My family and I lived in Shelter Creek Apartments late last year to early this year, 2022. The neighborhood felt safe and friendly. The staff are very quick to response to our requests: from a simple shower drain issue to a paint scratch on the wall, Shelter Creek staff ensures that they were taken care of. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the staff in promoting a family oriented environment for the children in the neighborhood. They had a taco family night, Banh mi sandwiches, and other family type gatherings for all the tenants. It was very a fun way to meet the neighbors. Overall, I will highly recommend this place for your future home.

In my experience in a shelter creek apartment was great we been living there since 2021 and it was good the staff was really friendly and the prices not bad for 2 bedroom apartments was 2,350 dollars free water. If you have a problem inside your home just let the office know and right away they do fix it they are very helpful and good people. I highly recommend for a single family
