The Links At Forest Creek

While we lived there it was nearly impossible to get someone to help us with anything the track lighting was only screwed in on one side for the entire time we were there even with multiple request to get it secured. We had packages stolen off of our front porch, had 2 holiday wreaths smashed to bits. Had a grill stolen right before we moved out. That was the only time they were willing to help. Granted that was also once we got the police involved. Now after being moved out for about 9 months we are getting calls from a collection agency about some stains in the carpet that were in the floor that we are supposed to be paying for them to get out. BUT THOSE STAINS WERE THERE WHEN WE MOVED IN!!! AND NOTED ON OUR FIRST DAY WALK THROUGH. Never once got a notice or bill from them. Never called us to tell us about these issues or an email. I beg you not to move there because they do not care about their tenants in any way shape or form. All you are to them is a paycheck

I’ve lived here for almost 4 years with my son. It’s a good place to live. It’s less than 5 minutes to the HEB, about a 10 minute drive to the schools, Stone Hill Town Center, and I-​35. The apartments are in the Pflugerville ISD. Buses come to the management office to pick up the kids of all grades. It’s also a safe place for kids to play after school.
Usually every Friday, management has cupcakes, or some type of treat for the kids after school. Management also does holiday events and get togethers year round for tenants. Pets are allowed, and asked to pick up their dog’s poop. As with any apartment, usually the hardest part is learning to deal with your neighbors, and to be courteous.
Oh, also everyone has their own carport, which can park two cars. And additional parking on the street.

LOOK ELSEWHERE!
I’ve been a resident for over a year. I have NEVER wrote a review on any website, but I feel so strongly that this information could be helpful to a prospective renter that I MUST post it.
There’s a reason why MOST of the available units are on the lower level AND priced much lower. To say the walls are thin is a huge understatement!!! If you live in a lower unit you WILL hear EVERYTHING upstairs! I have lived in several apartment complexes and stayed in a few of the crappiest hotels, NONE of them were anywhere near as loud as these are. I swear I am NOT being dramatic, it really is awful. To make matters worse, the stairs for the second level are enclosed on the other side of the paper thin wall that seperates the entire living area of the bottom unit. The stairs are now old and never repaired. It is so loud that I can hear the neighbors going up and down the stairs from my bedroom with the bedroom door closed. I’m woken all times of the day and night from the noise. The «wood» floors are nice, but on the second floor they only magnify the noise in an already poorly sound proof unit, and MOST of the residents here have children. Unfortunately for me, the family above me has 3 – 5 kids, depending on the week.
While the carports «seem» like a nice bonus, I assure you they are NOT! The children (and there are a LOT OF THEM) run and ride their bikes and scooters in between the cars. I have SEVERAL scratches on BOTH of my vehicles that are more than 3 inches long from children doing this. The neighbors are not always respectful in the way the park, so that has lead to many door dings and inability to transport things from my car to my apartment because the neighbor doesn’t leave room. FORGET PRIVACY if you are on the first floor! The way the carports are situated, the tenant in the upper level parks IN FRONT of the ONE and only living room window. EVERYTIME they come and go, they walk and congregate right in front of the window looking directly into your entire living space. This may not seem like a big deal, but I assure you it is, unless you don’t mind people hanging out in front of, and looking into your home. In order to have privacy you have to keep the blinds closed at all times. At LEAST FOUR times I’ve had strangers walk into my apartment because they meant to open the door to the upstairs unit. On more than 10 occasions I’ve seen people (usually kids) peeking into the bedroom window off the carport AND the back bedroom at night. If you have children, or a big family I would suggest a lower unit because the people below you WILL COMPLAIN if you live upstairs because of the noise from poor construction between floors and walls. Just make sure there are security locks on the windows. There were NO LOCKS on the windows when I moved in and I didn’t realize it until some things went missing from my apartment. I didn’t bother with a report because I couldn’t prove it was related. I bought the locks and put them on myself. This all happened with the prior maintenance team, not the current one.
Kids are a HUGE PROBLEM!!! ALL ages. They congregate on patios and carports. They peak into windows, throw rocks and damage property. They are disrespectful and loud. They even block me and try to intimidate me when I’m walking on pathways. Lately they have been putting kids in one area of the complex. If you are considering this complex I HIGHLY suggest you drive through the far NORTH SIDE of the complex between 4 – 8 pm.
In the last six months I’ve noticed a major difference in the people that they are leasing to. Make of that what you will. As a result, there are a LOT more unsupervised kids and the problems that come with it. There are TOO MANY vehicles parked in front of the units making it impossible for two cars to drive down the street at one time. The office threatens action, but the problem has only become worse.
UPDATE: WORSE SINCE ORIGINAL POST Speeding has recently become WORSE! There are several people who drive within the complex as if it’s a residential neighborhood. Often they drive in excess of 25 mph. They need to do something about this ASAP before someone gets hurt.
Count on having a bug problem, especially in the summer. I’ve had everything from a sewer roach infestation of 2″ roaches to wolf spiders and even a recluse. They say they spay, but it doesn’t help if there are spaces in the door frame and windows for them to enter.
The office staff are nice and do make an attempt to have social activities for the residents. The maintenance team usually takes care of work orders the same day, or the next. It is frustrating that they don’t speak very good English though, and they work on noise sensitive repairs too EARLY in the AM.
If I could afford to move I would have been gone long ago. I wish I could disclose my information, but I cant
Unfortunately I’m stuck here until my lease is up. I would gladly pay more to live elsewhere. These are VERY overpriced for what you get!

I’ve have lived here 3 months now and I am very happy I took some of the views here with a grain of salt. The staff is wonderful, my neighbors are great, and the neighborhood kids are pretty quiet considering they’re kids. If I have ever had any trouble the staff has gone out of their way to correct it.
I am very glad to call The Links home.

I have lived here for over 5 years and I won’t have it any other way. It fits my budget just fine. it has covered parking AND the staff is just great… if I have any apt issues I normally get it fix by the next day. The office staff are wonderful people and always very helpful. it took me a while to find this apt… Thank you Gina!

I would look elsewhere. I was lucky to find this place because they were the only place I could find that would do a short term lease. The only problem is it cost me a ridiculous amount of money for this short term lease. The rent was much higher for a short term lease, which is understandable. However, I also had to pay $ 300 pet fee, $ 300 pet deposit, $ 125 regular deposit, and an additional $ 20/​month for my small dogs. Still not a huge deal, as I expected to get most of that back. Well, after leaving the place much cleaner that it was when I moved in, they still charged me another $ 120 to clean the carpets and that came out of the pet deposit, not the pet fee. So I paid a $ 300 pet fee for 2 months for what??? I feel like they really take advantage of people that need a short term lease. And the other posts about bugs is true. They must have no pest control services. Also, smelling the neighbor smoking marijuana all the time was another added benefit.

This is the place it is awesome a wonderful place to live
The manager and management team is real great we have no complaints I know it feels good to come home and don’t have to worry about PARKING space my husband and I love it it like we have a house the neighbors or great we all have peace here and the maintenance is nice and always there to help no problems and we love our apartment we love been here THANK FOREST CREEK

If there were a way to rate this S$#% Hole a 0 stars I would. We rented this place because we are building a house. The other reviews are right on about the kids. My biggest problem though is the teenagers living above me. They stay up all night and sleep all morning. I have complained to management and to the police until I am blue in the face The walls and ceilings are paper thin. We should have rented in Cedar Park/​in Williamson county .I was referred to this place by a relator .Bad referral. Do your home work.

We were waiting for our house to be built and went to an apartment locator to help us find temporary housing. To our surprise they found these great apartments right around the street from our new home! They offered a short term lease AND furniture rental with all bills paid! We didn’t have to worry about anything.
The apartment manager called us at least 4 times while we were living there to check on us and make sure everything was fine. The pool area is nice and the whole place seems clean.
There are a bit of unsupervised children that can get noisy especially if you live next to one. But it is the parents that are letting their kid’s run around, not the apartment’s fault.
As a matter of fact the apartment sent out two letters while we were living there to remind people to supervise their children, clean up after their dogs and use their parking spaces correctly. Overall the management seems to care about the concerns of the people that live there. It is a cute community with a small town feel.
If we weren’t moving into our new home, we would consider them for long term housing too.

I gave it 1 star for the washer and dryer in the unit.
WORST PLACE EVER!!!
So glad I moved out. Units are built so poorly, you can hear everything! No peace.
Dog poop everywhere
Trash everywhere
Pack of kids everywhere
Ghetto.

The Fleas at Forest Creek is just as Amanda S. describes. We have bonus feature of nasty dirty carpets infested with fleas. We were attracted by the short term lease. Have we saved anything when we now pay for flea treatments on our indoor cat that has never had fleas. The final slap in the face is the audacity of how much they charged monthly for a pet fee and at the end of the lease for carpet cleaning they never cleaned in the first place. We were the one type of renter waiting for a house to be built. The place is overrun with the latch key kids and the low end transient apartment dweller types that sleep 5 to a room and park all over the place. Lot of policies with no enforcement. Thank goodness our builder finished our home on schedule. Another month of this and we would have lost it.

UNSUPERVISED kids everywhere!!! Ages range from 3yrs to 15yrs. Management NO HELP! I have complained numerous times. I was offered another unit in the complex. But of course the move would be at my expense. Every afternoon kids rule the hood. The most disrespectful kids I have ever seen. Forget coming home to relax. Not even your TV with Surround sound can block out the noise from these children!!! The neighborhood is filled with latchkey kids. Your home is NOT your sanctuary at the Links at Forest Creek!!! Unless of course your sanctuary includes screaming, fighting, yelling, and otherwise loud children!!!
We have private carports in front of our townhouses. But beware of the motorized scooters, four wheelers, go carts, and bicycles that always seem to be dropped and thrown about in your carport when you get home. Lets not forget the 14 children with attitudes parked in your door way. Did I mention we have private carports? Your welcome to enter your domicile, however you’ll have to step over the group of heathens in your path. Because don’t think for a minute they’ll move without being asked. Even then you’ll get still get the «are you talking to me?» look.
I have a child so please don’t think I am just a kid hater! But my child is actually a bit frightened of the children who live here. She wouldn’t think of going outside alone.
The only reason they are getting 2 stars is because the apartments are nice and the maintenance people are always prompt. The grounds are well kept and the structures are appealing.
***CORRECTION…KIDS ARE MOSTLY IN THE BACK OF COMPLEX
** If you are thinking of renting from this place note that the children all gather at the very back of the complex. Check this area: the corner of Poppy Hills Trail and Corral De Tierra between the hours of 3:45 pm and 6 pm. It’s no wonder the «model homes» are in the front of the neighborhood. If you stay to the front you’d never even know that kids lived here. But seriously look all over this place at different days and times.
