Weidner Apartment Homes

7 West is very well-managed, clean, and has a variety of great floor plans. Rent pricing is fair, but there are a lot of different utility bills that some other apartments might not require, like garbage and an "amenities fee". Parking is $200 a month for the underground garage and $150 for a ramp that is attached to the building. I have about a 10 minute commute to school. The area is similar in safety to the area around St. Thomas and they have security at night. Overall, it is a great place to live!

Really nice apartment units. A little expensive for what you get, but location is great! Perfect for dog owners, lots of residents have animals and there is a dog park on site. There have been some break ins in the garage but overall I feel pretty secure and safe. Management and maintenance do their best to respond promptly!

The apartment is really nice. There's a lot of nice amenities, like a roof and a very nice job. The 24/7 concierge is great and the building holds many events for residents. There's air conditioning and all the cabinets/shower/floors are in great condition. It's very easy to get to the Link and there's a lot of nice shops and restaurants around.

The only downside is how extortionately pricey it is. Utilities are not included, parking is $300, and you pay for your own Internet. You get what you pay for but it is a lot.

Not a bad place. Close to campus. Relatively cheap rent

Pretty good

Elevator broke often (apparently fixed now) and equipment in gym doesn’t always work. Great location and the people who work here are nice.

Best Location for What You Pay

Its been a few months since we've moved to Aspire Pinnacle Peak, and its been good so far. The rent is decent according to the apartment we live in. The apartment itself is spacious, proper accommodation and well maintained. Maintenance does a good job with the overall upkeep of the complex. The community here is educated and friendly.

It's right next to running path. Everything needed is within 10 minutes.

It's in old east Dallas, so it's still 20ish minute walk to West Village. It's a really great building and very cheap compared to everywhere else I looked. Once Covid restrictions loosen, it's a cheap and quick Uber to almost anywhere in Dallas. The leasing office is difficult to deal with, but I would definitely recommend this building to any SMU grad student. They also have a great dog area and very nice dog community in the building.

Perfect for what it is: A great budget apartment close to our school. Nothing fancy, but cheap and everything I needed as an OMS-I. Its only a 6-7 minute drive to campus, its literally right next to a canal (I'm a runner so that made access to the canal trails super convenient). In a quieter part of town which is nice, close to anything you might need -groceries, gas, food... I was real happy here but my expectations were just for a budget, functional place to live and study for the first year in Mesa. I never had any issues living here.

I'd recommend this to anyone who's priorities would be saving money rather than having a super nice apartment.

The apartment complex has 3 dog parks. It's so much more convenient than taking them outside on a leash. The fixtures and appliances in my apartment are nice. Everything is new/updated.

While expensive relative to other options, I highly recommend 7West for the following reasons:

1) ~100ft from the beginning of the West Bank tunnel system, which you can use to get to class while being inside

2) about 500ft from Carlson through the outside route

3) provides heated parking for $125 a spot

4) has the friendliest and most accommodating staff I’ve seen in renting for 10 years (they watered my plants every week while I was gone for three months)

5) has many room options from studio to two bedroom, including a one bedroom + den option

6) has great amenities, including a gym with free weights, plenty of cardio equipment, and a lot of empty floor space.

Call me at (217) 918-4356 before you tour and we can split the $1000 referral check, if you decide to move in!

7West is a great apartment building if it's in your budget. As far as the building itself goes, it is a standard newish apartment building that resembles a lot of others in the area. For me, it's great because of its close proximity to the law school, but also because living here has made it easy to make friends with fellow law students. Some of my best friends live in 7West and I don't think we would have grown so close by simply having classes together.

Pros: Clean and modern building, pet friendly (although not a lot of actual green space for dogs), responsive management, fun community events (like holiday celebrations), great indoor and outdoor lounge/study areas, a gym, close to the light rail and a handful of bars/restaurants/coffee shops.

Cons: Many of the floor plans are very small, and some are oddly shaped. The price per square footage is high. 7West also tends to "nickel and dime" you with fees. For example, add about $20 to your monthly rent budget because you will be charged for trash, water, and an "administrative fee". You will also be charged a non-refundable move-in fee (mine was $100) on top of your security deposit. These amounts aren't huge if you know to expect them, but they took me by surprise because I never encountered them with other apartments.

BIG TIP: 7West is constantly running discounted rent specials on their units. So don't go by the pricing on their website. Check out Craigslist and use the "map view" to look at all the available 7West units and inquire about the units listed there. You will save hundreds of dollars a month. Also, if you plan to renew your lease, take advantage of their lease renewal specials. I get two free months of rent per year, so my $1,325 monthly rent (when prorated across 12 months) is only actually $1,104/month. That's a pretty great deal for this building.

The staff are really kind and welcoming. The building and facilities are kept clean. The location is ideal for using public transportation and it is so close to the law school there is literally no commute time. There is no problem with thin walls and I feel that we have plenty of privacy.
