Paces Crossing — Local services in Denton

BEWARE! READ THIS BEFORE RENTING HERE!

First of, they WILL BE VERY NICE AT FIRST. Like any leasing company, they will roll out the red carpet for you and make you feel right at home when they first give you a tour, and until they get you to sign a lease.

The MOMENT you sign the lease, their entire attitude towards you WILL change.

You WILL be forced to put up with constant staff entering your apartment, meaning you will NOT get to relax. You WILL be forced to put up with rules such as no decorating, no smoking ANYWHERE on the property, even outside. You WILL be forced to put up with an unsafe environment. Your car or belongings WILL get stolen or broken into. Pace's Crossing only has cameras near the front office, nowhere else. No security for residents. You WILL be forced to deal with solicitors, beggars, and homeless people that wander the complex, unimpeded by staff. You WILL be forced to go to a laundromat outside of the complex to do laundry.

This experience was not unique to me. You may be thinking to yourself, "Well maybe this guy who wrote the review caused problems and so they gave him special attention".

Nope! Not only have I never caused problems, EVERY single one of my neighbors ALSO deals with the problems I deal with.

So really if you want to see whether I'm lying or not, just walk into Pace's Crossing, knock on literally anyone's door (during business hours, don't scare people) and ask them if this review is accurate or not.

I guarantee you they will not only say yes, they will also tell you several other horror stories about this place that I missed here.

Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place needs to change a lot before it's a place where people can...

I was a resident in this complex for multiple years and they had great apartments all around. They may be a little more expensive than some other apartments in Denton, but for the location, size, and service, I have no complaints. Based on friends' experiences with other complexes, I was really happy with my experience there.

It's open to all renters, not just students so it's quieter and more peaceful, but you can grab the Colorado Express right at the front of the complex while university is in session to get to UNT within 15 minutes. It's also relatively close to all the groceries, department stores, and doctors on the south side of town, which is great if you don't eat out much or you have a family.

The staff are amazing too. I've put in maintenance orders in the morning that were finished when I came home that evening. The front office is also courteous and very flexible; for example, one thing that always surprised my friends was that they wouldn't penalize you for ending your lease early as long as you gave them 60 days notice. None of my friends ever had issues with their cars being towed either (so long as you don't park in someone's covered space).

While water, sewage, and trash are bundled with your rent, you are responsible for your own electric service and internet. That may be a turn-off to some people, but it didn't really bother me. The main problem I had was that my electric bill could be expensive sometimes, especially in extreme weather. I don't know if they have any plans to upgrade windows, doors, and the HVAC systems in the apartments, but along with recycling and updating some appliances, that was my only...

I have lived at Paces Crossing for 3 years and have absolutely loved it! I went to UNT which is just a 7 minute drive or a 15 minute bus ride which picks up at the front of the complex.

The things I have liked the most about living here is: -The friendly neighbors. Made several new/lifelong friends! -Enforcement of noise and crowd rules so that its not a "party complex" -Dog park and sidewalks for my pup and I to peruse. -There is always parking and they don't tow your guests. (Super pet friendly) -Close to Target, Hobby Lobby, WalMart, food establishments, and the Golden Triangle mall. -Easy access to I-35 -Great management. (I once locked myself out of my apt way late at night. I saw one of the managers in the parking lot and she kindly went to the office, got my key for me, and made sure they made me a new key for me by the next day at no cost. All with a smile on her face!) -3rd floor ceilings are tall. Large bathrooms with plenty of counter space. They come and clean your carpets at no fee annually if you renew. -Lots of closet space.

Things that weren't the best (this is me being picky): Some road noise from i-35. Sometimes the trash bins get really full. The hot tub is too hot sometimes. The stairs are a little thin. They don't salt the sidewalks or parking lots for ice storms.

If this complex could up and move to Dallas with me, I would totally stay. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that is...
