I just moved into this apartment due its great location and neighborly atmosphere. The letting agent, Rene Salinas, is very hospitable and made the application process go very smooth. He was informative, flexible and helpful in providing referrals for utilities and insurance. Within a matter of days I received my keys! Best value for money in this area.
I recently toured The Core Apartments. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The staff during the tour were extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions with great detail. Overall, I was very impressed and I would definitely recommend touring the complex if you’re looking for a place to live. It seems like a wonderful community, and the apartments are beautiful and well-maintained.
Just got approved! The grounds and amenities look upscale and clean, the unit has thick walls and great layouts as well. Rene was a ROCKSTAR on our tour and I’ve now spoken to I think every member of the office staff and they have all been kind, cheerful, informative and helpful. I have zero doubts Rene will be the man and help the rest of move in go smoothly! 10/10 all around.
I have been here roughly 2 years and my only complaint is that buffalo wild wings is too close to my apartment, but maybe thats a personal issue...Rene is always so quick to help, makes for a great front office experience and I am pretty sure Ive seen him clean every speck of the main building so far! As a Brookshire vet, he brings wisdom and charisma to the front office.Zoe has been great since she joined last year and always makes my pup feel welcome, just as the rest of the staff always does. Very pet friendly here! I work from home and can always count on her to answer any quick leasing or maintenance/building questions while I take my breaks from slaving away. She has an inviting, super knowledgeable and professional character about her, so if you have an issue, its likely a.. personal one :)
I’ve been living in this apartment building for the past year, and unfortunately, it’s been a constant struggle. From the start, the management has been unresponsive to maintenance requests. Simple issues like a leaking faucet and broken AC took weeks to address.The building itself is poorly maintained, with common areas often dirty and neglected. The elevators are constantly breaking down, and there’s a noticeable lack of security – the main entrance is often left open, and I’ve seen strangers roaming around the hallways at night.Noise levels are unbearable; thin walls mean you can hear everything from neighbors talking to doors slamming at all hours. Parking is also a nightmare, with limited spots and aggressive towing policies that make it hard to find a space.For the price you pay here, it’s simply not worth it. There are definitely better options in the area that offer more value, better service, and peace of mind. I’m looking forward to moving out as soon as possible.
My sister and I just had the opportunity to tour the apartments. Rene Salinas, truly made the whole experience so much better! We had spent the day looking at different properties but the friendly atmosphere really made this whole experience so much better feeling as if you were at home already.We really loved the amenities as well and we hope to become residents soon. Also, one of the best locations around everything you need! Thank you for your great work.
Moved in to an apartment here about a week ago and it has been amazing so far. The apartment was clean and the community amenities are well kept. Rene went above and beyond in making sure I had a smooth move-in process and has personally seen that I have everything I need.
Great leasing team! Rene did an amazing job in helping us with the application. Apartment complex is clean and located in one of the best areas in town. Totally recommended
I recently had the pleasure of touring this apartment complex, and I cant recommend it enough! Fortunately I had Rene Salinas as my expert to direct me all across this beautiful property!! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and well-maintained grounds.What truly stood out, though, was Rene! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, taking the time to answer all my questions and guide me through the available units. His enthusiasm for the community was contagious, and he provided valuable insights about the neighborhood and amenities.If you are prospecting the area, check out this apartment and ask for Rene!
I had the pleasure of leasing with Rene during the process of renting my new apartment, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and dedication. From start to finish, he made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Rene is incredibly knowledgeable about the local scene and was always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how small. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and went above and beyond to find the perfect apartment for me. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made working with him an absolute joy. If you’re looking for an apartment that truly cares about their residents and works tirelessly to get the best results, I highly recommend the Core and Rene!”
I Toured the property and could not explain how welcoming and great Rene was when showing us around the beautiful property. He took his time with us answering all of our question and making us very comfortable with his amazing energy.Thanks to all his guidance and knowledge about the property and the area, I was able to feel more confident in my decision to become a potential resident.
I’ve lived here for 3 years & love the community and staff. Rene Salinas & Carlos Medrano are so friendly and attentive and a joy to work with. They attend to all of our needs promptly & truly make us feel appreciated.
Ive been here for a year now and have genuinely had a great time here. The maintenance is always prompt, the front office staff - Rene and Zoe have always been professional and understanding regardless of whats going on. Although theres always going to be some issues because of how close it is to Washington avenue - these apartments are well maintained and in a great location so its never dull.PS:- I just want to add that Carlos from maintenance is a very cool guy and does a great job as well as Giovanni. Kristina from the front office is also very responsive and youll always find the solution to your problem if you talk to her.
I recently toured the property and it was a great experience. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful, especially Rene. He has such great energy and really made me feel like I was family. Such great customer service!
I just have to give a huge shoutout to Carlos and the entire maintenance team at Core Apartments! They’ve been super helpful and friendly, making our time here more bearable.While we’re looking forward to moving out, I really hope they all get the recognition they deserve. Thanks for everything, guys!
Had a great tour with Rene. He was so welcoming and very personable. The community was very clean and well managed. Loved the location and amenities!
Now that we no longer live there I feel like I can post an honest review. No apartment complex is perfect, but The Core definitely strives for it. Id recommend this place to ANYONE. Great amenities, neighbors, and staff. 2 years and minimal complaints.
I’ve been living here since August and it is hands down my favorite apartment complex I’ve ever lived in! The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. From the moment my fiancé and I met Renee at the front desk we knew we were going to lease! The hallways are always clean and I’ve never had an issue with the elevators living on the 4th floor. The secure parking garage is so nice and has a skybridge which makes me feel very safe coming home at night. Anytime I’ve had a maintenance issue it has been fixed DAY OF which is UNHEARD OF!! The pool, grills and gyms are such nice amenities. Never had a problem with noise from neighbors and everyone who lives here has been so friendly. Only issue I have is I spend too much money at Cook Shack across the street bc the chicken is FIRE. I don’t understand the negative reviews because I personally have never had an issue and I think It’s so well priced for the location, amenities, staff and living experience.
I’ve had a wonderful leasing process from touring to moving in thanks to Rene Salinas. Rene is very welcoming and attentive to any questions throughout the time leading to move in day! I’m very thankful to have someone like him in the community as a resource!
My Experience as a new resident was great. Rene Salinas was excellent in helping me every step of the way. He was enthusiastic, informative, very helpful and fantastic!
Toured this beautiful property and a huge shout out to Rene for providing excellent advice, customer service, and being super friendly. The property was well maintained, clean, and everything looked great. Looking forward to making this my new home and moving in!!
Great property but the real highlight was working with Rene. He was such a pleasure, even when he was busy he took the time to answer all my questions and accommodate me. He was super nice and understanding. Highly recommend working with him!
What theres not a 4.5 star just 4 or 5??!! As you can tell I normally dont write reviews.Well so far so good! I’m new to apartment living but I looked around for a while and had a lot of things that I considered when making my decision. Location, also location in terms of how busy or loud the area could get, the vibe of the property (the look and general safe feeling/security) and amenities. The thing that I didn’t realize was that also factored in as a part of my decision in choosing which apartments to go with, was the general temperament of the office staff. When I first walked in I was welcomed in and was also offered a bottle of water. When Zoe arrived just a few short minutes after to give me the tour and help through the process, I felt very comfortable, not rushed or judged in any way which I really thought was super great. Also I will note that in my short time here and right away Rene was a standout in terms of being very helpful with any questions or requests. Earon and the rest of the office are also all friendly and helpful. This was educational for me because I hadnt even consciously considered that the apartment staff would rank high in terms of helping my decision.Ok now to some of the other things that helped my decision.amenities: Gym:After looking at a few places in the area and surrounding area, I was really impressed with all of the things the gym had to offer. Nice size, a sizable free weight selection (unlike many other places i had seen) a few good key muscle isolation machines, nice professional working machines and also a few good cabling stations as well.Pool: Well the 2 pools are beautiful to look at t’s not exactly the season currently but can’t wait! Also I will add I was even glad to see that they still tend to at least make sure that the courtyards don’t get overwhelmed with too many leaves everywhere from the trees.Oh and who can forget the Coffee Machine. Coffee, Cappuccino, espresso need I say more!!I will add and conclude the the vibe here is pretty chill I haven’t really seen anything that has been loud or riff-raffy. Overall have enjoyed my short time here.
New Update:Management followed up about elevators and as expected they are diligently working on the problem. Outstanding management. Back to 5 stars.——————Been living here since August 2023. Great apartments, fantastic management!The management is outstanding. They are professionals and absolutely excellent at their job. The maintenance crew are also phenomenal and quick!There are maybe a couple of new problematic residents, who slipped through the background check cracks, but the management has been actively dealing with their uncultured behavior very effectively and professionally. I won’t mention what, because it doesn’t matter since management has been actively on top of it.***A+ to the management and staff!***As with any medium-occupancy apartments, you will have some folks who don’t belong in a nice community, but that’s less than 1% of the people here. 99% of the residents are working professionals who are responsible and respectful.That said, even with the problematic people, the management has been absolutely excellent.Lastly, they just updated the first building’s pool area and it’s super nice. Hope they upgrade the pool and the grills in building 2 as well! They also offer super nice perks like restaurant discounts and social events and even massages!All of the above is why not everyone deserves to live here and I hope management exercises greater scrutiny because I love my neighbors and the fine folks running everything here. And they actively upgrade the facilities. They deserve raises and praises all around! Looking forward to renewing my contract.P.S. thank you to the management for their reply. I don’t have any new issues that have not already been addressed. You’ve been phenomenal. Thank you!!
I am actively searching for an apartment and had a productive conversation with Cristina Balderas. She provided excellent assistance with all my questions and delivered the information I needed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I took a tour of the property today, and I absolutely love The Core. The community and amenities are great. Mr. Rene is amazing and the hospitality is top tier. You can feel that he genuinely cares. I look forward to becoming a resident!
I’ve had a wonderful living experience at my apartment. The environment is very safe and comforting, which has made my stay here truly pleasant. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, always maintaining a positive attitude. I particularly want to highlight leasing manager Rene Salinas. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. Rene takes excellent care of all packages and treats everyone like a friend, which really enhances the sense of community here. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great living experience!
I have lived here for 15 yrs! That’s how much I love this place. Everyone in Korean the office is so sweet and pleasant and helpful and all of the maintenance people especially Carlos who has been here Mark for many years on the maintenance team and done such a great job and is so helpful every time I need help with anything not to mention being very knowledgeable of everything he does. Thank you for making this a great place to live!Mark Browning
From the day we walked in to enquire about renting a unit, Rene has been amazing at providing us with all of the information we need and has answered every question we’ve had. It’s been a great introduction to the apartments, we are excited to move in soon!
What such as experience to leasing renting apartment! Rene is very knowledge about the area and friendly to answer all my questions. He took his time on the tour to show many options until found the unit met my expectations. Thank you Rene!
I lived here for 15 months in the second building on the top floor. The only reason that I left was because I found a place closer to my job. I only have good things to say about the place and the staff that keep this place running. Maintenance was quick to address issues and they go above and beyond.
My husband and I lived here for a little over a year, I remember when we were on the hunt for apartments I always looked at reviews so here’s mine! The core was overall everything we were looking for. Location for the price range is great, so central to everything! The apartments themselves were very up to date and they tried to keep the halls and the outdoors clean regularly and had great amenities like gym and two pools, one for each building which was nice. As far as how safe it was, I never felt not safe. During our stay here there were probably a couple car break ins but living in the city I feel like you can’t escape crime. I’m giving this place a 4 star because The communication with management about things like maintenance sometimes lacked, they will tell you something is happening until a few days before which makes us hard to plan around which was a bit disappointing. Regardless, my husband and I felt like our experience here was overall good. If I were ever looking to rent again, i definitely would.
Rene Salinas is the best salesman. He showed my wife the apartment. She was in love with apartment. Its 6 minutes from my sons school. The reason why we moved.
Although I don’t live here and have only toured, I can’t say enough great things about this place. Rene is absolutely incredible at his job. I just adore him. He is the nicest and most genuine leasing agent I have ever met and I have toured so many places. He has extreme attention to detail and it is clear he loves what he does. He not only knows everyone by name, he knows what they do and what makes them different - he even knows all about their pets! I’ve never felt so welcome and comfortable touring an apartment. As for the grounds, everything was spotless! Rene was apologizing for the couple of leaves on the ground (outside!!) from the intense rain. It’s obvious this place has high standards for maintenance and cleanliness. Rene is incredible and helped make this place a huge contender for when it’s time for me to move. He’s truly the best to ever do it hands down.
You cannot beat the location! There is so much to do and so many places to eat within walking distance. I love it! The staff is 1st class! I will defiantly be leasing here when my current lease is up.
The core apartments are very clean and well managed. You can tell the manager Earon really cares about the residents and has very high standards for the property.
Toured this well kept amazing property. By far... Rene is the best first impression that sold me on The Core as my future residence... from providing excellent advice, great customer service, and being super skilled and friendly. The property was well maintained, clean, and everything looked great. I hope there is availability at this property once my lease is up in November 2024!!
Lived here since July and am still loving it!! Rene is amazing! He’s so funny and the best leasing agent. The maintenance here is super fast as well! I wouldn’t live anywhere else!
Not sure why all the sudden one stars keep coming up the core has been one of the most pleasant places I have ever lived staff maintenance and office have always been so helpful. You can definitely tell that someone is angry and telling all their friends to write these bad reviews
I wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience with Rene during my recent apartment tour.Rene was incredibly informative and knowledgeable about the property and its amenities. He patiently answered all my questions and provided detailed insights that helped me understand the various options available. His expertise and personable approach made the tour enjoyable and productive.Thanks to Renes guidance, I was able to narrow down my choices and feel more confident in making a decision. I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication to helping potential residents like myself.Thank you, Rene, for your outstanding assistance!
Toured the property last week with Rene, he was amazing and a delight! Very informative and made me feel like I was at home. His tour was 5/5 stars but wish the apartments were just a tad more updated, so would say apartments are 4/5. However, very clean property, nice staff, great rates for the location it’s in. If I wasn’t picky would definitely lease here!
Relaxed place to live with a lot of bars/restaurants and shopping (Walmart & HEB) nearby. Rene was really helpful and on top of things with the move in process (I had a tight schedule and he made it work.) Package delivery is handled really well. Units are spacious.UpdateAfter living here for a while:I can hear every step my neighbor takes upstairs. It shakes my cabinets. I know their schedule and it’s awful.Maintenance is top notch. As is the office.
Had a great experience touring! the front staff were very friendly, Rene S was very patient with showing me the property & answering all my questions!
Wonderful experience with Core Apartments. The leasing office has been super helpful and recommend it. Rene specifically has been great about everything. Wonderful place to live!🔑🔘
Loved the tour! Rene was extremely kind, helpful, hospitable and informative. Looking forward to hopefully living in the Core!
I have lived here for two and a half years and I have never had an issue with an ongoing smell or dirtiness. -shout out to Renee for always keeping it clean- I live in building 2 and the hallways are cleaner or just as clean as any complex in this area/in the city - I have tons of friends in different complexes around the city for reference. I honestly love it here and the front office has been so sweet and helpful (they even literally scaled a fence to help me catch my dog that got away from me). The maintenance workers are amazing and always so nice and so quick to respond to requests. 10/10 recommend 🤍
Carlos is so amazing!!!! I never have to wait for maintenance! I get same day service and he works with my schedule!!! I been here for 4 years and he is absolutely amazing!
The electricity was down today at court due to the city doing work, but the office was so helpful and helping me deliver packages. Thanks, Cove for always being so helpful.
My roommate and I rented here from April 2019 until May 2020. Within the first 3 weeks we lived here, my roommate got his tires and rims stolen in the garage parking with secure access gates. Several other nice residents who lived here longer than us, approached us and stated theyve seen numerous rim and tire thefts since theyve been at The Core. During our 13 month lease, we have seen some more cars in the garage with their tires stolen and sitting on blocks. The gate is pretty much useless. It was broken numerous times and remained open repeatedly for anyone to enter. Ive done several maintenance requests for that issue alone. The building has a problem with pet waste, it can be found in the hallways on several occasions and sometimes just sits there for hours. I send the office an email for the sanitary issue and they simply tell me fill out a maintenance request. The maintenance staff is the saving grace of this place. They always resolve the issues fast. When it was time to renew, The Core wanted to increase the rent despite their lackluster service and livability. The price is hard to beat compared to other places but please if you must live here, get wheel locks and a tilt alarm for your vehicle especially if you drive a four door sedan. During the pandemic, The Core did lower the overall rent by about $150. I was fortunate to not be affected by the pandemic so the helpfulness of the rent decrease is to each his own.
Just wanted to give Carlos a shout out! He’s always prompt, professional, and takes care of any maintenance issues quickly and efficiently. I appreciate his great service every time!
I recently toured an apartment complex with Rene, and he was outstanding. He answered all my questions with patience and kindness, and his transparency made me feel confident about living there. René highlighted the best features without any pressure, making the experience enjoyable. If you’re touring this complex, definitely ask for René—he’s someone you can count on.
Just signed to live here! Rene in the leasing office is the best. He does everything within his power to find you the best rate within your timeline. I have a friend who has lived here for 3 years so I was able to hear about the great staff and facilities when I started my search for an apartment. I looked at other places and The Core offers the best floorplans, in a great area for a good price. Excited to move in!
The Core apartments is a gem in a popular part of Houston. Some things I noticed:The building has a decent gym overlooking Washington and plenty of space for parking.My fiancée and I had an amazing experience with Rene as he walked us through the buildings as well as being open and honest about his thoughts on various options of apartments. His perspective has helped us to narrow down options. You’ll have a great experience with him if you choose to tour Core.
Just recently did a tour of this apartment complex. The location is great and everything looks nice. Part of the reasons why we applied to this complex the same day was Rene, who gave us the tour. Rene was knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the tour. He was professional and friendly. I am looking forward to working with him for the rest of my leasing experience.
As a long time resident at the Core, I want to give Carlos ( head of matienance) a huge thanks and well deserved recognition for always being professional , reliable, and exceptional at his craft. His skills and knowledge is definitely unmatched. Thank you Carlos for everything that you do!
Just renewed my lease for another year with nothing but good things to say. Great location, amenities, and staff, most notably Rene salinas. He is always readily available and helpful. Maintenance is quick and efficient and the quick accessibility to dining as well as the HEB is great.
Core Apartments are located in prime location with every facility in walking distance. The apartment community is friendly and good for peace lovers. I have been staying here for past year and half and have not had a single security issue. The maintenance team is very prompt in handling all the service requests.The leasing team is wonderful and cater to your smallest request ASAP.
The staff is always been there for me and has been very helpful with all questions and knees I ever needed and they love Lily my four-legged baby.
Rene is always approachable, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the leasing process. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure residents are satisfied, addressing concerns promptly and effectively. His friendly demeanor and proactive approach make interactions pleasant and stress-free. Rene’s dedication and excellent customer service make him an invaluable asset to our community. Highly recommend!
Rene was super helpful throughout the whole process. They make an effort to make moving in easier on the residents. Always very responsive and helpful
Pretty good apartment, great maintenance and front desk. Not the most luxurious, but good. I felt fairly safe here did not experience much. Some auto theft in garage, but that’s everywhere in Houston. Would recommend.
Met Rene at our tour and was very friendly and informative, Definitely made us want to live there, great establishment!
I have loved living here so far. Me and my fiancée moved in over a month ago and we have had zero issues.Our apartment was cleaned and in order when we first moved in. The security is more than adequate, and the other residents here are nice.I put in a maintenance request for an A/C issue the Sunday before Memorial Day and a repairman came within a few hours. I wasn’t expecting someone to come until that Tuesday but they surprised us (the A/C was fixed after him being here for 10 min).Lastly, the front office is what sold us on this complex. Rene was who helped show the unit and tell us why we should move there. My mother is a property manager herself and the way he helps run the property gave me nothing but green flags. He’s a big reason why we leaned towards moving here, and everything since moving in has exceeded expectations.After moving in, I’ve also met Tori who works at the front office as well and she is great! Helping me with my questions and also keeping track of my ikea orders that were coming in. The entire front office has been amazing and I’m so happy they are here at the Core.We have nothing but positives things say here. 5 ⭐️’s!
I had the pleasure of being shown around The Core by Rene, and I couldn’t be more impressed. His warmth and inviting demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable. Despite a long day of touring rental properties, Rene stood out with his attentive listening and genuine care for my needs. He’s a breath of fresh air in the world of leasing agents, and if I decide to lease with this company, it will be because of him. Thank you, Rene, for making this process not only easy but truly delightful!
I have been living here for about 3 years now. I really like it here and the staff are great. Rene at the front office is always super helpful when it comes to packages and making sure my apartment is in good shape. They are always doing maintenance to make the complex feel safe and well kept
Staying at the property has been one of the highlights of my life. What an amazing facility and the staff continues to exceed all expectations by providing me with 5 star treatment. Zay Slucher is one in a million. What a great experience!!
Rene went above and beyond to help me with my application and submitting all the documents I would need for an approval. He was diligent and efficient. Due to unforeseen circumstances I needed to move in within 3 days and I was able to with his help. I’m so appreciative he made the move in process a lot less stressful. The property is nice quiet and in a great location.
Be fully warned, they’re hours are not posted on google nor their website:Me and my husband TRIED touring this place TWICE. We were refused by the leasing office to be shown around and then told to book the tour online. We did and the online booking system allowed us to book for Sunday. The day they’re CLOSED. Well they lost potential renters for their refusal
The location is great. I can access the freeway in no time. The property is always kept clean and if I have any concerns every time i call the office I get greeted professionally and they will address my concern right away. The entire staff really seem to care about their tenants.
Rene is the guy!! Anything I need, Rene goes above and beyond to deliver the best customer service and really takes care of his residents here.
New tenant, transferred from another Berkshire property to here with no issues. From the day I first scheduled a tour until move-in day 3 weeks later, leasing agent Rene was extremely personable, informative, and helpful. I also met Christina and Erin, who were just as bubbly and friendly. Great location, reasonable rent for the area… looking forward to a great residency here!
Beware of car break-ins, unkept dog parks, and a lack of communication. I lived here from August 2023-June 2024.In November there were car break ins in the “secure” gated area of the parking garage. They sent out an email saying it would be investigated and that was all. I was wary of parking there but obviously didn’t have a choice so I continued to park in the parking garage. About a month later, My car and other were broken into. My car had very significant damage and after filing a police report I went to the office to let them know. The office told me that they already knew about it and that multiple other people had theirs broken into also. I am confused as to why, if they already knew my car was broken into, they didn’t reach out. Weird, but ok.There are two dog parks attached to the second building. One dog park has nice string lights and fake grass. The residents that use this dog park leave their dog poop everywhere to the point of it being hard to even walk around. The other dog park is mostly dirt/mud when it rains. That one is much larger and seemed to be the more used park of the two.When I got a new job out of state, I went to the office to ask questions about the move out procedures in May. I talked to 2 different people in the office and both said all I need to do is return my keys. I told them when I would be moving out and one of them let me know that I could just slip my keys under the office gate if I wanted to move out when the office was closed. I moved out of my apartment in June (before my lease ended). A few days later I got a voicemail saying to call back about my move out. I called back twice with no response so I assumed it wasn’t very important. That is until they called my guarantor saying I abruptly left. They then sent me an email saying I would be charged a bunch of fees and then never responded to any emails back and never picked up the phone when I called. The lack of communication is just ridiculous.
We have been at the Core for almost a year now and so far, so good! It’s a fairly quiet community with nice neighbors and a good office staff. My only complaints would be the condition of our unit at move-in— we don’t feel like it was totally ready as a lot of the paint is peeling, the floors are scratched and stained, and a few other minor things. The machines in the gym could use a little TLC as it seems more people have been using the gym lately. Other than that, we are happy at The Core and plan on renewing our lease.
Rene truly made the experience and process so easy and fast in regards to leasing. Answer any questions we had and was just a great person in introducing us to the community and what they have to offer. If youre curious about these apartments just ask for rene!
Great place to live! I’ve been here about a year and a half now and I couldn’t be happier with my unit. Natural sun light, close to the highway and downtown are some notable attributes of The Core. Aside from location, the service is impeccable (Shout-out to Rene). Very friendly environment and any maintenance request is serviced in a timely manner.
I don’t live at The Core, but I kind of wish I chose to. When I visited The Core to get information on apartments, Rene Salinas was there to eagerly help me. He was so nice; he treated me like a friend that he had known for a while. Prices were a little too high for an apartment that was smaller than what I was used to living in… Rene was working diligently…trying to figure out the best rate for me, with different move in dates… Turns out, the final price after including the on-site storage unit (which I needed) was over my budget. So I chose to wait.A week or so later, I noticed online that prices dropped. I went in to visit again. I had a great experience again. Cristina and Erin were super nice. I really liked the apartment which I was shown. But there were no storage units available anymore. So I chose to still keep looking because of that. Then I ended up choosing a different apartment complex💔
I had previously done a walk in with a hopefully attempt to tour this apartment and Rene was kind enough to give us one right on the spot! Unlike other apartment managements I can tell Rene and the rest of the management genuinely care about the complex. He made the tour exciting and fresh change of pace. He knew all the residences names by heart and had pleasure speaking to them. When I called back weeks later to talk about a specific unit he greeted me with nothing but open arms and a smile.
Moved in a month ago. Nice amenities and great price. Rene and the staff have been very helpful and attentive.
My experience at The Core Apartments was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to Rene Salinas. His tour was informative, and his friendly yet professional manner made all the difference. The apartments are a blend of comfort and style, with luxurious amenities and stunning views. For anyone seeking a slice of Houston’s finest living, The Core is the place to be, and Rene is the perfect guide.
Ultimately did not end up leasing at The Core as we wanted a more modem feeling unit, however working with Rene was a fantastic experience. A true industry professional for 20+ years. Location is prime and amenities appear great; as long as you’re not hung up on modern cabinets, countertops, and carpets, you might not find a better deal and better leasing agent than Rene and the team at The Core. Ideal for a college aged person or single young professional.
My husband and I had a very lovely experience at The Core! The whole staff, Cristina, Erin, the rest of the staff and the entire maintenance team, Carlos, William, was phenomenal. I can’t really complain about The Core. Lastly, a huge thank you to Cristina. She was our girl that would help us out in any way she could. She helped us from the first day of touring the complex, to moving in and moving out. Definitely recommend this place. 🤗
I didn’t end up leasing an apartment at the Core, but shoutout to the leasing manager Rene. He was very knowledgeable and great to be around and made it very hard for me to make the tough decision to lease elsewhere.
Renee is the absolute best! He is so helpful and really goes above and beyond at his job! I am so grateful and he really won me over on deciding to live here(:
The best experience! Rene is what sold us on the apartment. They were warm and attentive. Although, we did not have an appointment, they took us on a tour and did not rush the process. Filling out the application went smoothly. We do not have any cons to express. We hope to update this review after moving in.
I just came back from touring the apartment and immediately put in an application, and I wanted to leave my impression thus far.For context, I went from reading reviews of apartments last night to scheduling an appointment for today in the afternoon, and before I even arrived, Id already received a call from Rene as well as a unit that both fit my budget and was available in the time-frame Im looking to move.I met Rene at my appointment and it was an incredibly helpful experience. We did the typical things, going over floor plans, amenities, and given a tour, but it was the very friendly service with my interests in mind from start to finish that elevated the experience.What drew me to this complex out of the others in the area is not just the rating on Google but the sheer amount of reviews that got it there. Other complexes go through management or name changes, and they restart all their reviews so its hard to know if theyre good over a long period of time. Rene said hes only been with the community for 26 years while maintenance and other management have been for at least 30. Community and longevity matter, and everything Ive seen has been a great sign.I hope to update this review in the future after the application process completes and after hopefully living here.
I’ve been here about 6 months and I love it! Everyone in the office is so kind and helpful. My neighbors are great. It’s so quiet here in building 2 and I love my floor plan.The building is a little older but charming. Location is perfect 👍🏻
This was one of the best apartment experiences I’ve ever had. They are quick to respond, always willing to help, and very organized. Rene always goes out of his way to resolve any issue. Maintenance crew are very kind and reliable. Requests are carried out almost immediately.The Core has high standards for service and they work everyday to ensure those standards are met!
Rene at the front desk of the leasing office is the best!! So attentive and helpful! He made the entire process very quick and was available to answer any and all questions we had. Definitely go with him if you’re planning on visiting the property!
I have been living at this property for over a year and I love all the amenities and the customer service from the outside crew and the office staff. My stay has been pleasant and I will definitely continue my stay with this community. They seem to go above and beyond their duties.
Just got approved for our apartment today! I’ll start by saying that there is a reason people in the reviews are raving about The Core and they have earned it. My girlfriend and I have toured so many different properties in the Heights; and The Core exceeded our expectations in every way. Zatoria and Rene are THE absolute best at what they do. Amazing energy and enthusiasm for their job and it is infectious! You can’t get a better location than here in the Heights! Based on how well received this complex is by others, and the care that was demonstrated throughout this process up to this point, I know for certain we made a terrific choice. Thank you Zatoria and Rene for being so knowledgeable of the property, but genuinely wanting the best experience for all of your tenants. Y’all rock!!!
I met with Rene and was instantly and enthusiastically welcomed. The property is awesome - clean, quiet, stylish, and fantastic amenities. Rene is a fabulous rep and an added bonus in considering living here; we had an instant connection in talking to one another and through our vans shoes lol100% wonderful experienceUpdateI love it here - it’s been about two weeks so far but the place is awesome!City location is wonderful for my needs and the living space is greatAll staff members are attentive, friendly, and want excellent quality for residents.Apartments are quiet - just overall peaceful and enjoyable place to live with great amenities.
I had an amazing experience with Rene Salinas. He was a great listener, and was very knowledgeable of the community.He understood that I have been looking for a place for more than a month, and was able to touch on all the points that I had. He mentioned he has been with the company for more than 20 years, and how the management takes care of their residents!Great service, business, overall amazing time touring with Rene!Went straight home to finish up the application!Thank you so much for your help!
I’ve lived at this complex for nearly two years. It’s a really nice complex with great amenities. Great food, bars, coffee shop and and HEB are walking distance. The front staff is great, Rene and Cristina have been very helpful countless times and have gone out of their way to make sure we are comfortable and everything is in working order. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Core
I lived at the Core for 3 years and Im going to miss it so much! Never got a chance to tour before I initially moved in but I ended up loving the neighborhood. Its in an amazing location that is well connected to The Heights and walkable to grocery stores, restaurants and bars. I also loved taking my bike out and riding along the bayou trails. This community is so friendly, and I met the most amazing neighbors and friends while living here.The management and maintenance teams at The Core are also exceptional! My work orders were always done promptly and the maintenance guys are always so friendly. Everyone in the office is immensely helpful and attentive. Huge thank you to this team for making it such a great place to live these past few years.
Rene is AWESOME!!!!!!! He made our leasing process seamless from beginning to end. We were really nervous about relocating without actually touring the community first. Rene exceeded our expectations by showing the property virtually, giving us the history of the building, and informing us about the many restaurants, shopping, and activities that the area has to offer. He explained the process thoroughly and made sure that we were comfortable with our Unit selection. He went over and beyond to ease the anxiety of moving to a new city. Rene is the main reason we decided on The Core. He made us feel at home even before moving here. Move-in day was perfect!!!! Our apartment is beautiful and the amenities are exactly as seen on the site (which is rare). If youre looking for a great place to move and want an exceptional leasing experience go see Rene because HE ROCKS!!!!!!!
Rene was a great person who took us in and showed us the apartment. Very genuine tour with a genuine personality. Made us feel very welcomed and gave us a home feeling while touring us around the building. Definitely would recommend at least giving them a lool
I took a tour today of these gorgeous apartments after recently viewing another complex earlier that disappointed me. I instantly fell in love with the cleanliness and ambiance. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to tour since I was just dropping in without warning but Rene was so eager to help and ensure we were happy. Not only did he try his best to find the best unit for what I was looking for, he made sure to look at the actual unit and make notes of things that needed fixing. The area is awesome and so much is nearby but the actual complex is still quiet. I’m looking forward to living here and will be sure to update my review as time goes on.
René Salinas is one of a kind! I went to tour the property a few days ago, and he was patient, attentive, and diligent. Plus, he makes sure you have a good time while there.He takes the time you need to answer all your questions, provide all the needed information, and get you the best deal.Also, everyone at the leasing office is kind.The property is unique, full of a very particular style, and in a great location.Go check it out for yourself!
I loved living here at The Core. Earon & Cristina are awesome managers. Cristina is so responsive and helpful. Maintenance requests are handled quickly and efficiently. They typically provide snacks and treats for residents on holidays which is appreciated. Coffee/espresso/latte is always available for residents and its very good!
René Salinas did a great job telling me all about the property great customer service thank you Mr René Salinas
Rene Salinas is the best leasing agent in Houston! Very helpful through the application process and made it so easy.
I recently had a change at my job and needed to find a place to move very quickly. Previous places didnt pan out, but immediately after talking with Rene I could feel this place was different. Amazing property and great experience with the leasing office. Im excited to move in in a few weeks.
Rene is an amazing leasing consultant. He was personable, informative, and down to earth on my entire tour. It was a pleasure meeting him today. Thanks Rene!
I highly recommend choosing The Core as your next home. Not only is it walking distance from an HEB, but youre also walking distance from some amazing restaurants like Truth BBQ and Star Pizza. The other direction youve got places like Burger Bodega and Bedrock City comics. All without needing to drive.Aside from that, The Core is a fantastic choice for a safe community. The garage is gated and only accessible to residents. I had to mow through 80+ apartment choices online and finding one that did not have reports of break-ins or vehicle theft was difficult. Even at your higher end apartments.On top of this, you have exceptional staff members like Rene who are genuine and down-to-earth. Nothing sketchy about this guy whatsoever. He let us know which units would fit our needs as far as space and budget.The community has two pools(one at the center of each building), a rec-room, fitness center, and complimentary coffee lounge.Highly recommend!!! Ask for Rene when you book a tour!!!
Im relocating to Houston soon and toured The Core. Zoe was extremely professional and insightful. She took her time and answered all of my questions.
I’ve lived here for the past 3 years and appreciated the improvements being made to the community, the timeliness and diligence in work order repairs, and the overall welcoming feeling the staff and other residents share. I specifically have had awesome interactions with their leasing consultant, Rene. He’s always in a great mood and eager to help however he can!
I just moved out of the Core apartment for the first time in about 3 years. There were some ups and downs throughout but over time their attention to detail and resident experience has gotten better and better. The maintenance guys and the two guys running the front desks are great. Notably one of their workers Rene Salinas is super welcoming, chipper, and helpful. In the most recent time these guys helped me I was in a tough spot trying to retrieve an internet modem box from my apartment after I moved out. Rene was super happy to help. Without that my internet company would have charged me ~$300 to replace it. Thanks Core and Rene!
The apt and building are fine, loud noises and car break ins in the garage are a weekly occurrence. Just know that upon move out you will be ripped off on charges and that the current manager, Earon, is rude and unprofessional. I scheduled an appointment via email weeks in advance, took half day off from work only to arrive there and be dismissed because theyre too busy to see me.
We have lived here for 1.5 years and love it. Amenities are nice and well maintained. Great gym for an apartment. Awesome location with cool bars/restaurants continuing to pop up in the area. And the staff if always very friendly.
This a wonderful community! My neighbors are great, the leasing staff are so sweet and helpful! The maintenance team rocks and are proactive. The area is also great if you enjoy nightlife and outdoor activities! 10/10 recommend making The Core your home!UPDATE 5/30/24:Still love this community! Ive been a resident now for 3 years and have immensely enjoyed my time here. The staff is great (Shout out to Earon/Cristina/Renee!) & the maintenance staff is super fast and efficient with the work orders/upkeep of the property! (Shout out to Raul/Vicente/Carlos/DuJuan). This property is more of a community than anything and the residents are so friendly too!
I was thinking of moving here, but after what I heard about this place… not a chance. Someone I know lives here and I always hear about a broken elevator, filthy common areas and unfriendly staff. What a shame
Rene S was awesome, can’t wait to move into my new apartment!
Rene was the coolest tour guide ever. Super genuine and a is a testament to the praise that this building has received. Warren Buffet I hope your secretary is reading!!!!
Staff was very friendly and helpful answered all of my questions. Beautiful place, very clean.
Rene was extremely helpful & made the touring process easy and enjoyable. I was already set on these apartments but I was completely sold after my experience with him.
I visited from out of town to apartment hunt and I had the best experience with Rene he was very informative and he made me feel very welcomed while touring. The amenities looked great and it’s at a great location to have everything close by. I will definitely will be reaching out again!
Rene has been great to work with through the touring process to signing the lease. Excited to move in!
The Core is a great apartment complex. Earon and Cristina are phenomenal! They are both very responsive, caring and helpful. The Core would not be the same without them. The maintenance crew resolves issues very quickly - and all of the maintenance workers are very nice.The units are spacious with walk-in closets. The location is convenient and near many restaurants.
I have consistently experienced the best residential support services of my life with the Core. The staff are friendly and helpful, and always have a smile on their faces. Anytime and every time I have submitted a maintenance request, I’ve received a prompt response - and the issue has been resolved within a day (although often it’s within a few hours!). Whether it was changing light bulbs, replacing/removing furniture, or servicing the plumbing and electricity, maintence quickly and thoroughly ensured that I have an optimal living environment. I intend to continue renting from The Core for the until I decide it’s time to buy a home, and I strongly recommend their properties to all; the neighborhood is safe, the community friendly, you couldn’t ask more of the staff, and the central location of the Washington Core complex (near so many many highway arteries of the city) makes it a sought after location. In some ways, a property management company can make or break the living experience, but with The Core, it’s honestly four stars in the service. I couldn’t be happier with my present accommodations and happily recommend it :)
Rene was awesome! We toured the place and he was very helpful and knew all the residents we saw along the way by their name, really shows he cares about them!
Please know they are unethical, and Earon is teaching her employees very conning business practices. They will go out of their way to impress you when you are looking for an apartment; however, they are immoral and shady once your lease is up.I had to dispute the fraudulent charges they reported to the collections agency. Thankfully, I had supported emails to prove their unethical charges and great credit to prove I pay my obligations/commitments. They do the very minimum to inform you of potential charges then use the minimal effort to say they informed you.Also, the shower/bath was unable to be used for over a month after it leaked on the tenant below me for 10 months (which she reported when I first moved in but they didn’t do anything about it until I moved out). They also did a walkthrough a day or two after my lease was done but continued to charge me rent.Be sure to get Earon’s (top manager) approval and not any other managers because she is the one that will swindle you.Lastly, the lack of security and non working cameras in the parking garage make for constant break-ins. My sister’s car was stolen off the first floor next to building 2 mail room and dog park (in view of the “pretend” cameras), which is when I found out the cameras actually don’t work.Response to below: Then you shouldn’t have APPROVED me returning the keys when I got back in town when I offered to overnight them to AVOID being charged. Furthermore, since it’s policy to charge me rent 🙄then you shouldn’t have done a walkthrough before I returned the keys.
If you are on the fence about where to move, look no further…this place is an absolute gem. Rene is a phenomenal leasing agent who made the leasing process so easy. I truly cannot say enough about how thankful I am to have connected with him when I was looking for a new place and had very little time to do so. He was so efficient and answered all my question…!
I have lived at the Core for almost a year now and have loved every second. The location is great, the amenities are nice and kept up as well as the staff/maintenance crew always being respectful. I have referred other people to live here as I love it so much.
Rene has been amazing!!!!! I absolutely love the core and all the residents. Very friendly and quick with maintenance, packages, and cleanliness.
I have a small business located near this place. The Core is always in pristine condition. The landscape of the apartment facility is consistently well-groomed. Amazing! I once stopped inside the front office to meet the property management team - and I must say, Cristina and Earon are sweethearts! Outstandingly charming folks! I love working near this place.
Props to William ! 1of the maintenance men… he keeps our pool and our hot tubs in excellent condition !!! Always paying attention too detail keeping things 🧽 clean . Thank u for all u do👍🤩
Received a very cold attitude from the staff while touring the building. Lost interest in renting a unit here.
Amazing property in the Perfect location. Just moved in and love the unit. Rene was a huge help from beginning to end, he made the process extremely smooth.
I have never had to look for an apartment, and this was my first experience. Bethany and the rest of the staff are very helpful and put my worries at ease. Bethany went beyond what was expected in terms of putting any concerns that I have to rest and answered all questions that I had. The apartment that I now have is clean and spacious and meet my needs nicely. New flooring and new appliances. Plenty of parking. Very happy here, and I think that my stay here will be a very pleasant one. The Core is located in a very convenient location where access to shopping and dining is within walking distance.
The Core is a pretty good spot to live in. The apartment units are very spacious. Very responsive and attentive when running into any maintenance issues.The staff also puts on events for the community and brings food trucks when there is no energy to cook.A great experience so far!
I moved into The Core a few months ago and have had a great experience living here so far. Bethany, Christina, and the rest of the leasing team were super helpful and responsive during the move-in process and are quick to respond to emails or calls. The maintenance team is also quick to respond to repair requests. Grounds and building are kept clean and great communication from the leasing team regarding ongoing activities/events.
I have lived at The Core for 3 years and have loved the sense of community, efficiency and help from the office staff, and timely manner of the fulfillment to each maintenance request Ive submitted. Im very grateful to have a patient and understanding team working in the leasing office that have been very accommodating. I enjoy the amenities and have met some of my close friends here at the pool, it is wonderful to have a friendly neighborhood feel in our complex.
Was looking for an apartment for my sister and brother in-law recently. The Core team was a huge help and knowledgeable about their facility. Brittany R helped us with the tour, leasing process, and setting our move in date. She was very nice and informative to their needs. The interior and grounds are great and the location is perfect. Love all the dog station throughout the complex. I highly recommend them for your next move in residence.
I love the location and the staff there are really friendly. I had an awesome tour and I will definitely come back with my family next time.
Went to visit this place and to apply was astonished by the help that was presented. Rene Salinas was very courteous and helped with everything that I needed to get the process done and answered all my questions and followed through with everything very nicely.
Rene Salinas was a big help for me, very personable and understanding! Just wish I could have received better news from upper management.
I love living here. The location and complex is amazing. One of my favorite parts is the staff here, theyre all so kind and helpful. Its always great running into staff around the complex, especially Walter. Hes so friendly and always ready to help!! He always answers any questions I have about my unit and the complex itself. I love the fact that the staff is so reliable!
I will preface this by saying I believe a lot of my issues fall back to having a leasing agent that was not very helpful. While the location is great and the apartment is nice enough, my entire move has been a headache. Based on the listed prices and specials I went into this knowing I was most likely going to lease here as long as the place was clean. My leasing agent made the process like pulling teeth when it could have been the easiest lease she got. From not returning phone calls, not showing me an A1 until 2 days before move in, not giving me the right information etc. Once I finally got into the unit, nothing was cleaned from the washer/dryer to the toilet. Then it took 6 days for someone to come in and make it move-in ready. After all of that, I am finally at a point where I can say I am comfortable with the unit but there are nicer more updated apartments throughout the area for the 1300/1400 price range. What keeps me satisfied is knowing that I was able to lock in a discounted rate and so far everything outside of the unit has been nice. Neighbors, location, noise, parking etc all great so far.Also, it is very obvious that a lot of the reviews on here are copy and pasted.
I’ve been living here for more than 3 year I love it here due to the fact that the property is always maintained clean, personnel is very friendly, location is great. I feel very safe living here.
The team has always been so helpful never have had an issue.
These apartments are in a great location and well maintained. My apartment had a spacious layout and being on the 4th floor my ceilings were high. Despite being in the city, close to restaurants I had minimal problems with pests. I loved living here so much. The amenities were good too. Shout out to the maintenance guys! They are one of the best aspects of the Core and keep everything running smoothly. Appreciate their time and effort in addressing any issues I ever had.
Rene Salinas did an excellent job going through the process of apartment shopping! Took his time with me and was genuinely nice! Great experience.
My husband & I have been living here for about 3 years and love it. The pools are beautiful and there are several dog parks making it easier to take care of the fur babies. Maintenance and management respond to questions or concerns in 24hrs or less. We have certainly enjoyed our time living here.
Core has been amazing to us!!!!! All these bad reviews are kinda comical
These apartments are absolutely beautiful. My boyfriend and I moved in a month or two ago and everything is going smoothly. The customer service is wonderful and so welcoming. Ive never had a problem with the staff and they are on top of everything. Marissa is such a doll for helping us and explaining everything very well! I would recommend these apartments any day!
I love The Core, beautiful and well kept apartments. The location is incredible, so close to many restaurants, walking distance and so close to many shops. It’s also so peaceful and quiet in the area. Maintenance is also very responsive. Cristina was amazing at helping me and husband since the beginning of our move in and the staff is very kind. Definitely recommend this place.
The Core is a beautiful property with lovely amenities. My apartment is very spacious, too! There are such great people that work at the office. Cristina helped me with my move in process she is amazing.
I’m new to the area and the leasing agent atThe Core office treat me with such compassion. I had a couple of things I needed after my move in and the maintenance guy I believe it Juan. I only remember that be I’ve never met an African American named Juan lol! Nevertheless, my work order was handled in a timely matter and the office even reached out to me following! Thank you for making my first experience with Houston a great one Core Apartments.
The Core has amazing staff. At the front desk, really nice, Earon, and Cristina too. I recommend 100% to move to this property! Amenities have cool stuff, and the housekeeper that cleans, always leave the office really clean, and she seems really nice too! And maintenance is also perfect too! This is the best property Ive toured and #1 too!
Stayed here for two years and had an excellent experience. Rene over in the leasing office always goes above and beyond.
What I love most about living here is the help. Jose is hands down the best handyman I have ever had living in a complex. He always has a smile on his face and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is operating smooth. He is the hardest worker I have met, but he never complains, even on the hottest days. All the staff is fantastic and I love knowing anything I need fix will be done in a matter of hours! This is a great location and a great place to live!
The Core is absolutely amazing! The office staff are extremely personable and will be sure to take good care of you as a tenant! Brittany Ray has been the most helpful staff member, really helping me with my move in and making the process a lot more easier.
Outdated and poorly maintained structure. The move-out process was nothing short of a nightmare. The sheer incompetence of the management made the already stressful experience of moving even more unbearable. They seemed completely unprepared, disorganized, and indifferent to the concerns of the tenants. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a place to call home.
I originally took a tour of The Core in December and Anna was so kind and helpful. The property is beautiful in design and I love all the dog stations on site. Anna continued to follow up with me until the perfect unit was available and was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process! If it wasn’t for Anna I probably would have ended up leasing somewhere else but she truly cared and reflects well on the management of the property.I would recommend checking out the Core as your future place of residence :)
I have been living here for a little over a year and I think its a great place to live. The leasing office staff and property managers are excellent. The maintenance staff handles all request pretty quickly and do a great job. You cant beat the location because it is close to everything here in Houston. I would recommend anyone to live here.
Rene is awesome! Super friendly and nice. Gave me a video tour and the place looks very well kept.
This location is good, but, what really makes this place special is the staff. Marisa has the patience of Job, and happily and patiently handles residents and requests promptly and with a smile. Earon is also amazing, and helps with requests that are not always normal.Even the maintenance guys, especially Jose, are great. I have lived here a little more than a year. I just renewed my lease happily.
Living here has been a wonderful experience! The neighborhood is great, the complex is clean and the residents are friendly. Most importantly, where you live is only as good as the people who manage it and ANNA has been amazing! She has been helpful solving any problem I’ve had and has even gone as far a recommending places to go and things to do when I first moved to Houston. Everything about this place is great from the neighborhood, to residents to staff. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to move 👍
Customer service was impeccable and answered everyone of my questions with a smile
I love my apartment and how close it was to everything. The staff is like family and truly love what they do. Maintenance was also quick to fix any repairs needed. Only reason I moved is because i bought a house. Definitely recommend The Core. You wont regret it!
This was the best complex and community I’ve ever stayed at! The apartment manager, Mrs.Earon, was always so helpful and understanding! She made sure my apartment was move in ready by the time I arrived to pick up my keys. She’s very attentive & proactive with updates and issues. Will definitely recommend this complex to anyone I talk to.
I recently moved to Houston and actually didnt visit The Core in-person before I signed the lease. I was referred by a friend and she FaceTimed me while meeting with one of the leasing office staff for a tour.Overall, you have friendly management; responsive, funny & friendly maintenance staff; spacious, quiet, well-kept apartments; access to I-10; proximity to restaurants, bars, parks, even the new HEB, in the Heights area; great community amenities like pools, hot tub, and dog parks; community events like food truck socials; 24 hour gym; parking garage that doesnt take 10 minutes to get out and spacious spots; and convenient package pickup system. I highly recommend if youre looking for your next apartment home.*I’ll provide another update after a few more months.
I moved to the Core a few months ago because of the wonderful location, various amenities and a great loft style apartment at an affordable price. I have been very happy here. The staff here is wonderful and make me feel like family.Erin, Chandler, Madison and Ana always greet me with a smile and are very attentive to the needs of residents, creating a great sense of community.If you have fur babies, particularly dogs, this is the place for you! We have a great dog park where the residents socialize while the dogs do the same. Great friends and lots of dogs having fun help me get over the stress of the work day. I think I look as forward to visiting the dog park as much as my boys do, as I have made so many good friends.I just wanted to say thank you to the Core for making my temporary home feel like home.
Great place to live in ! the property is so clean & it’ll help out a lot if the residents cleaned up after their pets ! I think it’s their own responsibility to clean after themselves or anyone that chooses to live with them, it only seems fair , but so far , a great place to live in, gorgeous apartments with amazing local stores & bars, 9/10 would recommend to live here , just please clean after your pets. Although we do have amazing workers like william , it would be really appreciated if everyone put in a little effort to have some respect for their workers, it’s the least we could do, clean up after yourself !
I’ve lived at The Core for just over 3 months now and love the property! Coming from an apartment complex that was rather unresponsive, The Core has done exceedingly well with any requests and inquiries.My recent maintenance request for an A/C issue was resolved within 24 hours; the staff was incredibly helpful.Also, Ashley & Madison are a couple of friendly faces in the office that are both intelligent and eager to help anyway they can.Awesome place to live!
Everyone that works here is super kind and helpful. Rene especially has been extremely helpful with my move in process, and I couldnt ask for a better experience!
Ive been living here for over a year and have no complaints! The staff is alway wonderful and kind. I have a lot of appreciation for Rene, he goes above and beyond to make sure Im accommodated. 😊
Thank you rene Salinas for help you did a great job I really appreciate it you the best
Have lived at the Core for a year now and decided to extend my lease because I like it so much here! Everyone in the leasing office is so friendly and helpful, the maintenance crew is quick to help with any issues you have. There are two pools, both of which a clean and relaxing. The fitness center is up to date and clean. Everything in the apartment is up to date.
I have been living at the Core for over a year, and I highly recommend this apartment community.Location is ideal, close to everiting you have grocery stores and restaurants in walking distance and I10 is just 2 lights away.Price is great for the amount of space these apartments have. Even their smallest 1 bedroom fits large furniture. The amenities are well kept and any request I have had has been completed very quickly.The residents I have meet are very friendly and the community is also pet friendly with a large pet park.Overall Im very happy with this community and will gladly renew my lease for an upcoming year. Also the staff is great specially Kenneth he is always friendly and professional.
Rene is an absolute delight! He was the host of my tour and made the experience 100/10! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I most definitely would.
Did not end up choosing apartment here, but the customer service was amazing. Brittany was predominately helping me through the process and went above and beyond. When I was not able to tour the property in person due to work, she sent me video and photos to show what the spaces looked like and followed up with me to ensure I had all of the information I needed to make my decision. If this is a place you are considering, I strongly recommend you ask to speak with Brittany.
Rene is so sweet and welcoming! Great tour and I really liked the building :)
Rene Salinas showed my husband and I around the apartment complex and he made this place feel safe and very welcoming! He answered all of our questions and had a lot of tremendous feedback to give. I cannot wait to call this place our new home!
I have lived in The Core for about a week. The move in process was extremely easy and management was very flexible with lease negotiations. There were a few issues with my unit (nothing major) and the maintenance department corrected them the same day I submitted the request. Overall I think the community is clean and presentable and Im proud to tell people I live there. As I was getting home yesterday, I noticed there is a security guard who patrols the parking garage and is stationed at the entrance - very comforting! The gym is large and kept really cold so its nice to workout there. I wouldnt really consider the 3 computers a business center when they dont even have Microsoft Office... I couldnt open anything in Word or Powerpoint for school. Seems like something that could be upgraded easily and for little cost. If you are seeking an apartment in a great location at a reasonable price, The Core should be on your list.
Ive lived at The Core for over 7 months now and it has been nothing but a great experience. You cant beat the price and the leasing agents and managers have always been super helpful. Chandler and Ashley are always really friendly and happy to help with everything. The only problem Ive ever had was a lightbulb went out and it was fixed the next day. Definitely planning on renewing my lease!
I dont usually review things but I had to tell about my experience with Anna. I came in to look for my next Houston home and loved the property. It is a beautiful place with an ideal location, but the real motivator behind my decision was the service I received from Anna. She was beyond helpful and has answered all 1 million of my questions. She has been prompt, honest, and gone above and beyond and IM NOT EVEN A RESIDENT YET. I can not wait to move in and I feel secure in my decision knowing such amazing people work at The Core. Thank You for making this madness called apartment hunting a little more bearable and dare I say enjoyable.
Awesome place to live. HEB, Bdubs and bars all right next to you. Amenities are always well maintained and not too crowded. Maintenance is very responsive, every time I’ve submitted a request it was addressed the next day. The leasing office staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
I received great assistance coming in to view 1 bedroom apts and the property at The Core. Tour was very thorough and I received a ton of helpful information and wonderful service from Representative Sandra. I loved the amenities. This is a place that is definitely on my list for my upcoming move!
I stopped into The Core today and Rene and Earon were awesome! They were so helpful and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them.
Great location. The apartments are nice inside and the location is great. Downside the elevators do not work all the time. The trash smells pretty bad. On the positive the gym is nice. The manager and staff are very nice. They fix things in a timely manner and nice neighbors. Parking is not ideal but they do have a garage. Visitors can park on the street.
Living at the core has been a great experience, we toured several communities but I’m glad we chose this one. The complex is beautiful and well kept up! It is in a great location and has nice amenities. The staff has always been helpful, friendly, and attentive. Will definitely be renewing here!
The Core is one of the best properties I have lived @ with a very competitive price for the area, trust me I looked around like crazy. Earon the property manager went above and beyond making sure I was super happy, it really felt like a family with a professional twist to it. She did everything she could to make the place safe, listened and hosted meeting to hear any complaints or room for improvements, I mean who does that? Thanks Earon. Maintenance was super fast, I mean like the same day. I would recommend anybody to experience The Core living.Antonio.
I’m not a resident, but I toured with Rene and he is extremely helpful, friendly, and seems to really care about getting things done for the residents! The unit we toured also looked great, and Rene provided solutions for any concerns that we raised
Very nice apartments! I don’t live here but my boyfriend does. Whenever I come to visit, the staff is always so polite and welcoming! Anna always greats me with a smile and warm welcome.I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a spacious and welcoming community.
Rene is the GOAT, he was exceptional and very informative about the area. He made my decision easy!!!!!
DO NOT MOVE HERE! On the first night of us moving there they stole the rims off our car, on the second floor of the garage parking. Keep in mind that you need a remote control to even get into the garage. If, you read older reviews, this is not the first time this happens. This has been going on for years. The cops that live here told me this has happened several times before and it is unlikely that they will find the person who did it, so it’s best to file a claim with our insurance (if we didn’t have the right insurance coverages this would have raised our rates and counted against us). When we complained to office they told us they would look at the camera and that this has been happening around the area. The best they could do was let us out of our lease (for the record we lived in other apartments less than half a mile away and this NEVER happened. Also, we never heard back from them regarding what they found on cameras). It doesn’t take a genius to realize, if you need a remote to get in the garage then obviously it’s someone who lives here. But, instead of hiring security to monitor the garage they’ll tell you they have police on site (only when they get off their shift, so obviously they’re not continuously monitoring the premises). The last straw was today when they stole/removed our bike from the balcony on the SECOND FLOOR! How?? This was after management sent several emails to tenants regarding things that couldn’t be left on the balcony (bikes were never mentioned). Save yourself the money and the stress and don’t move here. If, someone really stole our bike from the second floor, it’s scary to think that they could have entered our apartment to steal other things while my daughter and I were home. For the amount they charge, you can definitely find something better.
I have lived here for over a year now and dont plan to move anytime soon. The office staff has been pleasant to deal with. They are friendly and prompt. The maintenance guys are quick to fix issues and also do a good job keeping the common areas clean. I would recommend the core to my friends.
Love this place, way better than my old building. The staff and maintenance crew always address my needs in a timely manner. And the location is great! And astonishingly, I can barely hear the train! (that was originally a concern)All the restaurants and bars are a huge plus. And we have access to 6 Grocery Stores. (including Walmart and Target) And everything else is just down the street or near by. The bike paths near by are awesome. I can bike into downtown and beyond or to Memorial Park! (I usually just bike to breakfast/coffee though)And living near the Heights has the benefit of not flooding. The low streets/higways and bayous may flood. This place should stay high and dry.As for security, This is Houston. Put wheel locks (I think wheel locks are a must in this city)on your car. Dont leave your bike on your balcony and dont prop open a gate/door because you have a large group of friends over. Boom, problems solved.August 2023 will be 3 years,Still love this place, They are always doing maintenance on the building. Which is really nice to see. I am getting spoiled by the maintenance crew. So fast! I even ask them to clean my parking spot after my car leaked oil all over it. THEY DID IT! I dont think any other place would have done that. Just wanted to say thank you. And I hope to be here for a while longer.
I have been living here now for a few months and everything has been great. Its quiet and clean.My apartment is nice and spacious and I love the desk. Danielle was a great help in assisting my move in.
Updated Review: Its great to be home! As always, the staff at The Core has gone above and beyond! They not only checked on me when they saw a water leak during the winter storm but Earon stayed at the office till the late hours to address issues/concerns about the property. Ive lived other places but NO ONE takes care of their tenants like the staff at The Core!Chandler and the rest of the staff at The Core are simply amazing! They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. I had a problem with my AC and they fixed it the same day, as well as left me popcorn as a snack. I have never lived in a complex that has gone above and beyond like The Core has and absolutely love living here!
Im so in love with these apartments. My girlfriend and I were searching for a place. And we found this one. We have been living here for about 5 months now. We feel the staff here is very friendly. Im so happy we chose this complex. We couldnt have done it without the sweet girl Marissa. I would highly recommend these apartments!
The Core Apartment on Washington ave staff was super helpful and welcoming when we went to see an apartment for my brother. Anna was who assisted us and showed us the space. Aha made the process easy and to the date is always there to help with anything.We loved the interiors and facilities. Location is unbeatable as it is close to everything. Highly recommended.
Awesome atmosphere to live in. So many places nearby that are convenient and walking distance like shopping and restaurants. Office staff is very helpful too.This is an awesome enviroment.
After a long drive in from Austin, Chandler was able to find me a great apartment in no time. She was extremely knowledgeable about all of the floor plans, rental process, and offered great insight. The property itself was immaculate and very welcoming.
Enjoyed living here—very nice pool area and facilities. Package system is super easy and convenient, available 24/7, safe, and overall better than any apartment Ive lived at. Good staff, prompt maintenance team, and great location make this a wonderful place to live.
So far so good! My move in went very good, the staff is extremely helpful. I was allowed to to pick up the keys a day earlier than expected. Chandler did a amazing job from start to finish. This is by far one of the best experiences I’ve had moving in. Thanks Chandler and staff!
I am a current resident and I thought it would be helpful to share my experience for anyone thinking about living in this place. It appears very nice from the view you are shown on the tour, and the price is cheaper than anywhere near the location. Well there is a reason for that. Management does a terrible job with this building. They recently scheduled a major bathroom maintenance in my apartment without even telling me. I came home from a vacation and my apartment was a construction site. Not even a phone call warning telling me to hide my valuables. Im still not sure if the workers stole anything or not, because the job isnt done 7 days later. The office never even came close to apologizing...excuse after excuse. I cannot wait until my lease is done. This place is cheap, but it should be dirt cheap.Also, the hallways are covered in dog poop, the trash chutes stink, the entire building is just disgusting, there are always break-ins. Its as if I am paying a ton to live in the projects. I wouldnt recommend the Core to my worst enemy.
I had a great tour with Rene! He was very informative and welcoming.
