Kingwood lakes apartments are not being torn down. Professions remediation and renovations will start as soon as demo is done. 4951

I kind of thought the thread about them being torn down was a knee jerk reaction...a lot of people that live there have no where else to go or cannot afford to go elsewhere.  Many the redo will improve things. 4951

I hope they change the outside of them to make them look younger. Maybe some river stone, just something to update them. 4951

They have a sign outside that says " pardon us as we remodel.". Friend of mine son lives there as he gets basics done at kw community. He plans to move back in when they are done. Manager says 3-6 months to finish. 4951

I have seen the residents complaints on Facebook. Their maintenance person is painting white paint over the mold in the upstairs units and not cutting it out. The water soaked up the walls and those walls have not removed In the second floor units. It makes me sad for them. 4951

Well I don't know about stone, but there's plenty of river sand to go around... 4951

They have needed mold remediation for years.  It is about time they do that. They are a health hazard.

Unfortunately you get what you pay for. I used to work in the housing industry and the company would throw money at fixing or updating the properties that brought in the highest rents. Low income properties were luck to be cleaned half way decently between move out/move in turn around. It simply wasn't worth it on a financial end. 4951

And that's the reason they had what they considered low rents. My dh renovated thousands and thousands apartments. In 2009, a lot of the developers and apartment owners realized this and started upgrading their properties. They started putting in granite in kitchens, bathrooms, better light fixtures, stainless appliances, etc. Owners realized renters were willing to pay a little more for this. If Kingwood lakes apts are low rent, then owners need to upgrade and charge more. They had become an eyesore. 4951

I saw today on Facebook a picture of someone's 2nd floor apartment and the 1st flood one right below her. They hadn't even knocked the drywall out on the first floor and you could already see mold. She said they were expecting the 2nd floor to move back in soon and continue paying rent. I hope she was wrong or misunderstood because that isn't okay. Those apartments really just need to go. 4951

@Fallon:Yes they were advised to contact the city and were given tons of resources. I hope that isn't true, but I wouldn't put it past an apartment company to do that. I have seen some shady things. 4951
