Las Brisas Apartments

Expensive, Cheaply made and trashy! Our one year lease is almost over and I am really doubting I’ll be renewing. Here’s why, inside the apartments all items are small and cheap. Nothing «luxurious» like Las Brisas claims to be. Our closet is so tiny with no room for him and her, keep in mind that we are renting a ²⁄₂. The kitchen appliances are outdated and the fridge is so loud all the time. There is no pantry in our apartment, only cabinets that are so high to reach up to. There is an alarm panel at the entrance of the apartment, but it doesn’t work. I called maintenance about this, and was advised that the one in my apartment is so old that all he could do was put glue to glue it back to keep it from wires sticking out. Whatever, at least it’s «fixed» lol. The layout is so inconvenient with doors closing and hitting each other. You walk outside and it’s MEH. parking sucks, first come first use, and when you get home late, you’ll be the one that parks ALL the way to the back in the dark where you can’t see your car. BUT you can purchase a garage for, I believe, another $ 100.00 added to the almost 2,000.00 rent not including utilities. I hate how there is no walkway through any of the layout inside the complex. You walk to the trash like ½ a mile depending where you get your apartment, mine is the one all the way up the hill. While you walk, be careful of oncoming cars speeding over the 10mph limit and in the dark, where most of the lighting in non existence. However, they do have a nice pool layout. There are two of them, one small, one at the main entrance. The entrance. the pavement is full of holes and bumps and small! I do like that the apartments are so close to a lot of things, like the H-​E-​B, the outlets, elementary school and IH35. Traffic will be a big time consumer so make time to even get out of the complex. Or go out the backpay with a click thing, for another 100.00 each. Everyone, however is nice and maintenance arrives same day. I’ve mentioned positive and negative and all of these are my personal experiences. Hope I’ve helped someone.

Not safe at all! Don’t move here. I have been living here for four months and I have to cancel my lease. After 5 o’clock there is no safety in the community. When the club house closes Outsiders go into the community pools and trash the pools with cans of beer and food thrown into the pool. I even witnessed two teenagers staring into my car and when I called them out they ran off. It makes me and my family feel unsafe where you have trashy drunk people walking around the neighborhood. It’s a Beautiful community with beautiful grounds, but don’t let that fool you. The area is no good and unsafe. They don’t have security patrolling late at night when the trashy people come into the place. I brought this to the community managers attention and the response was…“its not our job to keep you safe and it’s not on your lease” as for the gates when you punch in the code the cars behind you come into the community as well. After 5 I don’t even bother to walk around the community or use the pools. Too much trashy people with no class. Hint: that explains why they have alarms in every apartment and push button Alarm in every bedroom. I wish I would have listened to other reviews. As for the staff in the leasing office they are cold hearted and don’t care about you or your safety.

The apartments were decent, nothing too spectacular. The appliances were all low grade, the motor in the refrigerator constantly sounded as though it would go out at any given moment. All in all, my experience with my actual apartment was not too terrible I’d say. What earns the 1 star however, is the nightmare I’ve gone through trying to move out. I never was given a letter warning that I was approaching my 60 day window to write an official letter that stated I was not going to continue living there. Watch out for that! The month to month rate that you’ll have to pay, if you are even just a couple of days late with the notice, is a lot more than the number you’re told for the lease payments. Luckily, the roommate I had during that time had already put in the notice. After weeks of stressing over paying 2,000 more than I’d originally thought I would owe, I was relieved to hear that number would be back to the normal amount instead. So fast forward a bit, about a month and a half later. They finally finished everything for my final bill, and the number is higher yet again? Apparently, despite the fact that I never had a single animal of any sorts in my apartment, or even near the door of my apartment, I was charged for pet cleaning. My carpet was immaculate, I vacuumed it weekly at the very least, and had never spilled anything, ANYTHING at all on it, but I was also charged for stain and soil removal? Where I believe I should owe nothing above and beyond for my carpet cleaning, somehow I am left paying over 200 dollars instead? This place is shady, extremely shady about charges.
All in all, I’d steer very clear of this apartment complex, plenty of nicer options around the location anyways. This place will absolutely make it a nightmare when you are leaving, and they will certainly attempt to drain every bit of your money through every shady way they can dream up!

This place has great ammenities. Movie theatre, basketball court, business office, allthat being said…
This is the type of place that will nickel and dime you. We came to see the property when we were thinking of moving. Well they charge you per applicant, they charge you extra if you live on the 1^st floor, they charge you extra for this and that. annoying.
But what really lost it was the teeny tiny closet. You get one if you get the one bedroom and its inside the bathroom. and its a triangle. Its not a closet, its an afterthought. I think in the original design they forgot to build closets and decided to throw one in at the last minute.
I give them three stars b/​c most apartments in RR nickel and dime you. Not out of the ordinary if we are comparing apples to apples. If I could just get a bigger closet they would have had better ratings. I chose Melograno @ Teravista over them just b/​c of the double closets in the 1bedroom/​1 bath that they are now marketing as a 2 bedroom/​1 bath.

We have lived here to long!
So many changes in management and rules. Our over all experience has been so annoying. The looks of the property is well kept but don’t let that pull you in. If you expect to live in a quiet apartment make sure not to have an apartment above you as you may have a family of circus clowns or jungle monkeys. Also the walls are thin so you may hear neighbors having sex all hours day or night. We have complained a number of times and the manager reasoning is said that it is expected because she says that it is apartment living? REALLY??? We can’t wait for our lease to expire.

Life used to be a breeze at Las Brisas until Bassham took over. This company is money hungry and do not care about it’s tenants. I got evicted over $ 107 for storage fees that Katy advised me prior to my lease renewal in Aug 2012 would be included in my total rent and would be the same as the prior lease yet she did not update my lease to reflect this. And nobody cared that this happened, not one person stood up and vouched for me which is truly sad. I gave birth 2÷11÷2013 and the day I came home I was served with eviction papers. Went to court today and got evicted, the company with Krystal as it’s representative asked for every fee, concessions, attorneys fees and interest and the judge heard nothing that I said. Krystal even lied on the stand staying she was not aware of the Katy situation after I initially explained it to her first. IM hurt, disappointed and disgusted that I trusted these guys. If your someone new wanting to try out Las Brisas think it through thoroughly. They once we’re a great community now with new management they are a nightmare!

I moved to these apartments when I first moved here a few years ago. I now live in a house, but I wanted to write a review for the time I spent here. This place really cares about their tenants! If you look at the club house and landscaping thoughout the property, you can tell. We had a little problem with the unit we rented, and without hesitation, management moved us and helped pay for the moving expense. Our stay was very convenient, and the friendly staff made it pleasurable. The ammenities are great as well. They have a movie theatre, indoor basketball court, 2 pools and jacuzzis, workout room, and computer stations. They always have community events, to keep the community involved and always interacting together, such as Texas Hold em touranaments, pool parties, singles events, Movie night etc.
These guys are top notch! If I get devorced and had to live on my own again, this is where I would live… Shhhhhhhhhh. don’t tell her!

Beautiful grounds. I don’t live here but I’ve been in the club house. They seem to take a lot of pride in their appearance.
