Is The Maxwell still open and leasing? Yes. Its current listings on Apartments.com, Zillow, and ApartmentList all show it active and accepting applications as of July 2026. An older Yelp page for the same street address shows a status of “CLOSED”: that page carries a different phone number and website and reflects a prior ownership era, not the property’s current status.
Is This the Maxwell You’re Looking For?
Two apartment communities named “Maxwell” operate in San Antonio, and searches for one regularly surface the other.
| The Maxwell | Maxwell Townhomes | |
|---|---|---|
| Address | 1431 Cable Ranch Rd, 78245 | 11130 Vance Jackson Rd, 78230 |
| Area | Far West Side / Westover Hills | Vance Jackson corridor |
| Management | Harbor Group Management | Anterra Mgmt Corp |
| Price range | $670 to $1,380/mo | $865 to $2,035/mo, varies by source |
| Unit sizes | 475 to 975 sq ft, 1 to 2 bed | 619 to 1,310 sq ft, 1 to 3 bed |
The two sit about 11 miles apart with no shared ownership. A HAR.com listing titled simply “Maxwell Townhomes” describes the Vance Jackson property, so treat any search result carrying that name with caution if you’re trying to reach the Cable Ranch Road building.
Is The Maxwell on Cable Ranch Road the same as Maxwell Townhomes? No. Separate owners, separate management companies, separate ZIP codes. They only share a name.
Current Pricing and Unit Mix
As of July 2026, ApartmentRatings.com puts the property’s full range at $670 to $1,380 a month across 475 to 975 square feet. ApartmentList shows 66 of the property’s 336 total units available, with rents starting at $670.
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Unit size range | 475 to 975 sq ft | Zillow |
| Advertised rent range | $670 to $1,380/mo | ApartmentRatings.com |
| Units available (of 336 total) | 66 | ApartmentList |
| Year built | 1984 | CorporateHousing.com |
Treat this as a July 2026 snapshot. Rent specials and unit counts on this kind of listing shift week to week, and none of the aggregators above stamp a reliable “last verified” date on the numbers they show you.
What You’re Trading Off at This Price
Rent here runs roughly 30 to 40% under several of the citywide one-bedroom benchmarks above, and that gap tracks the building’s age and unit size more than anything else. The property was built in 1984 and holds 336 units across three stories, and its smallest advertised unit is 475 square feet, well under a typical new-construction floor plan. It sits in the 78245 ZIP near Lackland Air Force Base, which several listings mention as a draw for military-adjacent renters. Standard amenities apply: two pools, gated access, on-site laundry hookups in select units, and a fitness center.
Pet Policy: Where the Listings Disagree
| Claim | Source A | Source B | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breed/weight restrictions | Zillow: no breed or weight restrictions | RentCafe: 60 lb max, breed restrictions apply | Get it in writing from the leasing office |
| Pet fee | Apartments.com/Zillow: PetScreening.com profile required, fee undisclosed | RentCafe: $300 one-time fee, $25/mo pet rent | RentCafe carries the only concrete figure found |
| Pet limit | Apartments.com, Zillow, and RentCafe all agree: 2 pets max per apartment | Consistent, no action needed | |
Does The Maxwell have breed or weight restrictions on pets? Sources disagree. Zillow’s listing says no; RentCafe’s listing caps weight at 60 pounds and mentions breed restrictions. Confirm directly with the property before assuming either version applies to your pet.
Schools, Commute, and Walkability
| School | Grades | GreatSchools rating |
|---|---|---|
| Meadow Village Elementary | PK to 5 | 4/10 |
| Jones Middle School | 6 to 8 | 4/10 |
| Jay High School | 9 to 12 | 3/10 |
These ratings come straight from GreatSchools.org, not restated secondhand from a listing site. Zillow lists a Walk Score of 54, “somewhat walkable,” and a Transit Score of 40, “some transit,” for the address. Apartments.com puts the property 5.6 miles, about 11 minutes, from Northwest Vista College, and 15.1 miles, about 21 minutes, from San Antonio International Airport, with that commute time calculated at rush hour.
What Past Residents Report
ApartmentRatings.com carries 196 reviews for the property averaging 3.3 out of 5. One review dated May 25, 2025 describes a black mold problem the resident says caused kidney-function issues, headaches, and body aches. A separate review on CorporateHousing.com describes an extended water outage with an unanswered follow-up request to the office.
Texas law puts the initial burden on the landlord once a problem is reported. Under Texas Property Code §92.056, a tenant who gives written notice of a condition materially affecting health or safety triggers a rebuttable seven-day window for the landlord to act; §92.0561 lets a tenant who follows the notice procedure repair the issue and deduct the cost, capped at the greater of one month’s rent or $500.
This is one documented complaint, not an aggregate rating claim. No public record confirms whether the specific unit was remediated.
Is the mold problem still present at The Maxwell? Unknown. The May 2025 review is the most recent documented account found; no later resident report or management statement confirming remediation turned up in this research. Ask the leasing office directly, and if touring, ask to see the maintenance history for the specific unit offered.
Who This Fits, and Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Budget-focused renters near Lackland AFB: the floor price undercuts most citywide averages by a wide margin.
- Renters who prioritize newer finishes or top-rated schools: the building is over 40 years old and its assigned schools rate 3 to 4 out of 10.
- Renters with pets subject to breed or weight rules: verify the policy directly instead of trusting either aggregator’s version.
- Renters sensitive to mold history: ask for the specific unit’s maintenance log before signing.
How to Verify Before You Apply
Call the leasing office directly for the current price, unit availability, and pet policy. Ask specifically whether your offered unit has a documented history of moisture or mold, and ask for any verbal answer in writing as part of your lease file. A phone call this week gets you a number no listing site can promise.
