The Grove Denton

On 8÷20÷15 we stepped into The Grove, Denton in search of immediate housing for my son. He had previously signed a lease, sight unseen by us, that previous spring. The place that stepped into was catastrophic at best.
I live 600 miles away, nerves frayed and stressed, we stepped into The Grove to inquire about leasing. We were treated with such a warm welcome and James Stewart showed a concern and sense of urgency in matching my son up with a roommate that was so appreciated at this hectic time.
Words cannot express the gratitude that I have toward your staff at The Grove. I am thankful that we walked into this amazing place that clearly places customers first!
James Stewart and his steam are to be commended!

I’ve had nothing but a good experience here. Love living here. The front staff and management are awesome and there’s also a social going on! Definitely a better complex compared to the other student apartments!

I’ve lived here for about a month and I’ve had the worst experience ever. Everyone saying that the walls are thin and the train is loud is right, but that is honestly the least of your worries if you plan on living here. The staff is completely useless. There is only one maintenance guy, and they will take forever to get to any complaint you have (even if your apartment is flooding! so far we’ve had both our washer and our dish washer leak all over the apartment, for the washer it has been a week and no one has come by, we’ve called four times).
They have an agreement with a towing company and they don’t really care if there’s a sticker on your car or not. They will tow your car. The stickers they give you don’t even stick to windows (they literally are not stickers, they are pieces of paper, and if you don’t put it in the front left corner of your car they will tow you).
The staff is pretty useless. They won’t get the manager if you ask them, they won’t put a rush on any emergency issues in your apartment. They even gave me the key to a mailbox that wasn’t mine when I moved in, and took over two weeks to get me the right key.
Honestly this place is a mess and I do not recommend living here, ever.

I had to intervene when I saw this place had a four star rating!
I really didn’t want to live here, I had a roommate who worked as a leasing agent at this complex. (We’ll call her Jennifer). Jennifer gave me some inside knowledge of the corrupt inner workings of the place. Basically everything they promised was a lie, and they knew it.
When I signed my lease the apartments weren’t even built yet, and the model home they had was a complete lie. The furniture that comes with the apartment was not how it was in reality, the kitchen was way smaller than promised and the move in date was pushed back many times due to them being behind in construction.
The kitchen had ONE drawer to put things in. ONE! The atmosphere feels like that of a dorm room, the walls are paper thin and you won’t be going to bed until 5am because the occupants like to hang out in the parking lot and scream…

Every month when I went to go pay, they would tell me I owed them money in late fees… when I was NEVER late. I would have to gather my bank statements and check stubs every month to prove this fact even though every month they said they would take care of it. They also ran one of my checks through twice… this is check fraud and my bank reccommended I sue. (Of course I didn’t, I’m a student I can’t afford that legal battle).
The leasing attendents were always on the phone making personal calls, or very unhappy with their life and would not be friendly or helpful.
Finally, the pool area is in the middle of a quad of apartments. The sun only stays on it for a brief period of the day before it goes behind the buildings. Also, no on hangs out here because it sucks.
Worst apartment experience of my life.

Just moved in. Pretty good so far. However the walls are thin, and some of the apartments are next to train tracks. All rooms are spacious; closet, bedroom, even the bathroom. One of the biggest perks of the place. Also still has the new apartment smell, which is nice. Best apartments I’ve lived in in Denton so far.
