Fairway Square

I’ve lived here for more than 2 years now. Used to be great with no problems, but ever since Tarantino properties took over it has been a horrible and anxiety inducing experience. They always leave the gate open, even when they “fixed it” and gave everyone the same passcode to enter. Rent used to go up by $5 per renewal, now goes up by $50. They will make changes to the sections of your lease that outline the terms for payment and include that they are able to do so as long as they give you notice. They will also make changes to other portions of the lease you would have already signed. The management will treat you like a child and demean you if you give any pushback instead of discussing it with you like a person. They will also often tell you to call corporate for basic issues with the lease because there is a lack of communication between corporate and management — it seems that management only does what they’re told, they never know any details. Of course in this system the profit motive is often going to be money, but they’re making it painfully obvious that they don’t care about giving you a place to live that is of good quality; they only care about getting your hard earned money so they can continue to buy properties and take advantage of the working class. There are many more issues, but I would be writing a book if I kept going.

This place was great when I first moved in a little over a year ago. Then when the managers had to leave and the property got sold to new owners everything started falling apart. They put the incompetent office assistant in charge during a strange limbo where nobody was really in charge. After the big freeze we were without hot water for a month and we all thought that they just weren't doing anything about it because we were poorly informed throughout the ordeal and then told that we don't even have a right to know they're just doing us a courtesy by telling us. They also fired what seems to be the only competent maintenance person here. Nick was awesome and got stuff done. Now all that's left is the other guy and all I see him doing is cleaning the pool we can't use and walking around on his phone. Every time someone tries to complain the new owners deny that there's any incompetence and that these people have been doing a good job. From what I understand none of the tenants think that. We are all mad. We are all tired. I strongly recommend finding another complex to live in as of right now. Don't get stuck in a lease with this severely mismanaged, once good but now broken, aggravating apartment complex.

I have lived at Fairway Square Apartments since 2013, and I have always felt at home. However, with that being said, since the change of ownership and management, this place has greatly improved! When I recently decided to move upstairs from my downstairs apartment, the staff was extremely accommodating. It is so peaceful and quiet, and I feel safe living here. This is a close-knit community where everyone speaks and looks out for one another. The fact that the CEO and CFO are available and accessible is such a blessing! They are usually outside and are very personable, and they interact with the residents. I love Don, Michael, Zee, and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend!

I have lived here for a year now. I can NOT tell you how happy and proud I am.to call this, Home. The new Owners and our amazing Management and CEO/CFO have always been so polite and helpful. They have activities in the Clubhouse daily and the laughter is just wonderful. The laundry room is always open and clean. The pool has been so much fun. They are out there every day and spend time with all the residents. I'm telling you, this is a Home not an apartment complex. I highly recommend anyone that wants a family and a real home, this is yoir place.

The management is completely unprofessional.if you have any issues, they try to make it seem like it's your fault. Unless it's life or death; don't hold your breath waiting to have something repaired. The maintaince man & Zee are the only good things about this property. Management again is completely unprofessional. Their priority is smoking cigarettes and socializing with a group of elderly people. You cannot walk into the office without walking thru a dense fog of cigerette smoke & vaping smoke. The smell in the office is so horrific it will make you vomit. You cannot use the business center as all the elderly people take all the chairs for their games. You can't swim in the pool unless you want to be stared down by creepy old men. The back of the complex has nothing but criminal activity. Drug dealers. The management is most likely customers as they know this criminal activity is going on and they do nothing about it. Ever since this management duo have been employed here, these Apt's have gone down the tubes. There are sewer leaks everywhere, the city of Alvin does nothing about them. These apts have a serious black mold problem, roach infestation, rat infestation and are complete trash.. do not bother renting here.

When your looking for an apartment, what matters? Is the place clean, does work orders get done fast, is the staff friendly, a safe place to live, is the pool clean and open, is the rent affordable. I can say yes to everything! An the manager doesn't make you feel like the only time you matter is lease time. I thought it would be different having a guy for a manager but he is really nice and if you have a problem he listens! I hope the owners know what a great guy they have here also. But I do like it here very much.

I have lived here for 4 years and like it. have to move for job but had to say something before I move. The manager is really cool and the others have always been nice to me. Its kept clean, never have any problems with crime. My girl friend says its the safest apartments in Alvin.

I can't say enough about this place, you wont find anything nicer or safer then Fairway Square Apartments. I took my time looking for just the right home for me and my family, which included contacting local police department about how many times they are called out to the apartment community. Fairway Square by far had the less amount of call outs. The management staff Don & Michael and always friendly and welcoming, and I never feel like I'm taking up there time. Maintenance seems to handle things very quickly! Zee the cleaning lady always keeps the grounds looking clean! You don't see the pool closed for days or that green water that seems to be in a lot of pools around here. One thing I really like is when it comes time to renew my lease I'm not hit with $$$ increases. Don't get me wrong the rent go's up but not like other apartment communities. It's gated and has an intercom system that calls your phone to let your family in. What else can I say but drive by and you'll see what I'm talking about. I lived here 3 years and love it!! Tell them Kathy sent you :)
