Escalon Townhomes wins consistent praise for its layout, finish quality, and a standout leasing team led by Michael and Leita who earn repeated compliments for patience and knowledge. However, the lease end and deposit experience becomes a flashpoint: residents report excessive move-out charges, months-long delays on refunds, unresponsive calls, and maintenance lapses (heating failure, plumbing collapse, pest problems). Staff friendliness fades when money is involved, leaving renters feeling shortchanged and shut out.
The business claims pet-friendly three-bedroom townhomes with private garages and premium finishes in Leander, near downtown Austin. Move-in specials advertise up to 10 weeks free rent. Despite the strong initial impression, the pattern of deposit conflicts and communication breakdowns suggests booking a tour and requesting everything in writing before signing.
Twin Flamez Candle Co sells handmade candles, soaps, serums, and body products from Leander. Review evidence is limited to a single five-star rating; detailed customer feedback is unavailable.
Most residents report a safe, clean property with staff who know them by name and respond quickly to requests. The leasing team (Kyli, Anthony, Jazmin, Amador, Karen) earns consistent praise for patience and bilingual support. The pool, fitness studio, dog park, and regular social events draw strong approval. A handful of older complaints mention AC failures, initial unit cleanliness issues, and one discriminatory tour experience; recent reviews show staff performance and maintenance have improved significantly since those reports. Residents highlight the location near schools, hospitals, and shopping, plus the pet-friendly policy. Tenants stay long-term (five and ten years mentioned), and the maintenance team handles requests promptly once reported. One reviewer noted safety enough to leave doors unlocked and run outside at any hour. The social kitchen and outdoor grill get named specifically as favorites.
Staff warmth and building aesthetics draw strong praise, but serious safety lapses and uneven maintenance response overshadow the experience for many residents. Leasing team members Zavia, Kelsie, and Stephanie consistently earn five-star mentions for knowledge and attentiveness, and move-in impressions are often glowing. After residents settle in, however, patterns emerge: venomous snakes on the property met with dismissal, scorpions inside units, exposed nails on stairs, poorly sealed windows left unrepaired for months, and trash management that leaves common areas foul-smelling. Communication failures compound these issues-towing without clear warning, security deposit deductions without explanation, and washer repair requests left unresolved for a month. Property management appears reactive rather than proactive about resident safety and comfort.
