A total of 107 or 9.4 percent of HUD assisted housing apartment developments in Texas earned a very low score in the latest round of physical inspections. The HUD Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) physical inspection scores measure, among other things, the condition of a property’s common areas, units, and utility systems.
The developments with the lowest scores were:
Corpus Christi South Bluff Apts 16c* Fort Stockton Stockton Village 19c* Longview Penwood Apts 19c* Hillsboro Crestridge Apartments 20c* Fort Worth Spanish Gate Apartments 21c* Dallas Glen Hill I @ Ii 23c* Dallas Field Stone Crossing, Llc 23c* Dallas Rosemeade Court Apts. 24c* Houston Sunflower Terrace 27c* Mission El Rosario Homes 27c Waco Parkside Village 27c*
An overall numerical score is given as a value from zero to 100. A score below sixty is considered failing. An asterisk indicates that health and safety deficiencies were found with respect to smoke detectors. The lower-case letter indicates whether or not other kinds of heath and safety deficiencies were observed, as follows:
- The letter “a” is given if no health and safety deficiencies were observed other than for smoke detectors.
- The lower-case letter “b” is given if one or more non-life threatening H&S deficiencies, but no exigent/fire safety heath and safety deficiencies were observed other than for smoke detectors.
- The lower-case letter “c” is given if one or more exigent/fire safety (calling for immediate attention or remedy) health and safety deficiencies were observed.
A full listing of Texas REAC scores is available. Below is a listing of the Texas HUD subsidized developments with a score of less than 60 on the most recent published HUD REAC report.

I have spent many years leasing apartments at the low income properties and I think the staff of a lot of these communities has something to do with these grades. The managers and the leasing consultants do not get paid enough to deal with the issues that they have to deal with. I think if they paid the staff more, they could attract some more dedicated people that could make some changes.
I need to find a HUD or low income apartment for a senior lady…she makes 637.00 per month ssi. I need it in Victoria Texas
Thank you

Thank you for this – but something has to be done for us. I thought all complexes had a certain # of units for the disabled, and IR leases. My interests are long-term, I hope! When I lived in Austin, it seems a far more hospitable place than I’ve found in other cities by virture of the addresses offered. Scary, especially when blind and powerchair user.
Yes dedicated on site staff is a must for these properties but we also need dedicated Management agents for the properties to turn aroun d. And yes the salaries need to be increased but there are still managers that work hard and long hours regardless of pay or support
I would love to find a list of active senior apartments that is a HUD subsidized community for ages 55&over in Houston,Austin and surrounding areas. I am on the lower end of social security,and with a limited
disability.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!.
AGREE!
Senior living according to income in the cedar hill, desoto, or dallas, texas area.
Looking at 3 possible cities, as someone now disabled (through no fault of my own), and 70 on SS only, there is no location that is safe! This concerns me, greatly.
The program for finding locations is excellent, but I dealt with one company building a new complex in N. Dallas, and they lied to me. Nearly lost what shirt I have, and sold or gave away all my things.
I think it’s time for some of “us” to obtain some assistance to form multy-family units for mutual benefit, safety, and independence.
Are there shared housing options to help some of the people looking for more supportive environments? Some areas of Texas are wastelands, as far as senior living goes, and worse when disabled. Many seniors (esp. women) were left w/o enough SS due to divorce, or lately I’ve found many who spent every cent they have on health care for themselves or their kids who now ignore the parents needs.
In VA. adult kids have to chip in!
