12 North

Mara was an excellent tour guide! She was patient, allowing us to take our time at each stop and we never felt rushed though the many questions we had. In addition, the apartment complex is beautiful!

After three years as a resident at 12N Apartments in College Station, I’m beyond disappointed in how management handles situations involving long-term tenants. Paying $85 per month for an assigned parking space should come with a reasonable level of communication and judgment. Instead, there was no warning, no outreach, and no attempt to resolve what was a minor issue before approving the tow of my son’s vehicle from his assigned spot. That response speaks volumes about priorities. This is not simply about a towing incident (although you can see other predatory towing incidents in other reviews); it reflects a broader approach to resident relations. When someone has lived there for multiple years, paid rent consistently, and paid extra for parking, a courtesy call, email, or door notice would seem like a reasonable first step before imposing significant cost and inconvenience. There was no effort to engage constructively, no openness to discussion, and no follow-up afterward. Calls regarding the matter went unanswered. For prospective tenants, be aware that policies appear to be enforced rigidly and without discretion — even in cases involving loyal residents using their own assigned, paid spaces. If an issue arises, you should not expect proactive communication or flexibility. I expect 12N may respond publicly to this review with a reply, but a generic response carries little weight when direct outreach has gone unanswered. Ultimately, actions matter more than words, and this experience leaves the impression that resident loyalty and resident relations are not meaningfully valued.

Edit as of 1/2/26: The fire alarms have gone off roughly 4 times since I left my review and the wifi has dropped more times than I can count. Thankfully the internet issues are short-lived, typically lasting 10 minutes or so, but they do occur often. Changing my review from 4 stars to 3 stars. If you decide to move here, please take note of these issues. Like others have said - you get what you pay for if you decide to live here. A large majority of the apartments are incredibly small (aside from the premium rooms - but they'll cost you a good amount of money). The pros: Great staff, especially the maintenance man Travis. Repairs are made very quick and are always high quality. The apartment has a constant number of events going on practically every week so it's easy to meet new people. The cons: Fire alarms go off basically 1-3 times a month with some lasting for 10+ minutes and others at incredibly inconvenient times. The internet provider is by far the worst provider ever. There are constant short internet outages with the occasional 1+ hour outage. Calling the support number for the internet provider does nothing and they typically blame you even when it's a known apartment-wide issue. Overall, I enjoy living here primarily due to the distance from campus and being at practically the center of Bryan/College Station. If you're looking for a decent place to live that is also close to Northgate - this could be the place for you. Just take note of the issues I mentioned previously as they aren't going to go away any time soon.

I recently toured 12 North and had a pleasant experience. The apartments are spacious, and the facilities are very clean. The pool area is lovely, and the gym was clean and well-organized. The staff was also great. Neha gave me a quick tour and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, which made the experience even better. Overall, the community has a very positive and comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend :)

Please live somewhere else if you don’t support predatory towing (like any decent human being). 12 North does NOT have proper signage on visitor spots. Getting towed from an unmarked spot is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never had a traffic ticket, let alone a car towed, in my life. I ALWAYS read the signs to make sure I’m following the rules, and this instance was no exception. The few signs they have tend to get blocked by parked cars, which was exactly the case for me. Do they expect people to have x-ray vision or something? Hard to read a sign when it’s blocked. How about management takes accountability and improves the visitor parking instead of deflecting the blame to reasonable people. Even residents here admit the visitor parking sucks and needs to improve. Never seen such a terrible system in my life, and I’ve lived in/been to apartment complexes all across Texas. Even I would do better at running visitor parking. I’d try to minimize the number of cars towed rather than maximizing, by having visible signage. What do they even achieve by doing this?
