I lived at Sunset Shadows from September 2023 to September 2025. I originally chose this property because I needed something under $1,000, and this was one of the few options available at the time. I did a blind lease, and when I arrived on move-in day, I was very disappointed. The unit I received was filthy—there were dead roaches inside kitchen drawers and under the sinks, the bathtub and walls were dirty, and the carpet was stretched out and stained. I had to request that the unit be re-cleaned, which still took days to address. The apartment itself (I lived in unit 232, a “classic” style) was small and outdated—popcorn ceilings, mismatched appliances, and overall in poor condition. From the very beginning, pest control was a major problem. Roaches were constant, and the only way I could minimize them was by keeping the air very cold. This is clearly an ongoing infestation issue, not just an isolated case. When I first moved in, the one upside was that the property was relatively quiet and seemed safe enough for kids to play outside. Unfortunately, that changed drastically over time. By the end of my lease, the complex was loud, disruptive, and felt unsafe. There were frequent parties, loud music in the parking lot at all hours, and outdoor lighting in parts of the property was not working, making it uncomfortable to walk around at night. The grounds were “somewhat maintained”—landscaping was done weekly, but the dumpsters were constantly overflowing with trash piled around them, leaving the property smelling bad. The laundry facilities worked inconsistently; some machines were often broken. Management and leasing office staff were consistently rude and dismissive throughout my stay. Maintenance response times varied—sometimes same day, sometimes not—but even when issues were addressed, it was usually a temporary band-aid fix rather than a thorough repair. One positive is that when my A/C went out in the summer, it was restored by the end of the day, but that was an exception, not the rule. Rent did not increase for me after the first year (because I negotiated), and while I technically “got what I paid for” with a two-bedroom under $1,000, the experience was not worth the headaches. My move-out process was the worst part: after giving notice, maintenance tried to enter my unit without notice or authorization while I was working from home. I had to threaten legal action to stop it from happening again. Overall, I would not recommend Sunset Shadows unless you are truly in a desperate situation and just need a roof over your head. If you can do better, do better. The low rent might seem attractive, but the trade-offs in safety, cleanliness, and professionalism are simply not worth it.

My daughter just moved out her to Houston from California. We we told she wasn’t going to be able to move into the apartment until Thursday . We waited until Thursday and we were very unhappy with the inside of the “ Newly Renovated” apartment. Very disappointed. We have had to call the office almost everyday we’ve been here because of different issues that are not fixed. Also there are ROACHES. I will be looking to call upper management regarding these issues. Really they deserve no stars. 1 star is really over doing it

⭐☆☆☆☆ Warning: Predatory Fines and Invasive Management Practices I’ve lived here for a while, but the recent changes to management policies have been downright alarming. Residents are now being threatened with daily fines up to $250 for things like leaving shoes, patio furniture, coolers, or even outdoor sports gear on their own private patios. Not everyone likes shoes that have been all outdoors in their living room! Management has begun enforcing daily inspections and issuing fines without warning, using vague rules like “any item deemed unacceptable by management.” What does that even mean? Apparently, even hanging clothes or rugs to dry (on an outdoor patio!) is now a $100 offense. If you care about tenant rights, privacy, or just the ability to use the space you pay for—think twice before signing a lease here. This place has shifted from a community to a surveillance state with surprise charges. The policies feel financially predatory and are being enforced with no transparency, no notice, and no regard for basic renter protections under Texas law. Do your research. Ask about the patio policies before you move in. And maybe… keep looking.

The visit at Sunset Shadows was super pleasing with all the leasing staff. Community is really clean. I love living here!

Leasing the appartment was a fairly quick and easy process. I will comeback and update once I move in. Friday
