Good Complex

Stella is a good place to live. I have never felt unsafe, and the apartments are reasonably nice. They are expensive, but affordable compared to other comparable apartments in the area. They are pet friendly but it will definitely cost you. Can’t find much better anywhere else, though. No carpet is a nice touch, but these floors scratch so easily. Maintenance is quick and very efficient. Also very friendly. Can’t really complain. A lot of families live here, and also a good amount of students from what I can tell. If you’re looking for somewhere that is safe (reasonably) and not obscenely overpriced, Stella is for you.

More affordable with roommates

This complex has every amenity you could need - internet lounge, gym, conference room, food trucks, etc., but the BEST part (especially for future APPEs) is the shuttle service to the med center. It is a free service for residents, and it means you won't have to pay to park at the med center. Additionally, my commute to school is relatively always free of traffic. It takes me roughly 12 min to get to campus.
This apartment is a little more affordable than others nearby, but I do work every week.

Living at Stella

The process of obtaining and signing a lease was pretty seamless. The only issue we had there was having to sign the lease agreement multiple times after mistakes in the lease were caught by the leasing agent.

Management is quick to respond to complaints and willing to work through any disagreements/issues. Unfortunately, maintenance requests are not always fulfilled in a timely manner.

Amenities (study room, pool, workout room) are great!

Overall, I feel safe on the property and that is a huge plus.

Good price/quality balance

I like that it is close to school and doesn't cost too much. Complex has a pool, gym, and study/work area. Staff have always been friendly and helpful when I talked to them. I don't like that all the grills by the pool are not gas lit and require charcoal, parking fills up at certain times meaning you have to park further from your building, and there are a few fees that you aren't aware of until you view the lease to sign.

Getting around Macgregor


Macgregor Reviews

15 reviews
Good accessibility to the med center/rice village (8 min drive), montrose (13 min), and anywhere else you want to go! Traffic gets backed up but that's literally everywhere in Houston. Some small crimes occur in higher frequency in this area (break ins or robberies), but not an overwhelming transient population. Close to the museums and Hermann Park.
Neighbors are super friendly, met a lot of them at the dog park and are so kind to help out when needed. All relatively quiet, the occasional noise from things dropped upstairs or next door but over all not bad at all. This building used to be a hospital so it’s built very sturdy.
Easy access to everything - right off the highway but a 15 minute drive to more social spots of Upper Kirby, Montrose, Rice Village, The Heights. Quiet, family and pet friendly. There's a nice park down the street and also blocks away from Hermann Park.
I have never felt unsafe, but some people do. I walk to and from school and have never had any issues with people around here. Even has a trail that I can run on so I love that.
Right next to Hermann park. Also next to Almeda where there is a lot of bad and aggressive drivers.
Don't go for a walk except to and from school, and around the bayou during the daytime. Otherwise it gets sketchy. My roommates and I drive anywhere that isn't school.
I wouldn’t go outside alone at night
No homeless people around
