The Abbey at Park Lakes Apartamentos

Main points
Apartments are mostly modern.
They are spacious, even the ones without the garage.
Ease of access to the Beltway, extremely fast and easy.
Parking spots and parking spot size is not an issue. Plenty of space and spots. So having people over is not difficult.
The current staff is amazing and does a great job, maintenance staff included.
General safety is taken seriously and not lightly.
The overall pricing is average but fair.
I've had mostly outstanding neighbors and overall the... community is very nice and so are the people.

I self viewed the 2x2 today and I was very impressed. I felt the grounds were clean and the landscaping was very pretty. I’ve never done a self guided tour before and I liked that I could take my time and really look around and envision my furniture inside the space. I would have liked a little more information from the office but it’s ok I’ll ask later :)

Viewed the property, on the market for a 1 bedroom apartment. They do self tours, I took myself to view the 1 bedroom apartment and everything was smelly and pretty nasty. It’s obvious they don’t power wash the grounds, and’s don’t make the residents upkeep the porch areas. The show apartment was smelly, hot and I’m sure the square footage is inaccurate. I was immediately turned off and from the real reviews I don’t think it’s worth the time.

One bedroom apartment is spacious. Recommend 3rd floor if your intended to get a one bedroom to avoid stomping. Maintenance is are always responsive at a timely manner and quick to for fix ups. Super close to shopping needs, and highway access beltway 8 and 59. Pool and game room are always great for guest and renters for entertainment.:)

My girlfriend and I moved in a few months ago and were initially very impressed with the place. However, sadly, it is all an illusion. My car was stolen two days ago from here. There is supposedly a security guard on the property, but I have only seen him once at the pool checking people's wristbands. I have two dogs that I walk three times a day around the whole complex and I have never seen him. We asked the front office to help us with this theft. There are cameras at the exits, and we... asked to see them. We were told the cameras went in and out that night and that only the police could see them. In other words, they're not working. Jose at the front office even had the audacity to ask if the car may have been repossessed. What an insult and what a sad excuse for a customer service professional.

Recently we have also noticed a steady decline in the caliber of tenants. My neighbor below me uses his car space as a make shift mechanic shop with a full complement of compressor tools. As I write this, from the sound of it, he appears to be grinding metal. What a wonderful Saturday morning. There are a large number of construction workers that live at the complex along with their large and unsightly diesel trucks. I can also hear my neighbors talking through the AC vents. Very pleasant.

Less then a mile north of the complex is the Atascocita Recycling Center. How do I know it's there? The smell. What does it smell like? Like a giant dumpster, which is essentially what it is. The smell is even more pungent after it rains, as it has been recently.

There is a nice dog park. It's basically a dog dump center. When I mentioned the caliber of tenants decline, this is another example of what I'm referencing. A large number of tenants don't have the common decency to clean up after their pets. So the dog park is useless.

Needless to say, we are in the process of looking for a new home. Safety is of the utmost importance to us. Carrington at Park Lakes fails at this. Lee mas
