Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by HOUSTON GROUP, LLC reflect a divided tenant experience. While some residents appreciate the responsive management and decent amenities, numerous complaints center around cleanliness, pest issues, and frequent rent increases. Concerns about maintenance responsiveness are prominent, with several tenants feeling neglected, particularly in pest control and heating services. Package theft seems prevalent, and issues related to building hygiene and overall condition persist. Despite the positives like location and some friendly neighbors, potential renters should approach with caution, as many reviews caution against reliance on management's promises.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

DO NOT LIVE HERE, management company is a scam, doesn't exist

Pros

Decent location. Water gets hot. Outskirts of LES/EV. Washer/Drier in unit instead of dishwasher was nice perk.

Cons

They raise the rent like crazy each year (20% increases), don't fix stuff when it's broken, are late to dealing with bugs/insects (we dealt with them ourselves). Young building (lot of students/loud). Insanely hot in winter (you'll need to keep AC ON). I have videos of roaches in hallways and apartment. Caught 2 mice. Stolen packages. There was a fire in our basement, no fire alarms went off. Fully smoked out the building, unlivable conditions for 2 months. Wouldn't respond to any of our emails. Kept our full rent and security deposits. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a garbage company. ZERO accountability for the issues they create. They wouldn't prorate or refund any of the rent. Please do yourself a favor and do NOT live here.
