Lived here for about four years and overall this place is a hit or miss. Some staff are very nice and helpful, others are not at all. For the most part the maintenance is fast, but there were also some things in my unit that literally never got fixed. The electric was reliable even during the freeze but they have to shut off the water for repairs about once a month. Didn't flood during Imelda and close to everything. It used to be quieter at night and the police seem to be showing up more often now, but generally it seems safe.

Nice apartments, great location and beautiful insides. They have a different food truck that comes out every week. Who wouldn't enjoy that? The Pool is one of the best designs you'll ever see in an apartment complex.Its right in the middle of Houston tx, you can get anywhere within 20 minutes and you could pass it up if your not paying attention. Its 2 dog parks here which are clean all the time and a friendly dog community. Parking is not the worst but could be a lot better if they got rid of the parking sheds. I mean you have the option to pay for one and a garage for a few bucks more but I think it would make it easier for residents to park removing them or permit parking, give or take you still have the option of paying for a garage. Grass is cut almost every other day which keeps the place nice and clean but if you work at night and trying to get some rest in the morning, it will be annoying but they do move pretty fast. Now the only reason this place is not 5stars is because of the lady in the front office. She is the face of rude and the answer for being judgmental. The apartments sell themselves so anyone could be there, I just rather a smile and a genuine have a good day instead of the disrespect. Her name starts with T. She is not in charge but everyone in there seems to follow her lead. But other than that headache these apartments is a great place to call home. If you're thinking about moving here, just ask to speak with someone else, you will thank me in the long run.

Well the community is nice. The houses too are nice. There is a delay in the service requests, and I hope they resolve it. It's been a few days here, and although I did have an adverse experience initially, they partly resolved it. The commute to med center is easy. Well so overall my expression is a 3 out of 5. I hope my rest of the time goes well here.

Apartment shopping the past few months has been wildly stressful. Meeting Tamika was divine intervention. Her patience, care, and humor transformed a hellish experience into a pleasant one. I look forward to referring friends and family to Stella at The Medical Center in the future!

What a wonderful place to live. I have seen some negative reviews, and I understand their frustrations, but I think it is important to remember that nowhere is perfect, because people aren't perfect. I get the feeling that the staff here truly care about the happiness of the residents, and my interactions with everyone from maintenance to the front office staff has been wonderful. I could go on for ages about details, but no one has time for that, so here is the good old pros and cons list. Pros: The staff are kind, friendly, and responsive to requests/concerns The greenest complex in the area (the trees are stunning) Beautiful pool and deck area TWO DOG PARKS! (and one of them is huge!) Professional dog grooming station High ceilings Large windows Wide window ledges for plants :) Lots of great storage so you need less furniture No size or breed restrictions on dogs The complex has drinks and games by the pool sometimes Food trucks on Tuesdays A Bark Box for pet of the month winner! We formed an awesome dog park group that meets for happy hour most evenings and the beautiful big park, so if you move here, come join us! Cons: There are very few cons so far, and they are unfortunately due to other people, not Stella staff. Someone keeps dumping food at the dog park (management has sent out emails, but that has not helped). Please look around before letting your pup run free at the park, as mine has sadly eaten some dangerous foods due to this situation. Gates at the park have to be closed manually (not self-locking latch like at dog parks), and many residents seem to think that the dog park is a good shortcut and do not close gates as they walk through (often while dogs are actually in the park). Keep a close eye on all three gates while playing so your dog doesn't run off. The nice dog wash station is constantly clogged, and now the hose is duct taped on. It would be great if they could add that to a general maintenance list and make sure it is cleaned and checked weekly, as it is a great amenity, and keeps people's showers and tubs from getting clogged with pet hair. The parks do get a bit dusty (or muddy in rainy season), but management has already mentioned that they will be starting a project to fix up the big park soon, and we are all very excited! Be advised that if you are even a moderately light sleeper, you should opt for an apartment away from the large garage next door. People seem to basically have car parties up there on the weekends, (honking horns, yelling, blasting music, etc.) and at least once a night someone's car alarm goes off, and this has proven to be very difficult to sleep through even with earplugs. All that being said, I have been to many apartments in the area, and spoken to other residents, and they all seem to love our place! These apartments are quite spacious in comparison to others. Ultimately what makes any complex worth living in is good management, and I have heard many complaints about a few other complexes. I feel like they listen and work with us here, and they genuinely seem to care, which makes all the difference. Over all, we love it here, and plan on staying for many years to come. PS. The area is gorgeous and so close to Herman Park! I will add pictures soon!
