Tenant Reviews for 2686 MURWORTH DR

The apartment complex is nice. The area gets busy during football games, rodeo, and all other events at the NRG stadium. Manager Chuck writes fake reviews on this page. Besides that, pretty good apartment complex, nothing fancy, but it's good for the price.

I enjoy living at Wilshire Park Apartments, Mr. Lewis is a excellent property manager. He cares for the tenants and go far and beyond to make sure every tenant is comfortable and safe. Mr. Lewis has an open door policy with the tenants which allows him to interact with the tenants on a daily basis. He has created a caring community here at Wilshire Park. The assistant manager, Ms. Price is very professional and also cares for the tenants and assist the tenants with any concerns they may have. The maintenance staff is the best, maintenance concerns are taken care of within 24 hours. I can't imagine living anywhere else, thank you Mr. Lewis and the staff here at Wilshire Park for all your hard work.

I lived here from 2012 to 2014 and this is the only apartment I have ever stayed in for more than one year. I would not have moved if I hadn't been going out of state. I have stayed at other apartments in Houston up to $500 more for a 1bed/1bath and every one, without exception, was not up to the standard of Wilshire Park. The key difference between all of those apartments and Wilshire Park is really Chuck. He is so friendly and remembers the names/apartments of everyone on the property and really cares about the residents. I really can't say enough good things about Chuck, he's one of the best people I've met. The maintenance staff are excellent. I never had any problem that wasn't fixed within a half hour. Victor was an especially friendly and courteous person, and kept my in-unit washer and dryer running spot-on. All of the people hired by management were actually really lovely people. I have a cat and couldn't use standard pesticides when I brought home weevils from the supermarket (this was on me--or rather Kellogg's company, not the apartment's fault, by the way) and got a roaring infestation, so the apartment hired a dude with pet-safe stuff (diatomaceous earth, I highly recommend it!) and the weevils were gone in 3 days. The apartments are not fancy to look at from the outside, but they have good internal design. The noise level in my apartment was excellent: I never heard my neighbors to the sides, and I only heard my upstairs neighbor when an elephant lived up there--I swear they were stomping around on purpose, because I had no problems of that nature before or after that particular resident. My neighbors were really fun people and we talked as neighbors do, instead of it being one of those cold, faceless apartment communities. I sort of think Chuck might be responsible for this too, since "Chuck = awesome" is a good icebreaker for starting a conversation with a resident, as everyone will nod and smile and agree with you. The property itself is pretty solid. The grounds are fairly non-existent, most likely due to cramped space in the city, but what landscaping there is by the pool is quite pretty. I also had a nice backyard area and lawn that was good for sunbathing--and most important for me, did not breed mosquitoes. It is possible that most apartments don't have access to that space however, since it seemed to be only available to first floor apartments in that row. The property is close to all sorts of shopping and 2 miles from both the university and the medical centers. It's a block from Reliant Stadium (I think it might be NRG Stadium now) and you should be aware that you should never take Main Street during the rodeo (February). All the traffic is easily bypassed by going on Buffalo Speedway though. I never had a noise problem from the stadium, nor were there safety issues regarding it either. I was able to walk daily up main street without a problem, in the dark, as a single woman, and not get mugged or even weirded out, although I might not recommend it for especially tiny or anxious women.

I stayed at wilshire from 2009 to 2010. I moved out only because I wanted a bigger apartment with washer dryer and wanted a gym. I never had any problems staying at wilshire. The office staff ( CHUCK ) is phenomenal - the best I have see so far. Chuck in particular is awesome. He is genuinely helpful and not just a string of words. He would call me everytime there is an important package to be picked up. Everytime I would put in a maintenance request, he would make sure it is taken care of within hours - never would roll over to the next day. No pest problems while i stayed there. The only problem I faced was - limited parking space near my apartment ( although you can reserve a spot by paying a nominal $25 for a month), especially if I arrived late at night. If this apartment had a gym, I would have stayed there. From an aesthetic view point, there is not much landscaping. I guess for a price that wilshire offers, being less than a mile away from groceries and being in the medical center, one could ignore the absence of landscaping. Common pool available, but I never used it.

Wilshire Park is a great apartment complex. For the location and quality of the apartments, the price cannot be beat, especially if you consider initial deposits. The office and maintenance staff are wonderful, and everyone around me is very friendly. I had two sets of people volunteer to help me carry mattresses while I was moving in! Also, everything is very clean- the lack of bugs is amazing- and I always feel pretty safe. The cons are that it isn't really in a neighborhood, so the surrounding atmosphere could be improved on. Also, it gets crazy during Texans games, so just stay inside during those 5 days a year!
