When I first moved in, the manager was WORTHLESS--repair requests went unanswered, etc. He was gone more than he was around.
But in May of 2003, they got new managers in, and the whole apartment has really turned around! We've seen the followings improvements in just the last year:
1) Drug dealers kicked out left and right
2) Newer tenants coming in that are SUPER nice (I just love my neighbors!)
3) New paint all around
4) Improved landscaping
5) Noise rules ENFORCED!!!! It is quiet here almost 24/7, and if someone is too loud, we just call the manager and she takes care of it ASAP
Everyone talks about how bad Texas Street is, but let me tell you, Cedar Glen does NOT live up to the Texas Street reputation. It's a nice, AFFORDABLE place to live with people who really care about you as a tenant. Our manager makes herself available almost 24 hours a day---when office hours are over she even lets us knock on her door of her apartment (she lives on site).
What can I say? I love this place. So never mind the rumors, check it out for yourself! Maybe I'll see you as a neighbor soon!
