Parque Del Oro Apartments

Just had my company move me from here and I’m giving it a one based on many aspects. I will be honest, management will reply to my response and know who I am as they were dealing with me on a daily basis for the whole 3 weeks I resided there. They were cordial and prompt but let’s be honest, I was constantly bugging them and I felt really bad for that. The complex is pretty full of luscious gardens, pool is ok does have a hot tub too if gets chilly but it’s all closed at 11 pm. My apartment was the most issue. When I arrived, they had remodeled but seemed not to had finished. The baseboards weren’t on in the bedroom and closet and the place smelled so horrible like musty. It still was there even after duct cleaning. The wall in bedroom had a large black spot on it that appeared to be mold. They did rip it out and spray kilnz but how do I know that fixed the issue when I still smelt musty mildew everywhere? Next issue was the cockroaches. They did spray right away and I was ok for 2 weeks. Week three rolled around and I had over 8 of the beetle like ones in my kitchen and that was it for me. I’m super clean could not figure out why they kept coming back. Found out I had been cleaning up the roach egg pouches since I moved in. All in the corners of the place. Other issues and things needed fixed: ice maker, fridge door fell off at one point for no reason and was brand new, all electrical outlets would not hold a regular iPhone charger or anything in them they were loose, big hole in the wall of the closet. What am I forgetting… Oh and if you do decide to move here, some units don’t have a washer and dryer. Security was there a lot I saw him even when I came home at like 5 am one morning but I did see a girls window smashed in who parked on the street. Oh it’s right next to 610 also… noisy if on the backside so go see your place first. If you don’t see any roaches or egg pouches maybe you won’t have to make them your best friends as I did.

***Although the exterior of these apartments seem nice, do not let this fool you. THIS APARTMENT AND THE APARTMENTS ON EL MUNDO STREET ARE NOT SAFE. Things seemed fine and well for the past year and a half, until the past few months I’ve noticed more and more people’s cars getting busted into on El Mundo street and inside of Parque Del Oro. Management will act sad and suggest that you file a report to the police when your car gets busted into, but this DOES NOT do anything at all. The complex says nothing but «we are not liable, it is in your signed contract». When in fact, their back gate will stay broken and open for weeks on end, this is when a series of cars were busted into in the complex. Though i complained about this, they do nothing but apologize and give excuses that the people who were supposed to come out and keep fixing their gate never comes in a timely manner. Even so, this should not be happening when you pay $ 1300 a month for rent. There is only one security guard parked in the very front of the complex, whom whenever I see around, he is chatting it up with the maintenence crew. Our lease is up in September and i MOST DEFINITELY do not plan on staying. Whatever you do, DO NOT STAY AT PARQUE DEL ORO and DO NOT RENT ON EL MUNDO STREET! ***

Don’t know much about these apartments except that my friend is having a Christmas party here. We’ve had get-​togethers here before and they’ve all been great. Located near 288 and 610, this is a great location for commuting anywhere in Houston. You’d have to ask someone else about living here though.
