The Wellington at Willow Bend

Came into town needing a place to live, thought this place would be ideal since it's in a good part of town and around plenty of grocery stores and accommodations! Not-so-much! Roaches, dog poop, trash, gates always broken, cheap maintenance, and inability to control their tenant's wrongful behavior. More traffic going in and out than there were people living there. The inability to do anything outside, not suitable for children living there. Go with a better choice! Avoid as much as possible. Have photo evidence of all claims.

If you have other options, pass on the Wellington, or any Banner property for that matter. The night before I was to move in, I received a call from the leasing manager telling me my apartment wouldnt be ready for at least another day because the Wellington had miscalculated the dates and the previous tenant was still there. Id already rented a truck and had friends take off work to help me move, but they insisted there was no way I could get in. I took the high road and gave them another day, even though it meant Id have to move everything I own by myself. When I did get my key, I found an apartment whose walls hadnt been painted, and carpet that had hastily been vacuumed but certainly not shampooed; both of which had been promised. Again, I let this slide. Then, a year later, a death in the family forced me to leave the state. I left the apartment immaculate, and it was re-rented days later at a higher rate than I was paying. Now, the Wellington is sending me to collection for over two thousand dollars for breaking my lease, despite the fact that Texas law says I am only liable for any money they lost by me moving out early. After breaking our contract on day one, they now want to profiteer off a death in my family when they are already making more money than if I had remained. That is sad and offensive. Live somewhere else if you can. However, if you like a noisy place to live with screaming kids running all over the grounds, and the security gates left open for hours at a time, maybe this is the place for you.
