What we found

Bishop Flats attracts residents with its walkable Bishop Arts location, modern finishes, and attentive leasing team, but maintenance responsiveness drops sharply outside standard office hours. Water damage, pest issues, and appliance repairs often linger for weeks despite requests, and management is quick to charge fees for late insurance or lost access cards. The complex feels split: those moving in love the tour experience and neighborhood, while longtime residents report ceiling collapses, thin-wall noise, and a growing sense of nickel-and-diming that undercuts the premium positioning.

  • excellent walkable location near shops and restaurants
  • modern, well-designed units with natural light
  • resident events and community programming

  • thin walls and noise from neighbors
  • security deposit delays
  • parking constraints and broken gate
  • property damage not adequately prevented

Enquire about Bishop Flats

Your enquiry goes to the Dallas Apartment Reviews Directory team, who will pass it to Bishop Flats. We only share your details with providers relevant to your request.

Questions we get asked

Is there emergency maintenance outside office hours?
No. Calls, emails, and texts outside working hours are not answered until the office reopens, which has left residents without help during water leaks and other urgent issues.
What extra charges should I expect beyond rent?
A $100/month convenience package charge, $150 for fob replacement, and penalties if renters insurance lapses. Electronic payment also carries a fee.
How walkable is the area?
Very walkable. The complex sits within the Bishop Arts District near shops, restaurants, and major roads; multiple residents praised easy pedestrian access to amenities.

Bishop North at Bishop Arts Apartments

Residents often praise the friendly staff, the concierge team, and the events that help neighbors get to know each other. Many say the Bishop Arts location is a big draw, with bars and shops within walking distance. Maintenance gets good marks when it responds quickly. Security is the sharpest complaint. Several reviewers describe vehicle break-ins and weak camera coverage, and one describes a long wait on a locked-out door. Noise from the street and nearby construction also comes up often, along with a recent change in ownership.

Kessler Bluffs

4.3(128)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Kessler Bluffs has standout technicians like Gavin and leasing staff like Colton who earn consistent praise for speed and professionalism. The townhomes themselves are spacious and well-maintained when repairs happen. However, repair timelines are unpredictable-some issues resolve in hours, others take weeks. Communication breakdowns are a recurring frustration: unanswered emails, unresponsive phone lines, and office staff rarely available. Residents also report safety concerns including package theft and transient visitors in the complex. The property's reputation has shifted noticeably in recent months. Earlier reviews highlight a responsive maintenance team and great value; later reviews describe staff shortages, unresponsive management, and move-out charges that surprise tenants. The disparity suggests either staffing changes or inconsistent attention across departments.

Pike West Commerce Apartments

3.1(96)✓ Google-verified

Strong leasing and maintenance staff earn regular praise; Tory, Beth, Mindy, and Tino handle concerns promptly and make residents feel valued. However, aging infrastructure undermines the experience: water intrusion during heavy rain, persistent ants, broken security gates, and the building's structural cracks limit appeal despite the convenient West Dallas location and walkable downtown proximity. Best suited to residents patient with older-building quirks who prioritize staff responsiveness over flawless facilities. Event space management occasionally falters, as evidenced by rushed client interactions. Residents report good security patrols but note the front gate requires ongoing attention. The property delivers on spacious units and amenities (pool, dog park, fitness center), though infrastructure repairs seem reactive rather than preventive.
