The Standard at College Station

Although the location is good, we’ve experienced repeated serious maintenance issues. We’ve had water damage to the kitchen flooring twice, with boards lifting and prolonged moisture, a broken sink that leaked for days due to delayed and incomplete repairs, and the apartment clearly hadn’t been cleaned at move-in, with lots of dust and dirt. Management has been unhelpful and ineffective at resolving issues in a timely or thorough manner. Not worth the rent. I would not recommend.

Not sure where to start, but I'll just leave my most recent grievance. To preface, the starting price for rent at the Standard is set at hundreds of dollars above the average College Station rent price. Most recently, management has decided to change the trash policy so that residents have to dispose of EVERY cardboard box themselves, directly at the dumpster. The nearest dumpster is outside the garage on the first floor of the building. So instead of having staff collect the boxes from each floor, or allowing residents to dispose of boxes in the trash disposal on each floor, they want residents to break their boxes down, lug their own loose trash down and outside in the cold and directly to the stinky dumpster. Apparently all the rent and fees that I pay don't 100% cover garbage disposal. Apparently when the garbage disposal is agreed upon in the lease, the Standard reserves the right to change policies as they feel. Regarding the 5 star reviews, the management has multiple 5 star reviews from employees. This is against Google's terms of service and misleading.
