Tenant Reviews for 10220 MEMORIAL DR

Very unique experience for Houston. Beautiful grounds, quiet and very safe. The first time we toured the facilities we knew we wanted to live here and Memorial Creole lived up to our expectations. Great neighbors as well. Truly had a stress free experience for the 3 years that we lived here. My wife and I would recommend Memorial Creole to anyone.

This is a very unique place, within the loop, in a private community and well beyond anything I had hoped to find. I relocated to Texas from Minnesota 2 years ago, and interviewed several potential rental options. ONLY this one offered "flats" instead of cookie cutter apartments down long dark hallways that had ad hoc parking, "swinging singles" aloof "caretakers" and everything else I abhorred about apartments. Instead, I was welcomed by a tremendously caring and meticulous management staff from application to daily maintenance. These gentlemen run a tight ship, keep the apartments, pools, grounds and common spaces impeccably well groomed - and are accessible with the care and attention I would only expect as if my own dad was running the place. This is special. It is a small, private, secure, and magnificently maintained neighborhood. I referred my daughter here when she relocated as well. The property manager knows our names, our interests, our apartment numbers, and greets us by name when he introduces us to new residents. It is an amazing property, and a privilege to live here. I recommend it HIGHLY.

Exceptional property with outstanding school for zoning. Quite neighborhood feel that is definitely unique compared to any other property in Memorial. Flawless landscaping and amazing customer service from the staff. The manager is absolutely outstanding. A true hidden gem of a property

It's fantastic! A secret gem. 2 pools, lovely neighbours, quiet and well cared for. So many different floor plans but all thoughtfully considered. We really appreciate the mature flowering plants and architecture. It is always a joy to come home to.

What a wonderful community! I lived at Memorial Creole for 6 years from 2007-2013. I say "community" because you feel like you're in a community, not in an apartment complex. It's the best place I've ever lived! Robert, the property manager, cares immensely about the residents and is very hard working and professional. It's a very quiet environment with what I call "quality" residents. Fortunately, it's rather hidden from the street so one probably wouldn't notice it driving down Memorial Drive. It's very homey and quaint on the exterior with mature and manicured landscaping, but very updated on the interior. They're not the usual big boxy buildings sitting on a large, sterile parking lot. If I'm "painting" an appealing, pleasant picture, well that's what it's like to live there! The location is excellent in Memorial, one of the best areas of Houston with a renowned school district and easy access to I-10, 610, Galleria and downtown. I kept hearing "location, location, location" while I lived there, and it's true! It's centrally located, not too far from any part of Houston. I used to take the quick, scenic ride down Memorial Drive to my office downtown every day. Lots of trees and not much traffic compared to the freeways. I'd still be living there today if I didn't purchase a home.

This is the best apartment complex I've lived in, both in Houston and Austin. I say this not because they're exceedingly modern or magnificently appointed (though they are nice), but because the management is excellent. When I came to visit before renting, the manager took me around the grounds and literally knew everybody that we passed, all of whom greeted us warmly. The tenet population seems slightly older and thus quieter than at some of the apartments I've lived. There are no club houses or gyms, so that may deter some of the younger renters. There are two pools and the grounds are covered in a variety of flowers which make it a lovely and fragrant place to talk a stroll. Outside of office hours there is a guard on duty at the front entrance and I've not heard of any reports of crime. Guest parking can be troublesome if you want to have more than a few people over, but in the end my guests have always found a place to park. I'm only moving because I quit my job and I'm looking to relocate to another city. If I wanted to stay in Houston, I'd be living here.

Absolutely great. We never had any issues and were truly sad to leave. Great management, amazing neighborhood, and probably the safest apartment complex in Houston. Only down side is parking. I would definitely recommend!

My husband and I lived here from October 2013-2014. Unfortunately, we will be moving out this Friday at the end of October. We stayed here for a year and contemplated staying longer. However, we have a career change and a child on the way, so we are moving based upon our commute [work and school on the other side of town]. This complex will always remain in our hearts as our first place that we stayed in as newlyweds, and it was a great experience. Robert, the property manager, is very accommodating, and he dealt well with all the residents, employees, and different personalities. Robert works extremely hard as a consummate professional, and we often saw him working late hours in his office and double checking an apartment before lease. Talk about a perfectionist! We never had an issue with management, and they were always kind and understanding. What was great? The apartment's location exists in a convenient area on the southwest side of town, and everything's accessible including Interstate 10. The property is very convenient if you work in this area. The area feels safe, and you often see local police making routine rounds in the area. The guard is reliable, and he or she always guards at the most important times, whether it's rain or shine. Further, the apartment is zoned to SBISD, which is a great school district in the area. The property is cute and beautiful with a Southern-Bayou feel. Different foliage outline the property with wide staircases and case-iron outlays. It has a comfortable atmosphere and with the foliage comes adequate shade, which is important when considering electricity and air conditioning usage. Neighbors are private, kind, and keep to themselves. We were always busy, so we never had time to mingle although Robert and others invited us to some celebratory events that they hosted which was very thoughtful. The property is very quiet compared to some other apartments that we stayed in, and we never had any issues with noise. The property was well maintained, and there was trash pick-up all the time! which was great. Management always responded to any issues. What to consider? Rent was reasonable for the area. In my opinion, when we lived there, I think the rent was comparable and when considering safety as a primary concern, then the rent was worth it. There were always maintenance crews performing routine procedures. Even though these crews are around quite a bit, I think it was great that they were actually performing their duties, and they all worked quickly in a workmanlike manner. Other places that I have lived in never had prompt service compared to Creole! I did not mind crews diligently performing to our expectations. We recommend this private, cozy property to anyone looking for a great location to live in on the southwest side of town! Thank you Memorial Creole! Thank you Memorial Creole! -Mari Lee

Today was my move out day at Memorial Creole, and I am truly sorry to be packing up my stuff and moving out. I told Robert (the amazing property manager) today that the only reason in the world that I'd decided to leave was because my partner and I wanted to move in together and he already owns a home. I would recommend Memorial Creole to anyone that is looking for a calm, peaceful apartment community. I chose Memorial Creole for several reasons. Although it was at the upper end of my price range, I valued the great location, safety, and the quiet grounds. Location is pretty much unbeatable. One of the only apartment complexes in Memorial. 30 seconds from I10. Not to mention, it was very close to my office as well as my parents' home. Regarding safety, it's my understanding that there has never once been a break in at the apartments in the 40-some odd years they've existed. I ALWAYS felt safe there, and as a young female, that's unfortunately hard to say about a lot of places. The only entrance is watched by a security guard from dusk 'til dawn, and during the day, there is a good amount of foot traffic by staff and retired residents, both of whom are very watchful of any suspicious activity or guests. Lastly, I've NEVER seen an apartment complex that was so peaceful and quiet. Other residents are uncommonly respectful of your privacy, while still being very personable and friendly. It's generally an older crowd and a lot of families with children. No reckless driving in the parking lots, no drunk teenagers at the pool. Just blissfully quiet and calm. I could go on and on about how great the place is. The impeccable landscaping (you're allowed to eat the fruits that come off the trees!), the fact that Robert invited me to his birthday party, the quick and thorough maintenance, the beautiful updated apartment interiors, the thrice-weekly valet trash service...the place was great. Best experience I've ever had. If my situation ever changes, I'll be back at Memorial Creole with Robert in a heartbeat!

The Property Manager Robert is amazing!! I am a realtor and when I saw the property and met him I knew that this was not going to be the only client I moved into Memorial Creole. I look forward to working with him again and having another satisfied client move into this property.
