Gables Residential

I'm the youngest person in my complex and the only person in school I think. lots of 30-somethings either living by themselves or DINKs. I have never seen a child here.

Definitely overpaying but no real complaints. Be careful with unit selection as there is a train on the backside of the building. Great pool, good gym, amazing location. Some amenity issues with the building being old but work orders are completed very quickly.

Constant rent increases and over charging fixes

I recommend AGAINST living here. I lived in this building for over 3 years where I was the ideal tenant. When moving out I was unable to be present for the inspection but had notified them via work order of a 9 sq ft area of damage to the flooring. They took this as an excuse to replace the laminate wood flooring in the rest of the 880 sq ft apartment and charge $2500 for new flooring. This laminate flooring can be found for under 2 sq foot and would have cost less than $30 in materials + labor to replace. In addition, you can also expect 10-20% "market rate" rent increases every year. You have to constantly negotiate with a powerless, unhelpful front office as they try to sell you on a smaller apartment at the same price. Gables Pointe 14 is not a pleasurable place to live and I would recommend a number of newer local apartments in the area that you can find at a similar cost.

Love the Park Tower

Rendell is amazing, very well run apartment and all staff are super friendly. Had one prolonged plumbing issue and he stepped in and got it fixed immediately. Great amenities, other residents are friendly, and right by lady bird lake trail if you enjoy running!

I love my apartment and the area, but the main property manager could definitely be more helpful and friendly. Expensive but worth it for the area

Very nice, large, reasonably priced, close to campus

Location is the only real benefit to living here. The Asst. Manager is a Type-A personality who comes off as argumentative all the time. Cross her and she is vindictive. Heaven forbid that you get notified that a package was delivered and you have to ask her to retrieve it! She won't look carefully, and will then tell you that the carrier is the problem. You're left feeling helpless even though you know the package is in the office. You will pay high rent and they don't think package service is their responsibility. The other office girls are great; however, you will NEVER see the actual property manager, as that stealthy figure hides away in a secure bunker. Maintenance doesn’t clean the hallway or stairwells. Human feces are still stuck to the wall in stairwell 12, first floor landing, even though I complained about it in person and emailed them. Be prepared to step over and around vomit, human and dog urine, and feces as they are a common obstacle of the hallways and stairs. Noise from Mockingbird Station and the roadway is loud. Neighbors are inconsiderate and will sit on your car in the parking garage. Reserved parking means nothing as towing is left to you to enforce yourself. I lived there for over six years and it just got worse. Renters beware!

Apartment complex is not the cleanest on the outside but are great on the inside of the rental. For a student at SMU this place is perfect. It is on the low end of rent but still has great amenities for what one is looking for. Provides a pool and workout space. Most importantly it is walking distance to SMU campus. Katy Trail runs next to it and perfect location to lower greenville, downtown and a few college bars/strip up the street withen walking distance. Pretty quiet place as far as tennants go.

Accessibility is great.

The apartment complex is safe and well-run. The management is very responsive and kind. However, it is relatively far from campus and the bar scene is non-existent. The gym and pool are tiny, with the gym in particular being lacking. If you don't care about the amenities, drive, and don't go out that much it's ideal. Great for dog owners as there is a park with a walking track directly attached to the complex. Overall recommend for those not as social/alcohol oriented.

train is very loud so be careful of unit selection. has good bones (decent gym and pool) but is old - my AC broke week 1 and my hot water pipe burst randomly in month 3.

Old and quite apartment, located closed to all convenient stores. easy access to all highways and critical areas, but slow recovery on disasters.

Quiet apartment complex with only 3 floors and less than 200 units. A bit expensive but in a great location close to lower Greenville. Gym gets the job done. The property, including the pool, is well maintained.

Great location, everything else is decent. It is older but honestly a great bang for your buck.
