Dwell at 1600

Dwell at 1600 is the worst apartment complex in College Station, and probably the first world in general. We moved in to painted-over roaches a nasty mold problem, and a live infestation featuring roaches from every stage of life. The small German roaches that infest homes and eat human food, not the big ones. They were on every surface of our "future home," and when we asked about them, they blamed us for choosing to move in on a sooner date they offered themselves. Like it was our responsibility to clear them. Every interaction with staff was a catastrophic encounter of management failure. They are sinister and pernicious vultures who take advantage of any ignorance you have of Texas property code. They were not capable of stopping the infestation. Their solution to the mold was to paint over it, leaving the same soft, rotting wood beneath it. That was an apt metaphor for how this complex is managed. Do not believe their replies when they promise resolution. They simply forward you to the regional manager, who has the liberty of ignoring your communication. It is very likely your apartment will never achieve the habitability Texas law guarantees renters because the building is so old. If you are in a dispute with them, consider arbitration, and then suing if it doesn't work out. Take advantage of free legal counsel from the people who wish well for this world. None of them work here. If I had to spend a thousand lifetimes in absolute destitution, I still wouldn't choose to live here. The people who runs this place have missed their calling, which is ironic in a growing city full of opportunity. Avoid Dwell at all costs.

It is a decent apartment complex but is showing its age. The exterior of all of the buildings could use a new coat of paint or a pressure washing at the very least. Management is very nice, but can be a bit slow in responding to repair needs. The on-site repairman is very courteous. Some repairs are more patched than repaired and attention to detail is non-existent. I would recommend giving an apartment a good scrub down before unpacking as they don't do a true deep cleaning between tenants. Rent isn't too bad but is about $100 per month more than it should be for the age, condition, amenities and location of the complex.

DO NOT RENT HERE! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. Take a look at the dilapidated conditions of this complex. Walk the grounds, do not look at the photoshopped website. Management is non-responsive - tough to get on the phone and does not maintain weekend hours. They love to tow cars but have no issues with the grass getting to 10" tall and couches sitting in the parking lot. This is nothing more than a slum lord with a fancy website.

Me and my pregnant wife are very unhappy. Nobody has came to fix our air conditioning in our apartment. It’s been a week. All this money for a hot apartment is not right. Living here for a year and the ac has broken about four times with weeks with them not get fixed. Not getting reimbursed nor put in a hotel is unjustified.

I moved my mother into the Dwell@1600 in late August 2024. She absolutely loves it here. I as well love this community for her. I feel she is safe here. She’s allowed to decorate the outside of her unit anyway she likes without a lot of restrictions put on her. Easy access for her to utilize the grilling areas all over the community as well as the pool. The office manager Shama is AMAZING!!!! The maintenance staff is ALWAYS ALWAYS on their toes! Never once has she had to wait for any issue to be addressed. The staff is just top notch in my book. The units are nicely refinished, with new appliances. So happy I found this community for her!
