Canyon Creek Heights South Loop Rd, Richardson

Lived here from 2017 to 2020. I had a pretty good experience barring a couple of things. The parking situation is not good, there are not nearly enough parking spots to accommodate the residents, and they don't enforce the parking during the weekends, so whenever there was a soccer game/tournament/event the spots that WE PAY FOR were occupied by these people. I also had to deal with a cricket infestation for a few months. All in all though, I had a nice time.

So I moved here from the Res Hall on Campus and I can say the aspects so far have increased dramatically from when I was living in the Res Halls. The rooms are spacious and feel like an actual apartment which is great when compared to the resident hall from before. The water pressure from the shower is still pretty weak but you get an actual shower and bathtub which is great. The place is fully furnished and everything works fine and properly but outlets are a bit hard to use and require much more force but other than that everything else is pretty much great.

Huge gamble depending on what room you picked. If you picked one with a drainage pipe running next to it, have fun going to sleep. The amount of incessant noise created from water dripping down, when it is raining and days after it has rained, is enough to drive you insane. The saving grace is, the internet is fast. But how much do you value internet over your sanity is the question? Oh and by the way, the poorly designed drainage pipes that creates the incessant noise is, "part of the design". Yeah, the people who made this place didn't really care about the details.

Really good apartment/dorm compared to the Res Halls, but the damn emergency alarms go off every time someone starts a cooking fire or when they do a covert fire drill. They go off in every room while it’s “being verified”. It’s incredibly loud and will sometimes even goes off at night. Did I mention there’s no way to tell if it’s a drill, minor cooking fire, or an actual emergency? Someday a bunch of residents are going to die when there’s an actual emergency and nobody bothers to go out because of the false alarms.

Hot water runs out in 5 minutes. Put in two work orders and emails to housing but they won't fix it.

Pro tip: don't build student housing in an area that's constantly flooding.
