"I wanted to like this place. Such great views, unique floor plans and nice amenities however, the building was long overdue for significant repairs that were ignored which came into light even more during the Derecho and hurricane Beryl. Storm took out electricity and water for nearly a week. Water flooded my closet, bathroom, and Master. I still haven’t been able to use my closet due to the damage. It took management over a month to arrange a contractor to demo my molded walls and they even left a large hole between my neighbors unit and mine with a clear view of my bathroom. Talk about a serious invasion of privacy! I pay close to $2100/month for an 1100 sqft unit to have to deal with this and not receive a single credit to my rent because in their eyes, it’s “live-able”.
Even before the storm, water leaked into my closet 4 times during my stay here. German roaches are prevalent despite pest control treatments. Dog poop litters the garage. Elevators are frequently out of order. I will say that the current management team has improved communication (to an extent) than the previous team however, there are just too many issues for them to handle which is significantly affecting service quality. A bandage to the issue will not solve the problems this building has. Irma and a few of the other maintenance folks were excellent. Great location and views but the experience has left a sour taste. If you are considering moving here, make sure you do your due-diligence and walk the property to see if some of these issues continue to persist. Find out if the roof indeed was replaced."
"DO NOT MOVE HERE
UPDATE January 2025
It's now 6 months since the hurricane and the apartment's are not restored yet.
There's been no updates since October.
There's been not one dime of rent discount to anyone.
We all just sit here in our busted apartments paying full rent.
I'm not sure if it's due to Greystar management or the broke owners but something is seriously wrong here
Once again -- DO NOT MOVE HERE.
--------------------------------------------------"
"DO NOT MOVE HERE!
This place has gotten way worse with Graystar. Elevators have been broken for so long and there is no update. This place is infested with cockroaches as well. Management is so slow to respond.
Water and power constantly go out. Groceries went bad, flooding is constant, and people leaving dog poop all over the place.
Do not move here.
Update to the gaslighting below
Elevators took over 6 months to repair with no concessions offered, when paying for a premium parking spot. In spite of that the main elevator doesn’t even stop at the first floor. Their excuse will be it’s coming from Europe.
You are a billion dollar company waiting for insurance payment. Tenants are not being offered concessions when the entire place looks like a dump. A billion dollar company delaying repairs for 6 months.
Rather than arguing on a Google review, you should be doing everything to make this place more habitable. I cannot bring family or friends to this place because it looks like a dump.
Apparently adding new grills and fixing the hot tubs is more important than fixing the areas where people actually live.
This place does not care about their tenants. They only care about money and getting people in.
I am sure ABC news will be doing a story on this complex soon."
"Avoid this place at all cost. Management is poor/unresponsive, amenities are always broken, and the place is infested with bugs. This place has gone down hill after Hurricane Beryl, please do not fall for their tricks as the only thing they care about is making money, not you living here.
There’s been no compensation offered nor have they allowed me to end my lease early. Due to poor planning, management decided to tear down most the walls in the complex knowing that it will take months to rebuild. This includes one of the walls in my bedroom. To this day I have been living with no wall for more than 7 months. This has caused frustration, anger, and sleepless nights, as I can hear everything that goes on in the hall way. Not only this, but the second hand embarrassment I get when bringing friends over and them seeing a plastic tarp covering my walls is just embarrassing, especially for what I am paying for.
If you move here, management will not work with you! They will will not have sympathy for you, they will do nothing to help your situation, just because "you are in a contract". This is their excuse every single time. I have tried speaking to Mykayla about leaving the apartment one and a half months early and this was the response I get.... She told me she would reach out to the regional team and get back to me but it's been weeks..
Good job Bayou on the Bend:)"
"DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!
From my move until a month later, this place has been a NIGHTMARE! Upon move-in, my apartment was in terrible shape: carpets not glued to the floor, drawers falling apart, and the dishwasher not working. My AC broke within barely a month, forcing me to get a hotel and sleep elsewhere because, after a long day, I came back to an apartment that was 85 degrees. I documented everything on the inventory form. It took them over two weeks to fix the carpet despite my constant nagging. Afterward, Makayla accused me of making up that the carpet wasn’t fixed. There is constant dog poop on the floor everywhere! My neighbor’s door looks like someone tried to break in. The elevators are always breaking. The entry gate is open half the time, providing zero security, which explains why almost EVERYONE has a Ring camera. I’ve lived in Houston at different properties and I can safely say this is the WORST PROPERTY I’ve ever lived at. As some people have mentioned, yes, the view is pretty, but that’s about it."
