Alright, I toured this place some time ago and, after thinking over the reviews that Tracy Creek DOES have, wanted to share a more "real" look at what to expect here.
First, expect terrible internet service. You are only allowed to use one internet provider, and the company that owns Tracy Creek also owns that internet provider. Surprise, surprise, it has the worst reviews out of any provider in the area and most people state the internet will be done for 5-6 hours EACH day.
Second, expect poor maintenance. When we toured it had been two months since one of the buildings was hit by lightning and some part of the roof was burnt. When we visited, there was still just a tarp on that roof and the tarp was not secured properly to ensure no rain/water was leaking in to the property.
Third, expect to be treated very poorly once you sign your lease. When we walked in to tour, approximately ten minutes before 11:00 AM, another young woman had walked in at the same time. She was scheduled to move in at 11:00. The office manager told that woman to sit and wait until our tour was over. I though that was a little rude but shrugged it off at the time. HOWEVER, when I was touring a different apartment complex there was a different young woman touring at the same time as I was. She asked us where else we had been and we mentioned Tracy Creek. She said "Oh I didn't even bother touring there, I walked in and the office manager was being incredibly rude to a resident over the phone about something having to do with water damage." I would imagine that's probably typical behavior.
Fourth, and this one is just personal from me, we toured two apartments when we visited. Both were upstairs, with balconies. The wood on the both balconies was so covered with moss and just looked like it hadn't been taken care of in an absurdly long amount of time that I felt unsafe standing on it. I stepped out on to the first balcony but refused to on the second.
Now, I just want to talk about the area you're going to be living in at Tracy Creek. It is very quiet and isolated, big plus! It however is right next to multiple train tracks that are pretty frequently used, perhaps once a week or so? Expect train noise. Also expect horrible, awful, inconsiderate drivers on the road. Everyone speeds and tailgates, so if you're like me and get very anxious driving be aware of that as well. Since this last part is not specifically about Tracy Creek, I didn't factor it into my one-star rating. However, the other three huge issues, and one minor issue, with the property are definitely a reason to stay away.
