The Bruin

Ive been staying here since March, around the time the management changed. I have had mostly pleasant experiences with the maintenance team (only negative being the lack of work-scheduling in order to give prior notice of arrival), and always pleasant with the office ladies. The management has been lenient with financial hardship, they are willing to communicate when needed. In addition the location is amazing, my unit looks pretty nice (aside from usual blemishes that you can expect from an older building such as this one.) The neighbors are mostly respectful, aside from the occasional repeated honking at early hours (assuming its someone getting picked up). Anyways, overall I would recommend The Bruin above options like The Brazos Park Apartments, and honestly any of the other surrounding options.

Although communication with the property manager and staff has improved, such as answering emails and responding to work orders, this apartment complex is far from perfect. The old pipes caused the sewer to back up into my tub and toilet periodically, which sometimes ended up on the floor. I’m told the apartment isn’t responsible for the mess, and I’m left cleaning up the mess time after time. In addition, there is only one water shut-off valve, so whenever they need to work on the pipes for one apartment - which feels like multiple times a month - they have to shut off the water to the entire building. I wouldn’t recommend this apartment complex.
