Aug 2019: This place has never had a clean parking lot in the last seven months! They WILL NOT spray for BUGS!
DO NOT MOVE HERE, I HAVE MTIPLE TENANTS AS ACQUAINTANCES AND FAMILY.....all have the same problems. FILTH! Review from Google Jul 2019: Glad we moved out. The previous manager, Jessica, stole several packages and was seen by many of us residents, opening packages that were labeled for residents and past residents. Office was constantly locked early unless the leasing agents were working, otherwise you could count on no one working. I moved in here when I first started college in 2015 and the management was great for the first two years, and went downhill from there. So happy to be moved out. Review from Google Jul 2019: Lived here for a year last year and the apartments were decent. However the low rating is because management was extremely rude most of the time. Random charges seem to “pop up†out of nowhere so read your bill! They will “mistakenly†charge you for things or “miscalculate†your rent showing that you under paid. Also beware on move out. They will say that the apartment looked great and advise you that all your balances are paid and to expect the deposit back in the mail. Don’t trust them! There will be more fees after move out (even though we were told last rent covers those fees) They will say they “attempted to call and collect a debt†but in reality they don’t. They don’t contact you, they just send you to collections, and say there is nothing they can do. I think it’s ironic that they claim to have called several times to contact me and they couldn’t get through. They had no trouble getting through when I was a resident. It’s not worth the headache. Review from Google Jul 2019: By far the worst apartment complex I’ve ever lived in. They are so unorganized and unprofessional. There are many reasons why I would never recommend this place to anyone but one reason was when they sent a flyer out that said if you see anyone not picking up their dogs poop then you need to take a picture of them and report it to the front office and you’ll get a $50 gift card. I understand that you want people to pick up after their dog but to basically stalk other people to do it? What is wrong with these people? They honestly have no idea what they’re doing. Another example is when they decided to repave the parking lot and close off anyone from parking. Again, they did this so unorganized. It was delayed so the “schedule†they handed out wasn’t correct and so instead of sending out mass text to let people know when they’re working on which parts and keep people updated, like they should, they’re just saying nothing Review from Google Mar 2019: Paid pet deposit got new management said I never paid the 300 which I did when we first moved in plus restroom door broken and carpet was messed up now being forced to pay them for the stuff that was already broken when I moved in..... ugh wish I never came here stay away they treat you like shit and you pay for damages you didn’t do it’s annoying and very stressful . Mar 2019: Yup lived here and the office staff are very much rude go in the office to get packages that were delivered and I’m basically getting yelled at it’s annoying can’t wait to move out here . Mar 2019: Lived there when it first opened. Pool is virtually worthless. Very tiny, more so for children. Price was way too high for supposedly having the "blanco river" running behind your property. It was a lie. The river was as dry as dry could be. You're Better off living in a rental home. A lot of fake marketing gimics to make you think it's super nice. Feb 2019: The office staff is very rude and disrespectful. Every time I call the office for prices, they will hang up on you and not give you the time of day. Do not lease here if you want to deal with terrible management. Review from Google Nov 2018: Quiet, nice, great maintenance goes above n beyond at times, floor options, nice clean pool, very professional staff in office. Review from Google Nov 2018: AAA Roofing did $1600 worth of repairs in August 2018 on the Blanco River Lodge and now in Nov we are still trying to get paid. We are now planing on filing a small claims law suit and a mechanics lien to try to get our money form them. Before doing work for this place be sure you understand how hard it is to get them to pay. Nov 2018: We did a $1600 roof repair job in August and still can not get the place to pay us. I really do not believe they ever intended to pay. Next week we will be filing a small claims law suit and a mechanic's lien on the property. Since they have section 8 units we are also notifying HUD of their fraudulent activity. The apartments were up against a HUD inspection and needed the repairs quickly and we did that for them but now they don't pay. Be careful if you do business with this place. Review from Google Apr 2018: don't move here. The maintenance never comes, they attack you with hidden fees, and they care far more about making an extra dollar than making the customer happy. Once you sign the lease you're screwed. Been forced to live here for the past two years and it's been by far my worst experience with a company and they're only getting worse as they install new management every few months. Apr 2018: I do not usually write reviews, and I especially would never write a negative one, but I am so frustrated that I honestly don't know what else to do. I moved here in August of 2016 and immediately had some issues with maintenance, but nothing too bad. I am not sure if management changed or what happened, but the entire environment of the complex is completely different now. I am a quiet, clean tenant who pays her rent every month on time. My lease is up at the end of this month and I am now being forced to pay an extra TWO MONTHS of rent ($2,000) because they are claiming that I never provided notice that I was moving complexes. I know this is false, however, because I provided written notice in late FEBRUARY that I was leaving. They will do anything they can to fine you as well. When I moved from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom apartment, I was given a bill of $50 Apr 2018: Love the location love the apartment. But when it comes to management and maintenance just HORRIBLE. could not wait to leave. Might as well camp out in the office with Javier and personally walk with him to make sure anything gets done. Review from Google Feb 2018: I have lived at the blacno river lodge apartments for one year now! And I love it! And anytime I have a issue of any kind Javier is quick and wonderful when taking care of anything that occurs! If i could rate this place a 10 i would most definitely!! Review from Google Feb 2018: Management is helpful and welcoming.
Quality of complex matches awesome price.
All my neighbors are polite and courteous.
Maintenance is outstanding!!! Every time i put a work order in, even a major one, its done within 3 days. David is the man! Review from Google Feb 2018: Love living here, maintenance is amazing!! The manager is always friendly and here whenever you need him. I would recommend Blanco to anyone!! Review from Google Feb 2018: Love it here! Management is amazing. Lived here for over a year and renewed my lease. Was the easiest process. Quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, no issues ever. Maintenance is always prompt. Will be here for a while!!! Review from Google Nov 2017: I LOVE THE BLANCO RIVER LODGE APTS
When my daughter moved it the manager was so so. But Javier took over and he just made her stay great. Javier, is awesome. I really do feel comfortable with my daughter living with Javier being the manager. My parents even loved the place and liked Javier. Some may not agree but in my book Javier IS AWESOME, GREAT, CARING, & A BLESSING. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK JAVIER Review from Google Aug 2017: The apartments themselves are pretty nice. The living room is spacious, the rooms are decently large, the appliances are moderately new. However, be EXTREMELY careful when dealing with the management here. They will lie to you without thinking twice. Javier told us to go ahead and apply and pay the fees, because a unit had "just opened up!" Turns out, there was no open unit. At all. He told me he was "banking on the people living there moving out". We were told to give him a few days to "work things out" else he would refund us our money since he blatantly lied to us. It has been 3 weeks, I have yet to see any of my money, and every time I call he says they "just mailed it out". However, this is just my subjective experience. My word of warning though: Be very, very careful when dealing with this complex. For the price you can probably find be Review from Google Aug 2017: I have lived at these apartments for the past 2 yrs and I have to say they are poorly ran. The apartments themselves are nice but becoming too expensive for the size and managers are always adding on unnecessary fees to your monthly bill due to their lack of management. They don't except your rent if your a $1 short and will wait til the last minute to tell you so you will have to pay late fees. Me and my sister lived in a 2 bedroom and when she moved out in October of last year we were told we owed $500+ for rent from Feb we never had any late fees nor eviction notices she had to go to her bank and find the check she paid with that they "lost" to clear that total. My experience at these apartments has been financially draining and I will NOT be renewing my lease and I do not recommend to anyone! Review from Google Jun 2017: BEST OF ALL ! Has back door which leads to Blanco River ! Has 2 BHK & 3 BHK apartments & also a pool woth GRILL to cook stake 😂👌ðŸ¼ðŸ‘ðŸ¼ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ ! Also the GYM IS SOMEWHAT MAINTAINED BUT THE SNOOKER TABLE IS THE BEST !
Review from 6/3/17 on Google May 2017: I've only lived here two weeks and have piled on the pros and cons of this place. I'll start with the cons, our apartment once had animals. Before we lived in it, I can tell my all the dog hair all over the apartment (they were supposed to have cleaned it?) literally everywhere from the closets to INSIDE THE DRYER. The carpets REAK of animal smell. It smells so bad it makes The Whole apartment stink. These carpets should have been replaced before we moved in, I'm pretty sure that's why they collect a $200 pet fee and $25 a month for "pet rent".
Review from 5/21/17 on Google Apr 2017: Great place to live. Very comfortable and clean. I also love that it is right on the river. I lived here during two major flood events. Thankfully we didn't have any problems at the apartments. Unfortunately many of the neighborhood was not as lucky.
Review from 4/23/17 on Google Feb 2017: We are just resigning our lease for the next year. This has been the absolute best apartment complex I have lived in. We've only ever had to put in 2 services requests and they were both addressed that same day. The apartments themselves are beautiful and quality made. The premises are surprisingly quiet for the most part (save for some occasionally loud neighbors and obnoxious cars), far better than anywhere else I've lived. The grounds are kept tidy and personally, I enjoy the fitness center, albeit small, it enough to get a decent workout.
