The Beverly Apartments

Management is NOT rude, yes it’s an old building, and yes it has some plumbing issues every now and then, but there are more perks than not. And the only rats I’ve seen here (I’ve been here since 2006) are the ones that hog the pool by bringing over a whole slew of visitors at one time.

Also, apparently 1000 year old plumbing is the reason for the mold growing in this place. The staff seems to ignore major issues. You see a maintenance person once but things aren’t really completely fixed.

I don’t live here (yet) but from my tour today, the management was incredibly knowledgeable of the property — as well as kind.
They have 2 versions of every floor plan, «regular» and «designer» — I’m assuming eventually they will have renovated the entire complex.
The residents passing by on the tour were very kind. 24 hour clubhouse with a small gym.
Centrally located in MidTown between Alamo Heights area and the Pearl.
Prices are moderate for the «designer» versions of the units. I have no qualms about this place. I’d be happy to make it my home.
Overall it does have a bit of a quirky side since it used to be a hotel, but I think that just adds to the overall desire for me to live there.
Oh, and the pool is pretty nice; and you can’t complain about the parking garage underneath the apartment complex to keep your car out of the unrelenting Texas sun.

This place (formerly The Villa Fontana) is a complete hell-​hole.
Management is awful — truly the rudest apartment agents I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with, and that’s saying something.
I’ve had mold IN MY WALL since I moved in. It took them at least a full week to send someone up to inspect it, and when they did, they simply removed the drywall and left the moldy wood behind the drywall exposed. Then, they covered it up – and never completed the repairs.
Well, surprise, the mold is back, and it’s in all of my clothes and shoes. I submitted a maintenance request over a week ago, have spoken verbally to both of the people at the front desk and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. Calling the Department of Health today to get this sorted out.
No matter how hard they try to rebrand this place — no matter how many fancy signs, new posters or new leasing agents, this place will always be an old building with serious structural problems. If you want to be treated with respect, if you want livable conditions, don’t sign a lease at The Beverly.
