t heard any crime incidents recently since the new security detail has begun. Regardless, for the price and convenience, I would live here any day!
In summary, if you’re looking for an affordable, yet nice/​newer apartment that’s close to downtown, this is your spot. I can’t recommend it enough to my friends!

I have lived here for 14 months now and for the price and the close location to downtown, uptown and Bishop Arts, it’s hard to beat. When I first moved here, I was living on the 3^rd floor in a studio but have since moved to the 6^th floor to a one bedroom. It’s true from the other reviews that if you have a neighbor living above you, you can hear them walking around. This is true not for just here, but any apartment in Dallas. Zang street is pretty quiet for the most part. Especially since the construction on the trolley line has finished. I moved in right before the construction started and it was a real pain at times, but all is good now!
The management staff is similar to what I have experienced at other places. Currently, the manager and assistant manager are great and do a good job addressing any issues with parking, security etc. I have yet to file any service tickets and all of the units come with their own full size washer and dryer. There have been a few security issues over the past 14 months, but the management has gone to lengths hiring security staff that frequently walks the parking garage with a golf cart for the entire complex.
I have a great view of Lake Cliff park and now that I live on the top floor, I no longer have to deal with hearing anyone above me. The gym is pretty standard for most apartments and is kept clean and access controlled. The pool can be a point of contention at times because there are a fair number of families that live in the complex, but the management has just addressed this by issuing resident and guest arm bands. This is a nice gesture to at least attempt to curb some of the residents from inviting their whole family over for a pool party.
Having moved from downtown, the price is about $ 350 less than what I was paying for a one bedroom there with plenty of visitor garage and street parking. Overall, I really do enjoying living here and plan on staying here for the time being.

The complex looks nice on the outside and the apartments are decent but it’s incredibly overpriced, the amenities aren’t very good, the area is dangerous (I have had to call the cops on more than one occasion, strangers banging on my door in the middle of the night, etc) and the management is terrible.
Small management team that doesn’t fix problems, doesn’t return phone calls, and doesn’t do a whole lot of anything to accomodate their residents.
I lived there for 6 months and highly dissuade anyone who is considering living here from doing so.

I have been living in their A1 unit for about 14 Months now and my lease ends in October. I have pretty much enjoyed living here for the most part and we have met a lot of great friends. In October we will be upgrading into a bigger unit on a lower floor and I am super pumped! Zang has had a lot of unfortunate events happen to them the past year that I have been here but they still manage to be pretty good about taking care of things.
Also, just a heads up, there is construction by the apartment garage that doesn’t end until 2014.

I’ve lived here for over almost 6 months now and will not be renewing my lease. Don’t get me wrong, this place has some really nice features but for me the cons outweigh the pros.
Pros: nice swimming pool, modern fixtures, stunning downtown views on select apartments, gym, friendly and very helpful staff.
Cons: if you have an upstairs neighbor you will not enjoy your experience here. There is no sound insulation from above and you will hear every step taken and almost every word spoken. Also this place is pretty expensive. A studio apartment will run you over $ 800/​month, and that’s without any decent views of the city.

I have a friend who moved in here a few months ago that I visit pretty frquently. We went exploring last weekend and checked out all of the different areas on the property. The pool and spa is beautiful, with lots of lounge chairs and couch seating around a firepit. The spa does not seem to be heated, not sure if they heat it during the winter months. There is a «rec room» with a pool table and bar/​seating area, and a tv with couch seating in front of it (and restrooms). Outside of the rec room is a grilling area (there are a few grills around the property), with lots of patio seating. The aesthetic design of the outside of the building is really well thought out. There are a lot of impressive details. The inside of the apartment is also really nice, all brand new. I know there were problems with the AC when he first moved in, but they seemed to fix it pretty quickly.
There are a lot of children living in the complex, young families, a lot of cultural flavor (it is Oak Cliff folks). Everyone that I have come into contact with around there seems to be friendly.
Right across the street from Zang Triangle is Oak Cliff Founders Park. We walked all through both sides of the park (it stretches across the street). There are lots of walking trails and benches on the side near Oakenwald St. In the larger park area (across Colorado St.) there are a few pavilions and grilling areas, tennis and basketball courts, a playground and a large and small pond (with fountain). It was full of people on that day (Sunday), lots of children and younger families. In my opinion, it’s a really nice park (during the day). I have seen some «sketchy looking» people over there too though, probably wouldn’t venture out there at night.
As mentioned in previous reviews, Zang Triangle is just a few short minutes from the Bishop Arts area, which is chock full of some really cool places to check out. The view down Zang Blvd into downtown is pretty amazing.

This is a new apartment complex few blocks from the Bishop Arts District and like 2 minutes to downtown Dallas crossing the bridge/​river, there are two parks right across the street, the neighborhood is a mixture of everything. Come on, it is in Oakcliff! Although the northern end of Oakcliff, and I think the city is trying to better the area, who knows.
I like how artsy this place looks like, especially the office with a big plastic tree in the middle haha! Everyone in the office is so far friendly and helpful, so hope they keep up the good work. I’ve had some minor issues with the management, such as them towing my car when I had the sticker on the window (just hard to see).
After living here for a year and moving to somewhere else, I have to say that everything is bearable except the paper thin wall and insensitive neighbors that make up lots noises middle of the night that sounded like bowling, having a marching band, and all sorts of crazy things going on up there. I also thought rent’s overpriced considering the neighborhood it is in. It wasn’t close to any grocery shops and to be honest the whole Oakcliff area is kinda ghetto, I’m glad to be out of there.
