Vie at The Medical Center

Several problems with the unit upon moving in (dishwasher, washer & dryer, shower, ants, nails in carpet) but only compounded by the poor management and lack of response to our maintenance requests.

I hate this complex. When my lease is up I’m running far away. The office staff pretends as if they have amnesia I’ve called over five times simply to have my air filter changed out. Every complex I’ve lived in previously did quarterly inspections and changed our air filters. The smart ass Gretta said that I should’ve requested my filter be changed. My sink is leaking, and most apartment staff would think this was urgent she said she’ll see how her maintenance staff was doing. This complex was formerly named El Mundo Park so for previous reviews please search for that name. Walls are thin and so are the ceilings you hear every step, and hear your neighbors running water. Lol the remodeled units look much better. The brown tub I have and the yellow washer and dryer makes me slap myself every time I think that I was tricked into moving in! The remodel units are nice but they left the brown tub and bathroom sinks lol! I also have no door between the bedroom and bathroom (why didn’t I think that would be a problem). You’ll hear every time your spouse uses the bathroom and not to mention your neighbors each time they run water. I came to find out that the smart ass Gretta is a manager. When I had a problem I called three times she was «in a meeting» throughout the entire day. I finally came in to see her… needless to say she was still in that «meeting»! I hear people talk about crime but luckily I haven’t experienced any! My lease is up soon… as I read reviews I now know TRUST people that take their time to review a complex!

I am currently without air-​conditioning and hot water. We can not seem to get a maintenance person to help us out. Did I mention my wife’s car was broken into last weekend? No security guards either.

I lived here for a year in Houston when I worked in the Med Center.
Easy maintenance requests, helpful and professional staff, quiet property, never heard neighbors through the walls. Sometimes heard a little noise from parking lot whooping’ and hollerin’ esp. during the Rodeo or a Texans game (Reliant Stadium about 4 miles from here)…but no big deal.
PLENTY of free parking — but I reserved a spot for an extra $ 25/​month b/​c I work late and long hours sometimes. Smaller, more intimate complex tucked close to 288 and 610 both. Only took me 10 minutes to get to Med Center and 15 – 20 minutes to Galleria, depending on traffic. Great pool !
Crime seems to be problem in Houston. I say «seems» because when you look at the raw data, statistically it is not nearly as bad compared to other places I’ve lived (downtown Denver, downtown Chicago). So why did I feel more unsafe in Houston than anywhere I’ve ever lived???
I haven’t figured out if the city just won’t allocate enough funds to support police presence, or the media exaggerates stuff here, or if the cops are in on it (?) or some sinister combo of all of the above.
Do yourself a favor and check out
, stay alert, and get an alarm system no matter where you live in Houston. Even if it’s Galleria or River Oaks :)
