So I've seen a lot of negative reviews on here so I'm going to give my two cents, the good and the bad. Starting with the good: when we moved in, there was a special so we didn't have to put down a deposit and first months rent was $299. Awesome. Plus they let me pay off my pet deposit, which was extremely helpful, since I don't have $600 laying around. Management leaves you alone, no one snoops around your apartment at random times to see if you're breaking any rules. At other places I've lived (cough cough Campus View, here's looking at you) they would go into my apartment whenever they wanted without contacting me first and look around to see if I was violating policies. Huge invasion of privacy. So yeah, as long as you pay your rent, they leave you alone here. Speaking of rent, it's very reasonable. I pay $690 for a pretty spacious two bedroom. Another perk: this apartment complex is mostly residential. Read: older people live here, not many college kids. Which is super rad because it means that it's exponential more quiet.
The bad: Location wise, it's pretty not great. You aren't within walking distance of anything but a bus stop and Wolf Pen Creek. Speaking of Wolf Pen Creek, expect to be woken up a lot by loud music playing at all hours of the day/night from the amphitheater. Also, roads will be closed down around Wolf Pen Creek during any holiday, making it super inconvenient to have a life that includes leaving your apartment. Eastmark is located across the street (Southwest) from low-income housing, and those people come across and do a lot of hood rat activities (including breaking into my car and vandalizing my friend's motorcycle). Most of the time it's not a problem but it's super annoying to be late to work because someone decided to break into your car. Also bad, and this is the main thing that pissed me off with this place, they lied big time to us when we signed our lease. They promised us W/D connections but when we moved in they hadn't installed them. They kept stalling and promising us they would do it soon before they finally told us it wasn't going to happen. I'm actually still really mad about this. It was an incredibly shitty thing to do. Don't lie to people about your freaking amenities. Anyways...the management changes a lot. I know we've had at least 3 different managers, probably more, I don't keep track. Which is also probably why they don't pay attention to the tenants that much, none of them know enough about what's going on to lay down the law.
Anyways, hope this helped in your decision. Neither of these circumstances are true for me, but if I was staying in College Station and still wanted to live in an apartment, I would definitely resign my lease here, except I would insist on getting my freaking washer/dryer connections. The price is very fair for what you get. I would suggest living here and I hope if you do that you don't hate it.
