Resident 2011 - 2012

4/14/2013

I lived here from August 2011 to August 2012. I regret moving every single day. This is not a beautiful apartment. They are overpriced, a little noisy depending on your neighbors and unit (I was 2nd floor with a fairly annoying neighbor for 1/2 my lease), and the layout stinks with your bedroom window opening into the stairway. HOWEVER, this is the best place I've ever rented. Maintenance was very timely (even for AC problems), and were never anything but nice. He once stayed after on a Friday because my family came into town and my AC went out... had a smile the whole time. I never had any issues for even the littlest problems. The property manager was great. I am posting after reading the negative reviews to shed some light on things. This is not a complex for college brats. This complex, the staff, and the people who lived here were good, real people who were over the college mess that happens at so many other places. Parties don't happen here, and you'll get busted pretty quick because people don't want to hear your attempts to get laid or listen to you show off your drinking skills. People aren't generally jerks, and if you're a jerk then you will probably not like living here because people do things like report you for parties, littering, or doing things which good neighbors don't do. For the people who say the office isn't always occupied... I can agree with that. On the flip side email worked... I am assuming the same person is still there. I think getting bent out of shape because you can't get instant gratification for your problem says enough when you think about it. We all know San Marcos is FULL of apartment managers who don't care and who do even less. I moved off of Aquarena Springs Drive and my management now is always there...and full of dingbats with poor work ethic and the personality of rocks. (Country Oaks=never ever ever again because of maintenance and management but I digress). I'm just saying this isn't the best deal, the greatest layout, or the prettiest place you can find. This is a great place if you enjoy a quiet community, no hassle (if you're a good tenant), a friendly staff, and a good location for campus (ps depending on your building you can sometimes walk to campus as fast as the bus gets you there) and easy access into town...plus you'll enjoy HEB RIGHT there. You'll pay more for less aesthetically, but I would (and do) recommend this place every chance I get. If I were staying in San Marcos next year I'd pay the little more for the quiet security of that tiny apartment and the best renting experience I've ever had :). I'm biased because I loved it there.
