Aug 2018: Be very careful signing a lease with this company. They will NOT work with you if you need to back out before moving in. We signed a lease almost 4 months before move in date and tried to get out of it 3 months before we were suppose to move in. They said we were responsible for the entire 12 month lease or we have to sub lease ourselves. I understand lease contracts and the legality of them, but this company won’t work with you at ALL. I feel like I signed a deal with the devil... Review from Google
Jul 2018: "good value for money"
This is just about the lease signing, I have not yet moved into Tradition. But just wanted to give a warning, these guys are hecklers. don't believe them if they're telling you there's only one apartment left, there's a lot left for sure. Be wary of pressure tactics to push you into signing a lease.
I ended up signing one with these guys, but I'm still hoping the management is better than my first impression.
Edit : I've stayed here for a year now and I've had good experiences with the management. They are easily approachable and responsive. Also I'm satisfied with the value for money of my unit, the basic one. The gym is great, the pool is clean and the whole place is kept tidy. would recommend for someone looking for their own room and bath. The only concern probably would be the area of the units, but that is a co Review from Google
Jun 2018: This place is THE WORSTâ„¢
Every horrible comment here is totally true, I feel so sorry I lied to a girl who told me she just signed a lease here that she’d like it.
Staff has a horrible attitude, horrible service, nothing gets taken care of (like work orders)
The ceilings leak, the hallways smell, the garage sucks, strangers can get in here pretty easily lol. Someone was going to sell me an item and said they were already in my building. Excuse me? Lol
Free food Friday’s are the only vague highlight here.
The coffee machine area is only maintained when they’re showing this place off. Otherwise there’s dog piss on the carpets in the hallways and other trash. Not to mention I’ve walked down my hall to see a large pile of poop greeting me :)
The theatre is almost never used. No you can’t rent movies downstairs, people at the front de Review from Google
Jun 2018: overall good experience at this apartment, what stood out to me was the service the CA’s provided, always ready to help with whatever we needed! Review from GoogleMay 2018: It is an amazing apartment. They have free food Friday’s as well as free candy and coffee. The employees are extremely friendly and you only have one roomate which makes my life so much easier. We have our own private bedrooms and bathrooms as well. Review from GoogleApr 2018: Ever since the renovation, this complex has be wonderful! The staff is really sweet and helpful and the rooms themselves are in MUCH better condition then before. The appliances are all brand new, so everything works well. My only complaint is that the doors into your bedroom are a keypad, instead of a regular key, and mine has given me some issues before. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend living here! Review from GoogleApr 2018: The staff has yelled at me I don't know how many times, the rooms are poorly lighted, they come into my room without permission, the stairwells are full of urine and dog waste (and has been there for 5 months without clean up), the carpets are all stained and discolored, and lastly the hallways always smell terrible. Its called the "Trashy Trad" by everyone for a reason. The staff really needs to work on their attitude. It's on Northgate so it is so loud at night it's hard to sleep and construction wakes me up every morning. Maintenance takes forever and there is barely any security.
Feb 2018: I love it here! Great staff! They make you feel welcomed and at home. The residents are all interactive and nice as well. The rooms are all new and fully furnished! As a current resident i was skeptic at first because of the size, but it actually isn’t an issue. The apartments are cozy and i made my feel like home. The apartment location is convienient, probably a 3-4 minute walk to Texas A&M campus and a 8 minute drive to Blinn.

Feb 2018: The Tradition is one of the WORST places to live off campus. Every single one of the negative reviews left here are true. When I first moved in, my hot water did not work, and my bathroom countertops were unfinished(still unfinished, I gave up on trying to get them to finish them). The fire alarm goes off constantly even after they "fixed" it. During the first month of living here, the trash chute did not work and the trash rooms became filled with trash. After a full week of management doing nothing about this, the maintenance crew cleaned it only to reveal rat poop and disgusting stains all over the floor. The hallway, the elevators, and the common areas are NEVER cleaned. The floor is cover with stains of all sorts and they have been there for months. The walls are so thin I can hear my roommate's entire conversation on the phone. After hav Review from Google
Feb 2018: Been living here for one year now and the main problem here are the fire alarms lol. Rooms are small but for 2x2 its reasonably priced with the amenities included (refrigerator, washer-dryer, tv, dishwasher, alexa ,microwave oven). Tradition beats most places because of its location and low cost. Review from GoogleJan 2018: This is not a good place to live if you want to live PEACEFULLY. They have this building wide fire alarm system that seemingly goes off at random times. I cannot remember the last time I have gone to bed without worrying that a LITERALLY deafening noise will wake me in the middle of the night. Would not recommend this place to anyone anymore. If you want ensure that you can still hear by the end of the year DO NOT LIVE HERE! Review from GoogleNov 2017: I am a current resident here and I really enjoy all of the different amenities that you guys have to offer. The gym is by far the cleanest and most updated gym I've had in my time here in College Station. The staff is also very friendly everytime I pass the front desk to get to my class. Review from Google
Nov 2017: I saw Ruth and Elizabeth outside of the corner bar, they spoke to me about some of the cool specials and stuff that are going on over there. I think that I might stop by for a tour, the offer 6 month leases since is perfect because I am graduating kinda early! They seemed pretty well versed in all the questions that I asked them. They also let me take some cool items for free!! what better than free stuff!! Review from GoogleNov 2017: Worst apartment I have ever been in! The overall construction from the parking garage to the actual apartments are poorly done. Constant fire alarms at all times of the day, multiple times a week. The staff is terrible and incompetent of doing their jobs. You'd be doing yourself a favor by not living here! OH, "amenities" are never open, I can't even use the printer. There's also mold that continuously grows back no matter how many times they cut it out! God awful hallway smells. Again, do not live here. Review from Google
Nov 2017: Do not live here!! The staff must be writing all of these reviews trying to lure in new residents, because this place is awful. The only good quality about this place is the location. The management is awful. It took them 40 days after we placed a work order to even come look at our TV. There must be something wrong with the plumbing system because we always have weird stuff coming up the drains in the shower and it’s disgusting. The parking garage is so narrow I almost get hit every day because residents zoom around the corners. The fire alarm goes off at least once a week usually at 2 in the morning. Everything is always broken- the coffee machine, the workout videos, etc. the elevators are awful and take forever. I can’t wait to find somewhere else to live next year. Don’t waste a year here and find somewhere else to live. Review from Google
Oct 2017: Honestly the traditions is the best place I’ve lived in college. The workers are incredibly friendly and everything is catered for the residence convenience! I wake up everyday and adjust my daily route so I can see if there is anything interesting goin on in the lobby. This was he best decision I’ve made this year! Review from Google
Feb 2016: As a former employee of The Tradition (aka The Trad), I feel as if I can give a different perspective to the other negative reviews. Yes, my review is also mostly negative, but the goal is to give you insight into why leasing with The Trad is a terrible choice.
1) The 2015-2016 school year was catastrophic in terms of leasing. The Trad essentially was only able to fully lease one of their two buildings. The second was, ostensibly, "closed down for refurbishing." No upgrades have occurred in that building since 2015. Essentially, The Trad managed to fool approximately 350 people into signing a lease.
