The Arts at Ocean Drive

I can’t write a review for living here but I did go to tour the apartments after setting up an appointment. They were responsive the first two days but after I had to reschedule because of work, they became radio silent. I texted and called them and never got a response. I arrived for my appointment and the doors were locked. I called yet again and was sent to voicemail with no attempt to call me back. Not a good look.

DO NOT LIVE HERE! BREAK YOUR LEASE IF YOU DO!! Where do I begin, everything about living here has been a nightmare. Within the first month of moving in, a resident got into an altercation with us because the office failed to correlate PARKING SPACES. So don't buy into those reserved parking spots, it's nothing but a sham. The staff is so incompetent they managed to mess up assigning you to the spot you live in. Not to mention I moved in here late April and my AC has been broken since May 18!... I've seen 3 different maintenance men who all claim they needed a part they don't have. You'd think after the first guy they'd order it but apparently they're missing common sense too. Then again the staff changes every other week so we're just in a cycle of complaining our ac is broken, a maintenance man inspecting it, ordering a part, and repeat. It's honestly astounding how they've managed to do nothing in so much time. I don't know why I'm writing this when another manager will be in next week give me the same run around with an insincere apology. I'm honestly so sick of this place. I thought this place was going to be home, where I felt happy and safe but all I've felt in the past few months being here is stress and anger. DO NOT MAKE THIS PLACE YOUR HOME!!! You can get a cheaper, nicer, and more organized apartment anywhere else in Corpus! Living here will just result in you losing your rights as a tenant and living in agony. The staff lacks organization, leadership, and above all commitment. Doing far less than the bare minimum to make their residents lives easier and happier. Lee mas

The office promised to “waive” certain fees of the month in advance. At the end of the lease they insisted we pay over a 1,000.00 because the person at the Leven group did not agree and said they office should not have waived that. I just got a bill of over $320.00 for a clean out fee after they took the deposits and they sent me to collections. I have spotless credit and this was a nightmare. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

This property has gone from bad to worse in the two years we’ve lived here. Since seeing the property to new owners, I’ve seen people move out left and right prior to the end of their lease, neighbors complain about the same problems, and a lack of care or concern from the staff and manager. The price isn’t worth it. They keep putting bandaids on things when the place just needs to be ripped down.

If you are thinking about living here at The Arts Apartments on Ocean Drive I am here to tell you that you will LOVE IT HERE.. ??

My partner John and myself(Thomas) have lived here for 3 years now and have really enjoyed the whole community. This complex is well taken care of and we feel safe. Besides having tight parking spaces it is well worth the trade off for being able to live right on the waterfront.
