The apartments themselves are decently nice upon first glance, but the management (manager specifically) is kind of€¦idk how to put it. Again I€™ve lived here for quite a few years now and every time she sees me I get questioned on if I live here, what I€™m doing here, etc. and as a young person of color I definitely feel singled out in that respect. Recently the water pressure in all the sinks and showers have gone down the drain, and no one ever picks up the phone. I€™ve had my car broken into and it just so happened that the cameras (trail cams at the time) were all erased. Now there€™s not even trail cams up. I€™ve been accused of leaving out my dogs restroom but €œit wasn€™t filed and we did that for your benefit€. No ma€™am. There needs to be proof and I know for a fact it did not happen like that. Our dishwasher was not installed correctly and the maintenance team had to collaborate to figure out how to screw the placements in since it was installed directly under a stone countertop. When they send you a notice to fix or remove something, details are not included and they€™ll come back and be like €œoh well we meant this€ after you€™ve done all the work in 100 degree heat:/. Again the buildings are decent for subsidized housing but lord have mercy the manager gets under my skin like nobodies business. The assistant manager (male) on the other hand is extremely nice and I way prefer dealing with him over the manager (female). It€™s like dealing with that mother in law that no one wants to deal with honestly. I€™ve made it a point to befriend many of my neighbors and some of them have had even worse experiences with the manager.All in all the apartments and amenities are totally worth it€¦but if you can€™t deal with a monster in law as your manager I would not suggest it.more ...hide ...
My mom lived in an Old Apartment Complex in Converse for over 20 years. They never repaired anything, painted or even changed out the carpet.

They never repaired anything, painted or even changed out the carpet. There was roaches everywhere and the mold was in every wall. I finally convinced my mom that it was time for her to move. I checked around for places for Seniors on fixed incomes with no assets. There are several around but the one thing that made Merritt Lakeside stand above the others was the level of activities the staff provides for the residents.I placed her on the waiting list and i had little hope to be able to get her in anytime soon due to the long waiting list. Within 2 years, I was called and asked if we were still interested. I said that we were. I brought mom to the complex to see the many things that they had to offer. We submitted all the paperwork and were accepted. She officially moved in on April 1, 2020 during the pandemic. Many activities were canceled and mom didnt like being on the 3rd floor since she uses a walker. There are elevators all through the complex so going between floors is no problem. Once she was moved in and she got used to the layout of the buildings, she loved the complex. It was just hard for her to leave a place after 20 years, even if it was a terrible place.The first time she submitted a request for maintenance, she was surprised that they took care of the request that same day. She loves going to Bingo on Wednesday and once more activities open up, she will have a busy social life.We just renewed moms lease and the office staff were very nice and took the time to make her comfortable signing all the paperwork. The Manager Vivian Alvarado came out and visited with us as mom signed the lease. This community takes care of their residents. My mom signed up and received her Flu Shot and the Johnson and Johnson Vaccine all at the apartment community.If you are looking for a great place to call home for yourself, or for a parent, then give Merritt Lakeside Senior Village a try. The opportunities are endless at this Apartment Community.more ...hide ...
