Hunter Chase Aparments- Before I do my review there are a few things you should know. Yes, they offered me a certain amount off my rent. ( It's not much to sway my opinion) 2. I'm logical and fair in my reviews and write them per experience. You can check out my previous reviews at Woodman Park Apartments.
Okay here we go.....*this is be long*
When I started looking for a two bedroom apart there were three essential things I needed in my life; 1. Kitchen space 2. Central Air/Heating 3. Washer/Dryer. Starting my search I knew I would be payment more for theses amenities. I searched a few places found out they didn't have what I wanted or the pricing was way out of my budget. I was getting annoyed until I found Austin Springs Apartments (which is the sister apartments to Hunters Chase) I was in love! Like my heart was just oozing with joy with the lay and the beautiful big bathroom. However, the downfall was the kitchen area had little counter space...I told myself I NEED counter space to feel sane when I cook and the pricing was 200 more over the preferred budget of 1000.00.
As I was leaving I decided to go down the line to see what else was around. When I stopped by to look at the model, I spoke with Michelle who (again per my experience) was lovely and kind she showed me the model that I currently stay in. I liked the layout and thought it was spacious enough for me and my sister, plus I would be receiving all new appliances. 4 months later we move in, I love the fireplace, washer and dryer, my closet but throughout the day I started to notice little imperfections here and there. Like the spray they use on the countertop and sink were chipping (within 1 week) The cabinets were sprayed painted to appear as though it was cherry wood( great idea) however, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things not being painted all the way. Plus it chips anytime someone grabs the handles. I should note that this is minor to most people but to someone who has OCD it is nerve wrecking.
*Side bar- I knew going in that the apartment was older*
Second Flaw was in my sister room, you could tell there were some water damage to this apartment my only wish was that the took their time sealing and evening the plaster so that it didn't look so obvious. It began to crack 2 weeks into the move, the maintenance was able to "reseal" it but not to my satisfaction.
The doors are not cut properly to allow for an easy opening and closing of the door...which to some people isn't a big but again it bother the living day light out of me...(I'm just going to ask them if it's possible to fix the doors.)
My biggest concern is that while the air conditioner works it doesn't work in the two bedrooms (sent my second request to have someone look into it.) The area is pretty chill, you see people doing everyday things like walking their dogs, jogging and so forth. The pool area is nice they recently built a grilling area. They keep the apartment ground clean (couldn't say the same for Woodman Park) I have a beautiful view of the pond and I get to see the sunrise (cheesy I know, but I'm built like that). After being here for 3 months now, I consider the pricing to be a tad bit high for the apartment I pay now. I would say 800 would have been more suitable. But considering the upgrades it makes sense for rent to go up. I plan on staying here for a few years until they give me a reason to move it (constant raise on the rent). Overall, I am satisfied with my choice to stay here. My score on this apartment would be a 3.5 due to the minor flaws in my apartment.
