The Villages of Sage Creek

So I originally gave this place a bad review because I always have to park super far away or at Walmart and it’s super super annoying. But that’s pretty much the only down side to living here. The pool is nice (when it’s not completely full which is most days) and the apartment it’s self is nice enough. It’s close to the things I like to do and the office people are friendly. I also like the maintenance men. If I’m able to park inside the gate and *not* at Walmart I really don’t mind the long walk to and from my car because there is this little creek you walk over and living inside of it is a little crawfish. I like to see him every morning and see how he’s doing. So it’s really not too bad.
I just wish they could do something about parking, and something about the pool (in the summer people come from other apartments and park/​swim all day. It’s actually really crazy and annoying. One time someone who didn’t live in the complex got hurt at the pool and the ambulance couldn’t get in because no one at the pool had a gate clicker. For real. No one.)
Anyway. This apartment complex is reasonably priced so I can’t complain too much. I’ll just go to public pools to swim in the summer. No biggie.

I’ve lived here for 2 years. The apartments are really nice on the inside. I live in a 2 – 2. The rent is affordable, but like any other place, the rent increases yearly. You have the option of selecting different lease terms-​6, 8, 12, or 13 months. That’s a plus because most places only offer you either a 6 or 12 month lease. The parking is horrible if you come home late. In the summer time, people use the pool, volleyball area, and grills, so then there’s REALLY no parking. There’s a huge gated dog park in the complex if you have a dog. There’s a gym, tanning room, and sauna. They have great amenities! The company changed management not too long ago, so they stopped doing preventative pest control, which is negative. We used to get pest control every couple of months to prevent pests. There are a lot of kids that play outside together, but they’re in by nightfall.
The only problem I really had was with a neighbor who lived above me, who would allow his kids to run ALL day and ALL night throughout the apartment. We barely got any sleep. At times, they would have 7 kids running up there (I know because I went up there a few times to ask if they could simmer down). It was a living nightmare for an entire year. I told the front office several times and they did nothing. I mean running around at 3:00AM every morning!!! They moved! Thank God for that, so now everything is okay. I can sleep in peace.
The apartment complex is a melting pot. There are people from America, but a lot of foreigners.
Overall, I would recommend this complex to people. It’s conveniently located and it’s tucked away on it’s own street. You can easily access IH-​35 and Mopac. The Domain is a 7 minute drive away. There’s a shopping center across 35. Downtown is a 15 minute drive with no traffic. Centered between two different HEBs and directly behind WalMart. It’s a great location and I haven’t had any other problems other than the one mentioned.

7 months in to a lease and I am VERY happy with this Apartment. The Manager Cathy, is AWESOME and responds quickly to suggestions, emails, or concerns. I have had to call Maintenance a total of 3 times during my stay and they always responded within 24 hrs.
This is a very Kid friendly Apartment. Lot’s of Families and a good mixture of Folks from all walks of life. Excellent pool area and even has free weights in the gymnasium. That alone saves me $ 55 a month from Golds.
The parking can be a pain, but aside from that – this is an extremely affordable and quaint place for this area of town. They DO offer covered parking for an additional $ 25 (I think it was 25) or garages for $ 75. I leased one of the garages just to use as extra storage, which is cheaper than any of the local places. They are pet friendly and it was only an additional $ 10 a month for my Dog.
Another bonus is lot’s of trees, large dog park, and small trails behind and I always feel safe letting my Kids play outside.

Good value for your money but has issues. The place is actually pretty nice for the price, kept up and has a great location. The staff was usually on point though my ice maker never got fixed. Nice amenities but need more laundry facilities.
Negatives: the high school next door –make sure you avoid leaving when school is starting/​ending/​football game (though you can actually sneak thru connally and get to Kramer), occasional sketchy looking characters and cars, nightmare parking unless you spring for a garage or covered space, the intersection of lamar and parmer can be a pain.
I’m not sure you could do better for the price point, location and upkeep in that area.

Lived here for the last 6 months. Ask for Mike when you tour, he’s great! I live on the left side of the main entrance, it’s much smaller than the right, makes it easier to recognize your neighbors. I have the office, pool and gym right next to me and the dog park (big enough for my husky to run around and explore.) The pool is huge and I love all the amenities…
The layouts are awesome, and all the units have kitchen islands. Alex from maintance is great, so professional and polite. There’s a lot of diversity in the community and I have not had one single complaint with noisy neighbors. Sometimes parking gets 100% but haven’t had to park my car outside the property.

Nice apartments and amenities but the residents are mostly ghetto. I havent heard of too many break ins around here so I do feel safe. There are a lot of teenage chidren running around everywhere, especially during summer. There is never parking during the summer because the residents invite their huge families to the pool. Rent is cheap. The only person in the office who seems to do a good job is Mike, well… the assistant manager Brandy is also helpful. Some rude girl that works in the office was causing a noise disturbance at the pool late one weeknight… she obviously doesn’t care about the residents. About twice a month someone tries to throw a Spring Break style pool party so if you don’t like noise/​parking issues, don’t live near the pool. Maintenance is great. Walmart is across the street.

LEGAL CLAIM FILED AGAINST THIS PROPERTY!!!
If I could give them negative stars, I would. I don’t even live here. I came to visit a friend, and their security gate closed on my car, leaving a giant dent on my passenger side. As I was entering the gate, I had to stop half way because some kids were crossing in front of my car. And as I was about to move, the gate to my right side started sliding in and closing while my car was still there! The gate was clearly malfunctioning, it was off its track and the sensor failed to sense my car. I took pics of the gate not being on its track, and just rolling off to the side on the ground. My friend who lives there also says that the gate never works correctly. When I went to talk with the property manager about it, she denied that the gate was malfunctioning and refused to pay for my damages. I then told her to give me an incident report, and that my attorney will follow up with them. She just said ok. So here I am, filing a claim against them.
If you’re thinking of living here, please think again and don’t give them your business. This review probably has nothing to do with the actual experience of living here, because I do not live here, luckily, but I just wanted to tell everyone the story of how badly this property management takes care of their property, because from what I know, the gate has been broken for quite some time now!

LEGAL DISASTER!!! We found a MOLD infestation in the apartment we just signed a lease on. Following all the proper protocols (Tx Atty Gen.) we notified them and were told it would be fixed. Their version of fixing it was to PAINT OVER IT. Tx Health Dept. told me this is unacceptable and the mold will grow through the paint. They have violated the Texas Property Code and do not seem to care!!!

Good, well-​maintained. The management is fairly idiotic, as happens with apartment complexes, but the maintenance staff is top-​notch.
We’re in our third year here, which says something.
