Can I see a unit before I sign my lease?

Liv+ shows prospective residents the showroom and tour model but does not guarantee you will see the exact unit you are assigned. One resident was forced to pay extra for a pool-view unit because it was the only one available.

What happens if I need maintenance urgently?

Maintenance responds quickly to reported issues (one review noted A/C and electrical repairs within hours), but the response time for pest problems like roaches has not resolved infestations despite multiple work orders.

Do I pay extra for trash removal?

Yes. Valet trash disposal is a separate paid fee ($300 early move-in is mentioned), but multiple reviews note that trash collection is frequently skipped and overflows in the garage.

The real story

Liv+ lures students in with a polished showroom and friendly leasing staff like Calvin or Cassandra, but many who move in face a harsh reality: roach-infested units, dirty fixtures, broken furniture, and water-marked walls nowhere close to the tour experience. Maintenance responds quickly when called, and some team members (Calvin, Josh, Abigail, Quay) earn genuine praise for patience and professionalism. However, office communication falls apart after lease signing-calls go unreturned for days, billing errors are hard to dispute, and fees for early move-in or paid valet trash feel arbitrary. The office manager Karen has made residents feel dismissed and disrespected when raising legitimate concerns. For students, the furnished rooms and campus shuttle appeal, but the gap between promise and delivery, combined with ongoing pest battles and communication breakdowns, leaves many wishing they'd chosen The Arlie or Campus Edge instead.

in-unit washer/dryer and modern amenities
quick lease signing

Watch-outs

roach and pest infestation persistent across units
move-in condition far worse than showroom

unclear or miscommunicated fees
office manager Karen unprofessional, dismissive, raises voice
trash collection unreliable despite paid valet service
gap between showroom condition and actual unit condition

friendly-staffpoor-communicationmove-in-issuespest-problemsclean-facilitiesoutdated-unitshidden-fees

Best for: Student renters comfortable with potential pest and cleaning issues who prioritize furnished units and on-site amenities.

Think twice if: Expect a deep gap between tour and actual unit condition. Plan for possible roach infestations, trash neglect, and unresponsive front office after signing.

Where it delivers

certain staff members (Calvin, Cassandra) deliver exceptionally patient, knowledgeable tours
in-unit laundry and modern appliances in advertised units
fast maintenance response once issues are reported
24-hour fitness center and resort-style pool

What to ask before signing

Leasing staff Calvin, Cassandra, Abigail, Josh, John, and Quay praised for professionalism and patience
Office manager Karen documented as unprofessional, dismissive, talking over residents, raising voice
Maintenance manager Jerry credited with rapid electrical and A/C repair
Roach infestation persists across multiple units despite pest control calls
Trash valet service charged but frequently skipped; garbage overflows in garage and stairwells
Showroom tour condition contrasts sharply with assigned unit condition
Move-in ready units dirty, with dust on baseboards, window blinds, vents; carpet dark after mopping; broken furniture (chair wheel, couch tears)

How residents rate the community

Student Housing: Furnished with in-unit washer/dryer and campus shuttle appeal, but roach infestation, unclean move-in conditions, and office communication failures disappoint many students.
Townhome-Style Apartment Communities: Multi-bedroom floor plans (2BR–4BR) marketed as move-in ready, but reviewers report pest infestations, peeling tubs, bubbling tile, and broken appliances upon arrival.

Buffalo at Arlington

3.2(344)✓ Google-verified

Buffalo at Arlington offers apartments blocks from UT Arlington with modern amenities that appeal to many students. Yet the experience is drastically split: those who navigate move-in smoothly praise clean units, responsive staff by name, and facilities like the rooftop pool and fitness center. The overwhelming complaint is catastrophic move-in chaos, with hundreds moved simultaneously, hours-long key delays, and units arriving uninhabitable (roaches, broken windows, dirty floors). Staff turnover and communication breakdowns compound these issues, with residents reporting unresolved maintenance and unclear billing practices. Management struggles appear structural rather than occasional. Reviewers note understaffing during move-in season, non-functional fingerprint scanners forcing unsafe door-propping, and a disconnect between front-line staff goodwill and backend systems (Cardinal Management handling billing disputes). Charges for damage not caused by residents and lack of proration for mid-month arrivals frustrate cost-conscious students. The 49% five-star / 44% one-two-star split reflects two sharply different realities: smooth arrivals versus logistical collapse.

101 Center

3.6(586)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Despite a convenient location near UTA and Downtown Arlington, 101 Center struggles with tenant satisfaction across maintenance, billing, and management responsiveness. Reviewers report persistent pest problems left unfixed, maintenance requests marked resolved without action, and difficulty reaching staff through phone or email. Staff performance varies sharply: some maintenance technicians earn praise for quick, respectful work, but overall management frustrates residents with billing discrepancies, lease-signing tactics that leave tenants worse off, and a perception that concerns are dismissed. Multiple residents document pest issues lasting months, parking garage security failures, and lost packages. Those seeking quick, hands-on support before move-in should look elsewhere.
