Whispering Pines Ranch

We moved to the Houston area so I could participate in a career transition program leaving the military. Cathy was able to get us situated with a short term lease option so that our family could live in a nice safe place during my internship. We were in a recently updated apartment and were happy with the upgrades and cabinetry. Management hosts community meetings and various family events throughout the year.

Residents have a part in their community upkeep, which I feel is important to any… community you belong to. Everyone plays a part in disposing of their trash properly and taking care of their animal droppings. While the property had occasionally had an issue with the trash compactor, it was generally resolved quickly. The rent from what I could tell was on par with the area, gas and grocery are right across the street.

I'm happy and thankful for Cathy and her team members to have a safe place for my family. I ended up with an offer to stay in Houston full time, and if it wasn't such a commute and we were looking to rent, we would stay. Read More

This place is advertised as a luxury apartment, it is not. The complex is maintained by a couple of men who try as they might are not keeping the property up to par. There are musty smells broken facilities and the exterior is horrendous. Don't get me started on the trash situation, it's unsanitary conditions every weekend, people literally pile their trash on the side of the building and it's really bad. Look closely if you drive though, you can see the property is barely hanging on. Parking is… horrible most nights when conning home around 8pm we have no parking even remotely near our building. If you need a place to live, I would just advise people to look closely and see your actual apartment before signing a lease. Unfortunately we did not have that option, we are now paying to get out of our lease because of all these problems, among other issues that are being handled with the office. Read More

I went to the leasing office to ask for a tour for a vacant apartment that I have already seen in apartment.com, the lady in the leasing office I don’t know her name.. she has brown hair until shoulder..she didn’t ask me to sit.. or welcome..she was talking like a record that she don’t know! It was really strange and road ... if she don’t know ..who will know..is it me...I wonder what’s her job.. is it to make it difficult or make it easy for customers.. this is only mean that she is racist or… she is keeping the vacant for somebody..!!

If you are looking for a fair and balanced approach to your valid misunderstandings or grievances, this may not be the place for you as management looks at all things through its prism ---there is no room for discussion. And they know that you have no real option but to take it ---or move?
If you don't mind looking at piles of white plastic trash bags filled with everyone's garbage in the heat of summer, every weekend, stacked four feet high outside THE ONLY TRASH ENCLOSURE AREA FOR THE WHOLE… COMPLEX, this might be the place you call home.
If your familiar with the concept of LANDLORD & SERF, and you don't mind playing the role of serf, this might be the place for you.
If you don't mind setting your watch to the TWIN RODENTS who show up at around 6:00 each night and run down the side of the pool area every evening during the summer, this might be the place for you. Note: The rodents appear to be very well fed, possibly from the STACK OF STINKING TRASH BAGS BY THE ONLY TRASH ENCLOSURE FOR THE WHOLE COMPLEX.
If you don't mind running out of space on the check-in sheet because there are just too many items to list, this might be the place for you. Keep in mind this is the same sheet that management will use against you when you move out ---there is no room for discussion, as they will say you should have listed it.
If you expect staff (that means everyone below the GM) to be nice and have a cavalier approach to work, this might be the place for you. Read More
