|Recommended: YesGated community is 1 of my priority — It’s alright if you’re not to picky
Hello We are sorry to hear that your not completely satisfied with our community. Kensington Gate is a 30 year old community that has been in the process of upgrading our units. Please feel free to come to the office with any concerns you may have. Our door is always open.
|Recommended: NoStrict, stressful, affordable, bargain, clean — I feel like the company currently in possession of the properties demands its residents to live like they are living in some historical museum even though I have kept my apartment spotless I get the sense I will somehow be kept from my deposit as I have come across some shady apartment managers in my past and this definitely fits the bill . I feel frustrated with the parking situation and sometimes wish the gates didn't exist because once the visitor lot is full it seems like a struggle to allow anyone to park in the several empty spaces within the gate that stay empty all week. I completely agree with the no smoking policy but the no vaping policy is kind of over the top. its water vapor that sinks to the ground and dissipates and doesn't leave a smell so I'm confused as to why vaping on my porch is such a big no-no instead we are forced to vape in the middle of the parking lot where we are bound to come across way more residents. I also feel like our carpet was installed very poorly. you can see that it was cut too short and doesn't even reach the wall in some areas and the molding that holds it in place looks like it was installed by a blind man. I have a giant mud hole in my backyard that the mowers keep driving over and every time it rains it gets worse. Finally, the staff seems stressed out a lot. other than all of these things mentioned, I really love living here, its a great area and I feel safe. I unfortunately will not be renewing my lease when it is over though due to the aforementioned issues.
Hello we are so sorry to hear you’re so unhappy with the policies the owner has in place. In regards to our parking policies we currently have which is stated in your lease along with a sign on the gate entrance that also states residents parking only,is in place for all of our residents safety. As far as our smoking policy goes as also stated and signed by all residents at Kensington Gate, we allow smoking and vaping 25 feet from all building entrances as does many other business. We cannot allow one and not the others. We were unaware that you were having issues with your carpet. Please feel free to come into the office to discuss your walkthrough and any other concerns you currently have. We’ve enjoyed having you both as residents since last summer.
|Recommended: YesOk living — It is alright, the parking can be frustrating at times though
Thank you so much for the 4 star review. We are working on the parking and have just received the new parking permits which should help. A letter will be going out to all residents to stop by and pick one up. I'm glad to see that you do have one of our carports for your car. Open parking inside the gate is for residents only and we should have enough for everyone. All guest need to park outside the gate when visiting at all times so residents always have a parking slot.

|Recommended: YesPeaceful and wonderful living — The apartment complex and residence are well taken care of. There's light in every room and a tranquil layout that makes coming home peaceful. I enjoy the gated community and the amenities are well taken care of. Overall, for the price and area, right off the 512 and i-5, this is a perfect place for a commuter that wants to have a great space for living.
Thank you so much for the kind words in reviewing our community. Kensington Gate appreciates each of our residents and take pride in our community. Our staff are so happy that you have chosen us as your home.

|Recommended: YesPassing Review — I like the apartment and maintenance is really good.
Thank you so much for your review!~
|Recommended: YesGreat property — Quiet place to live. The Staff will work with you on any issue you have. Maintenance fixed my issues either the same day of the following business day. I would recommend this apartment complex to anyone just moving into the state or area. I got fast results and approval for my apartment and I had not even began to clear post at fort Hood. They worked with me through my whole PCS process.
Thank you so much for your review on Kensington Gate. Always remember we are here for you as our resident at anytime, just email or call.

|Recommended: YesSolid property, parking is limited sometimes. — Apartments are all I could ask for. Parking is at maximum capacity at the late hours of the night, so if you get off work at 8-9 pm and are pulling in through the gate around those hours, you may end up parking in the outer parking lot for the night.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate you as a resident!
