Cobblestone Park Apartments

I am a current resident and what sold me on the property besides the amenities was the office staff. I have lived in a few properties in the area and was unhappy with the office staff especially for the price I was paying which made it even worst. When I came in I told Nicole Alexander what I wanted and was looking for and she went above and beyond to help me. For that I am thankful and anytime I go into the office I am greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. She made my moving experience the best and my living experience even better. She makes sure nothing even maintenance requests go without being taken care of. Not going to lie the parking could be better but that was explained to me in detail and during my tour of how many spots was for my visitors which is why I chose to get a garage. With the garage I still pay less than any other apartment in the area. Don’t have any problems at all but I know if I do I can walk into the office and get it taken care of.

Now that I’ve moved away from Houston for good and have completed my time at Cobblestone Park Apartments, I feel that it’s my duty to leave a detailed and helpful review of this place on Unilocal since the current set of reviews are mostly nit-​picky and do not in any way accurately reflect what living at Cobblestone is actually like. I would know, I lived there for 6 years.
Are there pros and cons to this place? Sure, just like everywhere else! But would I live here again if I needed to? Absolutely. In fact, if we hadn’t needed to relocate across the country for work, we’d probably just stay there indefinitely until we finally decided to purchase something of our own. I have no reason to exaggerate, but I wanted to paint a more accurate picture of what this community is like because I certainly didn’t find my time there to be so unpleasant.
First and foremost, Cobblestone Park is BIG. Like, really, super dense and big. A whole lot of people live there and it is spread out over a decent sized plot of land. That much being said, there are many humans here and there are some issues that come along with that, many of which have nothing to do with the management or owners at all. Off the top of my head, there are some 38 buildings each with at least 10 units in them and if you do some rough math you’ll realize that a ton of people live there. Are they all cool? No, of course not. Are most of them? From my experience, yeah, absolutely. Our neighbors were all very friendly at best, or quiet and introverted at worst. Not much noise, the grounds are kept very clean and manicured, and the amenities like the walking trail are always kept in great condition. Though the other review is true in that sometimes people are lazy with their trash bags and personal belongings, that is the fault of those people, not the management. As such, it’s absurd to leave a scathing review of the company when you really should have written a Unilocal review for that jerk that won’t clean up after themselves.
The units themselves are really spacious and well appointed, in my opinion. We’ve had to majorly downsize to live in Seattle and are constantly finding ourselves thinking fondly of the extra space, the big closets, the big showers/​bathtubs, and the fantastic tile floors. We also really enjoyed that most of the units are physically separated from other units with breezeways and typically only share a single wall with any other tenants. Because of this and because of the relatively new construction, you very rarely, if ever, hear noise from others.
We also loved that we really got to know the staff in the leasing office well and that they remembered our names and were always kind to us despite being very busy. For two people living far away from home, it may sound cheesy but it was always comforting to know that you could at least turn to them if you needed something.
To touch on points in the other reviews:
–Is there a snake problem?: Are there snakes? Totally. Is it a problem? Well, you live in Texas and Texas is full of snakes so I guess only you can answer that question.
–Is the trash removal situation bad?: There are jerks who don’t clean up after themselves and there are certainly people who pile trash up under the stairs outside of the acceptable timeframe, yes. They are working on improving that situation but really you need to direct your frustration about that to your neighbors who are actually doing it, not the office.
–Is the parking situation bad?: It wasn’t my favorite thing about living there because there are a LOT of people and not a lot of parking spots but I made it through 6 years without being towed and my friends visited me all the time and didn’t have a problem. A little perseverance goes a long way!
–Is the contract misleading or full of fine print?: IT’S A CONTRACT! If you have to remind people to read a contract carefully, you have problems much greater than legal mumbo jumbo. Of course you should read it carefully, make sure you understand it before you sign it, and discuss issues with the office before agreeing to anything. You don’t HAVE to live there or sign anything at all but if you do, you agree to terms. If anything, you should view it as protecting yourself from legal action as well. Know your rights and do your homework! Being surprised by things that were written in the contract but glossed over is no one’s fault but your own.
Put simply, this place is pretty great and has many awesome units for a pretty good price for the area. Pearland is up-​and-​coming and keeps making lists of the better suburbs in the Houston metro and each time that happens, you can expect the prices to rise across the board. Small price to pay for comfort, safety, and a really cool community. Please don’t let the low ratings from jilted ex-​residents steer you away. Take it from a veteran long-​term resident that has nothing to gain from writing this other than setting the record straight.

Cobblestone is one of the least professional apartments I have ever lived in. The staff there don’t care about their tenants, all they care about is the money they can get out of you. I have never been treated as poorly as my wife and I were treated at Cobblestone Park. I strongly discourage people living in these apartments until the management change. They have no heart for the people staying there. When we first moved there, the lady that was our leasing agent was incredibly sweet. We walked in one day to thank her and was informed that she didn’t work there anymore. From that point on when we had an issue or a question the staff acted as if we were pulling their teeth out because we need their help. If you are still going to live there please make sure to READ THE CONTRACT VERY CAREFULLY. Make sure you understand what hidden charges are there. I suggest having someone look over the contract before you sign it because they WILL NOT go over it with you. *UPDATE* And I just received a call from a debt collector saying we own them $ 119 for cleaning the apartment. We have never received letters about this problem even though we left them our address and upon leaving after our walk through were told that we wouldn’t have to pay any additional charges. Thanks Cobblestone for ruining my credit even though we paid you on time every month.

Great location and nice apartments. There is a snake issue during the summer months. Also they don’t inform you of packages arriving. I was sent a package that was labeled chocolates and I received it days later. Went to the office twice and they kept saying it hadn’t arrived when it was sitting there the whole time. No apologies just a box of melted mess. Several times I had to go and have them hunt down my packages. Maintainece takes there time, if you live on the ground floor you’re subject to trash at all times until they pick it up. They have a courtesy trash pick up on certain days. Trash is out there all day everyday. Also, you will be charged a fee for «carpet replacement» upon move out. They will find things to charge you for. You can’t beat the location. There are ones down the road that’s less and the same amenities.

Once you move in, good luck getting your call answered or returned. I only get attention to needs when I come in office, in person. Ximena, the property manager is a horrible person
Severe mold.
Since April I have only seen 1 snake. Water moccasin

Love the location nice and quiet only reason why they don’t get a five star rating is because of the snake problem!!!
