Texan Shoal Creek Apartments

I’ve lived at the Texan Shoal Creek since August of this year. Recently I discovered a pungent stench coming from my closet. Water flooded the hallways and seeped through the wall into my closet. I discovered an uncomfortable amount of mold growing in my closet. It is black and smells horrible. The entire building is moldy, and there’s no way I am the only resident with mold growing. Ely Properties has yet to respond.

IF I COULD I would put 0 stars!
Usually I do not write or post on Unilocal but this is necessary for the future college students when picking an apt. This happened to my roommates and I when we lived at Texan Shoal Creek Apartment starting this past Aug, 2014. We subleased a 2 rooms apt complex. When we first moved in, everything seemed fine. We lived there and over time my roommate thought that the apt had a funny smell after a couple weeks.
I didn’t think so but things went worse. In one bedroom, we found out that the carpet was wet underneath her bed and black spots were showing on her wall. The funny smell that my roommate commented was due to the growing mold on the second bedroom. The next day we had our electricity service cut off because the last person who rented the apt had his name on the electric service. There was a lack of information among my roommates that we had to transfer the service to one of our names. SO no electricity from that point on.
Because it was mold, we didn’t think it was safe to live in the apt. The management was able to reply the next day after emailing them twice about it and told us they will check on it. Matt (the owner of the property) said that he will contact the construction company and went to the apt to check on the issue without noticing any of us. None of us were there because there was no electricity or internet for us to stay at the apt.
The next day, Matt stated that the «mildew» was due to not having electricity and wanted to have us move to another apt complex. However the new apt was smaller than the current one we had and we had to pay for the same price.
We asked if we could get some kind of waived fee due to moving to another apartment or have some kind of help for moving out to our current apartment. He first agreed to waive next month if we stayed at the Texan Shoal Creek apt but refused to help move our furniture.
At this point on, it was game OVER. He said that he had a new apt to move in however turned out that someone else leased the apartment. The management and Matt terminated the contract. We had to find our own apt when most of the apt has already been taken! That week they came into the apt unannounced and REMOVED the carpet in both bedrooms. All of our things in the bedrooms were moved in the bathrooms. It was a DISASTER as in a tornado came into the apt. He then stated he would help in looking for a new apt but that was BS.
We all moved out and had to leave furniture behind due to their deadline in moving out by next week and the burden it caused us all. On top of that, we had to live elsewhere separately for ALMOST 2 weeks due to this whole issue. Check out the pictures if you want to see the bedrooms.

I have lived here for two years now and can say that I’m ready to move. The apartments themselves are nice, but the appliances break a lot and they came to fix them several times, but it took me almost a year to get my dishwasher fixed. The washer and dryers are awful. The washer takes like 3 hours to dry anything. The elevators break all the time. If anybody holds one of the buttons for more than 3 seconds it shuts down and can be down for up to a week. Parking is annoying because all though management says they dont, I think they oversell the parking garage because sometimes you can’t find parking and the tow truck only come once in a while. At the moment, both garage gates are broken which is typical around here.
So yes, the apartments are nice, but for the price I have definetly seen better in West Campus. West Campus is annoying in itself, but that isn’t TSC’s fault. Just be prepared to deal with broken appliances, elevators, bad management, and loud loud parties since it’s right across from a huge frat.

Have found the management to be extremely helpful and willing to work with my needs. The apts are beautiful with a small balcony.

I recently moved into this apartment complex and so far it’s not too bad. The complex itself was built a year or two ago and it’s located across from the Sigma Alpha Mu house. I moved into a ²⁄₂ and rent is about $ 800 a person but this includes internet and cable. The rooms have hardwood floors and a washer/​dryer as well as stainless steel appliances. They also have a small pool in the center of the complex that I’m looking forward to making good use of. As far management, they’ve been pretty good and organized thus far with our move-​in, we’ll have to see how it goes this coming year.
The one and only complaint I have is the parking on the first floor in the garage. It’s as if these lanes were painted for the Minis, there are so many scratches on the concrete pillars from people not parking correctly and getting too close to each other so watch out!
