Woodlake Oaks Apartments

30 day review: I got a job in Houston & only had 2 1/2 weeks to relocate from DFW,I narrowed it down to 2 properties that were unknowingly both owned by the same company (Richland Properties). Doing the online application was fairly easy. *Note my application fee was $265 each (yikes) a little pricey.

The Tour: I then drive from DFW to tour the property & make my final decision. I visited this property (Woodlake Oaks) and was greeted by 2 friendly office staff (Liz & Lynette). You could tell... Lynette was a former real estate agent as she was very assuring & answered all my questions. The property itself is a little dated but is relatively clean . It has 2 Pools & small gym with free weights, 2 clean laundry facilities, & a mail room where (UPS/Amazon) can leave your packages in a secure pass-code system. . Lynette showed me my apartment. I was shockingly surprised....I was expecting the worse & it was not bad at all. The one bedroom is huge.It has a big living area w/a fire place....a nice bedroom with a huge closet & a private patio with a wooden gate. The bathroom was nice as it has a sink area & a separate door for the shower & toilet. The kitchen is nice as well...my only (zoink)is the the cabinets are all white and the counter tops are a speckled Oreo's & cream ice cream color.

However one little neat feature is this little french door that goes from the kitchen to the living room. A lot of carpet except for the dining room, kitchen & bathroom. This unit didn't come with a washer & dryer; Which is fine...because I still go to the laundry mat. So I signed my paperwork & told both Lynette & Liz that I would be ordering my furniture & having them delivered to the new address. They both assured me that would not be a problem.
Moving day: They kept their word and my things were brought inside the unit & was cleaned & ready for me. I was so relieved after a 4 hour drive & once I got everything settled this place felt like home. It's quiet....at night it is lit up like a resort. The staff is (still friendly) & accommodating. Lastly because I already paid 2 application fees to the same company...they applied that application fee to my account as a credit.
This area is really nice & feels safe. There is a park & tennis courts right next door & you are less than a 5 minute drive from all the stores. The rent is super affordable & everyone seems very nice. I would recommend it.

Ok so far I love the apartment. The rooms are spacious the closet sizes are hugeee!!! They even have 2 dogs parks if you have any pets. This my 2nd month staying here & it’s great staff service also

I've definitely lived in better places and much worse places. The property has nice trees and some wonderful tenets. My fireplace never worked, no matter how many times they promised they would get to it. I also did not want to pay for the amenities package and they made if mandatory. The cabinets are super tall and anytime they fix something, they are just patching it, not truly fixing the issue. Due to its relativity to trees and woods the bugs are inevitable. But overall its not bad,... if you are looking for something simple. Read More
