Park at Walkers Ranch

This is not a glamorous apartment with modern features, but it is very homey feeling. The kitchen is a bit small and the garage door would scrape the refrigerator. But for an apartment with an attached garage, you can’t beat the price. I’m giving the place 3 stars only because when management switched to the current one, service went way down. When I first moved in, if anything went wrong maintenance was all over it and would fix things in the same day. Now, it took 3 days for someone to unclog the toilet and their response to why it took so long is to laugh. The office people are rude, especially the older stout short woman, I assume the assistant manager. She treats you like you’re a nuisance. Bonnie is still a great, understanding flexible manager, but under the circumstances, the new management has ruined the place

My lease will be up in February and I am actually sad to leave this apartment complex. I see a lot of negative reviews on here and I think y’all are over-​exaggerating.
Yes, the entire apartment complex water is often shut off due to repairs. But it is always shut off in the morning when people are usually at work. They always send an email before to let you know when it will be off.
Yes, the gate was open for over a month. But once it was fixed, it was always closed. The gate is closed 24/​7, not a lot of place offers that. I never felt more safe living somewhere (I live in a one bedroom by myself). My friends often complains that it is so hard to get access inside my apartment complex.
Parking is AMAZING here for me. I am in building 17 and is literally in front of a lot of open parking spaces. My friends NEVER had a problem parking here, and I have my own personal garage attached to my unit!
My unit is on the second floor. My attached garage was right below me. So I had no one below OR above me, it is awesome! I also have a basset hound and she is a BIG crier and howler… but I’ve never got a noise complaint (or maybe I just have really cool neighbors!). I can’t hear my neighbors unless they are literally right outside my door.
My AC went out one day but they came out as soon as possible to provide me with a portable one until a brand new one was put in. It runs amazing now!
I don’t know about the office losing mailed packages but I’ve never had a problem here… And I shop online A LOT.
The area is lovely. I can access 1604, 281 and 410 in a matter of minutes. The location is perfect for me!
This apartment complex is old so there’s a lot they are trying to renovate and fix around here. But I’ve never had a maintenance issue. They always come out super quick and fix what I needed. I love the maintenance team! They’re friendly, more than helpful and funny as hell!
The office staff has always been nice to me. I am moving out because I am a student and this place is currently above my budget right now… They personally called corporate to lower my rates down! Who does that?! (They were able to lower down $ 30 but it was still above my budget).
The place is a bit pricey, but it is just in the range of a lot of apartment complexes around here. And 80% of the unit here have attached garages! Other complexes offer DETACHES garages for $ 80 – 120 each. So the price really balances out if you’re in need of one.
I lived at a lot of places… student living, affordable-​income complexes, regular apartment complexes, rented a house, etc. And NEVER have been treated so well like I have here. Be nice to them and I’m sure you’ll get the same treatment in return.
I can’t say anything about the bill for damages/​receiving deposit back because I haven’t moved out yet, but will be glad to update this review when that day comes.
Overall, I’d recommend this place. I definitely love where I live.

I’ve always thought that it was going to take some time for the new management and maintenance team to get their act together, but after a year they still haven’t. They’re my first complaint about living here. This used to be a wonderful place to live until the new management came in. They’re rude, disorganized, and blatantly don’t care about your issues. I used to be able to put maintenance requests in via email and have them resolved within a few short hours. Now, it takes several phone calls and a few days to get anything done. They are CONSTANTLY having to turn the water off, at least once a week, to repair «issues» they won’t tell us about, but they can’t take 5 minutes to come change two light bulbs. These kind of maintenance issues happened on more than one occasion. Also, if you do make the horrible mistake of moving here, don’t ever have a package sent here. I made that mistake 3 times too many. Each time, they would tell me they never received my package, and send me on my way., Then when I would go back and check on the shipping company’s website one of the office staff had signed for it each time. It wasn’t until I went back and told them this, (yes, all three times, I do not exaggerate) my packages miraculously appeared.
The parking is a nightmare and one weekend they started putting «boot» warnings on people’s windshields. I was parked in an actual parking space and got one, however one gentleman with a truck too big for an apartment with a trailer hitched to the back, was parked in a fire lane and he did not receive one. Another thing is that previously, we had our water added to our rent every month, which was never more than $ 7-​$ 15 dollars extra. Since the new management has come in and taken over, they have a water management company, and the bills have been anywhere from $ 27-​$ 30. While I understand that this is relatively cheap still, its astounds me that just because there is a «management» company that the rates went up so drastically. To boot, this amount is not debited with rent and there is no way to set up an automatic payment for the water portion of the bill. It’s a pain in the ass. I hate it here, and I really cannot wait to move out!

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. The new management is so rude and extremely unhelpful. We have never had so many issues with our living situation. The management obviously struggles to keep the grounds clean and safe. Cars and garages are broken into all the time. We have had maintenance enter our apartment without knocking and notice for «accidental service request mix ups». The management’s accounting practices are also extremely shady. Before when CWS owned the property, they were amazing but now, under new management and ownership, the place has gone down the drain!

It’s such a shame how downhill this complex has gone since I first moved in. I’ve been a resident here for almost 6 years and let me tell you I can’t wait until I move out in the Spring! Ever since the new property management company took over its been nothing short of a nightmare. The front office staff is often rude, the grounds have gone to complete hell and the maintenance staff is less than timely or motivated to truly fix anything. I was afraid that this was going to happen shortly after I renewed my lease in March. I’ll give you my latest issue:
So… I love it when you schedule a maintenance request (especially when it’s to request something to be fixed that hasn’t been fixed TWO PREVIOUS REQUESTS AGO) and you’re given an 8-​hour window of time when maintenance is supposed to show up only to then be told that they’re not only not going to be able to fix your issue today (apparently there are 4 «emergencies» going on at the same time that the other 2 maintenance guys can’t tend to?) but that there are several other «emergency» situations that take higher priority and «we cannot give you a definite date as to when we can come out to fix your issue this week.» ARE YOU FLIPPIN SERIOUS!!! The inside of my refrigerator is LEAKING!!! How is that NOT an emergency?! So ready to be done with my apartment complex!!!
I was so pissed that I posted that little story on my Facebook account. Wouldn’t bother trying to tag our apartment complex in it since they haven’t posted anything on Facebook since April of this year.
With all of that being said, I beg of you please do not move into this complex! I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy!

I’ve tried very hard to refrain from writing a review until after I moved out but I can no longer. At this point in time I wish I had the money to move out of this place. The first unit that we were in was RIGHT next to the dumpster and when I say right next to it, I mean I could look out my bedroom window and see the beautiful trash that our lovely residents would leave behind. We were not allowed to view our unit ahead of time and were told that it was a safety hazard since the carpet in the bedroom had just been cleaned… Ok? If we had known we were right next to the dumpster we would have never accepted that unit. Not only did we deal with that, we were constantly barricaded in our garage, not able to leave, due to the fact that maintenance/​trash men/​and residents would block us in by parking in front of our garage. Residents would leave their dirty, old, broken furniture in front of our garage and even next the dumpster making the view out my bedroom window even more lovely, we even had to threaten calling the cops to file a report for a safety hazard since they had left 4 stacked couches outside our window and a bunch of old, dry Christmas trees as well. Can you say fire hazard??? (this was in the summer time also so they had been there since DECEMBER!) After dealing with bugs, leaks, and a dirty dishwasher that I practically had to beg them to replace due to terrible mold inside, everything was fixed and since the manager had been absolutely kind and amazing, and due to lack of saved money, we decided to stay another year in a different but much bigger unit away from the dumpster. Since moving in the new unit, it was a nightmare from the beginning but once again, we didn’t have much of a choice. They changed management companies and we were apparently the first tenants to renew a lease with them… Yay… Upon entering our «new» «lovely» unit, we noticed that the cabinets in the kitchen had A LOT of wear and tear. The dishwasher, Jesus Christ, the dishwasher is old, outdated, and has several rust stains all on the inside. I informed them of this and the fact that it was not draining and they came and fixed the draining issue and that’s it. Now I’m left with a disgusting, old dishwasher with lovely rust stains on the inside. Our water heater has not been in service for almost 2 months now. We get about 5 minutes of warm water ONCE a day and my boyfriend and I have to decide if we want to allocate that water towards a shower, dishes, or the washing machine for clothes. This is an issue as I work in an animal shelter and come into contact with some pretty nasty stuff that can be transferred to humans. To this day as I write this, we still only get 5 minutes of warm water. The toilet lid in the master bathroom doesn’t go with said toilet and doesn’t match in color or correct size. The sliding drawers in master bathroom are old and falling apart. Actually one did completely fall apart and I’ve just decided to not even bother having it fixed because at this point, it’s useless. The pools are mosquito infested in the worst way and are far from enjoyable. Many of the tenants here are inconsiderate A-​holes and park wherever they want. The parking here is a completely nightmare so don’t plan on having friends over. Tenants also leave their trash outside their units whenever they please even if it’s not trash pick-​up day, so there are times when trash is left out for a few days, leaving it out for the lovely raccoon’s to go through. Basically, what I’m trying to say is DO NOT RENT OR LIVE HERE.

Overpriced, rude staff, my aprtment was broken into twice once while I was at home! A dozen or so other tenants have reported break ins as well, cars vandalized. The pool was closed most of the summer for repairs. Do yourself a favor and look across the street or blanco at haven.

Yes the parking situation is why we moved out. My garage was directly behind a fire lane but people would still park there. I complained numerous times… the on site officer was a joke and lazy! Yeah I hope he reads this! Would never tow these idiots who would park there because I could never get out of my garage. Management was no help at all. I do not recommend these apartments unless you have a smart car.
