DO NOT MOVE IN HERE
WORST PLACE TO LIVE IN!!! I'm warning you! There's RATS! This place is infested with rats and roaches! ?? there's no security what so ever... Way overpriced for the quality of the apts. oh and there's trash EVERYWHERE!
Property Manager at Las Velas at Hillcroft, Responded To This Review
We have weekly pest control services and a part time courtesy officer on a rotating schedule. Our service team spends time every morning picking up the grounds and we've placed rubbish containers throughout the property for the convenience of our residents. We're sorry that this reviewer had a bad experience. Las Velas at Hillcroft was a finalist for the Houston Apartment Association Property of the Year in 2019. Our property manager won Manager of the Year. We think you'll find that this review does not accurately reflect our property in 2019.

Terrible everything
Management is rude and tries to scam you out of money especially if there's a language barrier. It's very unsafe there are always gun shots in and around the complex. The "security guard" is either never there or sleeping in his car. Broken utilities were a mainstay and getting them fixed was a chore. I do not recommend anyone stay here.
Property Manager at Las Velas at Hillcroft, Responded To This Review
Our staff is bilingual English/Spanish and always has been so we can cater to all residents. We do not feel this review accurately represents Las Velas at Hillcroft, but are sorry you seem to have had a bad experience. Las Velas at Hillcroft was a finalist in 2019 for the Houston Apartment Association Property of the Year and we are very proud of our manager for winning Manager of the Year. Of course, she had a great team around her to be able to accomplish this high professional honor. We'd be honored if you gave Las Velas at Hillcroft a look. Stop by anytime and check us out!

Major renovation.
This apartment has improved dramatically over the last year or two. New management has upgraded both exterior and interiors. Add that to the great location and amenities, and Las Velas has become the best apartment in the area. Found the staff very friendly and professional as well.
Property Manager at Las Velas at Hillcroft, Responded To This Review
Thanks so much for the great review and noticing all the work we've completed! We work hard to provide the best service and best value in our area.

Turn-Around From Former Poor Management
I've been watching this place improve for over a year. Immediately noticed landscaping upgrades and stopped in a few weeks ago and the exterior is really looking good under the new management. I have been transferred out of town since then, but I would consider another look here if I return to Houston.
11/2/16
Best Apartment in the Area
I used to drive by this place all the time and never thought to live here, due to the condition. I noticed a major improvement earlier this year and decided to check it out. Apparently they changed owners and management. When touring the model, I was amazed. It looked like a brand new apartment (new appliances, wood floors, new ac). I moved in in July and I am loving it! I can't wait to use the new pool in the spring.
Property Manager at Las Velas at Hillcroft, Responded To This Review
We appreciate the great review! We are unique in the area, as we focus on value and great service, combined with beautiful apartments and amenities.

Candlewick Apts
I have been living at the Candlewick Apts for almost a year now its a second chance apartment complex for people with borken leases,and some eviction. That's one of my reasons for staying their and it was the cheapest thing i can fine as a single mom trying to make do with what i have. Maintenance is ok its not many of them but they get the job done for the most part.
Property Manager at Las Velas at Hillcroft, Responded To This Review
Las Velas at Hillcroft has been under new management since late August 2015, so much of this review is no longer the case. What is still accurate is that we're the best value (beautiful apartments, new AC units, competitive rents, best service) in the area. Our maintenance team aims for resolution of any issues within 72 hours of an issue being reported, with most being handled sooner than that. We have a great community and a caring staff that strives to be the best and exceed expectations.
