Property Highlights
To create a quiet residential space within West 8's progressive, robust environment, Portico architecture breaks-up big spaces into smaller, more intimate settings. Colorful, four-story, mid-rise buildings are carved into flowing, curvilinear street patterns and an interconnected network of waterways, plazas, arcades, fountains and paseos which create intimate niche destinations to reinforce the pedestrian-friendly priority of this community. Portico's old world charm is achieved with its eclectic blend of Spanish, Mediterranean and Texan architectural elements, including articulated roof lines, wrought iron railings, upper floor balconies, arched entryways, enclosed courtyards, barrel-tile roofs and smooth stucco siding. Its twist on new world luxury is carefully crafted from an artistic array of high-end features and amenities inspired by the recent trends in custom homebuilding.

I’ve lived here 5 months and I regret every bit of it. The summers are horrible if you live anywhere near the pool because the other people that live here have no respect for other people. They treat the pool like a vegas pool party until all times of the night. Then the fire alarms go off so often you wouldn’t know when there’s a real fire to evacuate or not. And they keep going for at least a hour. The last time they started sounding at 1:35 am and didn’t get turned off until past 5 am! That’s... insane. The water is constantly getting shut off and management does absolutely nothing. Do yourself a favor and keep driving past this place.

Fire Alarm Goes OFF
Be aware that the buildings have fire alarm problems!! They are going off once in a while. Before Christmas from Dec 22-24 they have gone off for three days in a row! So you could imagine fire alarm would be constantly beeping for a couple of hours! And nobody will turn it off!!! Kids get scared and alert! It may happen during the day or night you never know! I was about to invite guests over to celebrate Christmas and New Year, but now I have to cancel the parties because I don’t want the... loud beeping sound fail my plans and make everybody down! During the summer you won’t be able to enjoy the pools due to loud music and it’s over crowded. Another bummer is that pools are open till 8 pm, so there isn’t an opportunity to swim after 8 pm when it’s not that hot during summer days.

Stolen wheels in this complex !
I have been leaving here for 1 year Over the last 2 months many cars have been left on bricks because of stolen wheels. It’s very frustrating and aggravating feeling waking up in the morning getting ready to go to work and seeing my truck on bricks. It has happened twice to me already in the course of 2 months. Security is not doing their job and management does nothing about it. We have seen security sleeping on the job. I am so over these apartments that can’t keep the safety of my vehicle... protected. Sleeping at night has become impossible with the feeling that my truck is going to get hit again. DO NOT MOVE TO THESE APARTMENTS !!!

AVOID!!!
Lived here only a few months and it has been a nightmare. If you work from home, this place is not for you. If you want a good night's sleep, this place is not for you. Loud doesn't even begin to describe this complex. The complaints are not taking serious and you will be ignored.
Winter Storm - Was without water for 8 days. Fire alarms went off continuing for hours. Forced to leave on Monday night and drive in winter conditions to get away from the noise. Returned on Wed at 9am and... sure enough they went off again. Returned that evening to find building 2 breezeways flooding and residents have to sweep the water themselves. Several apts were flooded as well. Left and returned on Sunday where I had to retrieve water from the pool to flush commode. Not once did I receive communication from Apt managers. Gates left open for close to two weeks.
Have sent several emails about noise to the office about and it has yet to be resolved. I just give up at this point. Walls are paper thin and neighbors just don't care here. Super loud at all hours of the night. If you live facing Westheimer, you will get the pleasure of hearing cars coming and going all night blaring music. If you want peace and quiet, this place is not for you.
Dog are never leashed and owners do not pick up after them. When out walking all I hear is "My dog doesn't bit" as the owner goes back to talking on their phones.
Packages have been stolen.
Parking in the garage is a nightmare. Friend's car got towed for parking in a marked Reserved spot. The spots are painted but is fading so you can't see it's reserved.
Save your money and go elsewhere!
