One of the worst things was that my car was broken into and my belongings were robbed and the front office could not offer aid because I didn't have the $10 insurance. I would not come back here, but I guess over all I had an alright experience with the property while living here. There are ocasional issues with the amenities but they're always fixed promptly, within the next day of the report. Everyone has their own bathroom which is great, you can really make the place your own. But also realize this is student housing, so it's basically like living at the dorms. There are a lot of rules, for example, you can't have an overnight guest for more than 3 nights in a row. I was not aware of this rule until I got in really big trouble for it and I almost had to pay a fee of almost $400. My suggestion is that if you still want to live here you chose roommates you know very well and trust beforehand, because otherwise you get random people and that's how issues come about. My roommate experience was not top notch at all. I would not live here again, but maybe this place works for some people depending on their needs. One thing I did like was that it's stress free in a way because you don't have to worry about setting up all your bills on your own as you would with an apartment. I was still really regretful about living here because there is no good security and cars are broken into all the time.

Had my car broken into once and my apartment broken into once! These apartments might seem like a great value but they are not. I lived at these apartments for a year until my lease was over. Appliances were cheap, the air condition barely kept the temperature satisfying, and they will randomly put anyone in your room without any notice. But most importantly the main manager Oralia is completely unprofessional and could care less about your issues regarding your apartment. She will treat you like you are just one of many tenants at the apartments. She will nickel an dime you while living there and once you move out for any reason she can think of. I still have a bill I received that I am trying to dispute for a some ridiculous cleaning cost and have still not heard back from Oralia. Thankfully there are finally other apartment complexes being built near the university which is why the lowered their prices so they cannot charge 450 dollars to live in a very low quality apartment anymore. Please I STRONGLY suggest looking elsewhere other than this place with the horrible manager named Oralia.

This is just a broad review. This place is great if you want a reasonable lease rate and a good walking distance from campus. The trade off is privacy and comfort. This place is drenched in false advertisement. The maintenance here does not do their job well and are not punctual at all. From the unit I received, the appliances and furniture were run down when I moved in. The rooms are dorm size for the price. The apartment was far from luxurious as marketing advocates. There is little privacy here as you can hear everything going on outside your room including your neighbors footsteps. You may also not like your roomates as they are randomly selected via a compatibility questionnaire. The leasing here is also ridiculous. This review is honest and partially biased but I recommend to look into these apartments some more than a review.
Its alright, need a little more maintenance. And lower rent rates. :)

Be very careful with this place. I lived there during June and July of last year. Today I got a call today from a collections agency stating I owe $114 from electricity. The electricity was included!
We were 3 residents, 114 by 3 is 342. So they are telling me that during those two months the additional bill of electricity for the appartment was $342.
The management was unfriendly and the place used to be always dirty. Trash in the parking lot, pool area, etc.
This is the type of company that is about getting the most possible money from their customers. Be very cateful!!
Now I have to defend myself from their predator practices.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!
New maintence guys didnt even bother to knock before just opening my door and coming into my room and all I could do was hide under the covers UNDRESSED as they took what seemed forever to install some boxes I didnt ask for or got a letter for. Didnt get a warning he jiggled the handle and proceeded to open with his key before I could even answer!!! These are two GROWN MEN coming into a girls room without warning!! This is NOT RIGHT!!

Please see Veranda Place for your new home away-from-home, because of the reason that the office staff is professional and personable. It is rare to find both together. Also, the accommodations are excellent. The space is exactly what you need for the practical and upbeat manner required for day-to-day living and school commitments. Where can you find a reasonable price monthly and the washer and dryer units steps away from your kitchen or bedroom?? This is a great perk and style of living that will suit the smart person. Join in at Veranda Place!!!!
Is an okay place to live in. APT need repairs. staff are pretty nice. It is very close to the utrgv college

I've had a good experience with the property while living here. There are ocasional issues with the amenities but they're always fixed promptly, within the next day of the report. Everyone has their own bathroom which is great, you can really make the place your own. But also realize this is student housing, so it's basically like living at the dorms just with a little more freedom. So of course there is no perfection in a place that is lived in by college kids for years. My only suggestion is that you chose roommates you know very well and trust beforehand, because otherwise you get random people and that's how issues come about.

Honestly any other place would be better to live in, they try to charge you for literally anything. The maintenance is horrible and they charge you more than 100$ for cleaning that they don't do when you move out, horrible experience and horrible staff.

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE. I GAVE IT A SHOT AND IGNORED THE OTHER NEGATIVE REVIEWS. I SHOULD'VE LISTENED. ROACHES IN MY ROOM IN MOVE IN. CAR WAS BROKEN INTO, WINDOWS SMASHED. LOBBY IS OUTDATED. COMMON AREA IS JUST DIRTY. STAFF (NOT THE THE MAINTENANCE MEN, THEY ARE VERY NICE) IS COMPLETE UTTER TRASH. THEY PRETEND TO HELP WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE, BUT THEY ARE JUST COMPLETE SNAKES. ESPECIALLY MR. JUAN CANO. DONT TRUST A WORD THAT COMES OUT THAT MAN'S MOUTH, SNAKE. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU WHATEVER DUMB EXTRA THEY WANT. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE.
Don't get caught in the web. They squeeze every dollar out of you. The apartments are not even that good. Do not waste your money here.
The staff was always friendly. I lived there for a year and the repairs were always prompt. I never had major issues with my unit.

This apartment management is very disorganized and corrupt, they cannot keep up of who turned in the key after they have left the complex after 9 months ago and they managed to charge you for it to the collection agency, every little broken thing including carpet charges which I have left clean, and I don't want to hear your apologies "management"! To every student or tenant that wants to stay here I would not recommend it especially to a military veteran. That is All! No! I don't want to speak to you for my concerns because you charge me for losing your keys even though I turned it in when I'm no longer staying there. I want a refund Now!

Is it common practice to eject a student by placing a letter on door on a Sunday (Father's Day) after the office is closed for failure to pay the $35.00 late fee? The student thought the fee would be added to the next month's rent!!! The letter states student must be out by the next day @ 3pm! Definitely looks like bullying to me. Absolutely what another person stated...A parent's worst nightmare! I will make sure this doesn't go unnoticed!

Expensive place to live in. The apartments are below average. Water pressure was low the whole year. THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK CORRECTLY ANYONE CAN WALK INTO YOUR ROOM AT ANY TIME. The staff loves to walkin to the apartment and leave flyers and stuff. They charge you a carpet cleaning fee at the end of your contract as well as bogus damages charges. I got charged for my door being dameged when it was not and they couldn't proove it either. Unless you're getting this place paid for by a third-party this place is well below average to pay out of pocket.

The place changes locks sometimes without warning. If a roommate moves out, the office may not notify the rest of tenants the front door will be changed - even the individuals frequently see management staff. This is not good if you go on vacation and find your place locked.
However, the place is clean and the police arrive quickly whenever parties go past hours or marijuana enters the ducts. No nice or roaches because friendly cats are free pest control.

To anyone who is seeing my review, I will simply list some basic issues with Veranda Place Apartments.
1.) The Management is known to be not so proactive in helping tenants in their issues that I'll list below soon and are known to try to squeeze out more money from their tenants. Either that or they are failing badly in service-wise. So be prepared and be cautious of their business practices. After all, this is a business that only cares about profit and money. Your money is what motivates their effort to keep you in their Apartment. They'll take advantage of young college kids, so yeah. Of course, they'll keep a smiley face and be nice and modest, like any other business, but bear in mind their intentions in reality is to maintain a profit from you.
2.) Their constant eagerness to get you to renew and ways to deceive or manipulate you. You'll notice them in their events. This will vary from things but this mostly applies to renewals. Of course, is a business that are willing to get your money, they'll try to get you with "sweet deals" or "promising deals". Though is obviously an irritating way of trying to get tenants to stay. A bombardment or like a spam, is more annoying if you have problems that they do not fix or put a hold on.
3.) The Service Requests, to put simply. If you don't speak up about issues in your apartment or room, then they'll end up getting more profit from inaction of tenants. They will also charge you for things that are at times ridiculous, this will vary. So long as you filled out the move-in service inspection form to prevent charges. Of course, the management is poor when it comes to repairing or updating their apartments for new tenants. With that said, pressure them to give you new things for your money worth. Note: Take pictures of any issues in your apartment.
Another Note: Compared to Management, the Service Maintenance folks are rather much nicer and funnier.
4.) Be aware of loud parties, theft, broken gates, loud car noises, and for some reason, firefighters. Theft is the main issue, mostly because management is not proactive in fixing their gates or establishing security cameras. So much for the "gated community", most of times the gates are just open due to them breaking frequently. As for loud parties, just find out the buildings or ask around for where the parties are frequent to avoid.
5.) The Veranda Place Apartment has potential and is livable, and is fair unless you are suffering or dealing with many unnecessary hassles, then it may not be the money worth. You can have pets, you can walk or use a bike to get to campus. Which is a decent distance, like 13-24 minute walk to reach the main campus and with a bike is like 6-11 minute. I'd suggest you room with friends or known people to avoid issues or disputes with random folks.
Note: I've asked other tenants, they mostly agree to some of the basic issues here.
Conclusion: Is a Modern Apartment Life, is good and nice, so long as they are up to date, which will most likely half of the Apartments needs updating or fixing. By the way, personal restrooms!
TIP: If four people are moving in, one can refer one person, that person can refer another person, etc.. until 3 of you receive a $200 for it. The last fourth person will not receive any but you all can split it evenly whenever you move in. So do not believe them (Workers) on some things when filing the forms to move-in. They'll deceive you!
Currently, my experience has been much of a nuisance, I will not specify what mine are, I'll handle it thru the proper channels with management. So do not bother replying to this review, Veranda Team. I'll be pestering you all soon, after all, I like this place.
So, with that said, I hope things get better for me and my roommates. Other than that, this review and the rating I have provided will remain as it is until further notice. Hopefully management can get their act together and start being proactive in servicing their tenants a bit more. Especially if they want to get new tenants or get tenants to stay in a competitive field.
I really like this place I visit since my sister lives here I love their pool her apt is nice.

One of my roommates lost personal documents (original social security card, birth certificate) veranda signed that they received the package, but somehow they got lost. And they lied about it that they never received the package and they blamed it on the carrier. They said that they were not responsible for it. She made a police report and 1 month later they magically appeared. As for me the walls of my room had stains and the apt was super dirty when I moved in. When I left they charged me to repaint the walls and clean the apt . They find anything to charge previous and current residents. While I was living there they were charging me for lights that they were never installed in my room. Those lights were installed in one of my roommates because I was there when the worker came to check on my room to installed the lights. And he installed them in another room because my room did not need lights. They were always charging for blinds but we never got new blinds . My car got broken into. I made a police report and they told me that they are always getting calls about cars getting broken into at verandas.

DO NOT MOVE IN HERE!!! My car was broken into within the first weekend of my move-in. Rent is ridiculous to that of the space that you have in your own room (Smaller than a dorm room). Maintenence took 3 weeks to respond to a request that was submitted multiple times and once the situation was "fixed", I realized that they gave me a faulty replacement(Dryer and oven). Multiple appliances broke down and i had over a dozen maintenence requests submitted. Had a roommate assault me and when I went to the office to discuss my options they suggested I move out instead evict the roommate. When you do decide to move out they will charge you a mandatory "move out fee" of $80. They will also charge you for a "carpet clean and scrub" fee, repaint of all walls and a general clean up fee that adds up to $274 on top of your last months rent.

Aside from a creepy roomate who always entered my room to turn off my TV to save money and the carpet, bedroom and others charges that were not necessary after move-out. I enjoyed the place. Good living conditions.

Outstanding apartments! Let's also not forget the affordable price to! The verandas place deserves above five stars I love the fact that we are able to room with 4 other people because I'm able to meet new people and get to know the area better. Above all great experience and let me not forget the pool in the front seals the deal! Highly recommend the verandas place! Great place to live and meet great people!

I agree with the comment below me about the stories from other apartments, I haven't lived anywhere but the verandas, but even as a newcomer, I feel safe here. My parents, whom are very strict and of course, protective, never have any complaints when they come visit me. They think the front office girls are so friendly and they are. The staff really has your best interest in mind. Yes, there are charges when they routinely come in and INSPECT for safety hazards such as fire extinguisher and the heater. But isn't that another perk? The place is kept very clean, even the pool. Every morning, I bump into at least one person working on grass, or running around fixing things. When I first started, they would take a couple days to come fix either a blown out lightbulb, or clogged tub, but lately they fix it the latest by the next day. The rates are cheap for everything they offer. Especially as a freshman that got her first apartment lease, since I didn't have to buy any of the furniture, and let's be honest, where the hell would I fit all that if I decide to leave? Its just a big convenience. The only problem would be messy roommates or upstairs neighbors being noisy. I'm very happy here, it's going to be my first year and I am thinking about leaving, but honestly the place has grown on me. If I do leave, it won't be because I'm disappointed with the Verandas. Good job!

They have a bug infestation. Beware of letting your mop dry on the patio that's a big no no apparently. It's like where else do you expect me to dry the mop. They charge you for every little thing. When you move out they find a reason to keep your security deposit and charge you if your room isn't up to their standards. It would be a huge mistake to lease here don't do it there are better places.
