Property Manager at The Sovereign at Regent Square, Responded To This Review
Hello! Thank you for acknowledging our maintenance team for providing exceptional customer service. It is a pleasure to serve you, and we are glad you are here. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please let us know.
concierge and valet are never downstairs when they should be. half of the gym equipment and coffee machine don't work half the time. tons of bugs on the amenity 8th floor pool area. management services have gone down in the last 6 months. The new manager is very rude and doesn't take care of the property they way we pay for it.
I've lived at the Sovereign for 5 years now and have loved my spacious unit, the central location, friendly staff, and the amenities, especially the 24/7 concierge, valet, and beautiful pool and gym!
Property Manager at The Sovereign at Regent Square, Responded To This Review
Greetings! Thank you for being a loyal resident. We appreciate knowing how much you enjoy our convenient location and wide range of amenities. It is a pleasure to have you as our resident, and we look forward to serving you for many more years. We are glad you are here!
The Sovereign has been a great choice for me as I moved in from out of state and was prioritizing a quality place that was safe and easy for me to get to work. The staff has been amazing and they truly helped me through the application process. The price for the space is fair, perhaps a little high compared to other places in Houston, but you do pay for the quality of service, community spaces, and security.
I am a proud resident of the Sovereign! There is no other place that I would like to live in Houston.
Building is deteriorating fast . Management, Concierge, Maintenance and Valet people are great . Some apartments are in very bad condition specially the one I just moved into !
My husband and I have been living at this complex for about a year now, and we love it. The view is spectacular and I dare say I couldn’t come up with a more perfect floorplan for us if I could pick any apartment in Houston. But the absolute best part of this place is the incredible maintenance crew. We haven’t had any serious issues, but like any complex, little things happen regularly. However, the moment you file a maintenance request, they start taking action. In particular, we have had phenomenal experiences with both Juan and Lou. They have done numerous jobs and our apartment, Far exceeding our expectations on timeliness and quality. But also, while they are in our apartment, they have both asked if there is anything else they can do to help. And they mean it! Living in a high-rise can leave you feeling like another number, maintenance issues being ignored or underappreciated. That is definitely not the experience here. If we ever have to move, I hope we get to take Juan and Lu with us to our next place! Truly, a phenomenal apartment complex in many ways. And what a view!
Maintenance team is always prompt, friendly, and informative.
We’re extremely happy at the Sovereign - the location is perfect for us, it has wonderful amenities, and the staff is extremely helpful, they always go the extra mile to make sure we are good - 100% would recommend!
Maintenance is always professional and exceptionally quick to provide a solution.
The concierge team, led by Kelly, is both the friendly face and attention to detail personality I was hoping for when I moved into a high-rise building. Overall my apartment is spacious but I will be loosing my downtown view with all the construction in the area. The pool will soon loose it's allure with a loss of view too, but that amenity hasn't been what it used to be in almost 3 years as management has never replaced the palm trees around the pool since before I moved in after the freeze of 2021, it's now February 2024 and they are just trying to replace them. Improvements in maintaining community within this building need to be made asap because things are changing and many residents are noticeably moving out, possibly including myself soon.
24 hr concierge, valet, incredible amenities, high quality homes, and an amazing management staff to boot. An excellent place for any Houstonian wanting to become part of the high-rise life.
Communication is not great. Most recent example: the pool and close by area will be closed for the next 2 months due to construction and the info came a week before the work starts.
The Sovereign is nicely located and the apartments are, for the most part, well designed. The plumbing is terrible. Water is routinely cut off to the units for repair. My smoke alarm is basically in the Kitchen so it has gone off about 50 times, driving me and my cat crazy. The windows in the bedrooms don't operate. But all in all, the Sovereign is a great place to live and the staff are all super nice.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. The apartments are clean, modern and I really enjoy living here! :)
I submitted my work order late at night and the pre- move-in issues were resolved the next day while I was at work. Additionally there was a note left with the list of work orders, what was done, and helpful notes about one of the appliances that I didn’t know how to use. I’m very impressed, and so happy with the service provided by The Sovereign.
My airconditioning is under "central control" for the last 10 days. I cannot change the temp and now I am constantly freezing, not to mention that my electricity bill will be very elevated. I sent an email to the management office and they have ignored me. This is not the service I expected. I have been in the apt. #1412 for 2 weeks!
I’m always impressed by everyone here! I’m always treated great and everything gets fixed very quickly.
I love living here. The staff is very attentive, responsive, pleasant, and polite. The building is also very nice.
The Team at The Sovereign is always so professional and goes above and beyond to provide assistance in all matters. I am truly appreciative! - Regina
The whole team is prompt, professional, courteous and makes sure the problem gets foxed! Thank you!
The Sovereign Maintenance Team (especially Lou) is the best! Always quick, efficient, & friendly!!
Excellent, responsive, and friendly - no complaints and very happy with the level of service
The maintenance team at The Sovereign are the best I've ever experienced having been a longtime renter in the Houston area.
There is too much smoking of pot and it makes the place seem sketchy, dirty, and low class.
I moved from Atlanta to Houston. This was my top choice, I did apply to others but when I found out I was approved here I tried to move in early because I was super excited! I feel safe here which was my main priority and the amenities were eye catching. I do wish the rooms and closet was a big bigger, the apartment is kind of tight. But overall they keep the property clean and everyone is friendly.
The Sovereign is a beautiful property in an excellent location, with premier amenities and friendly staff. It's a great place for people who want to be in the center of the city but still live an elite lifestyle.
I live in one of the smallest units, and despite the small size, it's very comfortable with great natural light and lots of places to read. The staff is super nice and responsive. My only complaint is the over sensitive smoke alarm. It's hard to cook dinner without setting it off.
The staff and tenants are great and responsive. The amenities are terrific and the building is very secure.
As a new Houstonian, I could not have picked a better place to live!
Nice place but amenities keep shrinking. Used to offer free beverage choices tea, decaf, regular coffee, hot chocolate in the library. Now only regular coffee - the only one of the above options that I do NOT drink. Also used to offer really nice breakfast/brunch at e.g. Easter time etc. now the menu has been drastically reduced. Still nice but only a shadow of what it was. Also, used to enforce the “headphones only” music mode at the pool. Now people have parties with loud music that you can hear from your apartment e.g. last Monday evening, with the music even getting louder as the party gets longer. Otherwise a very nice place.
When I moved in, my apartment was not ready and tape is still on the floor. This has not been resolved 4 weeks after move in despite putting multiple tickets and requesting manager support.
Nice building but poor management. Things take too long to resolve.
The Sovereign is located in the best part of town. The stores, restaurants and bars that are in walking distance are fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and delightful. The residents are respectful and friendly as well! Definitely recommend this apartment complex. Endia L
Lou is the only maintenance staff member who is dependable, courteous and timely. The other staff members need assistance and more training with customer service. There have been so many changes at The Sovereign that this place is barely recognizable. It's a shame because it used to be a proud place to live. The Sovereign has become a total embarrassment for Windsor Communities.
My service requests are taken care of in a timely and efficient manner everytime! Very happy to know we have a dependable team here at The Sovereign!
As always, my maintenance request was completed promptly and perfectly. The maintenance team is truly one of the best parts of living in this building.
Great management and staff. Nice and pleasant residents. Wonderful place to live.
The Sovereign was great place to live a year ago. Construction along W. Dallas is frustrating and loud-nothing to do with Sovereign Management but I can no longer enjoy my patio during the day or sleep past 7AM. I live there about 1 week a month and it's still annoying. I've recently looked at other apartments and the value elsewhere is better than The Sovereign without the continual construction noise. Lifestyle fee is hefty for what you receive.
I am very pleased how quickly maintenance shows up at my apartment.
The maintenance staff are well trained and efficient. They are also vey friendly and courteous. These guys are good and a pleasure to have working for you.
The maintenance team here is as good as I have ever seen! Super quick responses, great results, great cleanup, always a note left behind detailing the work, and extremely courteous on site. A great element of living here! Awesome!
The people that work there are great, but the state of the apartment is not. I was expecting a luxury apartment and all I received was a facade. Luckly the maintenance team was there to fix all the small issues that I noticed but they won't be able to fix the buildout. Anyway, I'll be here for the 15 months and then I will find a new apartment. Thanks.
The Sovereign is located in a great area and has amenities that make you feel like you're living in luxury.
The maintenance men are always so kind and polite. They have such great attitudes and always happy to help.
AN excellent property well maintained. Very friendly and courteous staff
I am just completing my second year of living at The Sovereign and absolutely love it. Judith and her entire team are top notch and help make my living experience here that much more enjoyable.
Moving into the Sovereign has been the BEST decision we could've made. I wish I would've made this decision sooner.
The Sovereign's location is ideal, the parking is convenient and the management couldn't be more professional or helpful. I'm looking forward to a long stay.
