Raider Lofts

Raider Loft's renovations are absolutely beautiful. Spacious and super close to TTU. Office and Maintenance staff are great to work with, always trying to enhance the living experience for residents. I cannot wait to see what they do next!

We just moved in a few days ago as it’s right across from Tech where my husband works and Martie and Alyssa have been so nice and helpful. They also got us moved in very quickly as I’m soon to go into labor and I needed to get settled quick. Any questions we’ve had they helped us out and our apartment was clean and the new floors they just installed are very nice. So far so good on living here and I hope it continues to be good for us.

I also don’t recommend this place and completely agree with the reviews about poor management. As an international student, I felt disrespected and deeply hurt by the manager. Instead of offering help, she often made me feel embarrassed or “stupid” just for asking questions. Sometimes, it even seemed related to my accent when speaking English. I understand that international students may never have a native-like accent, but that should never be a reason for disrespect— everyone deserves to be treated with respect regardless of their accent. It was very discouraging, and in my honest opinion, international students in particular are not treated with respect. Whenever I needed help, the experience ended up being stressful and frustrating. The problems go beyond management. The complex often suffers from poor maintenance and frequent issues that are not properly handled. A friend of mine, also an international student, even had a serious problem with water spraying up from the toilet, and he too had extremely unpleasant experiences with the manager before moving out. The location may be convenient, but no location makes up for this level of stress and disrespect. Based on my experience, this has been one of the most discouraging situations I’ve faced as a student living in the U.S. If, after reading these reviews, you still decide to live here—well, good luck. You’re going to need it.

I don’t recommend this place. The apartment complex is very close to campus, the units are nice, and JR, the maintenance guy, is extremely nice and helpful. The manager however, is not. There are multiple water outages almost every week. Some with no notice. The electricity in my unit was also unstable and randomly went out a couple of times. I understand and appreciate that they’re trying to solve the problems of the complex, but it would be nice if we were given a proper heads up. All these aside, I recently had some extremely unpleasant experiences with the manager. She seemed nice up until the moment I told her I’m going to be moving out. A couple of months ago, I went into the office to ask about the procedure of moving out, and she answered with a rude tone and gestures. I didn’t think much of it then, since it was early in the morning and I assumed she was still not feeling her best that early in the day, but after a recent call I had with her, I know that was not the case. After receiving my final statement, I called the office to get some clarification from the manager regarding the numbers. I’m an international student and I’m not familiar with how the process works here in the United States. I politely asked for some clarification, and all she said to my concerns was “I don’t care”. I told her multiple times that I’m not looking for confrontation or a fight, but she kept interrupting me saying more hurtful things. Some of the things she said to me were: “It seemed like your apartment was never cleaned”, “I’ve never had anyone ask me these questions before”, etc. I need to say, my apartment was not clean when I moved out, since I haven’t been living there for the past three months. I had sent them an email apologizing that I didn’t get the chance to clean my studio before moving out, but I wasn’t even asking about the cleaning fee!!! Ironically, my apartment was not cleaned AT ALL when I moved in last year!!! That whole conversation made me feel extremely frustrated and stressed, and it seemed like she was trying to make me feel stupid for simply asking a question due to being unfamiliar with the process here in the United States. I’m a very calm person and I always try to avoid fights, conflicts, and confrontation and after my phone call I was shaking in tears. This complex has great potential due to its amazing location and cozy units, but no location or unit quality makes up for management that disrespects residents like that.

UPDATE: Martie is now the manager and she is a blessing. I genuinely appreciated my living space here and am thankful. If you are a TTU student thinking about living here, I say do it - Less than a 10 minute walk from campus - I never heard my neighbors, very quiet - They do so many events #freefood - The staff actually cares about you I am so sad to be leaving my perfect studio. I took some pictures of my place, mainly because I love my studio but also to show how you can make these apartments completely your own :) Original Review: This place has gone under new management and great improvements. I moved here in November of 2024. The staff is amazing. Anytime I have an issue Tammy is a quick visit away and helps me fast and efficiently. The maintenance is also awesome, JR can legit fix anything. I can say with all honesty I enjoy living here and I love my apartment.
