1625 Highland Village Apartments

"Ok place if you like to live in the getto."

"Where do I start okay so there are homeless people everywhere I was waiting to see a apartment and I seen a dude go in a empty apartment like it was his dude even closed the door behind him. The grounds are nasty and the apartments are below filthy I saw a two bedroom apartment and it looked like they hadn't moved or cleaned the apartment since 2005. I'm just dumb founded on how they show you a apartment and it's not even decent enough to make you want to even consider a place here. Oh and the windows either busted out or shot out, the laundry room included. The parking lot is messed up too,the owner say they can't change the outside of the buildings because it's in a historical district but at least they could fix up the insides honesty the only good thing I saw was the grass was cut."

"A lot of people just wondering around, looking all in the window a of every car. Maintenance man needs to be replaced. Does as little as possible"

"Maintenance man does best to keep property operational Alit of kool people live here"

"29 years ago, 1625 Centenary Gardens (Now called Highland Village Apartments) was the first home I ever knew, and I grew up in these apartments until I was fourteen years old. Looking back on it now, I think I took this place for granted. I had childhood friends here of almost every type. Now, as a full grown adult, I find myself just begging to go back. I don't know why. Back when the apartments were actually working/functioning like they should, this apartment provided a lot of room and comfort as a two-bedroom and one bathroom apartment. Some of the buildings were two floors, some were single floors. Some had stairs outside the kitchen door going down to the bottom level if you lived on the second floor. There was a heater built into the bathroom. The bathroom (which was of decent size) had a balcony where you could enjoy fresh air and overlook the parking lot and even over into the next neighborhood. The bathroom also had a storage closet that you can almost step into. I remember playing in that closet as a child. There was a humongous ceiling fan right at the top of stairs. The kitchen was a decent size, but if four people were in there at once, you'd have a hard time moving. The kitchen also had a fan built into the wall, I guess designed to blow out all the smoke from cooking. I don't know. When growing up we rarely used it or allowed it to be open. There was access to a washing machine and dryer coin service sort of positioned in the middle of the of the area. I don't think we ever had an issue of clothes theft but when our washing machine was ever down, we just used that. I made a lot of friends here. Neighbors were really nice. It seemed like the grass was extra green. There were tons upon tons of huge pink flower bushes everywhere. Bees and wasps were also everywhere, but it felt like a field of imaginations when growing up. I went back to the apartments for the very first time in 2015. I just wanted to recapture my childhood and it was a very emotional experience. One of the buildings has been torn down. All the flower bushes are completely gone. the bathroom balconies were replaced. Crime has infested the area badly. One of the residents told me not to live here. He said a knife was pulled on him, that the doorknob jiggles, and that prostitutes are everywhere. He was in the process of moving out in two weeks with his wife and child. When I heard this, I ran back to my car and left. There are Crime Stopper and Neighborhood Watch signs around the building. It's so sad what happened here, but I think they're in the process of remodeling...AGAIN, so who yeah."
