Not near. Spending a lot on uber to commute to school.

Pool
Great maintenance team
Very responsive

We love living here and being in Short Pump. Our only complaint really is having a fair amount of bugs in both units we've lived in on the property (which could be from living on the first floor). Leasing office is very friendly, it's a gated community needing keycard access, there's abundant parking, a nice gym and pool, a clean community, and right across from Short Pump Town Center.

The apartments are all recently remodeled and it is done well. Some have a designated office space which is helpful and the entire set up feels pretty spacious. The leasing office is annoying and hard to work with, but that seems pretty normal.

I've been living at Skyhouse for around half a year at this point. I have a great apartment with a downtown city view. The studio apartment is almost 600 sq. ft., so it's definitely enough space for a single person living here. Plenty of natural light from the floor to ceiling windows. Also, great amenities with a nice gym on the top floor as well as our rooftop pool and deck. Location is also excellent and around a 10-15 minute walk from the business school (depending on your walking speed).

Only downside is the elevator can sometimes take awhile during "rush hour"

Very nice apartment, great pool and gym, rooftop patio with downtown views, 10 minute drive from campus

It’s an amazing place, very safe. Very friendly and absolutely a pleasure to live in!

Overall the building is really nice. It’s only a 5 minute drive from campus. It’s a good alternative to living right in midtown. It’s very quiet and many of the apartments have amazing views of the city. The pool area is what really sets this apartment building apart.

It’s a great location and has everything I need, but it’s a bit small and a bit expensive for a 3 bedroom apartment

The floor plan is a little small and crowded, but the 24th floor has a great view. The gym, pool, concierge, valet, and business centers are absolutely incredible.

Skyhouse has great employees and there is 24 hour concierge. I feel very safe and the units and amenities are very nice.

I have lived in this apartment for over 3 years (renewed for a 4th). It is a great area for young professionals (about 90% of the neighborhood is made up of mid-20s year-olds in mid-rise buildings). There are plenty of trees, many people walk their dogs in the area, and it is relatively affordable given the location. It is a short walk (2 blocks away) to many bars and restaurants on Henderson (and Lower Greenville, depending on the weather), but is not too close that I have heard any loud noise from the bars. Depending on lights and traffic, it takes 5-15 minutes to get to SMU. The maintenance is great, the pool is the best I've seen in Dallas, and the finishings in the apartment are updated and modern. There is a CVS across the street, and three grocery stores within a 3 minute drive. Maintenance has been absolutely and consistently wonderful.

Small downsides: The area is only moderately safe after dark (I would not often go out alone in the middle of the night, but that's the case pretty much anywhere in the city). The leasing office is 50-50; some leasing agents are very responsive and attentive, while others need to constantly be reminded of actions needed on their end. An average of 1 elevator is usually broken, but there are three in the building.

I recently moved into this property and have been living here for about two months. In my time here, I've enjoyed it. The property is expensive but I was able to get a good deal since I moved during a non-high turnover season.

I did have issues when I moved in because I was given inconsistent information about the internet set up by the property and the different internet providers. That was very frustrating and I had to deal with the manager. The manager has since changed.
I also dislike that sound travels VERY easily. Because the units are wood floors and not carpeted, you can hear your neighbors upstairs.
Also, the building is currently having water pressure issues because the building next to it is under construction. Since there's a shared water pipe, it messes with the pressure in the apartment building. As a result, my ice maker and built in water dispenser do not work. The water pressure in the shower is also low.

There are many things I like about the unit. I like the maintenance. They are very nice and responsive. I needed my toilet fixed and shower head fixed and they came the next day. I also love the high ceilings (10 feet+ and some units are even higher) and the giant double door fridge. I also have an island with so much storage. I am in a studio but the spacious layout makes it feel not at all like a studio. The management is also okay with you putting holes in the walls as long as it's smaller than a quarter. So it is possible to decorate and make things homey.
I love the community amenities. The pool is laid out very nicely. There are lots of pool chairs and they are very comfortable. There are no umbrellas (which is a con) but due to the layout of the building, half the chairs are consistently shaded and the other half consistently sunny. There are also firepits and grills which are lovely. I also love the community events such as wine night (with great dinner) and brunch. The food is always delicious. The coworking spaces are also great. There's space on the first and fifth floor to do work or eat. People will often bring dinner into community spaces.

There is a gate controlled parking garage. There have been break ins reported. I appreciate that the community is transparent about these break ins when they do happen. It is only $25 a year for general gate controlled parking or $50 for a reserved spot. I have never had issues finding a general parking spot.

Overall, I enjoy the property. I can only live here because I got a good deal. It is definitely expensive, but it is worth it for the quality of life benefits.

I lived here for two years, choosing to stay mainly because of the location and community I built within the building (mainly from the dog park). Security is an issue within the garage and cars getting broken into, and with packages being stolen from the package room. They got cameras a few months ago but management is still lacking in open communication to residents about security ongoings.

It's close to campus. There's a gym on site, as well as a resident lounge and a really nice rooftop patio for when the weather is nice. You're on the river and it's very pet welcoming building. There's a fenced off-leash dog park about 5 minutes walk away. The dog park cost $80/year to join and is well maintained. Other dogs in the area are super friendly. There's a streetcar stop in front of the building and the L&C bus runs through the waterfront area.

My biggest gripes about the area are that Zupans is the closest grocery store and they charge double what other stores do for the same items. Also, very few of the restaurants in the area are open for dinner. Most things close before 7pm. It's also an expensive building, but the price reflects the safety of the area and amenities provided by the building.
