The Cottages of College Station

The cottages is a great experience while you’re in college! They provide so many great activities throughout the week, and the little prizes you can win is a bonus as well. Their amenities are a great addition like the pool and the 24 hr gym too!!

The Cottages of College Station is hands-downs one of the best housing in town. The floor plans are incredibly spacious, and the management team is always super responsive with maintenance. Between the resort-style pool and the 24-hour gym, the amenities are always in top shape and make living here feel like a vacation. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. I'd highly recommend it to anyone!

For the most part, everything has been going great, but the biggest issue is the quality of the build. The place feels like it was put together very quickly, and the sound insulation is really poor. You can easily hear people talking from a room over, and every step my upstairs roommate takes is loud and clear. It can get pretty frustrating, especially if you’re trying to study or sleep. I’ve even recorded it because it’s that noticeable. My other complaint is the gym. It’s honestly pretty bad with several machines missing handles, which makes them unusable, and the equipment that does work isn’t great. But overall, it’s a nice place with good amenities and staff, but I really wish it had been built better. If you’re considering living here, make sure you live with quiet roommates.

I really enjoy living here! The housing is beautiful and the bus stop is not far. The facilities are nice and well kept, and the office is always super interactive and always has something for the tenants and their guests. Trash is regularly maintained and the outdoors (leaves/etc) are taken care of.

The Cottages - College Station On the day of my tour it was a little chaotic here. Save your time by not touring the model unit. My pics are of the model unit. They had students lined up, outside and inside to get new keys or other issues. Some, I heard mentioned their key fob doesn’t work and they can’t get inside their unit. Others, stating they weren’t getting hot water in the shower. Still others, mentioned about bugs problems or that the model unit they saw wasn’t their actual unit layout. While I was waiting in line to tour the model unit, I noticed there was a dead bird laying outside by pool area that looks like it’s been there a while. After fifteen minutes past my scheduled tour, someone finally showed me the model unit. Of course, it looked great and perfect. Everything was nice and tidy. No blemishes. I then asked, “Is it possible to tour a unit that’s not a model home?” “Unfortunately, our policy doesn’t allow us to show you what your unit might look like.” I respected that but it was concerning that you’d get into something sight unseen. I got back in my car and just about to pull away, when I noticed a college student walking by. “Excuse me, would it be possible for me to see your unit? I tried to ask leasing staff and she mentioned she had non available to show, and or they’re not allowed.” “Yes, of course I can show you,” he replied. Once we got inside his unit, him and his roommates were cleaning the place. After asking them some questions, overall they were satisfied but they didn’t like that their unit had paint on the floors and some other minor issues, including bugs. (To respect their privacy, I didn’t take pics of their apartment) Yes, this place does get very mixed reviews. Reviews are like a rollercoaster ride here. Location didn’t seem that bad. Some of the amenities seemed good too. But, the fact that weeks have gone by and I’ve opted out of receiving messages from them. They were persistent to continue sending them. I finally blocked them. I can’t say I’d recommend this place.
