"If you see the sign for these apartments, do yourself a favor and press harder on your gas pedal. The management there is trash. The apartments look decent on the outside, but on the inside it seems as if they were thrown together. Maintenance is nonexistent. I was briefly living there with a friend and literally had to do all the maintenance work in our apartment myself. The pool is almost never open and most of the time it is green and looks like a swamp. I was even tempted to go fishing in it to see if I would luck up on a bass or something, but course, as was the case even during the rare times it was actually blue, the gate was locked.
Also I am convinced that Glenwood Apartments is the training grounds for all the up-and-coming car thieves in Houston. Having your car broken into and/or stolen is this part of life over there. I spent $600 on Window replacements within the first four months of living there. It is sad that tenants have to wake up in the morning and hope that their car hasn’t been broken into or stolen. Literally all our neighbors would wake up and see each other because everyone was out checking their cars. Management knows that there are no working cameras there and obviously all the thieves on this side of town know this as well. Neither of the gates work so there is 24 hour access for residence and thieves. Also, the parking lot is very dark.
Management in those apartments is a revolving door so there is a very real possibility that when you sign your lease that midway through it there will be new management who will in all likelihood not have a copy of your lease and begin to make up numbers when it comes to your monthly rent.
The apartments are infested with bats who live in the chimneys and there is also a major pest control issue.
The new manager, Cirina, comes off extremely nice when she gives apartment tours, but don’t let that fool you. She is very rude and dismissive when it comes to tenants. Previous management was worse, but the current management isn’t much better.
With that being said, the price there isn’t bad but I guess you get what you pay for. I wish they had a way to rate this apartment complex with a negative 5 stars, because I think I am doing them a favor by giving them one star."
