Uptown Houston comprises the area east of Interstate 610 between I-10 and I-69, a large swath of the city that blends the relaxed pace of the suburbs with urban glitz and energy. One of the area’s most famous attractions is the stunning Galleria, the largest shopping mall in Texas, which employs thousands in its high-end boutiques. Nearby, a thriving dining and entertainment district supplies the neighborhood with an eclectic variety of off-hours attractions. The sprawling Memorial Park sits right across the highway, and locals love to stroll through the Houston Arboretum and hit the links of the Memorial Park Golf Course.
The local housing market ranges from single-family homes to high-rise condominiums, with many surprisingly affordable apartments in the mix as well; while the section closest to Interstate 610 and the Galleria tends to be more urbanized, most of the neighborhood is suburban in nature.

Property Ratings at Barcelona
The first week I moved in the ac went out, my apartment reached temperatures of 94 degrees, they fixed it after two days and a month later it went out again. They have to turn on the heat for the complex, so whenever there is a cold front the apartment is freezing. Management gave tiny heaters that broke after a month. They have been stealing money from residents by charging the insurance rate to residents evens if they have renters insurance. I asked them to remove it the first month I noticed, and they said they would. It’s been four months and they keep charging it. They have been extremely dismissive and have still not fixed the problem. This place needs to be fumigated. They make you pay for it, but they haven’t done it. There are so many bugs, it’s disgusting and frustrating. You clean and clean, but they get in through the holes in the walls and through the pipes. I have no idea how much money I have spent on roach traps. I have a cat and he caught a mouse. At night you can literally hear the mice in the walls. The entire apartment complex is falling apart. The floor boards are separating. The roof leaks when it rains. The laundry rooms are always filthy. The machines never work. The grounds are very neglected. There are pot holes all over grounds. I have submitted so many service requests that get “completed” only for them to do nothing. The entire time I have lived here one of my burners hasn’t worked and neither has the ice maker in the fridge. The electricity is completely shut off in the living room, entrance way, and staircase OUTSIDE my apartment if the light switch in my bedroom is turned off. I literally have to always leave it on, if not the outlets or any of the lights in those other parts of the apartment don’t work. I called multiple times for them to come get it looked at, and they said that’s just the way it is. “You get what you pay for” shouldn’t mean living in such awful conditions. I have no idea how these apartments are allowed to function.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused
This property is a disaster. They have recently changed management companies, however nothing can fix the issues at this location other than a demolition. There is rust in the water, roaches, rats, fleas, leaking pipes, etc. In the past year, the AC has been out a total of 7 times. I have witnessed mold in vacant units being painted over and hidden, packages stolen, appliances stolen from units, straight lies from management, the list literally goes on forever. The water temperature goes from scalding hot to cold, there is no middle ground in the shower. The baths have all been resurfaced poorly such that the tile itself is resurfaced as well. The paint jobs are a joke. There is paint literally everywhere. A neighbor had mold in his unit that they refused to have fixed/treated/removed. There are neighbors that let their dogs run loose constantly, that fight at all hours of the night, and that walk around their units with the windows open, naked. Management does not return phone calls or emails. I have tried for two weeks to get a work order in. The manager says, oh yes, we'll get that done for you, and then it never happens. They new management has put in stainless steel appliances and granite into the vacant units (which there are plenty of) and have increased the rent by $250 bucks. Current residents have gotten nothing. It feels like they are just ignoring us until we move out. The plumbing is abysmal. The toilets are constantly clogged. There was a sewage leak onto the grounds and the city of Houston actually came out and inspected the place. The pool has NEVER been open. It is always green. The dumpsters are overflowing as residents are constantly moving out. The laundry room hardly works. The washers are only good to use if you fill them halfway. But watch out, the roaches really like to hang in there because the sewage cap is right next to the entrance. The walkway by the laundry smells like urine and sewage all the time. The roofs leak. I can't even explain how awful this place is. It's a joke. The rent isn't even cheap enough to make up for it anymore. Whatever you do, don't live here. It is a mistake.

We are working everyday to better our community and improve it. Although we know this, we also understand that this is a large property and issues arise. We want to help, and ask you to come in and please visit with our Manager today so we can both design a plan of resolution.
I would like to take the time to write and show my appreciation to the staff of this property. Rick is a great manager and so are the hardworking Service team members Walter and Frank. These guys really do not get enough credit for their hard work. Management and Staff from my experience as a resident do what is humanly possible to promptly respond to any inquiry or service matter. What residents must remember should any major issue arise on property as with any housing complex, is that there is a corporate procedure and budget. Therefore, some matters require more time to resolve and it is not the onsite staffs fault for any delays in corporate approval or additional budgetary matters. Moreover, with this being an older property there will be some issues expected as with an older car and things breaking down or being outdated. Mind you, there are a few things that I would like to see improved however the purpose of this review is just to give my overall general impression of the property. In sum, the amenities for the price and location are worth it. The market is competitive and I would say this property stacks up pretty well among the rest for this area especially for the age. Keep up the good work Barcelona! Resident since October 2017.
I have been living here for 6 months and it has been the worst 6 months of my life. There is a ridiculous amount of roaches and rats. I have even waited outside of my apartment with my newborn daughter for two hours because there was a possum on the stairs going up to my apartment and I could not get anyone to come get rid of the possum. My bath tub has been clogged for weeks and the office staff never put in a work order. My ceilings are molding and cracking and my roof has started to leak into my home in 3 different places. Every time I've tried to call no one answers and no one is ever in the office. I do not recommend these apartments at all.property manager , rude , mean , and lye too much every month tenants are moving out , if you ask them the reason , one answer poor management , overcharging on the bills even if they're not functioning properly , and don't even seem to care .

I've lived here for about 8 months and so far so good. For the price, space, and location you can't beat it. Maintenance is attentive and friendly to me plus they made sure I was satisfied before they leave my apartment with my repairs. I get a covered parking space and it just has a warm feeling about living here. I had one small complaint which I contacted the nice gentleman that's the manager and he quickly handled it for me. Then he followed up with an email to make sure things were good. As I said earlier so far so good. I will be renewing my lease soon.

Thanks for your support. Yours Truly, Barcelona Management
I have been a resident for almost 2 years, and plan to stay ! It is a great place to live. The management and all the staff including the maintenance crew are courteous helpful and work very hard to handle any problems that come up. I have never had an issue that was not resolved in a timely fashion with great care and concern with a follow-up phone call by Michelle or Silene to make sure everything was handled right and to my satisfaction. I would recommend Barcelona Apartments to anyone, and I have. Again, thank you all at the Barcelona Apartments for all your care, concern and help ! Bill

We moved here 3 years ago. It is a great neighborhood, and since it feeds to one of the best elementary schools we thought it would be a great fit. Unfortunately after they changed management two years ago, it has not been a good experience and we are currently looking to move out. The ac is running on a chiller system that won't blow out below 76. The room temp is 83-89 and it is really hot and stuffy. All the town homes are like this. They have not fixed it and it's absolutely miserable. The water only comes out in two temp: really hot or freezing. Pipes are really old so they carry a lot of iron making your water rusty colored sometimes. Bedrooms are quite large in size but managemnet is not helpful when trying to get things done. They have gone through six maintenance guys in 1 yr and don't take responsibility or ownership.

I noticed that this review is from the past. We are under new management. It Sounds like you didn’t get provided with the customer service that Capstone Management is known to provide. I’m sincerely sorry. We pride ourselves good caring customer experience. Please contact me, I would like to fix things, if possible? My name is Rick English, and I’m the Community Manager. Please give me an email rick.english@capstonemanagement.com when you have a moment.
I have just renewed my lease at Barcelona, I moved in as a newly wed last august,moving away from my parents, safety was top priority.I did a ton of research before making a final choice and I'm glad i picked Barcelona. The Grounds are well maintained and Kept, the Parking lot, washing facility's, swimming pool, and Courtyards are always Clean.The Complex has just enough units so that you some what know your neighbors, and any issues you have are addressed in a prompted manner.We had a small leak in the restroom, it was taken care of in less than an hour, even though it was after the office was closed! The manager coordinates events on a regular bases in order for you to get to know the people who live around you, and you see her walking the complex inspecting the work of her maintenance team and she is always making herself available to the residents. After reading reviews, trying to find apartment i was nervous, but i was lucky to find this complex! The office staff is friendly and knowledgeable,your calls are always answered and they have a security guard on the grounds at all times, which i particularly appreciate because i get home late quite often. My spacious apartment came with updated appliances and a modern layout,i was even able to pick the colors i wanted my walls. All together i am VERY pleased with where i live, its quiet at night and on the weekends, and exactly what my Husband and i where looking for. I would very Highly recommend Barcelona!
