Us Bayou Park Apartments

I moved to Houston in 2018 and have lived in three different apartments and a townhome since being here, and as far as apartments go, this one was the best one I lived in. My husband and I just recently moved out because we bought a townhome, but we enjoyed living in here. We had one of the larger one-bedroom units off of Columbus St. We loved how spacious it was, and we never really dealt with any street noise or noisy neighbors. Maintenance was always pretty quick to fix things. The gym is... nice as well. The complex changed management companies a few times during our three years there, but each change seemed to be an improvement, with the most recent and current management company being the best of the ones we experienced. The location is truly ideal with its proximity to the Bayou, downtown, Montrose, River Oaks, and the Heights. We'll miss being able to walk to our favorite coffee shops. Overall, I would recommend it to others. Had we not bought our townhome, we likely would have signed for another year. Read More

Staff is nice and love walking to Bayou trails. Overall experience has been great.

just renewed with the new management. Really nice to have management care about us and the overall appearance. This place has had some really bad managers in the past. Relief to have them care again.

This has been the worst rental experience I've had in 20 years. I have regretted moving here since day one:
1. Incredibly dirty, trash goes weeks without being cleaned up from the halls, garage and grounds.
2. Unimaginably noisy. Cement, dungeon like hallways echo everything, even the giant maintenance cart thundering down the hallways daily, heavy metal doors to/from garage and stairs slam louder than prison cells day and night! You can hear everything your neighbors are doing as you walk down... the halls.
3. Constantly barking dogs.
4. All sorts of bugs. The interior extermination is an inadequate joke. They come and spray a couple corners, leave disgusting glue true traps in the cabinets and are in/out in 5 mins.
5. High energy bills! The windows and doors are old, poorly sealed and if you get the western sun at this place, you will pay dearly for it. This bill is 3x what my old bill was for the same sq ft apartment. Heat constantly radiates from the refrigerator so that you can feel it on your feet/legs from 3 feet way! At move in, I could slide my entire hand under the front door until I complained and had the maintenance teem properly secure seal and reset the misaligned door in the frame.
6.Very poorly maintained premises. Gates, fobs readers, and doors are unsecured with broken latches or inoperable. Some have been this way for at least a year.
7. Thefts from the package room, which is a poorly organized chaotic mess.
8. The stairs and trash chute areas are gross and sometimes the lock the chute without explanation. Trash and discarded belongings are a persistent eye sore.
9. The stairs are NEVER EVER cleaned and are filthier than a gutter on Bourbon Street. I mean FILTHY!!
10. The ceiling fans are ridiculously inadequate. They ONLY operate on 1-low/slow speed. Totally useless having them. I had them replace one with a new one and it was exactly the same!!
If I continue with this list, I'll get nothing else done today, so buyer beware!

On a happy note, I have exactly 58 days of torment left and then I am forever free of this horrible place. I ever turned my notice in EARLIER than required! HA! Bye, Felicia! Good riddance! Free at last, free at last!!!! Read More

I couldn't be happier to find my new home after moving across the country.
