Tenant Reviews for 8415 HEARTH DR

Everyday the black guy and the -------- lady are selling dope out of that apartment multiple times a day...their dope head clients would stagger into the building and even out the apartment...we have witness over 200 different transactions We have called police several times..About this .. And nothing is being done.

We've lived here many years. Although events at nearby NrG stadium can cause increased traffic and noise in the area, it is generally quiet. It's a gated community and we've not personally had any issues and neither have our guests. It's very close to the medical center and that's why we chose to live here.

The complex to me is very safe and I have 3 kids one with autism and never have any trouble. As for my landlord I can't say the same. Never met the guy only his brother and they don't want to fix anything. Every time they send the maintenance guy he tells us they still haven't paid him. We pay our rent on time every month and the landlord who we can only contact thru email tells us we need to fix it. He says it's due to tenant neglect and if he fixes it he will raise our rent. So beware of unit 21 in building 8421 hearth dr.

Many people seem to be confusing Hearthwood with the complex across the street, Hearthwood II. Most of the bad reviews are for Hearthwood, the brown-colored complex on Hearth Drive. The newer positive reviews (and photos) are for Hearthwood II, the complex on S Bartell Drive with green roofs and fences. I live in Hearthwood II and love it. It's now very safe and quiet, with a mostly older/retired population. Security is great and they constantly prune and vacuum every inch of the place. The location is amazing and perfect for UH or Rice students as well as anyone working in the TMC.

We are tenants of the Hearthwood condos, these condos are somewhere in the middle. And honestly the reviews can differ for each particular condo since each condo is owned by different individual "owners"..before moving in I noticed the "condos" advertised looked "remodeled" and updated... however, when signing the contract at the actual apt, the apt was totally run down, different flooring. Some appliances needed fixing... I spent a whole 2 days fixing up the place and nailing areas together. The plus is you dont have to pay for any additional utilities, except for the electricity, YAY! Its close to the med center, and rice univ a plus. The maintenance crew is good at keeping the place clean, but I am still fighting trying to get rid of the disgustingly toxic cigarette smell. Maintenance crew is friendly. However, forget about having an office you can call and ask questions to, because their offices are closed literally all week and can hardly answer any questions or concerns you have regarding the property, useless. The reason I didn't give this place a full-on good review is due to the PEOPLE that live here. Seriously. I have only been here for a short amount of time, and I have seen 3 cops cars arrive on different occasions. Last night someone was getting handcuffed and cursing at 3 AM (Hello! some people have work in the AM!!) the people (not the maintenance) but the TENANTS THAT LIVE here are freaking disgusting!!! They cannot pick after themselves, have terrible manners, they have no regard for other tenants, as all i hear is FIGHTING FAMILIES!!! UPSTAIRS, NEXT DOOR, AND OUTSIDE!!! I AM SO SICK OF THE TENANTS THEY LEASE THESE CONDOS TO!!!! IF THEY PAID CLOSER ATTENTION TO WHO THEY LEASED THESE CONDOS TO- I GUARANTEE YOU THIS PLACE WOULD BE almost great.. You can think, well maybe I can get by if its just the tenants that are awful, but heck no, not if your safety is in your home. The tenants are mainly African American and as a Caucasian I get very mean looks, someone was parked behind my spot and I kindly asked, "hi excuse me, this is my reserved spot." and the woman replied with, "So? you can go park somewhere else." Uhm no, my spot is reserved, and right behind my condo so why should I move? so rude. not the place you want enemies at. I greet my neighbors, and all i get is seriously disturbing devious looks.yesterday I heard my neighbor telling his girlfriend, "fu*k you bi**h, ima kill you bi**h" ...the previous night, I witnessed a mother locking her kid outside at 830 PM and screaming maniacally at this 4 yr old with no regard of the noise and sound level of her freakishly annoying voice. Only good things are the distance to med center, and downtown, and maintenance. Otherwise the tenants "run this place". if this place doesn't pay attention to their tenants this place will definitely not be successful in the next 5 yrs.

As a current tenant in the 8417 block of the Hearthwood Condominums I would like to start with saying that this is a great value for the price and location. I would have to say they have done very well with keeping the complex a safe place. The maintaince crew maintins the complex very well as the pool is always clean, the apt hallways are always clean and there is harldly ever any litter on the apt grounds. My issue with the place would have to be the numerous sightings of roaches. In this particular building there seems to be a high population of them. No matter how clean we keep our apt we see the pest from the stairway, too the hallway and in the apt. My second issue with this complex is the way you have to enter into the building. You insert the key, turn the key and you have to pull the door open with a key. There is no door handle which I find odd. If they can get control of the pest issue, this could really be a great apartment complex.

The new management has really made this place an incredible value. Amazing location, very good safety, and consistent upkeep. I've had no problems with insects or flooding like some of the condos/apartments in the area, and the place is dead silent even at Friday nights!

I lived in 8515 block, for nearly 3 years. At first look (when you pass by) you may not feel it's secure or new but honestly best place for the price and locality hands down. Just off 610 E/W and very close to US-90 and Reliant (NRG) stadium. Kirby/Bufflalo spdwy is blocks away and with all the supermarkets, restaurants and strip malls around the locality is just perfect for anyone. Not to mention, the proximity to TMC. On metro route 14, 10 and 18, so no issues even if you don't own a car. With new security cameras (and gated keycode entry/exit + Exclusive resident key to enter building), they are probably very secure. My unit had no problems whatsoever, but it may vary. Bedbug was an issue, may be for a month and they disappeared with some treatment (specifically my neighbors also did treatment). @Roaches - We are to be blamed, as we encouraged them by leaving leftover food, otherwise nothing at all. Efficient and timely garbage disposal and ample parking space all year around. Common areas were ---- and span most of the days. Only minus (nothing is perfect) is crowd/Traffic jams during Rodeo months/events in stadium. Built in 1980, so the age shows up in exteriors. If you find a good owner and a good unit, don't hesitate at all.

Location. Location. Location. lol aside from that the management is decent and I haven't had any issues with safety during my year long stay here.

This place had improved so much!!Rent for the location is really good but of course when you are just driving through you might thing it is not where you want to be!! But honestly the place is being well maintain and you can see a lots of new works and remodeling being done around the property. I moved in here last year around OCT/NOV and had to pass a background check! I haven't had any problems at all since I moved in here! If you want to live in the loop you might want to take a look at this place!
