Overall the Gateway is a pretty good place to live depending on your preferences. First off, its sometimes known as the party apartments. If you have nothing to do on a saturday you can walk outside and someone will invite you to a party (in a non-creepy, friendly neighbor way). If your neighboring a party you wont be bothered from noise. Your friends can come and park inside the gate without worry of being towed (unless parked in the covered parking spaces). Room mate matching isnt all its hyped up to be. There are two sides to the complex, one side's gate is always closed, the otherside is almost always open/broken. It is pretty safe here and very close to campus. I ride my bike to school and it takes almost the same time as riding the bus, very quick.
When signing the lease I got a ditsy person handling my info and kept calling about things that were already taken care of. If touring one day and signing within 48 hour all fees are waived, and if you reccommend the complex to someone and they tell the office, you get $50 off your rent. There are sometimes community events like a Madden tournament or a pool party. Maintanance comes the day you call, but if you want it done quickly you have to act like a mainiac to get any attention (but thats pretty much the same for any situation where you want something done for you in denton). I live on the 3rd floor with 3 other people in my place. There are key locks for the individual rooms and bathrooms inside each room, so if guests are over they must go to your room for the bathroom. Its a pretty new complex the furniture and appliances are in good condition, large microwave and family sized fridge space. There isnt enough light in the living room, but enough outlets for your own lamps. Individual leases guarantee your saftey if a room mate doesnt have the money. Electricity is the only bill you pay, you can add $30 to your rent each month (reguardless of electricity coming out lower than that) if its more they will notify you and add it to rent. OR you can set up an account with the electricity company and pay for the place as long as you are absolutely confident your room mates will pay. I have experienced some roaches, the exterminator has been here a few times and gave us tips on how to better get rid of them, which has worked. We are definatley not messy, but kept plastic bags under the sink which they used as warm homes. Overall its a bit pricey but good for it.
