2121 Ella

May 4th, 2021

If you like to grill outdoors these apartments aren't for you. I've told Management several times that the grills dont work, Their response was " they work they just have a trick to it". Also these are the first apartments that I have lived where they have electric grills. I've ask on the residential portal online if I can have an electric grill on my patio since their grills never work and my post was never approved on the community wall by management.

I lived on the 2nd floor of 2121 Ella Apartments for most of 2020 and was very happy with my time there. The management and maintenance staff were always very helpful to me, especially Brittany, Nicole and Bethany (building management). Amanda, Miguel and Gerber were the maintenance team and they typically responded to requests within 1-3 days. This is the best management and maintenance teams that I have ever worked with! My favorite part about living here was being walking distance to a lot of great places like Tony's and Cavatore. They also host a farmer's market during the weekends right in front of Cavatore's. The trails are just one block away and you can also get to the bars on 20th street with less than a 10 minute walk. Units come with built in desk set ups and GIANT bathrooms /closets! The personal balconies are also a good size and rather private. Those were my favorite thing about the apartment units themselves. New pool furniture was purchased this summer and they do a very good job keeping that area clean. The community itself is a pretty quiet one. The pool and common areas tend to get busy on Saturdays but other than that it's pretty calm. Due to Covid they didn't host many community events but neighbors are rather relaxed and respectful. My only complaints are that there's no real security out the parking lot, the electric grills don't work, and packages are often left at doors so people are missing packages all the time. Over a weekend in September, we had a resident get all four of their tires stolen. The two electric grills outside of the pool area don't work. Our community wall has people posting about missing packages all the time. More often than not, they are able to track them down but still a bit of an inconvenience. All in all, I'd recommend living here. :)

I have lived at 2121 Ella for years and have really enjoyed it. The community is in a fantastic location and is within walking distance of some of Houston's best bars and restaurants. 2121 Ella also has great amenities and a management team that works hard to accommodate its residents. I take a look at additional properties from time to time to get a feel for the market. I renew year over year because 2121 Ella is hands down the absolute best value in the area.

Only issues I have with 2121 is package delivery, typically packages are left at the front door of your apartment, and the dog park. There is a lot of Dog poop from owners who do not pickup after their dogs in the park and the side doors are typically left open to the park by lazy residents.
