City Parc at Fry Street, denton-tx

I had a good experience living here. The kitchen is very spacious and the sink is nice and deep. Rooms were clean on move-in and had very few maintenance issues upon move-in and while staying there. Never waited very long for them to be fixed. Their gym is very nice and has a lot of equipment. Front desk people were always helpful and kind (shoutout Nicholas and Kai). Their main office is always quite nice with both mac and windows PCs, and a little movie theatre you can use. They do not have elevators. There is a number of AC issues throughout summer. They are very old and likely need replacing. There was a month-long period where it was 75 or above (briefly 78-82 for a week) before they stopped by. When it hit 82 front desk people stopped by after hours and gave us a window unit (thank you Nicholas and Kai). I agree there are a number of cockroaches (at one point one fell from the ceiling onto my partner while we were eating) and we were on the third floor so I imagine it was even worse on lower floors. I think it's pretty hard to find a place without cockroaches in Denton though. At one point they offered stuff for people to leave good reviews and while I think a lot of places do that it does not sit right with me, so from now on I'm going to look at other sites for reviews. I signed at $709/month for a 4b 2b. A roommate of mine signed at lower $600s which seemed to be one of the better deals they offered. All three of my roommates stayed at City Parc and re-signed at even lower rates so they also have a good experience. I think your life will be easier if you look for roommates early and interview them through their app, I liked all my roommates and we all helped one another out and were very considerate. The location is also nice as it is right next to campus. Bed is ok but would recommend a mattress topper to make it cozy. They do not tow which I appreciated so I didn't have to deal with assigned parking or have a guest towed. Overall I had a good experience. I think part of it depends on the unit you get. Everyone was pretty helpful and kind, but they should fix the AC and treat for cockroaches more often.

DO. NOT. MOVE. HERE. First of all, I would like to begin with saying that I sublet this unit for a month and nine days. This was an absolute nightmare of an experience. The AC units do not work. Unless you want to come home to your pet panting and on the brink of death, don't move here. While I do not have an animal, one of my roommates did and this is something that you will want to avoid. After submitting a maintenance request (for multiple different accounts, this didn't happen only once in a one month timeline) they took their time communicating what was happening while our apartment was uninhabitable at 86 degrees for multiple days. After several maintenance requests for different AC issues, I had to get the City of Denton involved and all of a sudden changes had been made? I would also like to add that this apparently happens every year to multiple units. These people are cheap and take all the short cuts. The AC in the amenities also does not work. No use in paying for something that is too hot to go into. Take pictures of EVERYTHING. I was charged for damages there that I submitted within my move in documentation. Take photos of appliances, living spaces, bathrooms, bedrooms, everything! They will try and charge you for every little thing in these cheap apartments so document! Amenities, there are the music practice room, an art studio, gym, pool, and a pickleball court. Only consider being able to use the pool and pickleball court since the AC does not work anywhere. They do not keep stock of the gym paper towels and cleaner so it's just nasty. Animals, while there are pet waste containers around, there are never any bags. There's poop everywhere (like all apartments) but these people do nothing to prevent it. The office, the staff in the leasing office was incredibly polite, but they never answer the phone when you need them to in business hours so I almost always had to call multiple times and walk over to the office. I don't appreciate all of the issues I had and the manager never wanted to speak to me. I understand that this is a college town, but I would not feel neglected if the staff had just communicated. I always had to be the one reaching out on issues that were not being worked on, that they were aware of. They will take advantage of the fact that you are a young student living on your own for the first time without your parent being there to back you up. American Campus, they also operate Uptown and U centre so avoid those as well. Apparently they share their maintenance staff which is the excuse they gave me when I needed something fixed within 24-48 hrs. Yes it is close to campus but trust me when I tell you, dealing with these issues, ESPECIALLY the AC is not worth it. Living here felt incredibly barbaric and the wellbeing of their residents did not matter.

❌ ❌ DO NOT RENT HERE! ❌ ❌ Parents and students, beware of City Parc at Fry Street. ​If you are cosigning or funding your child's apartment, be extremely cautious. They will process and renew leases without guarantor approval and with zero proof of income. ​Just three 3️⃣ weeks after my daughter, a first-time UNT student, moved into her apartment, City Parc sent her a lease renewal for the following year. Feeling pressured by her roommates at the time, she signed it. When it came to me, I explicitly declined to sign as her guarantor, but the handling of lease agreements here is completely questionable. ‼️ Updated to add : I sent multiple emails and the majority were ignored and they still had me listed as her guarantor for the lease I refused 🙃. It is surprising that they answer a Google rating but not me personally. Attaching proof that I already reached out multiple times. Responding to Google is just an appearance of trying to resolve an issue that they have not tried to resolve for 4 months ‼️ ​To make matters worse, the rate they pushed her to renew at was almost $150 more per month than what they currently offered. Since the renewal rate was so high, reletting or subleasing the unit is virtually impossible... nobody is going to take over a lease that costs more than what the front office is actively advertising. ​A few other critical issues you should know before signing anything: ​🔨 Maintenance is terribly slow: Routine requests take far too long to get addressed. 🕷️ ​Pest Issues: The apartment had a constant spider infestation. City Parc failed to fix it, so I ultimately had to hire and pay for an outside pest control company to remedy the problem myself. ​💨 Roommate Transfers and Drug Policy: They did allow a transfer to a different unit at one point, but it was a disaster. The new roommates smoked weed constantly, and their boyfriends practically lived in the apartment. Management seemed fully aware of the marijuana use, as it literally smelled like weed on move-in day, yet nothing could be done about it other than "allowing the roommates time to clean". ​🚫 ❌ Save yourself the stress, safety concerns, and financial headaches. Look elsewhere for student housing.

DO NOT LIVE HERE! This place is absolutely disgusting, and the management doesn't care at ALL. I go home every single weekend just to leave this awful apartment. I'm scared to go to sleep half the time because I see roaches everywhere and I hear squirrels in my AIR VENTS. Not kidding. Sit in the parking lots outside the apartment buildings, and you'll see squirrels scatter up the walls and into the openings. I am a huge neat freak and deep cleaned my apartment DAILY and still had these issues. Don't even bother speaking to employees, the management straight up told me that they don't want to put nets over the vents because they would have to replace them every 6 months. For $2,000, this is a scam and there's so many newer, better options in Denton!

Staff overall seemed nice and helpful when I lived at City Parc but if you can help it, please do NOT move here. Our very first move-in day was essentially a cleaning day with all the dust covering the included furniture. We also lived on the first floor which invited its own host of problems, the main one being the cockroaches and millipedes that would frequently get into our bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen from the gaping cracks between the floors and walls. No matter how many times they came to spray, we always had them. Even my very last day cleaning (again, because dust gets everywhere because the vents most likely don’t get changed as often as they should), there was a cockroach in my bathtub. This isn’t even including the general rundown feel of the apartments, the wasp nests that would gather ON our front door frame, and the A/C that would go out in the summer because nobody had been putting coolant in it. For $2000+ a month between my roommate and I, the issues we dealt with here were outrageous. It 100% feels like they take advantage of the fact that college students need to be close to attend class and the thousands of dollars in loans they’re eventually going to owe. If I could ask for a full refund and my fear of bugs back, I would. My partner and I just got approved for a LUXURY apartment three-quarters of the price and 200+ more square feet in a much better area, trust me folks, there are other options out there!
