I like the activities and trips very much. The staff are wonderful. My only immediate concern is that I saw a lot of people leave after only a year here when it came time to renew their lease. I heard the reason was the price increase to renew there lease. I am very concerned that I will experience the same thing when the time comes for me to renew. I hope not because I want to stay here but a large increase would certainly be a problem!... Read more

Watercrest is a very nice place, it is like high-rise apartments and one day I could see myself living there. Our loved one has yet to complain about the meals so we have to assume they are good. Our loved one does not participate in the activities but when we do go to visit we see activities going on.

It's a very nice place to live. It's conveniently located. They've got all of the facilities for someone who is an active, elder, retired person. The personnel are very nice. The food is great. I think the price is a little high, but I think it has to do with the fact that there are so many things there - a gym, a pool, walking trails - which offsets some of that. I'm overall very pleased with it.
You get a lot of bang for your buck, The value of this facility is great. The room sizes are nice sized, overall the food is pretty good and they have a good variety. I would recommend this facility to others.

It is overpriced, but I would recommend this community only it you've got enough retirement money to comfortably live and enjoy there. I chose this community because it was recommended to me and the tour went will. After living there awhile and talking to others who live there, I decided it had deficiencies and I decided to move out.

The minute I walked into a Watercrest apartment, I knew I’d found my new home: open concept, high ceilings, walk-in closets, large bathrooms, hook-ups for washer and dryer, and either a personal patio or balcony. The management staff is always ready to serve with questions and help and provide wonderful holiday gatherings. And amenities: five different kinds of exercise, a pool, card games, bingo, happy hour,excursions, gardening, and even birthday parties. Also, manicures and a hair salon. Safety is foremost with entrance gates and doors open only by residents. Fire alarms and electric stoves are another safety factor. At Watercrest there are all religions, races, and various levels of education. We’re here to be ourselves, and meet our one goal; living life to the fullest with friendly people who enjoy the senior years.

The minute I walked in the building, I knew I would like it here. The apartments are spacious with large windows, a fully equipped kitchen, large walk-in closets, and each apartment has its private patio or balcony. Importantly, washers & dryers are right in your apartment. Of course safety is always a main concern. Gates must be opened with openers provided as well as doors into the building with the exception of the main entrance. The staff is very accommodating, and during this awful time have worked diligently to make our lives more comfortable. So many activities and trips. At least five kinds of exercise, a pool, and gardening. Delicious food, happy hour, and birthday gatherings. I have to stop somewhere, but not before mentioning the new friendships found. So many races and religions under one roof to coincide peacefully and happily.

I lived at Watercrest for 6 months and upon moving out in November 2019 I was told that my $200 deposit for 2 Gate Fobs would be mailed to me after 30 days. In the past 7 months I have contacted Watercrest twice by phone and once in person with no success. I have asked twice for a corporate phone number that works. I left two messages with no response. I again asked for Corporate’s number, to speak with a person and they gave me the number to maintenance voicemail. You must be able to advocate for yourself regarding your finances here because several mistakes were noted in my file while I resided there.

I chose this community because I feel the food was better than most and the staff very friendly and helpful. The maintenance staff are quick to respond and efficient. The food is very good with variety. They have done and excellent job during the COVID and I have been satisfied with that. The building and my apartment are both very nice. We have outside walking area.

My 84 year old mother just moved into Watercrest at Shadow Creek Ranch about 2 months ago after living alone in her 3 bedroom house as a widow for over 40 years in Valdosta, GA. My mother was still driving and on a weekly bowling league and doing her own grocery shopping and most of her own yard work. Even though she was in terrific health, we felt like the time was nearing when she would need us to help her more frequently than he were able. Two of my sisters and I live in Cypress, Fulshear and Clear Lake, while one lives in Florida. It seemed logical to us to begin searching for places in the Houston area. After making numerous visits to senior living places, we were getting pretty discouraged!!!!!! There just wasn't even one that we would consider......... UNTIL I stumbled onto Watercrest in Pearland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was LOVE at first sight!!! The facility is 2 years old and looks like an UPSCALE apartment complex!!!!! Brittany was incredible at answering each and every question that I had and gave me a personal tour!! I even reached out to my youngest sister to meet me there for more questions and a second tour with Brittany just to make sure that this was not a mirage!!!! We even asked if we could eat from the lunch menu to get a feel for the food........ IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE there is soooooooooo very nice and polite to one another- residents and staff alike!!!!! When we showed the pictures to my mother, she agreed that the place would be perfect and with tears she agreed that we needed to put her house up for sale and move her to Watercrest. She has LOVED all of the activities they offer!!! In her very short 2 months, she is in a line dance group and they performed for the residents once. She enjoys the workout room which has MARVELOUS equipment!!!!! She is in a Choir and has enjoyed several movies. Just recently, she and one other resident signed up for a bowling league and she is in Heaven!!!!!! I normally try to visit once a week to help Mom and she always insists that I stay and eat lunch with her!! (She doesn't have to push too hard!!!!!!) I have LOVED everything they have made!!!!! Some residents are into gardening or arts and crafts or card games or Bingo........ THERE IS NOOOOO SHORTAGE OF ACTIVITIES! Today my mother said that she was going to listen to a chiropractor who was going to come speak this afternoon to the residents. One of my mother's favorite activities is "Happy Hour"!! It is literally ONE HOUR!!! From 4:00 until 5:00 every Friday they serve wine to residents who want to participate, and they normally have live entertainment that is really good!!!! My Mother's apartment is gorgeous!!! She has a HUGE walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and large living and dining spaces. At 84 years old, this is the first time she has ever had a dishwasher!!!! I have to admit, it remains untouched since she has arrived. She doesn't feel the need to figure that out!! :-) She has a lovely patio overlooking the garden area. We feel like this environment is much safer for her and the community itself is gated. She still has complete freedom in life choices. I honestly LOVE seeing her so engaged and making so many friends!!!! Her quality of life has improved so very much and I cannot thank the staff at Watercrest for providing this incredible HOME for my mother!!! Special thanks to Brittany for patiently and pleasantly answering a million questions from us!! This may sound too good to be true...... But, trust me!!! Watercrest is an amazing place!!!!!

We plan to be in touch first thing in the morning to make our commitment to move into their available Villa unit. This site fits our needs better than the Sugarland campus, both in availability and location. We were very impressed with Althea’s knowledge which was offered freely without us having to question her. We are looking forward to making this necessary move, just wish that chore was already behind us.

My husband and I toured Watercrest at Shadow Creek on [date removed]. We enjoyed our meeting with [name removed]. She was very welcoming and provided us with a lot of information and a tour. The community is beautiful and very well maintained. They provide a number of floor plans to choose from to suit your needs. There are also lots of activities for Mom to enjoy. I would highly recommend others to tour the community - you won't be disappointed.

a nice place to live, some of the housekeeping needs to be improved in public areas. There is a dog park for dogs which makes it a nice place for dogs to do their business. Several of the residents do not take their dog to the dog park. Do not know why? There are nice activities if you want to get involved with other residents and if you do not you can do what you prefer. There is a nice library where you can read in comfortable chairs or take the book with you to return after you finish the book. You can also take books you have and share in the library. Most of the staff is very pleasant, only a very few are rather curt to the residents, maybe one or two. We have a shuttle we can use for trips to the doctor, stores and movies. Men have a monthly breakfast they attend. Good location to live.

My uncle has been a part of this community since it first opened. The staff is amazing, they remember each resident and their family by name. It is a quiet living facility with the upscale feel. Dining halls on each floor with so many amenities and activities for the social butterfly. It is refreshing to have found such a pleasant place for my uncle to retire in comfort. They offer really long leases to lock in a rate which was a huge help with creating a budget.

The facility was new. The apartments are a good size and the price is affordable. Our only concern was that my mom's dog could only walk in the dog park which is on one side of the property. If an apartment was not available close by, it would be a long walk to the dog park. I did like that the community is gated.
