Market Square Tower Apartments

I regret moving here. The management is unresponsive and extremely rude whenever you bring up issues. The elevators are constantly out of service, and for the rent we pay, it feels like a complete rip-off. Definitely not worth the price.

I had a very disappointing experience at Market Square Tower. The management is unresponsive, and maintenance requests take forever to be addressed. For such a high-priced place, you’d expect better service, but it feels like they only care about collecting rent. Noise levels are also terrible — you can hear everything from your neighbors. Definitely not worth the hype or the cost.

The rent here is insanely high, but the quality doesn’t match the cost. The amenities are overhyped and often overcrowded. You’re basically paying for the name, not the experience.

Since our move in early 2020, MST has devolved from a vibrant, secure community into a disappointment masquerading as luxury living. What was once a haven of fun and safety has become a playground for petty criminals, with car break-ins now a regular occurrence.

The management's solution? Implement a labyrinth of infantilizing rules. Forget about late-night swims or stargazing by the pool, apparently, we're all children with a 10 PM bedtime. Want to hit the gym after hours? Prepare for your... personal security escort, because heaven forbid a paying resident use an amenity unsupervised.

The nickel-and-diming is relentless. The theatre room, once a seldom used but casual hangout spot, now comes with a $150 price tag. Brace yourself for an onslaught of arbitrary fees – trash, water, and who knows what they'll dream up next. It's as if they're determined to squeeze every last cent from our wallets while the building crumbles around us.

Speaking of which, enjoy your surprise cold showers courtesy of the increasingly frequent water leaks. Nothing says luxury like unpredictable basic utilities, right?

The Fourth of July "celebration" was a sad reflection of MST's decline. In a misguided attempt to create exclusivity, they managed to throw the most depressing pool party in history. Nothing says "Independence Day" quite like an empty pool and a DJ who apparently fears sunlight.

Maintenance? What maintenance? The gym looks like it's been through a war, doorknobs remain broken for years, and the wallpaper in the building is peeling faster than residents' patience. Essential amenities like the sauna, steam room, and golf simulator were out of commission for months on end, all while we continued to pay premium rates for phantom services.

The saving grace? The ground-level staff. Concierge, valet, and others, who soldier on admirably despite upper management's best efforts to run this place into the ground.

In short, unless you enjoy paying exorbitant fees for deteriorating amenities and the privilege of being treated like a delinquent teenager, I'd advise you to look elsewhere. MST has become a masterclass in how to alienate residents and destroy a once-thriving community. Read More

I have lived in many different high rise towers in downtown Houston and Market Square Tower is by far the most luxurious. I love the big windows, the high ceilings, and the modern appliances in each apartment. Its location is great too with an easy commute to my office downtown.
