The Venue Apartments

The venue has really pretty apartments. That doesn't make up for the fact that during the summer the air conditioners do NOT work and it is a cool 84 degrees in my apartment at night. I also do not like the fact that my washer works half the time and the other half of the time it shakes violently. There online bill pay is a great idea, however you can not see your previous payments and it never says how much you actually owe. This online bill pay also charges you a $9 convenience fee for each card processed per month. When you go to tour the apartments they will tell you that for a 1x1 the electric should be no more than $40 and the water $30. This makes no sense and I can tell you that my water ranges anywhere from $40-60 and my electric $65-120. Also during the tour they will show you the computer lab. This is a great feature of the complex except that most of the time there are viruses on the computers and there is usually no printing. When you are about to sign a lease they will say most 1x1 apartments have hardwood flooring throughout and fans in both the bedroom and living room. 1. The floors are laminate 2. Fans are only in bedrooms. So I hope you chose to not make the same costly mistake as I did for the past year. Thanks but no thanks venue I will not be recommending you to anyone.Read More

I loved this place! From the beginning they made it a fun experience for me to move in. I didn't have any issues with this apartment complex. For student housing, it was perfect. They have a tanning bed, pool, gym, and lounge area! Great for student living :)

I've lived here for a few months now, and while it isn't perfect, I'm definitely happy with my apartment. I'm in their smallest floor plan, and while it definitely isn't roomy, the layout is very efficient. The bedroom is small but the walk in closet it great! I've put in a couple of maintenance requests for minor issues (vent in the bathroom not working, small leak under the sink) and they've been resolved very promptly. The location is great - it's about a mile from the UNT campus, so it's close (but not too close). The pool and workout room are both small but clean and well maintained. The staff have been very helpful and friendly.Read More

If you are moving here, make sure that you ask to tour the exact unit you will be moving into. We settled on just looking at a random one and ended up with something totally different that what was shown. There were many things wrong with the apartment, it was very dirty, and there are cockroaches. We have asked many times to have our problems fixed, and received promises that they would, but nothing has been done. It is a nice enough apartment, just wish we had a better personal experience.

It is not the best apartments in the area, but it is far from the worst. Maintenance usually has a good turn around time and do a good job. The inside the apartments are okay and the walls are not too thin. The dumpsters are constantly overflowing and they are strict on parking. Management needs to do a better job. Overall the apartments are decent for college students.
