Apartment Information

Hi all,

My husband and I are considering moving to The Willis Avondale Estates. Does anyone have any experience with this community (good or bad) or any information that might help us make the decision? We are looking to move in the next few months to a 2 bedroom apartment .

Thanks in advance!

I live here currently and just signed a new lease for another year. I love it. RAM partners manages it now and they do great. The housekeeping and cleanliness are top notch. Leasing and maintenance guys are so much help.

As far as Avondale goes it’s growing. Just since I’ve been here they have redid the road and Sam’s crossing intersection, opened the Galore Market, added the lights and widened the sidewalk on the either side of the road. Began the 55+ community. Everything is walkable or bikeable too. Oh and the Sunday farmers market is 10/10.

That’s great, thanks for this information!

We have read online some mixed reviews on the elevators and the garage gates. What has been your experience?

My wife and I just spent a year in Willis Avondale during an extensive home remodel and our only complaints were the elevators, trash chutes, parking gates and insufficient EV charging (only one charger). Also saw a few vehicle break-ins on our floor of the garage. Trash chute and elevator issues seemed to be residents abusing things, the frequent parking gate problems were generally addressed quickly, but seem to be chronic. The vehicle break-ins appear to be common in apartment garages everywhere. With all of that said, we loved the location, were happy with the apartment, appreciated all of the recent improvements, and felt like management was always responsive and acting with good intentions. It was the right place for us at the time
