The Gables Katy Trail property is an older building in the Gables portfolio. Their management is centralized, so there are some things that are hard to negotiate. However Ebre in the Gables KT office worked hard to get me a great opportunity when I was looking at renewing my lease. And she had to do a lot of work! But she was a big help, when moving apartments can feel like so much work. I highly recommend the neighborhood feel of this property.
This is my third year at Gables Katy Trail and I have been impressed from day one. From the friendliness and responsiveness of the front office staff (Jodi and Michael) to the exceptional maintenance team, it has been a great Uptown rental experience. If any issue arises, no matter how large or small, they have been on top of it immediately. The location provides easy access all over Uptown (and the Katy Trail is your backyard). The gated parking levels also provide a safe environment. The residents are courteous. Renewing my lease was an easy choice-

I am now moving out after just over 2 years living here at Gables Katy Trail and I will miss it. The location is perfect, I couldn't have been more centralized to both the trail and uptown area. This complex is very peaceful, quiet, and simple, and would be perfect for someone looking for a smaller unbothered community. There are days when I am getting my mail, doing laundry in the laundry room (because my unit doesn't have machines in it, but most do), or running errands where I won't see even a single other person, and I LOVED that kind of peace during my time here. Many other apartment complexes I have lived in are noisy, have smelly hallways, and feel poorly maintained and even gross, but the standards here for living at Gables KT were high despite the complex's older age. If you are looking for sleek and modern, this is not the place for you, as it is definitely dated. But despite not being modern, it is kept up well, maintenance is extremely quick and responsive to work orders, and I have only ever had 2 bugs in my unit and pest control came same day to take care of it each time. I also loved the parking situation here, as many complexes have residents battle for limited parking in tight spots and have unsecure entrances, but here at the Gables, there were endless parking spaces in the lower level, always guest spots open as well, and the gate was only ever left open while getting fixed for a few days during my whole time here. The parking garage entrances are down the side of the building kind of out of the way of the hustle and bustle of uptown sidewalks and I think that alone made it a less convincing place for thieves to break in. The valet trash service is super timely and residents are good about not leaving trash out or making a mess. I lived in an inward facing unit overlooking the pool area, and it was never a problem. Residents are respectful and quiet. Speaking of the pool, it is one of the best apartment pools I've ever used simply because it is always pristinely clean and gets sun literally all day. With all the tall buildings in uptown, I know people whose apartment pools will only have direct light for maybe a few hours, but at Gables I could sit out and enjoy the sun from 11 am to 7 pm all summer if I wanted. I think the prices are fair considering this complex is on prime real estate in uptown. You're on the trail, less than 5 minutes from KT Ice House, and very short walks from west village, downtown, state thomas, and oak lawn neighborhoods. I hardly have to drive unless I'm crossing highway 75. I would stay here as a resident if I wasn't in need of a bigger space at this point in my life. I can't recommend this spot enough and I will definitely miss it!

I havent seen one bug in my unit. Ive been here for almost 8 months and no issues at all. They switched elevator services and we havent had any issues. I love the stackable washer and dryers and that they dont hit us with a bunch of amenity fees.

My experience at Gables Katy Trail has been peaceful, the reviews from years ago do not stand in 2024, Ive been a resident for 3 years now. The building is older but there have been internal updates that make’s sense for the price. Love being able to have all the perks of the uptown area.
Gables Katy Trail is a wonderful place to live! It's relatively quiet and located in a wonderful area. The staff here treats the residents well and are very good at communicating when they will be able to make it when I call them with my concerns.
Overall, awesome place to live!
I did not end up moving here, however my experience with leasing agent Ebre was absolutely incredible. She communicated with me non-stop throughout the process and was so helpful and informative throughout the process with all of my questions. She really really does her job well! Thanks Ebre!!
Despite the fact that it’s one of oldest buildings in the neighborhood, it’s up to date on and has modern utilities. Jodie & Michael and the maintenance crew are always very attentive on anything I need. Did I also say that rent is relatively cheap in comparison to other properties around? OH YEA! You can’t beat the price for the location, you have the Katy trail right at your door step and great bars and restaurants within walking distance as well. Also, the community is great and friendly. I highly recommend this property. Thanks for everything gables Katy trial.
