I can tell you one thing...it's noisy, noisy, noisy! Yes, we all realize that it's an apartment complex and noise is expected...but NOT this kind of noise! I've read other reviewers and suddenly, the lack of response from ALL levels of management at Gables property management is apparent!
I've never lived in any complex (5 in the Houston area in past 12 years) that is as poorly constructed as this dump is. ""Dump"" is not at all what you SEE when you come here...everything is well maintained, complex is newer, and the grounds, units, ect all seem quite nice...Oh, but this is a case where looks are VERY deceiving! The first year we lived here, there were the occasional noises, but nothing we complained about and nothing that kept us up at night. Then, we actually got a neighbor. I can hear his singing, conversations, snoring, and the occasional louder bathroom usages--I can hear all this in my bedroom! I have 2 noise makers on full-blast any time I'm trying to sleep and I still have issues sleeping.
My neighbor is one of those people that has to have a TV/Radio on at all times of the night or day, so there's always the constant thump of base that can be heard no matter how loud the white noise machines are...they can drown out most of the coherent noise, but not the deep base. In any case, management told me I just had to deal with it, or pay the early lease term penalty, or pay to be moved to another unit within the complex--the cheapest of all of these options was about $2850 and that doesn't include any costs I might incur should I hire some guys to help me move.
Bottom line...Gables cut serious costs and residents pay the consequences! They now cannot afford to care! Do NOT move into Gables at Memorial Hills--You pay rent according to how the property ""looks"" and location...it's absolutely not worth it!
