I gave the deposit for a new apartment in houston. Can i trust apartment ratings websites?

I already gave the deposit to move into a safer apartment due to high crimes in my area. Someone's car tires were stolen a few weeks ago and a guys legs were shot and they took him to the hospital in the middle of the night. I told about this to as many people as i can since the management likes to keep it quiet. Anyway as much as 5-6 families are moving out soon and some already did. I saw this another apartment near by called meyergrove apts. I loved the place the people. it's about 30 mins from where i live right now . But something is worrying me - They have a sister property called Meyer oaks . I checked their ratings and its' only 62% in apartmentratings.com . But the apartment management i gave my deposit to , have a 100% rating. and they are all Great ratings. Now the sister property is only maybe 5 mins from this property. how's it that the sister property have 60% only rating and this property have 100%??? Can i trust them ?? i gave the deposit in a haste and didn't think too much. I talked to some guys outside the apartment who lived near by and they said " this is a great place to live"!! .- which i believe too.. but.... what do you think ??

1. I think you are WAY too concerned with the responses at www.apartmentratings.com. NONE of those comments are verified in any way, and negatives may simply be the result of one or two s disgruntled tenants. As well, how do you know that management isn't the crowd patting itself on the back at the 100% rated facility ? If you REALLY want to know what's going on, contact the local police to see the 'call rate' to a specific complex. You will find out quickly if the complex is a constant problem or not.
