The honest read

Long-term residents praise responsive maintenance, dedicated staff (particularly Jane and Danielle), and secure facilities that feel like home. However, newer or shorter-stay residents report serious recurring issues: cockroach and gnat infestations, aggressive deposit deductions, hidden service fees, thin walls, and management coldness during the leasing process or when handling complaints.

The split suggests two markedly different experiences. Pet owners and those near dumpsters face particular struggles. Several reviewers noted management became unfriendly after move-in, especially regarding pest reimbursement and service requests. Five five-star loyalty from long stayers contrasts sharply with one-star warnings about pest control neglect and deposit practices.

Praised for
  • responsive and professional maintenance
  • attentive management (Jane, Danielle)
  • safe community with security
  • quality amenities and common areas
  • pet-friendly environment
Watch-outs
  • persistent pest problems (cockroaches, gnats)
  • high deposit deductions and unclear refund practices
  • rude and unwelcoming management during tours and interactions
  • excessive hidden fees added to bills
  • poor insulation, noise from neighbors and external sources
responsive-managementpoor-communicationclean-facilitiespest-problemsfriendly-staffrude-stafffast-maintenancehidden-feesnoise-issues
Best for: Long-term renters without pest sensitivities seeking managed, secure apartments with good amenities.
Think twice if: Pest control has been inconsistent; deposit deductions are steep and sometimes disputed. New residents and those in units facing dumpsters or nurseries report worse outcomes than long-stayers.

What this place gets right

  • Responsive maintenance and security for long-term residents
  • Dedicated leasing and management team
  • Secure parking garage and resort-style amenities
  • Pet-friendly policy and community focus

Worth knowing

  • Management: Jane (property manager) and Danielle (assistant) named repeatedly in positive reviews; both credited with responsiveness and care
  • Maintenance staff described as prompt and professional; work orders filled quickly
  • Pest issues concentrated in certain units (especially 224, 124, 222, 324 facing plant nursery and dumpsters); gnat infestations cause seasonal problems
  • Parking garage with covered spots praised for vehicle protection
  • Deposit deductions include alleged pest damage, cleanliness charges; at least two residents reported $700+ deductions disputed
  • Hidden fees added to bills: valet trash ($25/month mentioned), utilities, admin fees, pest control, drainage, service fees; tenants report charges for services not rendered (e.g., trash collection that never happened)
  • Noise issues: thin walls, neighbors' conversations audible, trash truck at 4:30-6:30 am, Tesla facility protests across street
  • Clubroom noted as clean and well-maintained

Reviews by category

Furnished & Corporate Housing
No specific furnished-corporate service mentioned in reviews; corporate amenities (gym, workspace, controlled environment) appreciated by long-stayers but not explicitly distinguished from regular apartment benefits.
Pet-Friendly Communities
Praised as genuinely pet-friendly for residents who stay long-term; one reviewer strongly warns against renting if you have pets or service animals due to management hostility and lack of respect.
Apartment Building
Clean common areas and clubroom for long-residents; newer/short-term residents report dirty hallways, parking garage, and inadequate maintenance despite frequent power-washing claims.
Apartment Complex
Secure, amenity-rich complex praised by long-stayers; significant pest, noise, and fee issues deter shorter-stay and newer residents.
Apartment Rental Agency
Leasing experience poor: management described as rude, unprofessional, and unwelcoming during tours; staff dismissive of questions and complaints after move-in.

Quick answers

Does Urban North offer covered parking?
Yes. The secure parking garage protects vehicles from Texas heat and weather, which several long-term residents highlighted as a major amenity.
What are the upfront and monthly costs?
Their website advertises one month free on 13-month leases (split between first two months). Rent varies by unit (examples: $1250–$1391/month in some units). Be aware that multiple fees are added monthly (valet trash at $25, utilities, admin, pest control, water, drainage, gas). Review your bill carefully before signing.
What pest problems have been reported?
Cockroaches and gnats are recurring issues, especially in units facing the plant nursery and dumpsters (units 124, 222, 224, 324). Residents have had to buy and apply their own pest treatments. Management reimbursement has been inconsistent.

Summer Grove

4.3(129)✓ Google-verified

Most residents find Summer Grove a comfortable, well-managed community with genuinely helpful staff like Tania and Daniel. The location near shopping and highways works well, and many tenants praise the quiet, charming grounds and quick maintenance responses. However, a vocal minority reports serious frustrations: aging 1986-era units, unexplained fee increases, roach infestations in some units, a cramped gym, and delayed repairs. One recent tenant disputes fee transparency and claims they were threatened with eviction without explanation, raising concerns about lease terms clarity and accountability.

The Flats on San Felipe

3.5(143)✓ Google-verified

Long-term residents praise the location, amenities, and friendly staff-particularly Gloria-but newer tenants report a sharp divide. Management treats the same community very differently depending on lease status and payment history. Several reviewers faced unreturned emails, rude office behavior, mounting maintenance problems (clogged toilets returning within days, broken doorknobs, laundry machines perpetually out of service), and vehicle theft. The biggest recurring pain point: staff ignore noise complaints and lease violations from other units, while billing and contract disputes escalate into eviction threats rather than solutions.
