TriVista on Speer Apartments

I'll start by saying the staff here are friendly and the building is nice with good amenities. Unfortunately there are several quality of life issues that I don't think anybody can expect to ignore considering the extra high cost of living in a downtown luxury building.

First off this is located directly downtown on Speer so there's inherent issues with congestion and traffic which can normally be walking to wherever you want to go downtown, however, for the vast majority of the past year one... of the two available garage entrances to the buildings parking has been out of order and it happens to be the only one that leads to a two way street. With the other one being inconveniently located on a one way street you have a singular option for entering or exiting the garage and the building is too cheap to have the foresight to keep extra parts for the garage on hand knowing full well that it will take months these days to get replacements. Couple all of that with the fact that this entrance shares a through street with a Starbucks and I have literally had to wait in a Starbucks drive through line multiple times just to get home and park. None of this is to mention if movers, or trash pickup, or inconsiderate Uber drivers or whatever else decides to even partially block this singular entrance/exit in which case you are screwed.

The second major problem is that within this same year the building failed to maintain their pipes during the winter, causing the sprinkler system to malfunction, setting off false fire alarms throughout the entire building. This happened over several months, on random days, for random intervals of time sometimes spanning several consecutive minutes, of having multiple blaring alarms in my unit located not 15 feet from my head going off with no way to silence them.

It's also worth noting that this building is occupied by mostly younger people, which is fine, but you WILL have people drunkenly yelling in the halls outside your door on the weekend and stomping around until 3 am in the unit above you. That may not bother some people but just be aware that this is a very active and very loud building.

Lastly just about every point of business I needed to take care of with the front office took several attempts wether it was validating my renters insurance or getting forms filled out for a new lease what have you, I had to exchange multiple e-mails every time and eventually could only resolve my business by going down to the office and h Read More

I've been here since it opened in 2019. It was great then and is great now. Just about everyone is a pleasure to deal with. Neighbors are polite but not nosy. Terrific outdoor amenities, especially Sky Deck with grilling stations and fire pits. The gym is 2 Story. Lots of people have dogs. I rarely hear any noise from other apartments (you do hear people when talking in halls). New Maintenance team which is very responsive and cordial.

As a current resident of this complex, I would not recommend anyone to live here. Many of the issues are well documented with some of the reviews below. Since the changeover in ownership and management, there has been a noticeable decline in almost everything, particularly the quality of the leasing office. Since the new management has taken over, there have been billing issues (double-charged for things like utilities that took way too much time to resolve when it was extremely... straightforward), removal of amenities, instituting new parking charges when parking was theoretically already included in the cost of rent, and now they are increasing the rents out of line with market rent. When I pointed out the rent at this complex versus their peers, they just stated that this was "standard industry practice," which it's not. It's gone from a a management team that really fostered a sense of community to now every decision is just about "how can we make more money." Due to poor planning on my part, I didn't leave myself enough time towards the end of my lease to find another apartment and ended up signing an extension... which I very much regret. Read More

Great staff. Great building, nice apartment, everything is prefect

Loving it here so far. Thrilled with how quickly maintenance responds to request. The community is quiet and well kept.
