The real story

The Drake on Summit attracts renters with its modern amenities and walkable location near downtown Fort Worth, but the experience deteriorates significantly after move-in. Residents report cleanliness that went from acceptable to deplorable within months, broken security doors that anyone can bypass, rampant car break-ins in an unpatrolled garage, and an overwhelmed or indifferent maintenance team that responds quickly to some requests but then goes silent for weeks on critical issues like mold and AC failures. The sky deck and gym are real draws; the frustration is real too.

Fire alarms blast at odd hours for years until a vendor switch helps. Management uses AI phone trees that trap callers, then charges residents for security deposit deductions without documentation. Early residents loved it here; recent ones feel unsafe and neglected. Some staff shine (Chris, Kelly, Natalie handling positive interactions), but the system behind them has fractured.

Praised for
  • Amenities and finishes (gym, pool, sky deck)
  • Fast maintenance response (when reached)
  • Good location near West 7th and downtown

  • Parking garage safety and speeding; car break-ins
  • Broken gates and security doors; compromised access control
  • Unresponsive management and maintenance delays; poor communication
  • Loud and frequent fire alarms; electrical and AC failures
  • Disorganized move-out billing and deposit disputes

Best for: Pet owners seeking walkable access to downtown dining and arts; early-career professionals who tolerate amenity-rich settings.
Think twice if: You prioritize safety, cleanliness, responsive management, or a quiet parking experience. Recent reviews show ongoing security door failures, car thefts, and loud fire alarms.

Where it delivers

  • Modern amenities (24-hour gym, sky deck with views, pool)
  • Pet-friendly with on-site grooming and park
  • Convenient downtown and West 7th location
  • Some staff deliver fast, attentive service

What to ask before signing

  • Named maintenance staff: Chris praised for reliable work; Natalie (property manager) handles some positive interactions but also dispute resolution
  • Electric car charging stations available
  • 24/7 Amazon package pickup via Hub
  • Pet grooming on-site
  • Fire alarm system was problematic for years; vendor change reduced frequency but not eliminated
  • Parking garage gate breaks regularly, causing jams and safety concerns
  • Move-out billing disputes: residents report $500 charges with limited documentation; policy requires receipts submitted by move-out date via internal system
  • AI phone system makes after-hours human contact difficult

How residents rate the community

Luxury Apartments
Upscale finishes and amenities attract tenants, but cleanliness, maintenance responsiveness, and safety gaps erode the luxury promise.
Pet-Friendly Apartments
Pet park and grooming station are genuine amenities; residents report the park is used, but security concerns for pet owners in unsafe garage make overall experience risky.
Townhome-Style Apartment Communities
Varied unit sizes and layouts appeal to those seeking more space; internal access issues (thin walls, broken doors) and common-area decay diminish townhome-feel appeal.

Common questions

Are electric car charging stations available?
Yes, the complex has electric car charging stations on-site.
What happens if my AC breaks or I need emergency maintenance after hours?
The leasing office uses an AI phone system for after-hours calls; reaching a human is difficult. Some residents report fast response (within hours) for AC issues; others report being told it is 'not an emergency' and turned away until morning.
How much extra do I pay for parking and trash?
Parking in the garage is $50/month. Valet and bulk trash fees combined are close to $100/month.

The Harden at Public Market

5.0(27)✓ Google-verified

From move-in through daily living, residents consistently name Taylor from leasing and the maintenance crew (Chris, Greg, Fred) as unusually attentive and skilled. The building itself is brand new with modern finishes, pickleball courts, a gym, coworking clubhouse, and resort pool. Location near Downtown, the Medical District, and TCU means most necessities sit five to ten minutes away. The community draws diverse ages and professions, and multiple long-term tenants report feeling genuinely at home rather than just leasing space. Service calls come promptly and professionally resolved. No resident complaints surface in the reviews, though the property is still relatively new.
