Residents of Houston House Apartments rate maintenance (3.8) and management (3.2) highest and building quality (2.2) lowest.
Houston House offers affordable downtown living with spacious units and impressive views, supported by responsive maintenance staff and dedicated leasing agents. However, the property faces persistent challenges including a widespread roach infestation, inconsistent front-desk communication and appointment handling, aging building infrastructure, and security concerns in the parking garage. While some residents report positive experiences with staff and recent amenity upgrades, negative reviews consistently cite pest control failures, unresponsive leasing office operations, and maintenance issues that significantly impact quality of life.
Management responsiveness is inconsistent, with significant communication gaps reported by prospective and current residents. While some staff members receive praise for helpfulness and prompt maintenance responses, frequent complaints center on unanswered phones, delayed emails, missed appointments, and long processing times. Office availability and staffing levels appear to be ongoing challenges affecting both leasing and resident support.
Building Quality at this property is significantly compromised by persistent pest infestation, elevator and access door failures, and poor cleanliness in common areas. Residents report widespread roach problems throughout units and shared spaces despite regular pest control treatments, frequent elevator outages requiring stair use, and deteriorated conditions in parking garages, hallways, and laundry facilities. While maintenance staff respond promptly to requests and some amenities like views and gym facilities are noted positively, the aging infrastructure and systemic maintenance issues create an overall poor living environment.
