The Dawson

Unkept, unsafe. Car was broken into on the property. Common areas smell unclean, moldy and dusty. No safe to walk property, drive, or live there. Avoid this apartment complex for your own safety and sanity.

This is a great place to live if you want your car stolen. The gate never works so anyone can get here and steal anything from you.

Where do I start. So upon moving in the apartment was completely dirty, uncleaned and looked a mess. The carpet had pee stains They sent someone out to clean which they barely did and to change carpet the next day and I tried to move forward with living here. Next day I got a notice on door to evict because they messed up with the amount that was owed but if I owed how would I even get my keys to apartment. I called and they said it’s mandatory to leave notices and just pay the small difference.... So I did and continued to try to enjoy my new place since I’m in a brand new state but nooo that’s not all. The apartment was infested with tiny black bugs that were biting me up all night!!! So I did reach out snd told them I will be terminating my lease. Mind you this all happened within the week of me staying there. Only reason two stars and not one because they returned my fees and apologized but other than that these apartments are horrible and would look else where if I was you. The elevator and complex smells like pee and just dirty overall. Lee mas

Nice apartments! I'm new to Houston. This transition has been really challenging to say the least. Simone & Rose are truly sent from the heavens above. I love my new home. The complex seem pretty safe and secured. There are a few pools, the gym, dog park, outside cooking place, fire place etc. The Dawson location is PERFECT! Everything you need is in walking distance. I can't make this up. I recommend this place for you.

Lived here nearly 5 years. In the first month, there were two notices of criminal activity, which I appreciated that they informed us, but over time, they didn't communicate enough about activity (and this was before the change in management). However, I am thankful I have never felt unsafe or witnessed any criminal activity. Even being a single woman, I have felt safe in the parking garage. There is always parking (I don't mind parking on the 5th floor if I get home late - I have lived places... that had literally no parking.) It is conveniently located walking distance to a Kroger, Walgreens, McDonalds/ChickFilA, and a liquor store. The worst things? Yes it is loud. Most of the noise is average (music, talking in the corridors past my door, doors slamming) and during evenings, but these units have SUPER thin walls and ceilings, so you can hear footsteps, loud pets, and can almost hear full conversations if it's quiet enough. Entering/existing the complex from Briar Forest is awful in the mornings and especially from 3PM-6PM (there is a school up the road and making the U-turn is a pain. It can be difficult for delivery drivers to locate the complex. I don't think it's super dirty, but yes I've seen dog poop and trash places. They use Fetch to deliver packages because their leasing office could not handle it. They have electrical door locks, so if the battery goes out, you're locked out. Your key fob may also need to be fixed. I've had issues for the last 2 years and got locked out twice. My rent increased just over $200 over the span of 4-5 years, but the last time I renewed, I asked for options to switch units, and they did not offer me any specials or deals considering I had lived here for so long. On to the next! Lee mas
