The application and signing the lease process was literally a nightmare but Becca was super nice helpful the entire way and I’m pretty pumped to see how the rest of this year goes!

The garage gate does not work, mail room fob does not work (the door is always locked), front gate fob does not work (it is always open and anyone can come in)

It is important to us that everything in our community is working properly to provide a great living experience for our residents. We will have our team address the garage gate, mailroom key fob, and front gate. If there is anything else you notice... that needs our attention, please let us know by emailing our team at cm@therailatx.com.

I really enjoy living here overall. The amenities are great and make the community comfortable, but the neighbors could use a bit of improvement. Unfortunately, there are some issues with sticky fingers, and not everyone is picking up after their dogs, which is frustrating. On a positive note, Becca has been amazing—she’s incredibly compassionate, understanding, and always responds quickly, which I really appreciate. Personally, I haven’t had many problems aside from the occasional stolen... package or missing meal, but nothing too major. Overall, it’s been a good experience!

I love living here. The amenities are great: the pool, bbq grills, weight room, Amazon lockers and even a parking garage (for an extra fee). Staff is kind. Convenient location. I wish I found this place years ago!
