  • Review 1 (2023-11-27 - Rating: 4)

    Lived here for a year. I cannot say that I would necessarily recommend them, but I won’t say not to either.The complex suffers from the typical apartment problems of not enough visitor parking, loud neighbors, etc. Some other issues I would say are noteworthy are vehicle break ins, which only happened to me once. The staff said they addressed the issue and I have no reason to doubt them. However, they offered no financial assistance to the repair of my car window. Another smaller issue would be trash, very often there will be a large pile of trash by the compactor. I understand that it is cleared out every week, but it’s an eyesore and not something you’d want a guest to see. Temperature outside greatly affects your A/C, if it’s hot expect your A/C to be a little hotter than it should.On a more positive note, they do have a pool, gym, basketball court, dog park, track, office and movie theatre. They will often have free treats at the office, and the maintenance staff are usually responsive if you have any maintenance issues. The location is excellent in terms of food, groceries, etc. The apartment itself, at least the one I had, was nice. It had granite counters, fresh paint and carpet, etc. The staff in the office are nice to talk to, and will generally get any issue you have resolved. Dog breeds of all kinds are welcome here, which is nice considering the negative stigma a lot of breeds unfairly get. The mail service is nice, parcel pending is a great app (although it’s a paid service).Overall the apartments are exactly what you’d expect. This is not a hidden gem but it’s not a disaster either. Well deserving of its rating.

    Wonderful apartments. Grounds are always well kept and neighbors are friendly. Maintenance issues are resolved quickly and you can’t beat the amenities. Office staff is always very polite and responsive to needs. We love it here! Thank you for all you do, Mission Ranch team!

    This is a beautiful community to live in. They have a nature trail lined with trees, often visited by deers and birds. The leasing agents are kind and courteous. Maintenance team does a great job keeping the property clean. All maintenance requests get resolved within a day or two.The only issue that I experienced here was my car getting broken into. Many other residents had this same issue, which I believe has been addressed now. They appointed a new patrol service, however its a little too late in my opinion.

    I recently moved in with my partner and the move-in experience was exceptional. Every single staff member I’ve spoken to thus far has been friendly and helpful. The apartments are immaculate. Upon move in, they came with thoughtful move in gifts like snacks, trinkets, toiletries etc. Reading the previous reviews I was worried about parking but I have never had a single parking issue and usually find parking near my apartment. Every morning I wake up to inspirational quotes from Mission Ranch which is a great way to start the day. The community is very diverse and welcoming. We often have food truck vendors stop by , we recently had free burgers for residents and this is barely almost a month in. It is also a dog friendly community as advertised with an indoor vacuum for your cars that is free! How awesome is that !? So far I’ve seen all types of dogs from chihuahuas, to Germans shepherds, poodles, beagles, Pitbulls and every 4 legged K-9 I’ve seen love exploring the grounds with their human companions. Most residents seem pretty good about Picking up after their dogs 🐶 The walls in the apartment are great ..you will enjoy peace and quiet. There’s a dog park also, and even a running track, movie theatre, laundry room, gym, pool. Forgot to lock your car ? Not To Worry! Your stuff is likely still there 🙌🏽 (Not that I would encourage you to leave your car unlocked 😅 however that’s the kind of community this seems to be). The apartments are beautiful, I feel safe, there are no rodents, the grounds are kept clean..if your looking for a place to stay I HIGHLY recommend this place 😎

    Living here has been great, it is not as bad as some people are making it out to be. The grounds are always kept up and the maintenance team is amazing, each work order that we have put in has always been completed in one day, Im being completely honest. The office staff always have two or three days out of the month where they greet you at the gate before or after the work day with goodies which is nice. They are very good at notifying you if there will be work going on on the grounds or your building and they keep you notified if a crime happens which other places that I have lived at dont do. The inside of the apartments are great, we cant complain. Just follow the rules and be a respectful resident and you will not have issues.

    I lived here for a little over 2 years and it was a great experience. Even the initial lease paperwork process which can be daunting at other places was smooth and seamless. Rachelle does a great job! I have another review on here from my time while I was actually living at Mission Ranch and its stellar. Im going to give praise to the maintenance staff for being pleasant, quick and competent. The grounds were always curb appeal ready. Trash compactors are the way to go in apartment complexes as it keeps them looking tidy versus several dumpsters. Sure they break like any mechanical item but you will be informed when it does and what to do. Tenant recognition and appreciation events are held throughout the month. Sometimes you may come home from work or school and the staff is handing you ice cream, a hot dog, popcorn or whatever else that might brighten your day. This is a very quiet complex sure some neighbors might walk a little hard but most people were always respectful of one another. There is a security patrol that is active. Tenants care about where the live in this complex and will report any disturbances or peculiar activities. Cleaning up after your pet is paramount here and if you are a lazy irresponsible pet owner look elsewhere. You will register your pet via DNA sample and the penalties for non-compliance are fair. Please do not get rid of this program. The property is located in a great area for Medical Center, USAA, UTSA and downtown workers. Babcock Road is a major throughway but you cant tell once you enter the complex. Theres lots to do and theres shopping close by. You are getting good value for the market price! If I did not purchase my new home I wouldve stayed longer. I truly appreciate the leasing off staff for assisting during my closing process. You are more than worth 5 stars Mission Ranch!

  • Review 7 (2022-01-02 - Rating: 4)

    Im approaching my year here and I dont have much to complain about. Ive read about valet trash pick-up being picked up before the end time. Ive never had this issue, heck I often forget to use to this amenity. To anyone complaining about this simply put it out prior to the mandated time in the right place because thats often the issue I see while walking or driving through the complex. Just that simple.Other complexes struggle with enforcing tenants cleaning up after their pets. Mission Ranch has cracked the code on this and I appreciate it as some pet owners are simple selfish and lazy. People respond to time and money being taken from them and this case money works. Do not remove this enforcement tool as I see children playing in the open courtyard area everyday and they dont need to be subjected to lazy pet owners. I will say check behind the garages and along the drainage culverts because thats where the lazy pet owners are taking their dogs besides the grass.My only real complaint is I may have elephants living above me and they tend to roam their apartment all times of the night. A bump here or there is nothing but when I can hear you stomp your way to the kitchen and jump out of the bed thats another issue.Parking, look whiny people parking is limited. No your visitors should not be allowed to park where paying residents park. It can be a hassle sometimes but I prefer it to seeing abandoned vehicles and seeing someone without a permit parked in spot we pretty much pay for via rent. BTW there is an silver Explorer Escape (building #8) that hasnt moved since Ive lived here. The other issue is people that go to the restaurant lounge place across the street do park in the visitors spots in the complex and at the front entrance parking spots. Not sure how you can enforce that but they are a big problem.Landscapers do an excellent job of keeping the grass and bushes trimmed neatly. I lived in a complex with massive floorplans prior to this but the management simply was collecting rent and did nothing to entice people to extend. Im paying more but I feel its worth it from an appearance and value standpoint.

    I luckily stumbled on Mission Ranch after a desperate search to find a place to live. I love this place. Maintenance is top notch! They are quick and super professional to take care of things. I had my AC go out one weekend and they gave me a portable unit until it was fixed the next day. The grounds are well kept and in this pet friendly community, all pet owners are responsible. It is an oasis in the city!

    I lived at this apartment a year ago and I miss it so much. Never had a problem with parking, maintenance was always taken care of promptly. The complex was quiet and I never heard or saw any disturbances while I was there. Its one of the few complexes that does not have breed restrictions for pets. I have a doberman so that was a huge factor for me. I never had any issues with any of the other residents animals. I would definitely move back if I could.

  • Review 10 (2018-05-04 - Rating: 4)

    Honestly, I think it’s hit and miss here. We moved here September 2017, and I was scared off at first by the horrible reviews some people have left. For us so far, it’s been a hit. It’s close to my husband’s work, and besides hearing cars all the time(because Babcock gets busy) this place is very peaceful. The worst part is parking, and where my apartment is located it’s not even that bad. The visitor parking is very limited, but I think it’s always filled by the people who have third cars.We’ve now lived here for almost seven months and I’ve not once seen a roach or any bug inside. All of the “viscous” pit bulls I’ve met here are actually quite the opposite. Most of the dogs I’ve met are really nice, but I have heard of a few dog squabbles. That’s bound to happen whenever there are multiple dogs though. Some dogs just don’t get along. There is a lot of dog poop left around sometimes, but they have someone walk around and scoop it every other day.I almost never hear the neighbors, but back when Fall 2017 semester was in session there were a couple of times I called security because their were some people being very rowdy at 2 am. They will tow your car if your don’t have a parking sticker, and with the limited parking it’s kinda understandable. I do think there should be a temporary pass system for if you have a rental car or a new car because visitors parking is always full.At first, I really only liked one or two of the people in the office, but now that we’ve lived here for a while, I get along with most of them. If you pay your rent on time, don’t make trouble and are friendly, they’ll treat you well. Plus they give away stuff all the time! Free pizza, candy, etc... Maintenance is good. Every time I’ve put in a request, they are there the same day or before lunch the next day.For the location and space these apartments provide, I think the price isn’t bad. Plus they offer rent specials, so I think it works out nicely. I think we got the Rio Grand layout with the patio. It comes with a big living room, 2 beds and 2 baths. The only thing is I wish we would have asked about hard wood floors because we have pets, so I vacuum A LOT.The amenities are okay. The pool is very nice. The track and dog park are always green and cut. The gym is not for hardcore gym goers, but there are plenty of gyms right around the corner. The movie room is cool, and the business center is convenient if you don’t have a printer. Now they also offer parcel pending, which is super convenient if you work past office hours. You can go pick up packages whenever you can.There are a few older people who live here, but they like kids from what I’ve seen. Just be respectful of others, and I don’t think you’ll have any problems here. I know this review is basically a book, but I just wanted to give a different view of the apartments. Don’t let the bad reviews scare you from at least checking it out because you might like it.

    Great staff!!! The property and amenities make me truly feel at home! And may I also add Nicholas with AT&T connected communities took care of me and my internet needs. Very professional and extremely amazing!!!

  • Review 12 (2022-08-09 - Rating: 4)

    My lease is about to end and I actually wish I could stay longer. The rent is fair for the amount of space you get and how everything is well-maintained. My only two complaints -- I was never able to access the amenities inside bc you need a code. But the code was never issued with any of my paperwork. Also, there are cats roaming everywhere and sometimes even stay on my patio area. There is a lady who feeds the cats (and possums!) near the building, but I guess theres not much management can do to control it?

  • Review 13 (2014-06-07 - Rating: 4)

    I have lived here for almost 2 years and I would recommend this apartment complex. It is definitely dog friendly and if you have a dog , especially a pit bull, this is the place to be. The apartments are beautiful. My bf and I moved to Dallas and thats the only reason we left. They are strict about leaving dog mess around and trash, so its very clean. The only problem we had was that someone tried to break into my bfs car and dented his trunk, but these things happen everywhere. Parking is also a problem if you get home late at nights.

  • Review 14 (2014-02-02 - Rating: 4)

    After reading these reviews and living here for 8 months I have decided to write my own review. First, the comments regarding the management is completely not true. I have had contact with the office staff and the maintenance staff fairly often. If you are nice to them they are nice to you. They try to respond to each situation as fast as possible.As for signing paperwork and not knowing what your signing … read the papers. They told us exactly what we were signing and let us read it so we knew what it said. Neighbors are great, except for the 2 guys that drive motorcycles and like to rev them up as they leave.Regarding crime. Unfortunately, crime is prevalent here in this area. Not just this apartment complex. I have many friends in other apartment complexes near here and they all have break ins. My advice is to buy a motion detector from Lowes or Home Depot and place it in the house. Some have a sign saying the house is protected by electronic surveillance. This will make a thief turn around or if he does break in neighbors will hear.Overall, I really enjoy this complex. It is nice and they work with you very well. As for the dogs, yes there are some big dogs but they are all on leashes. Owners pick up the poo. I have yet to see poo laying around as most owners are responsible.

    Well kept , well maintained beautiful community. Exceptional staff who are kind , professional, and always ready to serve our residents. Even though we are located right outside the medical center, the community is very quiet. And they are pet friendly! Love my new home💜

  • Review 16 (2017-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    Lived here for 2 years. One of the best. They allow certain breed of dogs ALOT of other apartments complexs do not allow. The people at this complex are responsible dog owners and you never have to worry about a loose dog or a dog being aggressive. The indoor basketball court and weight room see great and to relax they have a movie theater. Staff is great and very affordable for the area and the amenities. I would highly recommend.

  • Review 18 (2017-11-09 - Rating: 4)

    Extremely limited visitor parking with tow-happy management. Its tough to have guests over after 8 PM or so. Be ready to go pick them up after you have them park their car down the street at a local business.

  • Review 19 (2021-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    For a 20year old complex its in very good shape. Since I been there its always clean and well maintained.It takes teamwork to make it happen and keep up the hard work. Together everyone achieves more to get the job done.

    The best place I have ever lived in with happy employees and helpful service stuff. They have one small problem (limited parking) if u came late at night, hard to find one. If I came again to San Antonio I will get an apartment here. Thanks
