Hi, Loading...

May 2018: I wish there was a way to give these guys a ZERO for stars. Here's a warning for anyone looking to live here: "don't do it!" As if having two airheads always working the front desk isn't bad enough, they reel you in with the "good deal prices," but never tell you how they slowly increase the rate, slipping in added fees that you aren't aware of because they think students are too lazy to check over everything. They'll even say, "Oh, that was a mistake! I'll call our manager about it and we'll give you a call back soon." And when they say "soon" they mean, never, unless you hound them consistently over the phone. Not to mention, the AC units always break (I know five other residents with this problem as we speak), and the inside of the rooms are filthy. Some of them may be a little doable with a bit of touching up, but things break very easily Review from Google
May 2018: Best place ever! I am living here since January, and probably will continue here for 4 years of PhD. This is the first place I live when coming to USA and I definitely love this awesome place! If not being so demanded then you can find those listed advantages of place bellow: Landscape is just beautiful, quiet (far away high speed roads), green (not feeling like living in a concrete box of room like other new resident areas). Room are spacious and fully furnished. Many amenities (modern and large fitness center, lovely large swimming pool with barbecue station, basket ball, beach volleyball, tennis, spacious library and 2 more quiet rooms for study, free coffee and chocolate, free printing and computer access, free high speech wifi, etc.) They're trying to improve and serve residents better day by day! Staffs are awesome, they remember nam Review from Google
May 2018: I have lived here for two years now and have had consistently unprofessional and frustrating experiences with the management. The two things this place has going for it are its proximity to campus and the floor plans of the actual apartments themselves, which are decent enough that we've suffered through all of the other issues. Maintenance is slow to come fix problems and the package pick-up system is a mess. Our A/C has been working poorly for the past two months and we have called maintenance out two to three times to fix it, and each time they have told us "there's nothing we can do". don't be fooled by the recent re-branding- they have only updated the clubhouse (with a ridiculous, gaudy and extravagant style, what a waste of money) and I have seen no improvements done to any of the actual apartment buildings. Most recently, they passed o Review from Google
Apr 2018: Filthy as soon as I moved in. And I tried to understand because its an old place and not too expensive. But once they decided to spend money to completely renovate the office instead of the actual apartments, I realized they really don't care about their residents. They would rather trick people into signing than actually make it a nicer place to live. Also like other reviews have said, they mislead me into thinking I was getting a good price, where one of my roommates that signed up a week before school started is now paying 150$ less a month than I am. Review from Google
Apr 2018: Better Double Check Your Lease Rate Once You Sign We signed a lease toward the end of February with them after completing a tour on a Saturday. I called again Sunday to confirm the rate of $379 per month for the 4 bedroom floor plan and completed the application the same day. By time they finalized the lease agreement, the rate had changed to $399. I know $20 does not seem like a lot of money, but to a full-time student who is working their way through college, that is four to six more hours of work on top of school and projects. Every hour and dollar matters. When I contacted the front office, I was told by the manager that this sometimes happens and the rates are higher once you complete your lease. POOR experience so far and most of the reviews are correct, poor management. Review from Google
Mar 2018: I told them I was only interested in a semester/6 month lease from the start and the guy said "okay, great" and proceeded to tour me around. The tour ended with an unwanted, too detailed, annoying 30 minute slideshow about how the company chose the place's designs and pictures of their other apartments around the world. SO POINTLESS and the biggest waste of my time. ON TOP OF THAT, at the end when we talk about signing, he FINALLY says, "Oh, we don't have any more semester/ 6 month leases, so you'll have to go with a full year." So basically, not only was the presentation a waste of time, but so was the whole stinkin' tour. Way to go District on Luther. Review from Google
Feb 2018: Under no circumstances should you ever consider living here. Horrible management. Apartments falling apart. I was displaced out of my apartment for over 3 weeks because of a massive ceiling leak and placed in a hotel. When i asked them to reduce my rent since i couldn’t live in my apartment for three weeks they responded with, “we believe the accommodations we are providing are more than adequate”. On top of that, the debris and trash the workers left when they were cutting out the water damaged walls and ceiling was ridiculous. When i asked for a cleaning crew to come and clean it out i was given a “sure! They’ll be out there on Friday”. No cleaning crew ever came and i ended up cleaning everything. Don’t fall for the cheap rent and renovated clubhouse. Save yourself time and anguish and live anywhere else than here. Review from Google
Feb 2018: I lived in this complex for two years. The management never knew what was going on. I would ask them about maintenance requests or my rent and they never knew the answers to any of that. They would give me attitude about having to hand me my mail (even though it was always dropped off at the front office because of their policy). The gates never worked. Maintenance never took care of anything on time. We were without a dryer for a month and a half. During our last few months of living there, they decided to update our unit. They would send an email saying the flooring or the kitchen or anything else would get renovated on a specific day, but it always took a week longer than that. I once came home and they told me I couldn't get to my room because they had just changed the flooring. When I contacted the front office about it requesting my ren Review from Google

Jan 2018: As I answered in a survey last semester, I wouldn’t consider leasing here again even if it was free. I recently had a roommate threaten to stab me into little pieces until I died. The second time she threatened to kill me a couple of months. I called the cops and notified my other roommate, who moved out immediately. But when I requested to be moved for my safety and so I could follow a recommendation given by the police to never be alone with her again? Nothing. It’s been a few days. I was told there are other residents looking to be moved and, while they’re working on it, I’d just have to wait. I don’t understand. Doesn’t the threat of violence in an empty apartment I can’t step foot into put me at the top of that list for emergency reasons? I’ll never recommend this property again. As I said before. Not even if it was Review from Google
Jan 2018: DONT STAY HERE! 1st off the roommate matching is horrible! I was an incoming freshman and they put me in an apartment with a grad student from Asia who spoke a different language. She moved out in the middle of my lease, so I lived alone my second semester. when she moved out my utility bill doubled and they told me i was responsible for it bc I'm the old one living there so i was paying to sac the whole house but they locked her room so i was paying to ac an empty room. I was never there i constantly went home and stayed at friends I basically used the apartment as storage due to my roommate situation. Then when summer came around I moved out because i didn't want that utility bill. i paid out my contract they reassured me there would be no additional charges then in July they charged me damages and wouldn't give me my deposit back. they sai Review from Google
Jan 2018: This apartments suck.!! Do not move here! When I moved in everything was dirty!. My restroom, the fridge, the carpet, I mean EVERYTHING!! It’s like leaving in garbage.! The key never works!! They’re remodeling the office but the apartments are falling apart. The good reviews in here are from people who got the remodel apartments. Review from Google
Oct 2017: Is there any way to put no star? Because it is extremely bad. They lied every time, from the manager to the representative. 1. They let me move in a room which was not clean and without lights. 2. They always promise a lot but did not do it. I talked with the office manager in person to see her wrote down every single issue, but it never got fixed for over a month. 3. They put wired amounts on my account without any notice or bills. 4. They told me to fix any issue by appoint with them and visit them in person, which is very inconvenient. 5. As is mentioned in other reviews, dirty and price are the most common issue that are annoying. 6. They will always tell you to call their number. When you do it, they only told you that they transferred the message to XXX and that is what they could do. They could not help any further. The conclusion is Review from Google
Sep 2017: Upon learning that my son and his roommate would not be re-leasing, The District decided to upgrade the apartment with new appliances, etc right before move-out.That's fine, but charging me $140 for unwarranted cleaning expenses is not fine. I personally saw the apartment before move-out. It looked perfectly fine other than a few touch-up painting which should be considered cost of doing business. Regardless, it was not $140 worth. The attempts of my and I to discuss this with management failed as no correspondence was ever returned. All that received was an invoice with a kindly reminder that unpaid invoices would go into collections if not paid. I paid in a timely fashion, so they have received their payment in full. I hope that investors enjoy the extra $140 bonus. I cannot in good faith recommend this property to people I know Review from Google
Jun 2017: 1. Management: 5 stars. The new management is available and responsible. Our AC stopped working during one weekend and within hours a maintenance staff came and it was fixed. I think it is normal for an apartment to need maintenance and it is difficult to run a property so huge. A few hours of waiting was fine with me. The GM was very patient and heard about our concerns and understood our situation. We settled for a reasonable solution that was satisfying to me. Reasonable request will be answered! They did notify us the change of management with a letter on the door addressed to our names. 2. Facility: 5 stars Apt fully furnished! There is enough space for study in the bedroom and big HD TV with all the channels to watch games and series with friends in the living room. Review from 6/7/17 on Google
Apr 2017: Oh geez, where do I even start... So I've lived here about 2 years now and I will not be resigning for a third year. When I first got here I thought it was a nice cheap apartment and it was my first time being so far from home I just kind of wanted something with roomies and comfortability. Well, I got that the first year but this second year has been a COMPLETE mess! My new roomies both came into terrible rooms as in bad door locks, tore up blinds, dirty rooms basically because no one came to get their rooms ready. Then every month or so I would get a "courtesy" call about something " I didn't pay" only to show receipt after receipt, for them to say "oops, sorry we charged it to another account" but still sometimes get charged late fees.

Apr 2017: Was given an apartment in much poorer condition than the one I was showed. Had a hole in the wall to the outside in one bathroom that led to mold and took forever to fix. The other had a leak from upstairs that soaked over half of my floor in my room and caused my apartment to smell horrible and took them several weeks to fix. Was given no compensation for the "inconvenience". Maintenance crew does poor work. Very outdated, out of wifi at a critical time of the semester which is a service I payed for and didn't receive for 2 weeks of that month. New management company is no better than the last. Do not live here. Review from 4/23/17 on Google
Apr 2017: They don't care about you or your comfort while you are there; only what will make them the quickest buck. They changed management without informing us, and their rates vary hugely. The apartments are not at all the quality they advertise, and your "hall managers" will literally never email you back, or attempt to contact you after your very first day there. I haven't lived there in over five months and I'm still paying rent because they absolutely do not care. I couldn't even buy out the apartment; I'm stuck with it under my name until the lease is up! If you are looking for an apartment--KEEP LOOKING! You will find something better, I promise. Review from 4/12/17 on Google
Mar 2017: Honestly the worst place I have ever stayed at. The first room they tried to assign my 3 roommates and I was totally disgusting. Huge stains and holes in the couch, a hole torn in the floor. A fridge that someone seemed to use as a punching bag, questionable stains on the mattresses. They moved us into another open 4 bedroom but that wasn't much of an improvement. All the chairs and the table were missing half of their rubber bottoms so everything wobbled and scraped the plastic floor off. Maintenance never fixed it. The mounted microwave randomly had a shorn and almost caught the place on fire. Took them a few days to replace it, and it's not even a mounted one. Review from 3/12/17 on Google
Feb 2017: I enjoy living here, The bus stop is here, It is close to campus that I can ride my bike to go. Staff is friendly and There are coffee in the leasing office. Rooms are kind of old, but comfortable. Furniture is not new at all, but I do not stay to much in the apt so It is ok. Review from 2/9/17 on Google
Dec 2016: Do not stay here if you have any food allergies. I developed a serious food allergy a few months before I was supposed to move in and they denied letting me out of the lease, endangering my health. They told me they would put me with a good roommate who would be careful to avoid cross contamination. Roommate left their dishes in the sink contaminated with my allergen. Roommate and their family were complete lunatics and caused me all kinds of trouble. Review from 12/26/16 on Google
Sep 2016: I came here in January as a sublease.I like it here so I renewed my lease, when i did there wasnt a promo though :( that stinks for me. I'm not a student and they don't discriminate that. Ive had to request Maintenance cpl times and they get it done that day...no issues. I also referred my friend who moves in next week. I've known her from back when we were in school..many moons ago lol. can't wait :) the office has been so cool with me. I finally went to an event they had. UFC :). Only thing is the fee for paying online. And there is no lighting in the living room. Review from 9/3/16 on Google
Aug 2016: I was a resident for 2 years and I loved it! As you arrive for check in and to get your keys, you automatically feel welcomed. The DOL staff is very enthusiastic and excited to meet all the new residents. With all the events that are held, it definitely feels like you're apart of one big family. My favorite part about living at the DOL was the pool size. It's one of the best, if not THE BEST pool in college station. The work out facility is great as well, there is an open space that's great for stretching, cardio, yoga...etc. along with free weights. Overall this is a great place to live and I enjoyed my time there. Review from 8/27/16 on Google
Jun 2016: I lived at the District on Luther in a 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom apartment in the 2015-2016 academic school year.. The overall process of signing the individual lease and getting my apartment was very easy. The rent for the apartment is fairly priced and the utility bills average to be about $50+ a month. If you are living here, first thing to do is to take pictures of everything do not move in at all. Then email the manager all the photos and with a list in writing of all the things wrong with it. The maintenance team will come and fix it eventually. Let them know if anything ever breaks or goes wrong in your time there. Review from 6/5/16 on Google
Apr 2016: I've lived here since July of 2015, and I have to say I'm impressed. They were the only apartment complex that was willing to work with my schedule since my school required summer classes right when most complexes tell you to move out. The price is good as it comes furnished and isn't super tiny, and whenever I needed to put in a maintenance request, it was fixed or replaced within the next day or two. The complex managers work really hard to make sure your needs are met, and the staff is all generally nice. Review from 4/29/16 on Google
Apr 2016: This is by FAR the worst place I have ever lived. The staff is very disorganized and always losing your paperwork and mail. Move in day was extremely slow and there was a whole line of people that they had "forgot to make keys" for. Once I got into my apartment their were massive rips in the laminate flooring as well as holes in my wall and door. My carpet reeked like animal pee and their were large roaches all in our kitchen. It took thee staff over a month to come in a "fix" the problems. My roommate continuously does drugs in our apartment and the staff just over looks it. Review from 4/22/16 on Google
