Beautiful grounds! If you enjoy the constant contact with bed bugs, roaches, and gnats!
Also, the aroma of hot trash (kind of smells like death, when left there) permeates the entire building. A grimy elevator, and, last but NOT least, negligent land lords! Message me for details. Dont move here. Its your worst, section 8 nightmare.

I have lived at HOPC for 2 years now. The current management for the property is outstanding. On several occasions they have done everything to make sure my needs have been met. I love the location since I work downtown and my daily commute consists of a $ 4 Über ride. Magnolia is one block south as well, and West 7^th is 5 minutes away. You cannot find a better place for the money in the area. I looked at several places before decided to move to HOPC, but all of them were quite a bit more expensive, and from what I’ve heard the service is deplorable. I’m glad I made the decision for HOPC, and I will probably live here until I buy my own place.

If it weren’t for noisy neighbors this place would be perfect. They’ve come a long way.

This place is not worth it! The location is close to downtown and the units are loft-​style, but the management is so incredibly awful, it’s unbearable. They have never followed through on anything they’ve said. My maintenance requests get ignored, they lost my rent payment once and tried to get me to pay a late fee. When I moved in, they said I could move in on Thursday and when I showed up with a moving crew they didn’t even have a key and said come back Friday. I cannot overemphasize how terrible the management here is.
I’m not just complaining because I had a bad experience. I genuinely wanted to like this place, but the people that run this place are so terrible, I can’t give it anything more than 1 star (which is generous).

Don’t live here. The staffing is terrible and the poor maintenance staff is strung thin as it is.
I had big, big problems with bugs, leaking pipes and «overdue» fines. Whatever you do, make sure you physically hand the staff your rent check. If they check the box outside the office a day or two late, they will penalize the crap out of you. I once received an overdue notice despite the fact that I paid on time. When I went to resolve the issue, I was told that I should just pay the late fine and be done with it. I protested and said I had paid on time and should not receive a penalty, but I was ignored. I was told that I should pay the penalty or else I would be penalized more. I even showed them my bank statement literally showing that they cashed my check the day after they received my payment. It wasn’t my fault, but they do everything to make it feel like your fault. I eventually paid the fine, but let them have a piece of my mind before I left.
The only reason this place received two stars instead of one is because of the maintenance staff. The complex is made up of two old buildings, and one very large, very crumby apartment block. They have about two guys running the whole show and it usually takes them a couple days to fix your stuff. When they do arrive, they are always nice and apologetic, and you feel for them because you usually see them working in an apartment until late in the day. My water heater and AC unit have broken down, and with the heater I had it fixed within a couple of days. The AC unit was fixed fast because it was during the 40 plus 100 degree days of the 2011 summer. They did well when there were dire emergencies.
Oh, and the pool absolutely sucks. Don’t swim there. It was drained multiple times while I lived there and I’m pretty sure it was because of stuff in the water.
The homeless shelter across the street can be a burden. When it gets cold or hot, the homeless wander on over to the apartments and knock on doors and windows hoping to get some change. I’m usually good about giving change when I’m driving into the complex… but they have knocked on my door looking for food. Just a heads up.
