I lived here for 2 years while getting my bachelors at UNT. The complex isn’t quite walking distance to campus, but it’s less than 10 min or less away from UNT by bike, bus (free for students) or car. Rent is… competitive, but high considering the lack of any kind of amenities, no covered parking and lackluster support from the office. It is arguably too much for what it is, yet that seems to be the norm nowadays, so it’s reasonable I guess. I have a friend who lived here from 2017 - 2021 and it was $750/mo. When I moved in the rent for a 2BR was 1,050/mo… well when I renewed my lease it went up to $1,350/mo and the place still looks run down. It is an older complex, and it shows. Things like the internet being retrofitted, telephone line hookups in most rooms etc… but it’s comfortable, for short term college living, however I would not recommend making this a 10y+ apartment. Pros: - Close to UNT main campus (walking is a stretch, but you can bike, bus or drive) - 2 bedroom options are affordable compared to other apartments - Not /that/ run down for how old the complex is - Close drive to University rd, which has all the shopping you’ll need - Pet friendly (2 pet limit), and they allow well behaved pets over the weight limit - mailbox attached to unit, easy access (but very small) - Next to unit storage (enough room for a few boxes, a bike, it’s honesty spacious) - Internet speeds. I paid for the 100 gigs down/up package from spectrum, worked well - Washer/dryer hookup (2BR ONLY) - Only 4 units per building, so noise and smells are not common - On site dog trash bags, and trash cans for waste - Parking is easy - Plenty of storage - A/C is super effective - Walking distance to a small playground/park Cons: - Road noise (expect to hear every single dude who thinks loud cars are cool) - Frequent accidents at the intersection next to the complex. - Floors are paper thin, so if you are on the ground floor, you WILL hear every step your upstairs neighbor(s) take. Upstairs neighbors, please take note of this. - Cockroaches, and other bugs. - No balcony options - No microwave included - No on site entertainment, pool, or gym - Laundry building has been run down for months, only 2BR have washer dryer hookups. - Breaker often trips when using more than one cooking device in the kitchen. I cannot use a microwave and toaster at the same time on the same circuit. - Dumpsters are far away and always overfull. - Had an issue with AC my first summer. - Water damage to my neighbors apartment, water was standing on all their floors. Turns out an underground pipe had a leak, a crew fixed it in under 24hrs (which is amazing timing) but water had to be shut off, and all my neighbors stuff was damaged by an inch of standing water. - Incident where a sketchy individual attempted to open my door at 4am. (I recommend a doorbell camera.) - No covered parking. - Very limited “visitor parking” spaces, and they are ALWAYS taken by residents or broken down cars. - 24/7 towing enforced. Had a friend stay at my place for an hour (7-8pm) and was towed. - Constant construction around the complex. - Doors only have one lock. As a Texas resident, you are allowed to deny entry to landlords, know your rights! This place isn't amazing, and the leasing office hardly ever does anything to fix issues residents have. As I stated, the laundry building has been out of operation basically since I moved in. The place is comfortable enough for "cheap" living. But I would not recommend making this a long term living situation. Also, when I first moved in, it looked as if they just painted over all imperfections in the walls. There are holes, nails, screws, cracks etc... that are just painted over. They even painted over switches and outlets, so I had to use a toothpick to get the paint out of almost all outlets when I moved in.
