It’s my first year living at Cambridge Oaks and by far their biggest asset and my favorite thing about living here is the attentiveness, kindness and accommodations from the staff. Particularly the RAs have been top notch. My RA, Haley, has been nothing short of awesome. From the very beginning, she was very welcoming and has maintained that ever since. She responds very quickly and efficiently, is obviously knowledgeable and useful in dealing with certain situations and above all, has been so kind. She’s happy to help and I feel very comfortable going to her to ask for help. It’s been so nice to have that kind of support system there and I do feel that, at least from my experience, the staff at Cambridge Oaks is very unique in the way they interact with residents. It is rare to find a place where pretty much everyone is this kind and accommodating.

One of the best places I have lived! Amazing looking apartments at an outstanding price point. Obviously it’s not perfect and stuff did go wrong sometimes but what is important is that anytime there was an issue it was fixed in a timely manner by an amazing staff. The RA Cameron Ricks was especially helpful in not just fixing the problems I had but making me feel welcome and being friendly. I recommend this place 10/10 because as someone who has lived many other places I can tell you every single one no matter how expensive will eventually have issue and it’s how management handles those issue that is important. Cambridge Oaks staff handles issues well and tries to make you feel important. 10/10

I had a pretty good experience at Cambridge. My RA (Epstein Jacob) made sure everything was taken care of quickly, and is very responsive to anything we had to ask about. The condition of my building was decent as it wasn’t the worst but it also wasn’t perfect; however, considering the price, I think it’s acceptable. I’d definitely stay here again if need be.

Horrible place to stay for collge students. DO NOT LIVE HERE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I dont even know where to begin from. Firstly from the Extra charges every month ranging from Administrative Fee, Trash Fee, Cleaning Fee, Damage Charges (Because someone else broke something in THEIR room) and unreasonably extra utility charges. The total will always be 200-300 extra than what you see on the lease so might as well live somewhere nicer,Their WATER shuts off two days a week since the past 2 years I have lived (Screenshot Attached) Gets annoying when you have a class or an exam but no water. Their electricity goes out and they keep blaming city of Houston for it.My AC was out for 32 days in hot june Houston weather. After several complaints they put a Window unit, which was not sufficient for the room itself, let alone the kitchen and the living room in 100F, totally a non live able condition.My unit had Molds in the room and bathroom, Photo attached, It made me sick and I had issues breathing, they would just come in and bleach over what mold was out on the wall, without fixing the actual mold Inside the wall or the source of mold, It kept giving me allergies.The staff is very rude and careless, they would not care about residents problems, they hire students in the office who literally have no experience and are working to get free rent. They will always blame you for anything that happens and will always try to charge you for something every month. The parking is horrible and the exit/entry gates do not work most of the time. The laundry goes out of service various times a month.They hate giving security deposit back and would find excuses to keep it. They never issues my my return check, until after various correspondence and a Legal letter, they returned me my deposit 104 days after vacating the property as opposed to the Laws of Texas. (Email attached) The good reviews that yall see here are because the RAs themselves would text us, insist us to give good review on google, so most of the good reviews are due to the incentives offered to certain people for posting a good review. Dig down deep to see some actual reviews. There is a lot more to say honestly, like the Pool was always closed, fire alarms would keep screaming e.t.c

Loved my experiences at Cambridge oaks and the community that is built through the staff. I especially loved the dedication that RA Cameron Ricks had to make us feel welcome and supported both in school and with our personal lives! He went above and beyond his job and definitely cares about all his residents.

I lived at Cambridge Oaks for a few years and during my time there the staff was very helpful. My Resident Assistant was Sneha and she always put on fun events for us residents. She was also helpful anytime I had questions about renewing my lease or anything else. I really liked the apartment style living and it is so close to campus. The staff is also really good about making sure the property stays clean which is cool.

I absolutely loved my experience living at Cambridge Oaks Apartments. It was truly incredible living in newly renovated apartments on University of Houston’s Main Campus and having everything I needed in walking distance. I felt very safe and secure the entire 2 years I lived there and the Assistant manager, Lindsey, went above and beyond to help me with anything I needed or any questions I had! They always threw the best resident events and it was so wonderful to be involved and get to meet so many wonderful people I now consider close friends! If you are needing student housing, look no further, this is the place for you!

One of the best apartments to live at if you are going to University of Houston. Very convenient location and the staff is amazing and helpful. My RA, Sneha, was very caring and planned many fun activities for her residents. The bus stop is right outside the main gate so you can get around campus easily. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my stay at Cambridge Oaks, very safe place to stay, they have security on site every night. Very friendly staff and Tomi was my favorite RA, always helpful when I needed help and responded in a timely manner. The only thing I recommend is to take pictures when moving out, so you have evidence before they charge you for damages that you did not even do.

Old apartment. Has cockroaches and ant. One staff is rude but others are good.

Definitely have had some run ins with pests that I wish I hadn’t but the location of Cambridge Oaks is great. I’ve lived at Oaks for two years now and the staff this year has been great. My RA Epstein has been so friendly, accommodating and always provides us residents with any information we needed/wanted. Overall I’ve been had a good experience here at Cambridge Oaks.

My RA Priscilla is great! She is very patient and works with me whenever I have a problem. Also she is very nice and answers all my questions. I would definitely recommend staying at Cambridge oaks!

Loved living at these apartments because of the proximity to campus! Sneha made sure all of residents’ questions and concerns were addressed in a timely and helpful manner. All of staff are very nice and professional. Definitely recommend choosing Cambridge Oaks as your home away from home.

Its a good spot to live near to UH campus. Convenient because you dont have to commute and the apartments are renewed.

I live here for more than 2 years and my overall experience is nice. The best part is the staff! Especially, I would like to mention Tomi, who goes out of his way to help me and I really appreciate him! :)

I lived at Cambridge for two years and had an amazing experience. The staff is very friendly and includes students also attending local university which made them more relatable and great friends. The management including Lindsey and Earl, are very knowledgeable and very attentive to any needs that residents have. I would definitely recommend this complex to a friend.

Haley is by far the best Resident Assistant I’ve had. Nobody has been as attentive to issues that I might have, she’s super sweet to my pup, Hammy (Cambridge Oaks is the only pet friendly student housing on campus), and she hosts some pretty great events. Beyond that, the entire staff seems very nice, and I’m excited to see what post-Covid Cambridge has to offer. I’m thoroughly impressed thus far, and can’t wait to renew my lease with their new offers!!

I have lived here for two years and love it! The staff is friendly, accommodating and address your issues professionally and quickly. If you have any issues you can talk to your RA and have the support of the staff and managers. It truly is a great place to live and I wouldnt change my decision even if given the chance. :)

Comfortable and affordable apartments. My RA, Alexandra has responded quickly every time I have reached out to her and has made a real effort to get to know all of us. Despite COVID making life difficult, I have loved living at Cambridge.

I LOVED my experience at Cambridge Oaks! The atmosphere there is absolutely amazing. Dashawn and Lindsey were always extremely helpful and quick when responding to my emails. My RA Priscilla was always there to help me when I needed anything and was very quick when responding to my messages in our groupme. Cambridge Oaks is a great place to live!

I love staying at cambridge oaks it’s clean, well ran, and the staff members are available whenin need and are more than helpful. Staff members like Cameron are super friendly and hard working. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

I have been at living at Cambridge Oaks for two years and I am entering my third year, I love living here. My RA Cameron is always there to help me out if I ever need anything. The internet connection is always reliable and the maintenance staff works super fast. They host fun events and we win a lot of prizes! I would definitely recommend living here.

With prices being attainable and a convenient location to the University of Houston. Sneha Varughese made a easy search for a campus apartment. Well spoken on details and was generous to reach for additional information about the amenities of Cambridge Oaks.

Fall 2020 semester was my first experience at Cambridge Oaks. If your looking for standard living and accommodation then Cambridge is for you. You get your basics, but the staff is what makes the place enjoyable. Particularly, my RA Sneha Varughese. Her communication about community events and information helped keep me up to date with everything Cambridge.

Cambridge Oaks Apartments are wonderful! They have awesome staff that is extremely helpful and work hard in making Cambridge a cozy community that feels like home! Sneha is an RA that exceeds the bar in accommodating your needs! Check it out and ask for Sneha!

I visited this complex not long ago, and it was definitely a great experience! Sneha, was absolutely wonderful! She helped me with all my questions! Thank you so much Sneha!

This is the second year i have lived in this complex and honestly worst mistake of my life. they are inconsiderate to the fact that their customers are college students and security is absolutely trash. a girl had her car stolen at gunpoint in front of the front office in broad daylight and Cambridge did NOTHING to increase security or protect their residents afterwards. all security does is sit on the stairs in the front and talk on the phone all day. they are never there when you need them and even if they were they probably would not be any help. the apartments are also small and never cleaned properly when you move in. despite renovations back in 2016 they still have ants EVERYWHERE. yah the RAs are great like most of the good reviews say but they ask you to do that and what is the point of having a good RA if the apartments are not safe. if you are thinking of renting an apartment close to UH, do yourself a favor and rent one 15 minutes out into the city for a better price and MUCH better quality.

My RA Epstein was the best and was always so quick with her responses! Truly made my time here better!!

As an affordable and convenient place to stay at near campus, Cambridge Oaks is a good option. Maintenance is very responsive to completing requests (theyre also really friendly), the internet connection is stable (great for online lectures), and the management team is readily available to help. Also, Covid safety is frequently promoted which is great! Although the apartment initially needed some cleaning and there were some bugs, as long as you tidy up the place during move-in and spray the room with Raid, you shouldnt have roach problems if you keep the place clean. And quick shoutout to my RA Cameron for always being there if I need help with anything!! As a college student, this apartment complex is a nice and quiet place to live and study.

Looking into sending our son to stay on campus next semester, and took a virtual tour with an RA named Sneha and she was absolutely lovely. She addressed any concerns we had regarding COVID as well as questions regarding student living at Cambridge Oaks. We are still considering other possible locations but if the service and care that was provided by Sneha an indication of Cambridge Oaks then I will definitely have my son living there.

The RA Sneha is the most hardworking and dedicated RA I’ve known. She goes out of her way to help when anyone needs it and she always makes everyone feel included. She truly makes Cambridge Oaks a joyful place, always being goofy around property! I would live here again in a heart beat because the atmosphere Sneha and the other RA’s provide is wonderful.

I love how it’s easy to communicate with management. I would recommend working with Epstein or Lindsey if you are getting an apartment here!

Cambridge is affordable and has really responsive and helpful staff that make the complex feel like a second home. I can’t speak for all of the RA’s but my RA, Epstein Jacob, has been very helpful throughout this current semester.

The staff are really nice and alert people. My RA Sneha was really cool and always helped me when needed.

Been living here for a semester and have had no issues. Epstein is a great RA, highly recommend living here!

Tomi a cool dude and cool RA well done ! He brought me food

If youre thinking about living at Cambridge Oaks, dont. The high reviews you see are because they offer incentives to residents who post them. When I first moved in, I had spiders, roaches, ants, and crickets in my unit for weeks. I had to contact maintenance THREE times for them to fix the issue. The AC also constantly went out leaving us sweating every night.They also will not let you cancel your lease for any reason. Because of the coronavirus outbreak, most residents moved out but still had to pay their lease even during an emergency. They have no sympathy whatsoever for any situation. Makes sense because everyone working there is a student just doing it for the free rent. Their pedestrian gate was also broken for weeks threatening safety in a dangerous part of campus and if you get locked out you have to pay a huge fee for them to simply let you in. I hated my time living here.

I’d like to say my time at Cambridge oaks over the summer was amazing. When my A/C got broken many times it was fixed fast. I love the community here and everyone is so diverse and welcoming. I appreciate one of the staff members Christina who is an RA I believe. She’s worked diligently and is a respectful person. She is a good leader and sets a good example for all those who work with her. Give her a raise.

[This review has been edited from its previous review, which was not positive]In the past year I was moved into a newly renovated apartment. The apartment is clean, facilities work nicely, not too much noise. Fantastic location and amenities. Staff are friendly, maintenance is much quicker than before. I have minor complaints but for the location/price it is a steal.

The place is semi decent, really. Its an overpriced apartment just because its close to campus. I think compared to the other apartments around UH, Cambridge is a little more trustworthy because my emails to them actually felt like I was talking to a human. The UH dorms are preferable if you have the money, still blatantly overpriced though.The utility Bill didnt make sense when COVID hit. We were still charged 15$ for the month of March and April even though everyone had pretty much moved out by the end of February.One thing I cant get out of my head is the smell. God. the smell isnt terrible but mildly off-putting. I couldnt step into the apartment without absolutely hating it.The walls and doors feel hollow, like they werent made to be real doors or walls or that theyre way too light/thin.

Terrible place overall, do NOT live here by any means. Roach infested, extremely poor management (all college students that dont care), and lazy maintenence crew. I had even a mouse problem in my unit, and their only solution was to patch up the hole. Heard that thing making a ruckus everytine late at night and early in the morning drove me nuts...but staff wont ever seem to care. Also never received my security deposit, even after inquiring about this many times, always a different excuse. I could also tell they were charging me extra every month for utilities. This place will take advantage of any college student, just avoid this place by all means.

Im a current resident and one thing I love about Cambridge Oaks is how close it is to campus. All the student workers are great at their job. My personal favorite is Andrea. Management has really improved over the years. 10/10 recommend living here!

Stayed here for 3 years. One of the better places to live on campus. Its a very involved and affordable housing option with events happening almost every week. A special thanks to RA, Rushil Patel, who would always strive to resolve any issues I had immediately. Would definitely recommend!

Cambridge Oaks has been my home for (coming up on) almost a year. The renovations made in the units exceeded expectations, they are appealing and bring a home-like comfort. So far my experience has been wonderful. My first encounter when I first arrived for my move in was with Kassem, a very helpful and attentive resident assistant. From there forward when I paid visits to the office or had a question or concern, he has helped me greatly, efficiently, and effectively. I highly admire his work ethic. If looking to lessen your commute to campus I would highly suggest Cambridge Oaks as it is in close vicinity, affordable, clean, and etc.

Incredible staff and management, they are very helpful and are always on top of things. The apartments have improved so much! They just finished remodeling all the units and I have not had any issues. Also, it’s a pet friendly place. I would recommend living here!

Extremely clean and well ran complex. They always throw different types of events monthly to try and build a community amongst the residents. Cameron is very helpful.

This apartment is wonderful! Its like a mini community within these gates and they are willing to help you out in any way, especially the RA Andrea. I would recommend this place for anyone.

As a junior going into my senior year soon... I’d like to say that Cambridge has been my favorite place that I have stayed at. The place is welcoming, everyone is respectful of each other and the staff is very friendly and attentive. A member of the staff that comes to mind is DeCalvis Butler. He is always making sure us residents are taken care of and always makes an effort to meet and get to know the residents. It makes the complex feel more like home. Cambridge Oaks is definitely a place to consider when living on campus. Welcoming, friendly staff, cozy apartments and affordable. Thank you.

Cambridge is the perfect distance from UH to walk or ride your bike to class! The staff is fun, friendly, and theyre always doing events with fun activities and free food to show their residents that they really appreciate them choosing Cambridge. The apartments have been recently renovated and look much more modern than before, along with the office where you are able to work on homework if the library is too far! I personally recommend living here, great community!

I lived there for a month. The stove was broken and I noticed carpet stains. In the bathtub there was plaster falling off. Like others I looked at reviews online and went ahead with Cambridge oaks and to my surprise I didn’t enjoy the apartments at all. I had to move out as next semester has gone online. They showed no sympathy against anyone financial needs they made me pay a cancelation fee for fall even after knowing how corona virus has affected the university. I wasn’t even living there for 1 month but still somehow they made me pay for utility ! When contacted by email I got a ridiculous reply just stating the amount that was due when I clearly asked for something else in the email. Do not choose Cambridge oaks.

I’m a current resident at Cambridge oaks, and honestly it’s amazing! The people that live here are very friendly, all of the workers are very helpful especially Christina! I would highly recommend renting an apartment here!

I have never had bugs in my apartment. The rent is the cheapest for the proximity to campus. Office staff is amazing except for one whom had publicly defamed my roommate to the university for vehicular destruction of the sign by the gate and she doesnt even have a car. I find that despicable looking for a scapegoat and pinning it on the innocent. The dean of students said there was no way it could have been her yet Cambridge Oaks is trying to charge her for the sign. Maintenance will treat you like you know nothing so hounding them is the best way to get things done. I had a leaky window resulting in mold. The first guy came in and said then close the window. Once I got a maintenance person who wasnt belligerent we had to go through some trial and error fixes and a few carpet cleanings after a bad rainstorm, but we finally got mold and leak free after a few weeks. Same thing with the A/C early on. Whoever lived here before us trashed the unit and a sub par job was done of fixing those problems before move in, but when we went to them with concerns the office staff were very accommodating and even fully replaced the battered appliances for us and I found it reassuring knowing that they are on your side. All in all I would live here again next year despite the Minor things I have seen.

Close to campus and reasonable prices. Love the RA and management staff. Ive been here all my years at UH and have had no desire to move elsewhere. SO to the RAS Decal and Kaseem! They go out of their way to help!

I’ve been living at Cambridge Oaks for the past two years and I must say that I’ve had a great time. The proximity to the college campus along with affordable rent makes Cambridge Oaks ideal for students. Also, the management team and the Resident assistants are extremely helpful and very approachable. Special mentions to Rushil Patel for helping me out on many occasions especially the one time when he’d found my lost ID outside the premises along with a Cambridge oaks key chain . I appreciate the fact that he took the time to search in the database for my name, figure out my room number and give me back my ID.

I was(still am) concerned about my son and his room mates moving into this apartment complex this fall, after I read horrible reviews on another site. They were: Roach infested. Air conditioning breaking often and taking multiple days to fix. Apartments not cleaned when the new tenants move in and POOR communication. According to the reviews on this site it is a wonderful place. I trust that this apartment complex will hold up to the high standards that the reviews are telling.

The best feature of Cambridge Oaks is its proximity to campus. The staff employs several fellow students who are very helpful. One of which, Kassem, has been extra helpful during my stay at the complex.

Ive had a positive experience all along. Calm and peaceful. The resident assistants are great at what they do. Rushil Patel always willing to help and patient.

Cambridge Oaks is terrible. They have children working in the front office who dont know the difference between up and down. The maintenance crew is decent but it takes them forever to fix things. The apartment was filthy when I moved in. The water spouts are rusted. Paint is chipping. I had to personally get rid of ants in our apartment because the exterminators hired by the apartments couldnt do their job right. Your guests are subject to get their cars towed.For 3 months I put in work requests to fix my breaker box in my apt. Every day my electricity would cut off 2 to 3 times a day. The children at the office kept telling me there was no way anything was wrong with my breaker box because they had just had the breaker box inspected. Instead of listening to me they accused me of having too many things plugged up even though there was nothing plugged up in my room. The manager was very rude. When maintenance finally came out they confirmed it was the breaker box that was allegedly inspected.No one in the office knows the first thing about leasing. The only person who knows even the slightest bit about leasing is Ryan and hes never in the office. Everyone else is just there for show and they have no real importance. All they do is give visitor passes and put in work orders. Jessica Thrash is annoying and rude. She has been rude to me and my roommate every time we have been in the office and now they just hired more new people who dont know what theyre doing.These apartments are over priced and are a bad idea for single students with no kids

Lived here till December. Great community and great RA. Had a couple of issues but they were resolved quickly by my RA Rushil Patel. Would recommend

I really love living here because the atmosphere is very nice and welcoming and my RA Kassem is extremely helpful whenever i need anything or have questions. Overall, it is a safe and nice place to live.

It has been 4 months since I moved out, please return my deposit as promised.Don’t choose the 2b2b with 4 people.Really bad living experience.1. their water likes breaking up all the time. You will receive the email recently to tell you you will not have water all the day time.2. Bugs and cockroaches everywhere. I think their extremely old amenities is also a problem.3. What I can not tolerate is the rude staff here, they are undergraduate student and actually know nothing about the apartment management because they will always answer you to ask for the manager because they don’t know. Or sorry they will have a midterm so just wait for two weeks and then, no any news. One time my fire alarm was screaming but there was no fire so I come to the office to let them closed it. The two staff here told me they couldn’t because that’s the responsibility for the security staff, I had to wait for the fire alarm screaming for 20 minutes. The two staff continued to chat like there was no one.4. I have a roommate problem, I chose the 2b2b semi-private with four people, because my roommates like overnight TV party with many friends. I had to sleep for class the next day. I asked the office to help with me, they just say Okay but did nothing. Nearly two months later, they let us to sign a agreement which was useless because the Laughter and noise continued.5. In May, I have a vacation to LA for two week, when I came here, just found a horrible apartment and two of my roommates left(pictures ). I literally cleaned for half day because from 12 pm I arrived home till 11pm that night. As for the dirty spot on the carpet, I emailed the office that was not my part, but they charged me because it was a shared room.6. About the move out I was really tired and I haven’t received the deposit refund as they described it would mail to my new apartment last week. For someone new student who want to live here because on campus living Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!7. Updated news, they accidentally charged me 225 USD for no reason and After I came to talk, they promised me to return because that’s the mistake made by their repair company. Let’s see when Can I get the money back. i will update the progress. If someone live here has the same experience that you were charged with no reason, come to the office to find their manager.

Cambridge Oaks is the best !!! Management is always attentive to your needs. The people that live here are the friendliest. The staff is always helpful. Our experience with Cambridge Oaks has been the best. I would highly recommend living here !!!

Worst place I have ever lived. Frequent water/electric outage, old amenities, and overpriced. There are a few things I have experienced: Had my utility fees charged twice and never notify me there was a system error. Bad internet connection during finals.( can’t even open browsers) Roaches in my bathroom( had a professional pest control said there was a big hole under the sink and that’s why the roaches came). Poor soundproof. Bad smelling came from the AC. Kitchen disposal leaking happened 3 TIMES when I lived here. The washing machines are old and some of them are not working.Charged me for around $1,200 for this kind of living condition. Staffs are nice, maintenance is nice, the location is ideal. Other than these, this place is the definitely not worth the rent.

The overall living experience is pretty laid back. The management is very accommodating and is more than willing to answer any and all questions you may have. The environment is very fun and safe, all while being a few minutes from campus. Rent might be a little pricey, but I think it’s worth it given the close proximity it is to campus. Now that the entire complex is getting renovated with better kitchen appliances, I would only imagine living here would be even smoother.PSThis might not affect any future residents, but due to the recent changing of the Internet provider, I have gotten some trouble with doing assignments in the comfort of my own home. I guess my only critique is that the timing for these renovations kinda messed with me and my current schedule.

Overall it is a safe, nice, and professional apartment complex. The only time Ive ever seen a roach in my apartment is if I slacked on the cleaning for a couple of days. If you keep your place clean you will not see anything. I love living here. Most of the people who complain on here are just over sensitive. Ive had a nice experience. Staff is nice and they hold events every now and then which is fun. The rent is expensive but its worth it to be so close to my classes!!

Great faculty! Everyone is very nice and professional and easy to work with. Filling out the lease is very easy. The RAs are excellent. DeCal, Gabriel, and Cameron are all great people and excellent examples of the fantastic staff here.

Good place to live. Dont get fooled by the location. I have live here for 3.5 years and no problems. RAs are very helpful. Rushil is one of the RA that is always helpful, day or night and he guides you through everything.

Christina George is a wonderful RA at Cambridge Oaks. This individual goes out of her way to make sure the residents are comfortable and satisfied. Christinas welcoming smile and positive energy allows the community to truly live, learn, and grow together!

Its a great place, really underrated among housing sources at UH. Theyve been doing a lot of reconstruction and so the apartments are well kept. The RA Christina is really sweet and helpful!

I’ve been living here about a year now and as a whole I really love it. The apartments are spacious compared to newer ones being built however they do show their age, but supposedly that will be fixed over the summer. The WiFi is acting up but that’s also supposedly being worked on. Staff is super friendly and generally on top of everything. Best place to own a pet or pets. The only thing is I wish staff was a little more clear about when they were coming in to check things instead of giving us like sometime between these three days, but that is because I’m worried about my cats getting out. As a whole I love Cambridge Oaks.

This is my beginning of third year in Cambridge Oaks and I am satisfied. I have a positive experience because of Good management - reasonable people. Maintenance request are taken care in within 1 or 2 days and it is Extremely close to University. I had one bedroom to myself and may be that was one of the reason for my peace of mind while living here.

Overall great experience. You can see the age of the buildings don’t know how it will be when they remold them on the summer. Staff is friendly and helpful. I like living there so do my cats. Wish the remold had last summer before I moved in lol. Any minor inconveniences is been dealt with.

The location is very convenient and cant be beat, and it feels much more at home than other options on campus, but there are many disadvantages to this place. Overpriced rent for the area, frequent break-ins (common in most places in the area), but most importantly very poor service from the management. They enter the units to make changes unannounced and without warning, some of which take away from the quality of living at that apartment. They removed window screens without returning them for a whole year. I imagine this might cause pest control problems for some residents. When the AC breaks down (frequently during the summer) they sometimes wait a week or more before maintenance even comes to look at it. When big changes are ordered from higher up management, the changes happen quickly and without warning, such as the unreliable electronic locks they installed. Residents experience is not a concern for them.And if course when it was time to move out, they miscalculated the amount which should have been returned to me from my deposit; this has still not been resolved.On the upside, they allowed me to end my lease early (for a hefty fee) after finding someone else to move in, which I appreciate.

Just thought Id post something that happened at Cambridge today.Aggravated Robbery Case #13-1545 UHPDIt was reported to police that on Monday, November 25, 2013 at approximately 4:12AM, three black males entered an apartment at Cambridge Oaks through an open window. The males were reported to be wearing bandanas over the lower halves of their faces. Police were advised that one of the males held one of the residents at gunpoint. The complainant advised the males took two laptop computers and one external hard drive and then left the apartment. There were no injuries in this incident.Suspect description:Suspect #1: Black male, approximately 56 to 58 in height, medium build, medium skin tone, 18-22 years of age.Suspect #2: Black male, approximately 510 to 60 in height, medium build, medium skin tone, 18-22 years of age.Suspect #3: Black male, approximately 510 to 60 in height, medium build, medium skin tone, 18-22 years of age.All three males were wearing dark colored clothing.Weapons: Small frame silver semi-automatic handgun.Vehicle: No known vehicle

An amazing place to live in and it is right next to campus!!!! Kassem is one of the most helpful RAs and has made my living experience great! They host so many fun community events every month to get the whole complex united with one another

My time in this apartment complex was a very unpleasant experience. The rent was too high considering the age of the building and the level of maintenance. Also there are lots of cards and stickers to pay for in this place like gate card, door card, parking sticker, and – at some point- laundry room card. In addition, embrace yourself for ants, cockroaches, unleashed dogs, and flying bats. Over all, this place is good for its location to the UH campus otherwise it is not worth half of its monthly rental fee.

My experience here has been amazing with great staffs and freindly neighbours. The apartment itself is really clean and roommy. There is everything you need to live comfortably on a college campus. If theres an issue you can put in a request and theyll fix it. Whats more, it probably the cheapest option on campus.

Ive been living here for two years now and this place has really set an example for other student housing companies on how to constantly improve your services. They have remodeled their units AND their leasing office, hired enthusiastic staff (shoutout to Kassem!!), and created events that you can tell are genuinely meant to help us residents out. Their investment in our well-being is evident and maintenance staff is polite, helpful, and reliable. In addition, the cost is incredibly affordable compared with other options around UH. I recommend this to any student who wants to be within walking distance of the university, live in a nice apartment for a great price, and be surrounded by responsive staff who watch out for you!

I lived in the ghetto of Detroit for over 15 years...this place sucks more.I am typing this now because it is the middle of July and the AC in my apartment has been out for 2 days (in spite of the maintenance requests I’ve submitted and the several trips to the office I’ve made) in over 100 degree heat. Additionally my hot water has been out for 3 days, and the WiFi was out for a couple of days earlier this week.Although these deplorable (but temporary) conditions are what spurred this review, they are not the only reason I am writing it.Though the location is relatively convenient in reference to the UH campus, the rent is overpriced. The WiFi has gone out for weeks at a time on multiple occasions, and they have shut the water off for maintenance 7 times in 3 months (for over 8 hours each time).There have also been several instances where I have been locked in the complex for several hours due to gate malfunctions (causing me to miss whole days of classes), and the back gates are padlocked, so there are limited exit options.And finally, while I understand that it is difficult and uncomfortable to deal with disgruntled residents, the staff (comprised purely of undergraduate students) sucks. Most of my experiences with the staff have been negative, remedied only by the managers that have proper training. I truly feel terrible when I get angry with the staff, but it seems to be the only way to to get their attention.I have lived here for nearly a year (my senior year), and I would almost rather go back to living in a dorm.DO NOT RECOMMEND

Great place to live very convenient since it’s close to campus I’ve never had any problems.

Ive lived at Cambridge Oaks Apartments for the past 2 years and I absolutely love it! All of the RAs are amazing, but Saanji is by far my favorite RA there!

I stayed at cambridge at it was a great experience. My RA was Rushil Patel and he was nothing but diligent whenever there was any problem. 100% would recommend.

Enjoy my time at Cambridge Oaks, staff member are very helpful when you need something done. Staff member Rushil Patel, specifically, has been really helpful throughout my time here at cambridge oaks.

If you want someplace nice or even somewhat decent to live, Cambridge oaks is not the place to come to. The management lacks professionalism and work ethic, they are always late on attending to issues you might have. For what I paid it was NOT worth a dime. The apartment itself is low quality and worn out. When I arrived to my new unit, the kitchen appliances, cabinets, closet, restroom and back patio was a mess! I usually dont write reviews because I dont care that much, but Cambridge oaks is definitely a place I want to warn people to STAY AWAY from. Do not make the same mistake like me and move somewhere else while you can.

These apartments are by far one of the best student housing apartments around. They are very generous, kind and supportive in your endeavors. They also host programs that make you feel included and always has great food! Christina one of the RAs has such a great heart and make sure that everyone is getting what they deserve. She goes above and beyond her call of duty and is a valuable employee. She is one of the reason that make Cambridge Oaks worth living at. Cambridge Oaks’s room is also very spacious! The community is very quiet so you will not have to go to the library to study. If you don’t pick Cambridge Oaks, then I dont know what your doing with your life.

Lived here for one year and it was TOO much. Terrible staff. They dont care about the residents. OLD apartments. They WILL take your security deposit at the end of the year so be prepared to lose it. Horrible experience with them. They charged me late fees constantly. Living there was miserable.

Dont do it. I chose to live here for personal circumstances and its close to campus. The day I moved in, my apartment was not ready. There was spilled food and liquids in the refrigerator, roaches were everywhere (including the freezer), everything was filthy. The shower- filthy. The floors- disgusting. Ive drowned my bathroom walls and floors with bleach and it is still dirty. My roommate discovered mold covering her closet walls, all they did was paint over it. The wood flooring is cupping and rising. It is also rotting. Management is okay if you talk to the right people: Jessica and Ryan. Katie is okay, but she was interim and I think she was over her head. However she is nice. Some of the student workers are a tad bit ditsy. They keep forwarding mail of another resident to me, even after I made them aware that the address and name isnt mine. If you could afford to live somewhere else, do it. Im staying another year because itll be my last year in school. It wont make sense for me to move.

Worst experience ever, I hope could give them 0 star. They showed an unit, based ln that we dediced to rented. I did check in and got an unit, the next day they told us that there was a mistake and my room was another one. We were in shock when we saw the bathroom, we got a handicap unit - which we didn’t request, but the bathroom was HORRIBLE tile walls were stained or dirty, I can’t tell you, tile floor looks like were losing grout, disgusting, looks like a bathroom in a dirty gas station. We asked to get another room, and they said that there is no more rooms available, so we requested to cancel the contract if they can’ provide a decent unit, and they said that it is not possible, they pretend we pay the full summer rent for a room that we can’t accept. WORSE Customer service EVER

Ive been living at cambridge oaks for one semester and it has been a blast ever since. I moved in because of my long commute to school, and its been great so far. Ive got to meet so many great people including my roomates and staff. Speaking of the staff, they are so helpful with any question you might have, one special Resident Assistant that really helped me alot is Kassem, he is always there when you need him, he is always so helpful!, i reccomend cambridge oaks over other campus housing because of the reasonable pricing, Close commute, Great living spaces, and amazing staff!

Really not worth the money ! Safety issue as well if you are walking inside the campus area. Maintenance a hassle. I never got back my refund and also had to overpay the last 3 rents because of system issue. Those refunds are pending for more than 2 years now!!

Great place to live !! The only one on campus where you can have a pet!! We are getting new kitchen during the summer !!yay

At first after reading all of the reviews I thought how bad could it really be? Be warned its bad. I have lived here for almost 2 years now and from day 1 my experience has been tedious and unnecessary. Upon arrival my unit was not ready for me to live in. It was LITERALLY TRASHED. There were chicken bones and other types of food on the floor just thrown everywhere. It looked like someone had been squatting in there. The walls and doorways were destroyed and the bathrooms and showers caked with dirt. It took 3 days after school for them to make the unit remotely habitable. Despite their efforts the unit is still very low quality resulting from poor maintenance procedures and very cheap materials. They will do the absolute minimum work required when they are repairing things around here to cut costs. Throughout my time here my unit has leaked 3 times, 2 of the times being severe. During one of the leaks it took me 2 days to get them to stop the water. After that they left all of the ceilings and walls the way they were to allow them to dry out for 3 weeks so they wouldnt have to replace the drywall. This resulted in a mass growth of mold making my roommate and I very sick. Besides my specific units problems, most people I know here have apartments in very similar conditions, some need to be condemned. Every move in day there is a line of students complaining about the lack of readiness or cleanliness of their units. Overall the entire property is very old and needs to be gutted internally. They say they are making renovations but dont be fooled. They are slowly painting the outside of the apartments and apparently plan on redoing some of the cabinetry and painting a bit. But it wont be finished for a long time at the pace they work around here. I wouldnt pin these problems directly on the on-site staff and managers because they can only do so much given the resources provided by upper level management. The fact is the owning company doesnt really care about the quality of this place. All in all dont live here. There are other apartments on campus such as Cullen Oaks, Bayou Oaks, Calhoun Lofts, and most recently the Vue. All of these locations are cheaper than Cambridge Oaks and much better quality.

DO NOT LIVE HERE! This is the most disgusting and disturbing apartment complex i have ever seen. The best way i can say it is just stay away, thankfully im just here for the semester but save yourself and just stay away from this place, the fairest way for this business to give back to there residence is to go out of business and let another company come and take care of it, there is not one thing about this place thats good. DO NOT LIVE HERE!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I lived here for a year and loved it! RAs such as Kassem make it a very friendly community!

I lived here all four years of my college degree. The first two were great, but after that the management changed and the complex greatly suffered. The new general manager is overwhelmingly rude. I emailed him several times about issues I was having and he did not even have the courtesy to respond to me. The complex upgraded our internet, than charged each resident 40 dollars for the upgrade without any prior notice. When the upgrade finally came through it was significantly worse than the internet we had before. Attempts to complain get you nowhere. My roommate assignment was not given to me until the week that I moved in this past year, which I also found unacceptable. Again, attempts to provide feedback are dismissed by all levels of management. And if thats not enough to deter you, just remember that youre paying 400 dollars a month for a fourth of a small apartment to put up with all that crap, and theyll try to charge you ridiculous amounts of money for cleaning or repairs after you leave! Live in the dorms, or live off-campus. much better value for your money.

Great place to live if you go to UH. walk to class. lots of grass to walk to your dog

Lived at Cambridge Oaks for 2 years and it was pretty fun. Kassem was a pretty chill RA always helpful.

So far, I have convinced 9 people to live at cambridge oaks, even after having stayed in campus dorms. Im not getting a cent from cambridge for it either, but I really believe cambridge is the most affordable option there is for housing at UH, and gives the most freedom to its residents. Ive stayed here for 3 years, and they have replaced the fridge, stove and oven, and microwave with new ones, remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms, and my rent went down because I renewed my lease early. If Earl, the leasing director, cant help you with a problem, no one can. My RA Kassem is a big help too, and he answers any ridiculous questions I have at any time. The maintenance guys are doing backbreaking stuff all the time, and I really appreciate how much work they do for the entire apartment complex.No place is perfect though, so dont expect everything to go according to plan. Keep in mind that a lot of my small complaints will have nothing to do with cambridge, but they do exist if you stay here so you should know about them. My room is very close to cullen, so I sometimes hear some wannabe racecar drivers. The metrorail that comes by likes to honk even if no one is in their way. People have no idea how to pick up after their pets, even though cambridge provides FREE baggies for them. The gate is constantly being fixed because people decide to drive in from the exit, or they drive full speed at it while its closing. I even saw some people drive into the gate itself while it was opening. Also, the fire alarm likes to go off if youre cooking. And lastly, because I always renew my lease so early, I never get to enter any of the contests about renewing the lease, so Ive missed out on every single one.

Pros: No bugs. Also, maintenance has always come within a reasonable amount of time. There havent been any break-ins while Ive been here. They allow pets, and theres a pool.Cons: Rent is way too high for apartments this old- my roommate and I each pay $680. We also each paid over $100 for the utility bill- I suspect its because the air conditioning is super inefficient.The pet fees are also astronomical.I preferred Cullen Oaks- its cheaper and a little nicer.

My son has lived at Cambridge Oaks for almost two years and is happy there. He has a one bedroom private apartment. (a little over $1000/month + utilities) The apartments are older, but are great for a college student. The office has responded quickly to any maintenance issues. They treat units frequently and safely for pest control. We had one issue with a roach coming up through the drain and they were there first thing in the morning to take care of it and to prevent any further problems. While I was visiting, I came out and my sons car had been sideswiped in the parking lot and the driver just left with no note or anything. I feel that could happen anywhere, so we didnt even bother reporting it to apartments. The air units and internet arent great, but not horribly bad either (sometimes a/c units need charged). You get a good cable package and internet supports gaming. The dumpsters are on one side of the complex and the need one on the other side badly. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to classes & food on campus. The Ras are very friendly. There is just one man who appears to be a manager (Unsure),who is a huge a**hole to parents and seems to forget that it is MY debit card that Cambridge Oaks debits for rent & bills each month, and without my approval (&payment), my son wouldnt be there. There have been several incidents on UH campus where the thugs from the neighboring streets come over and rob the students of cell phones and purses, some at gunpoint ( see crime report). Cambridge Oaks is gated and has security guards on foot patrolling complex.
