Historic landmarks like the Lee County Courthouse reside in the heart of Giddings, along with an array of local businesses and conveniences from locally owned restaurants and markets to antique shops and banks.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

      Great place to live

      Have lived here for 4 months and it has been a great experience. Dog friendly with a big field to let them run. It is older, but they have put in new dishwashers and refrigerators. Staff is very friendly and work orders are completed in a timely manner. For the price, its a great place to live that is clean and safe, with plenty of lighting.

      Horrible

      I live at the apartments and nothing gets fixed just a paint job to make the broken stuff look fixed, very shady people that work there. Apartments are built horribly and fall or break apart. They don’t let you know if maintenance comes and they will walk in your apartment and go through your stuff to see if your doing anything wrong! If move here I suggest getting cameras and it’s not for thieves, but the people that work there!

      Property Manager at Shade Tree Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review

      I am so sorry to hear about your experience here. Sounds like you had a horrible experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. it looks like you lived here back in 2018. We have new ownership for a little over two years now and a new manager who has been here since 9/2019. We have cleaned things up quiet a bit and hope one day, if you have already moved out, that you would give us another chance. If there is anything else we can do to make Shadetree a better living experience please reach out to the leasing office as we would welcome any kind of feedback. Thanks and have a blessed day!
