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.

It's a cheaper option in the area if you are highly concerned about the money you pay. But, few things to HIGHLY CONSIDER. 1) Be careful on the time line. Their full year leasing contract is ONLY FOR 11 MONTHS. Calculate well on how much you will be paying and see whether you have other options you can consider for $20-30 per month difference. 2) The front desk people are not very careful with the information they are providing. After I got my lease confirmed, I asked them to verify my new address since I had to ship my stuff to the new address. Since I was having some issues with shipping, I contacted them again and then they told me a different address. Basically, they were telling me to use 2 different addresses, which is a huge issue after I have already ship my stuff. 3) You will NEVER be able to talk to the manager, if a problem comes up, unless you are willing wait for a long time for an appointment. I haven't even moved in to my apartment, but I have these concerns. Update: Apart from above, some of the people (RAs and Maintenance) working here are really friendly and helpful. They helped me with my moving some of the stuff into my apartment when I was coming in. I had few maintenance requests since I moved in and all of them were taken care on time. The surroundings are safe.

this community has potential, but anyone considering moving in should know what they’re actually getting. the buildings haven’t had any real updates to the interiors or exteriors in years. most of the improvements are small cosmetic touch ups or fresh paint, but the equipment and appliances are still the same older models. for the price they’re charging now, especially with how often the rates keep going up, the value just doesn’t line up. - one thing residents notice most is the rent increases with no upgrades. people renewing are paying more to live in the exact same space with zero updates. management explains the higher prices by saying they’re “keeping up with the area,” but they don’t mention that the surrounding apartments are newer and offer better layouts, better materials, and better maintenance. you can’t compare older buildings with no renovations to modern communities that actually invest in updates. we’re already living in units that haven’t changed in years, so the increased cost doesn’t add any real value. and if you look online, the pattern is obvious. the same complaints repeat year after year, from different residents, across different review sites. it shows nothing has really changed. people move in and people move out, but the issues stay the same while the rent just keeps going up. - maintenance on core systems feels overlooked. the ac units inside don’t seem to get deep cleanings, and the exterior units look like they’ve been in place since the buildings were first put up. that can lead to dust, old debris, and other buildup that never really gets addressed. water outages happen at least every couple of weeks, and the wi-fi can go down randomly, which gets frustrating for people working or studying from home. - security also isn’t as strong as it should be for the cost of living here. it’s not unsafe, but it doesn’t feel consistently monitored either. a big thing to understand is that the complex tends to focus more on keeping the property visually appealing rather than updating or modernizing the actual living conditions. the buildings themselves were built before the 2000s and haven’t had any major renovations. units are often turned over quickly between tenants without deep cleaning, which current residents notice. - ceilings are low enough that most people could reach them with a jump, so if you’re expecting high or modern layouts, this isn’t that kind of property. if you just need a place to sleep and move on with your day, this can work for you. but if you’re trying to make a real home with updated features and a stable living environment, this might not be the spot. overall, the place looks nice from the outside and the community can be comfortable, but just make sure the price matches what you’re actually getting. residents here will tell you the same: it’s liveable, but it needs real updates, not just cosmetic ones ps: watch out for the bugs ~ and i have not even mentioned the basics that still fall short. the laundry machines barely hold up. the pool is there but not maintained in a way that feels updated or inviting. the parking has no coverings to protect cars during rough weather. one hail storm could easily leave someone dealing with repairs for months, which is the kind of thing a lot of newer complexes protect you from with covered or structured parking. and staff posts fake 4/5 star reviews to try and cancel out all the 1/2 stars **attached are some recent and older reviews**

Paid $1,500 for a studio apartment, the apartment flooring is unfinished, window sill shades are broken, new paint stuck on the floor, bathroom unfinished, cabinetry unfinished and sticky all over. Apartments are loud at night. Smells like weed sometimes, weird Indian food, smells like smoke some other time. They have *3* gates they could use, but they only use one. A lot of reasons for management to charge such a high price I guess (?) when a normal studio apartment costs $900-$1,000. The ONLY reason I'm still paying for this is because of the lease I signed and its proximity to campus. In general, these apartments are NOT a good investment of your money unless you have a specific purpose for moving in. The bad reviews are likely true and are likely written by irritated people (of which I am one). Overblown on some reviews, but I'd say most of the 1 star reviews are true (after reading some of them). If you decide to move in, please consider asking management about the smells, noise, and 'kinks' you have to deal with moving in and living here.

I’ve been living at Centennial Court for a year now! When I first moved in, I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the older reviews. But honestly, my experience has been completely different. It’s felt like home from day one—comfortable and hassle-free. I haven’t faced any of the issues others have mentioned. No roaches, no water problems, no WiFi issues—everything has been smooth. Of course, with a property this big, it’s understandable that maintenance can’t be everywhere at once. But ever since the new maintenance team came on board, I’ve received prompt support whenever needed. Overall, I’m genuinely happy living here!
