What Residents Report

Waterford's recent reviews show sharp improvement under new management, with residents praising attentive handling of concerns and quick maintenance responses. Older reviews paint a bleaker picture: chronic leaks, mold, pest issues, unresponsive office staff, and application decisions that shift mid-process. The split between five-star and one-two-star ratings reflects this divide. Current management appears to address past pain points, though the property's structural challenges (single-pane windows, moisture problems) persist.

Best for: People seeking pet-friendly, accessible affordable housing near UNT or TWU campuses.
Think twice if: Long-term residents should weigh persistent moisture and mold issues, and applicants should document all approval conversations; office processes have been inconsistent historically.

Roxton draws solid praise for certain staff members-Kara Davis and Jackie Flores earn repeated mention for going beyond the basics-and grounds that feel quiet and safe. The property offers a pool, gym, and splash pad. However, ongoing complaints about roach infestations, mold, slow maintenance responses, and contested move-out billing overshadow this. Recent reviews flag turnover in the office and an AI answering service that makes contact harder. Rent hikes are steep for an affordable-housing complex. The divide is sharp: five-star reviews celebrate named staff and atmosphere; one- and two-star reviews cite pest issues, mounting maintenance debt, and billing practices that tenants say violate HUD guidelines. New applicants may also encounter inconsistent leasing interactions.

Some residents praise the quiet environment and helpful staff like Kara and Kelby, but the experience is uneven. Major complaints center on unresponsive management (particularly named staff), deposit refunds withheld without proper communication, noise complaints ignored, pest damage, and strict visitor parking rules (seven visits per month limit). The new ownership appears to have brought changes, though maintenance delays and inconsistent customer service remain concerns.

Most tenants and prospective residents report smooth leasing experiences, often praising individual staff members for patience and follow-through during their move-in process. Maintenance (Vincent, Ken, and Vincent David) handle urgent repairs same-day with professionalism. However, two recent applicants faced severe communication breakdowns during screening, with one reporting that staff member Kimberly refused to explain a denial, dismissed requests to speak with a manager, and had police called on them while they had young children present. The property itself stands out for cleanliness, safety, and a calendar of resident events like baby showers. In-unit washer-dryer hookups, business center, fitness center, and pool are standard. Leasing staff like Kimberly Nixon, Ja'Nyia, and Jasmine earned consistent praise for helping applicants from out of state and approving them within 24 hours. The contrast between these positive leasing experiences and the documented application denials suggests inconsistent or unclear application standards.
