Tides on Esperanza Apartments

I was first drawn by the price and location. Once I got there the two girls in the front are very friendly and helpful. The studio was cute and quaint. Applied today with the look and lease special. Loved to see the community actually participating in the clubhouse billiards room.

Noisy and run down

My new wife and I were very excited to make a move from Washington down to Texas in 2021. We painstakingly reviewed several apartment complexes before making a MASSIVE mistake in choosing Tides as our home.

I highly recommend that if you cannot see this complex in-person, do NOT apply (we used a free apartment locator service for our next apartment).

The new management staff who started in Feb. 2022 (Mya and Juan) show decent professionalism. And the new maintenance staff... are great!

However there are two aspects to the apartment complex that management seem unable to address. (1) The other residents and (2) the quality of the complex

Every single day and night we lived there we were woken up and disturbed by car alarms.
every….single…day!

On top of this, idiots were constantly honking their horns whenever someone is parked in their reserved car spot. Our sleep suffered severely due to these inconsiderate idiots. (In our new complex we have heard no car alarms or honking at all.)
These same residents are also incapable of putting trash in the dumpster (alot of photos support this).

In terms of the complex itself. It is very cheaply built with awful thin windows, and terrible (no) insulation. This causes the place to turn into a greenhouse in the summer months. The cooling costs made our seemingly cheap home, very expensive.
The maintenance of this complex has been neglected for a very long time.


Also note that this street used to be called Maham St. It was Renamed due to high crime levels in this area.

Please don’t make the same mistake as we did. Don’t apply without an in-person tour. Read More

Dont move here. It is super cheap. I moved here in April they have permanently closed the pool (no pool all summer) the wash house is outed and the machines are always broke. The pictures they show are only of the done up places the reat of the place is completely trashed. People are always working in their cars. There is no where to park. Rodents because the trash is pilled high. Just drive through ine time and you’ll see what I mean

This apartment community is a nightmare. I have lived here for 4 years, and the community has gone downhill since I moved in. I have NEVER been able to use the pool in 4 years. (The pool is ALWAYS closed, and you can only access the pool from the office, which is closed on the weekends) The parking is a NIGHTMARE! You can't find any parking late at night, and you can't have any guests stay the night without getting a "parking pass." The office is hardly open, so you can't get a parking pass. All... guests must leave by 11:00pm. This means no overnight guests or visitors from out of town. They want you to "buy a parking spot," but people will continue to park in your spot, and the office expects YOU to call the towing company and have the car removed from your spot. When you turn in a maintenance request, it takes DAYS for someone to come and fix the problem. The ceiling was leaking for 4 days, before someone came to take care of the issue. The landscaping is TERRIBLE!! There is hardly any grass anywhere, and there are no sidewalks, so people have to try to maneuver around broken concrete. The pictures that they show in the photos online are all of the great pool area, which you can NEVER use, and it is the only area in the complex that has actual grass. The employees in the office are rude, act as if they don't care about you, and continually have the office "locked." The price is good, but you will regret moving to the complex. It is NOT worth the money savings!! Read More

Renewing for another year!! Excellent property!!!!
