First I want to start off by saying that Dakota Ranch puts up a complete facade when trying to compel future renters. They up-sell their "amenities" to try and hide the fact that the actual units are not properly taken care of. Upon moving in i… See More

For a college residency, Dakota Ranch is very quiet. It's a short 5-10 minute drive to campus and the bus is always quick to get here. I've been here for a year and a half, and it's always been very homey. The staff is wonderful!

Loved the amenities and outdoor areas at Dakota Ranch, and the residents seem respectful. Our tour was great and our leasing agent knew the answer to all of our questions. I'm pretty confident I will be signing here!

Being pet friendly was big for me! Apartments are scenic and I love living out here as there aren't a lot of parties to keep me up. Good amenities and super friendly office staff! Properties are pretty clean as well.

This apartment complex is absolutely disgusting. When my son moved in, the apartment had not been cleaned at all. To their credit, they did send a cleaning team to try to clean around my son and his 2 roommates as we moved things in. However, the… See More

Good apartment complex. Safe, okay amenities, quiet, and nice to simply be around and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the Hill Country. Only bad thing is that rent is high and apartments are kind of small.
