Centennial Court Apartments, arlington-tx

I have never seen so many roachs in my life. Everyday in the kitchen, I called pest control 7 times in a 5 month period. Roommates smoking weed inside the apto (and leaving food on the balcony until really roaten). Cabinets are the cheapest possible. Heat control has a burn smell. Non existent outside cleaning. Now, there is not even the two chairs of the kitchen to eat. Found silverfish on the matress when I arrived. Bathroom door has a really strong smell of cigarrets, closing this door equals snizzing. Living room sofa all ripped (it seems cat did it). Mainentence team is quick, and solve all major problems fast (eletricity problem, shower fosset, change toilet seat). Also, the office team and manager are very nice, and helped with they could. That would be the only upside in my experience.

1 star. I honestly wish I could give zero. This is the worst place I have ever lived, and I mean that genuinely. I’ve lived at Centennial Court since 2024 and it has been problem after problem from the very beginning. When we first moved in, there was no AC at all. The apartment was dirty, and every single room had baby roaches everywhere. That alone should have been enough of a warning sign. Since then, we’ve dealt with roaches constantly, mold issues, leaky ceilings, broken appliances, and maintenance that never actually fixes anything long term. There is absolutely no sense of community here. Residents leave garbage everywhere like it’s normal. Trash bags just sit around for days, sometimes weeks. On our literal first day moving in, someone left trash outside our apartment. When we asked what we were supposed to do, we were told to pick it up ourselves. It wasn’t our trash. I said no and had to submit a maintenance request just to get someone to remove it. That pretty much set the tone for living here. Management “tries,” but they are completely incompetent. Maintenance requests either take forever or get done in the worst way possible. I’ve asked multiple times for the bathtub epoxy to be redone and every single time it starts peeling within a week. Then I put in another request and wait a month for someone to come back and do the same bad job again. Pest control is just as bad. There was a point where they didn’t come for about six months and we had to handle the roach problem ourselves. In our second year here, there was a major leak in the ceiling. I reported it immediately. All they did was cover the hole. That was it. No real repair. No inspection. Nothing. Fast forward to today, February 5, 2026. A massive amount of water came pouring out of the ceiling and flooded the apartment. Water got into my room and completely soaked my carpet. There’s no padding under it and now mold is probably inevitable. I have renter’s insurance with a $500 deductible, so now I’m expected to pay out of pocket for damage caused by their negligence. When maintenance and cleanup came, they left a mess behind. Yes, they got the water out, but there was zero communication. No phone call. No email. No explanation of what’s going to happen next or when it will be fixed. We were told maybe someone will come back Monday or tomorrow. That’s it. Now we’re just expected to live with water damage, wet carpet, equipment left around, and no answers. This place is stressful, exhausting, and expensive in ways it should never be. I would never recommend Centennial Court to anyone. Save yourself the headache and live literally anywhere else.

Honestly, this place is a joke. I’ve been living here since Fall 2024 in an unfurnished 2B2B, and I’m currently paying $750 per month. Now they want to increase the rent by $85 for absolutely nothing, bringing it to $835 per person which is ridiculous. That’s $1,670 total for a tiny apartment, old apartment. For that price, two people can easily find a much bigger and a nicer place that at least has closets for keep our cloths and shoes; where this has nothing but the price! Nothing has improved to justify this increase. If anything, things have gotten worse. Last semester we had internet outages for days and water shutoffs, sometimes with no water even to use the restroom. As students, this made it extremely hard to do schoolwork or even live normally. Maintenance is another nightmare. I had a bathtub overflowing and still had to wait almost a week for it to be fixed, even after submitting multiple requests. And the funniest part is, their unfurnished apartments are now more expensive than their furnished ones. I’ve honestly never seen that anywhere in my life. I was actually did not care much since the rent was reasonable when I joined ($729), now there's no point of paying $835 for an unfurnished tiny 2B2B apartment. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.

Friendly community, clean common spaces, and close to campus. Building #9 was the best-- it was in the far northeast edge of the complex and easiest to walk from (12-15 min to dining hall and 7 min from library). However, the apartment complexes themselves were old and cheaply built. Things just kept breaking. Maintenance team was fast and courteous, but they couldn't fix everything (i.e. cabinet doors that flaked woodchips at the slightest touch, peeling bathtub bottom, paint splatters on the floor, room corners that didn't align at 90 degrees, fire alarm that went off 3 times without cause, etc.). My AC kept breaking because apparently I set the temperature too low (69 degrees). Also, there were small cockroaches huddled around the empty sink every time I entered the kitchen past 9pm. Weirdly though, I never found any in my room-- even though I got tired of my fire alarm malfunctioning at 3am one night and took it off the ceiling for the remainder of the semester, leaving a gaping hole to who knows where above my head. Also, tell maintenance to change the air filters!! Things accumulated dust too quickly. If you get a window that faced into the walkway like me, get yourself some window film from Amazon. But hot water is always available, even for late-night and early-morning showers. I do like that the complex is gated and secured. The UTA police will regularly come by and check that you have a parking permit. There's also a peaceful park right across the street, which I spent much time wandering around. It has a lovely creek and a small cemetery on the north end. I'd always stop and read the grave markers on my way home from the MAC with my smoothie (9 min walk). Overall a good place to live, but it definitely could be better in terms of construction quality. I loved my randomly assigned roommate, and all the other people I interacted with at Centennial, and I suppose it's people that make up a community. But man, those buildings sucked. If you can handle a stereotypically cheap college apartment, this one's for you.

We booked a tour and confirmed if im eligible to apply before coming. The guy who emailed us and confirmed we met during the tour and they showed the apartment. Then we were about to apply the lease the guy said we are not eligible . We showed the email confirmation and we said we don’t know the person who confirmed. He looked at the email and laughed and said it was him. He didn’t even know what he is doing. In the email he said “you absolutely qualify “ then he said he needs to check again with his supervisor. And then we did not look for any other places because we were thinking that he’ll confirm. But we didn’t hear anything back even when we called no information provided. They wasted our time money as we drove 100 miles thinking that we can get the lease . Then we had to again go for apartment haunting and had drive back and forth throughout the week as we couldn’t secure a spot. Very unprofessional and not recommended at all.
