The Howard — Local services in Pflugerville

UPDATE: After living at The Howard for almost a year, my experience went downhill. After just having my second guest towed, I’ve had enough. There is hardly any parking and there’s no designated guest parking, so they came up with an app where you have to manually enter your guest license plates in and it you don’t, you have to drive 30 min to go get it out of the tow yard for $320. Well, if you don’t have a ton of guest over, it’s very easy to forget especially bc the signs for towing are microscopic. The first thing when you see your friend visiting, you better stop everything you are doing and put their license plate in the app if you don’t want to pay $320 and drive 30 min. This happened to me TWICE. And it wasn’t even a rule until April. Speaking of rules, they have to micromanage the building so pool is closed after 10. Why? Because you have inconsiderate, loud, and rude neighbors who blast music like they are the only ones living there. Seems like almost every resident has children also so if you don’t want to hear screaming kids outside of your window, don’t move here. If you are thinking, it’s just outside of Austin and for a great price, it isn’t. It’s not close to Austin and my commute is 45-hour with traffic. I can’t understand how you can trash the place you live. There’s dog feces everywhere, even on the sidewalks. Trash and litter just thrown on the floor. The walls are very thin. I suggest if you live anywhere near the pool, to invest in a sound machine. The sound machine makes it manageable. Your oven will work, sometimes. If it turns off mid-cooking just go flip the switch on the electric box and try again. Oh and the gate is so irritating as it barely works and if you like to use uber eats or delivery, expect to walk all the way to the front of the building to let them in since the gate doesn’t work. I still stand by Danzelle being a consistently pleasant experience at the Howard with his kindness and cadence. Unfortunately, it doesn’t out weigh the negatives to live here.

The Howard is a stunning property and the amenities are top notch. I have toured quite a bit, but I have to say, Danzelle, has been the biggest ray of sunshine through my experience. He was inviting, kind, knowledgeable, and really made me feel happy and excited for this new chapter of my life. He really made me feel good about moving here. Danzelle is amazing at what he does and I loved...

DO NOT be fooled by the beautiful building and landscape of this community. If you want to be woken up every night by loud partying at the pool and common areas, smell smoke from people smoking on the non-smoking property, see dogs and children using the landscape areas by the pool as toilets, share paper thin walls with your neighbors (so thin you can literally hear EVERY word clearly) and have the management do nothing about it, then this is the community for you. I have lived in many properties like this before and I have NEVER had to make any complaints, let alone post a public review of my frustration. I have sent multiple complaints to management, Ive had to call the police to get people to turn off music at 3am and still management has done nothing. They have not done anything they have promised to resolve these issues. So here we are... I've added photos because it wouldn’t let me upload the video to hear how loud things are but happy to share if you’re interested . This is just one of at least 8 incidents from different nights that I have experienced in only 3 months of living here . Do not recommend - one star because it wouldn’t let...

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! I have been living here since April 2025, and I regret signing my lease every single day. I honestly cannot wait until it’s up.

For starters, my stove has not worked since the day I moved in, and I don’t think it ever will. They claimed to “fix” it in June, but it went out again weeks later and hasn’t worked since. Maintenance even closed my request without actually doing anything they entered my apartment, walked right back out, and marked the ticket as complete.

The walls are paper-thin. I hear every step from the person above me, even their toilet flushing. On top of that, neighbors are inconsiderate, blasting music past quiet hours at the pool. I’ve also had two dogs running around without their owner, and one of them jumped on me, getting my work clothes dirty.

Communication here is just as bad as the maintenance. Management already knew about the stove issue, as it’s a community-wide problem, yet they never disclosed this before or after move-in.

Bottom line: this place is overpriced, poorly managed, and not worth the stress. Save yourself the frustration—do...
