Forest Creek Village Apts

Yes, there is 100% toxic MOLD in the walls! Do not believe the fake reviews that management obviously wrote.
Oh man I wish I could give this place zero stars. I don’t even know where to start with this hell hole.
First thing I will say is that the location is pretty good for Austin. But that’s where it stops. Period.
First week we moved in we found out our place was completely infested with rats. And I’m not talking like they’re there but you don’t see them kind of rats. No, we would see them scurry around all the time. We advised the office and they made it seem like it was no biggie. Living with RATS is no biggie. Their pathetic joke of a maintenance staff «ghetto fixed» the problem (like always), which did nothing. We ended up getting a city inspector involved, and then they finally outsourced to fix the issue… After an entire month!!!
So after the rat problem, a water pipe busted above my shower and literally put a hole in the ceiling. And what did «ghetto fix» maintenance do? They just put some plaster over it. They didn’t bother to fix the leak at all. Which, in turn, caused my bathroom to flood and leak through the wall into the bedroom and destroyed a bunch of my things. So, you think that would make them fix it correctly, right? Well, they told me they did, but my bathroom flooded two more times before they once again outsourced the labor because I was threatening with the city inspectors again. They never replaced the damaged floorboards or repainted the walls. Not to mention the black mold in the walls from the water damage. Like someone else reviewed, I was literally sick while living here!!!
We also had 3 – 4 MAJOR other issues that took going back and forth with the front office and maintenance to get fixed. Because if you live here I hope you have extra time to fight with the office about getting simple, yet major issues resolved. I’m not evening going to list those issues though, because I think I’ve made my point.
I cannot stress enough how pathetic the maintenance staff is at these apartments. I think one of the front office ladies is dating the head of maintenance, so she won’t fire his incompetent ass. They need a A-​team maintenance staff because this complex is completely falling apart (I literally had huge foundation cracks all over my walls). The front office is full of it too. They act like they care, but they just want to fill the empty apartments to get commission. If you ladies in the front office read this you know damn well who I am (#174 in case you don’t). No one stays for long, and I promise you won’t either. Just avoid the pain all together.
Oh, and when I moved out I was hearing reports of bedbugs spreading all over the complex. No lies! My neighbor moved out in the middle of the night without her stuff because of it. She was threatening to sue management.
I wish I could give it zero stars! DO NOT LIVE HERE!

I love the fake reviews that have popped off after others have shared their stressful experiences. I’m in contact with a lawyer that hired a mold expert to come out. Well the results came back and it texted off the charts for toxic mold. Keep on with the fake reviews but your business will not be able to stay afloat with health issues that affect residents

I have lived at the FCV for almost 10 years now and I absolutely love it. I have never had a problem with bugs or any mold issues. The staff is so friendly and beyond helpful. They definitely go above and beyond their job description! I have a dog and she loves it too because there a places close that we can take hikes. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Was looking for a place down south and this is the best value and location I I’ve been able to find in the Austin area. I loved my cozy home up north but since moving I am satisfied. The staff is sweet and my apartment has been great. Taking heed to the previous reviews, I thoroughly reviewed my bed bug addendum and called to have an inspector come out to check my apartment before move in. It’s not the management responsibility. I moved into a BUG FREE apartment! YAY! Responsible ME! :) No offense, I like to place blame on other too sometimes. Secondly, NO MOLD! I like living here and I like my apartment. I am very happy with my choice and look forward to the rest of my time in Austin here at this apartment.

I love living here. Been here for 8 months. The apartments it self is old and needs fixing up. But other than the fixing up the staff are super friendly the maintenance guys don’t speak good English but they are awesome and go out of they way to help u. Management is really nice. The location is great. And the ppl that live in these apartments are mainly college students and they are very nic, and they are not to loud actually it is shocking how quit it is on the weekends. Just everything about this place is great.

BLACK TOXIC MOLD! RENTER BEWARE! Literally almost died from exposure from living here. Always had a musty smell. Within a short time of living there, I began having breathing problems, numbness, shooting pains, panic/​anxiety for no appparent reason, memory/​cognition problems, chronic fatigue. When they did the «maintenance,» that’s when things went really haywire (see pics below; also see the mold pic above from other former tenant). Ended up hospitalized. Did an ERMI test on the apartment unit, and the results were off the scales for stachybotrys and penicillium. This stuff will kill you. I am still struggling with health issues from having lived in this awful place. Others have complained about this same issue with Forest Creek.

I love Forest Creek! I’ve lived here for 2 years and it’s by far the best apartment complex I’ve lived in.
It’s a great price for the beautiful, central location. It’s adjacent to Blunn Creek Nature Preserve, so there’s good nature-​walking to be had nearby.
There’s a good mix of families, young professionals, and students living here. I was relieved to find that it isn’t too heavy on the student population, given its proximity to St. Eds — there’s the occasional weekend party, but it never gets too rowdy.
This is not a «con» for me, but just something to be aware of: it’s definitely a no-​frills kind of place. The interior of the apartment was in fine shape when I moved in, but the appliances were not new by any stretch. In terms of amenities, the «exercise center» is a small room with a treadmill and stairmaster in it, and not much else. The tennis court hasn’t had a net in it for the past year. The pools, however, are very nice and well-​maintained — in fact, they just set out some new lounge chairs.
TL;DR — it’s a great place! If you’re cool, come be my neighbor :)

I never had a particularly awful experience at this complex, but there are definately things you must consider when signing a lease here. I rented a 825 sq ft one bedroom. It was renovated before I moved in, but not completely. The edging on the flooring was eaten away by mold. There was a 3 inch gap between the «wood flooring» and the edge where the wall began at some parts of the apartment. The restroom was never changed, but rather they decided to coat the tub with paint to seem as through it was new. You soon realized there is a coat of paint on the tub when you take your first sponge to clean it. There were 1 inch long cocking gaps between the tile and the tub. Lots of SHORT CUTS.
The staff was always very friendly, which was disappointing when they stuck me with a large bill at the time of move out. They charged me for leaving dishwasher pods for the next tenant, because my new home doesn’t have one. Also, claimed I didn’t clean out a refridgerator, that was spotless upon my move out. I sent them photographs of this, and corresponded with them about this for a while, but never responded to after I sent my move out photos. I emailed them again (today) a week later, and still have yet to hear back from them. It isn’t the prettiest complex, but the balconies are great! Just disappointed that they are expecting some much at move out… when they give so little to their tenants at move in.

I love Forest Creek! The staff are all awesome. They take very good care of the tenants. They make sure to remember you and your situation. The maintenance staff is totally on top of it! They take great care of me and my apartment.
I am leaving Austin but if I weren’t, I’d live here for as long as they’d let me!
The only problem that some people may run into is the gym… there isn’t much of one. The machines don’t really work. This is irrelevant to me, though.

This place is great!
The rent was okay.
Most importantly, the staff, both the on-​site management and the maintenance sides, we’re nothing but professional. In fact, they had made an effort to get to know us personally and were quite sweet.
The maintenance guys would always help even with things personal situations that weren’t related to the grounds.
(Those guys were always happy to lend an unsolicited hand to changing car tires or putting a quick fix on an engine problem.)
There is no fifth star because they allowed a couple fratties to move in over top of us. Without the memory of those special folks, I would have nothing bad to say about the place.
Forest Creek Village Apartments is a great place to live!
