The Oaks at Lake Jackson

Don’t let the pictures fool you. The apartment they show you is NOT the one you will get. Since living here we have been in several units, ours and several neighbors. None of them are the same and they all are terrible. If you are desperate (we were) it will do until you are back on your feet. I’m not complaining just to complain. PLEASE be sure you see your actual unit before you sign.

We lived here for 4 years, during which management/ownership changed at least once. We moved out at the end of August. The current "management" is trying to bill us over $350, claiming that we painted the counters in the kitchen. We never painted the counters in the kitchen. "Management" says we didn't state on the move-in checklist that the counters were painted. Why on earth would we have notated this? Moving in as brand new tenants, how could we have possibly known that they weren't supposed… to be painted, in order to make a special notation of it? I find it absolutely outrageous that they want to bill us for shortcomings of previous management (since they were obviously renting out apartments that weren't up to whatever standard was supposedly in place). Four years we rented here, just to be dealing with this nonsense now. Avoid this place at all costs, it just isn't worth it. If you do decide to rent here (which you shouldn't), take lots of photos and video of the apartment as soon as you get the keys. (But again, you should really just avoid this place completely. I sure wish we had.) They won't deal with drug dealers trespassing on the property at night, they won't do any maintenance unless it's to the exterior of the buildings, they ignore the policies listed on the site. Save yourself the headache. Read More

Yes, it is an older apartment complex, but has had a lot of updating. I can say that the staff are very friendly although they have a job to do & stay on top of things. Haylee is great! Booker is the nicest person & always ready to help a tenant out with repairs. I love the location & the peaceful setting & quiet neighborhood. The workout area is small but, kept clean & usually pretty much to yourself. I really enjoy living here. My only issues are....
1. the pool temperature being so warm… that it is not enjoyable. A fountain would cool that water off nicely! Also,too warm of water is a bacterial haven.
2. All tenants should be required to have monthly pest control.
3. We have been trained in Tallahassee to Recycle. It is the right thing to do for preserving our land. But they only have a dumpster ( that compacts trash) A Recycle bin should be in place.
Also, a lot of kids are bringing the trash to the dumpster but cannot reach the door (for safety) so a dumpster for handicapped & children would be nice . Read More

There are several negative reviews on here, but I never had an issue. Any time I had a problem with the apartment, Hanna was quick to resolve it. The office staff and the maintenance men are very helpful and they keep you informed of what is going on in the "neighborhood". Yes, the apartments are older and there will be problems here and there, but you cannot discredit the employees that work there. They try to correct any issue as fast as they can. This complex is also ideal for families… with smaller children. There are a lot of children at this complex. During the summer the pool is always full and you will see kids riding around the parking lots on their bikes. Read More
