The real story

Staff like Jennifer, Gina, and Georgina deliver warm, attentive service during tours and lease signings, and some residents praise the pool and convenient location near campus. However, deep maintenance failures undermine the experience: roaches appear in multiple units and appliances, air conditioning breaks repeatedly with days-long waits for repairs, laundry machines malfunction constantly, and sidewalks stay visibly dirty. Management turnover and office phone/hours issues compound frustration, especially for international students facing high rent for the problems they encounter.

The divide is stark. Recent positive reviews highlight Jennifer's responsiveness to current tenants; earlier one-star accounts describe a property that feels abandoned by upkeep and leadership. Whether you experience the friendly staff side or the maintenance crisis side appears to depend heavily on timing and luck with your unit.

Best for: Students prioritizing staff friendliness and campus proximity over unit upkeep. First-time renters who may accept growing pains.
Think twice if: Pest-sensitive, those requiring reliable AC, or anyone relying on laundry facilities should carefully inspect units and request AC verification before signing. Multiple reviews document roaches, broken AC lasting days, and chronic laundry machine failures.

Where it delivers

What to ask before signing

  • Jennifer, Gina, and Georgina named repeatedly for tours and resident support
  • Pool described as 7 feet deep
  • Roach problem reported across multiple reviews with 5+ species and 30+ insects killed per morning in one account
  • AC failures lasting days; temporary window units offered
  • Laundry machines fail repeatedly and rarely maintained
  • Maintenance staff described as unresponsive in negative reviews
  • Six manager changes in one tenant's 12-month stay; turnover cited as a management failure

Does The Dean have a pool?

Strong staff loyalty dominates positive reviews: Sam, Tami, and Jayme consistently earn praise for attentive service during move-in and problem-solving. Yet persistent complaints center on A/C malfunctions, cockroach infestations, and slow or incomplete repairs despite management goodwill. One tenant reported unit damage requiring a move with added fees; another waited weeks for fixes on a faulty air conditioning system. The gap between staff praise and maintenance failures suggests strong management intent but operational strain. Website claims off-campus proximity to UT Arlington, furnished units, in-unit laundry, and resort amenities. Complaints suggest advertised renovations do not always match unit condition, and pest issues recur despite staff effort.

Tour staff, particularly Leo, earn consistent praise for patience and professionalism during the leasing process. Once residents move in, experience fractures sharply: maintenance responds within two days, but management communication fails, packages disappear, roaches infest units despite cleaning efforts, fire alarms trigger repeatedly at night, and rules apply unevenly across the complex. Residents report unexplained repair charges stacked monthly, A/C withheld when temperatures reach 87 degrees, and little accountability when units suffer water damage or residents have roommate conflicts. The property itself shows visible trash, vandalism in the garage, and stairwell filth. Management does not engage after the lease is signed.
