Warehouse and Factory Apartments at Northgate - College Station, Texas

Zach W.

I've generally had a positive experience so far in the Warehouse building. The location is extremely convenient being close to campus making a bike ride no more than 10 minutes for me to most of my classes. I like to study in my apartment and the complex is very quiet at all hours which is nice. The staff is very friendly and they host frequent events for all sorts of things from groceries to coffee to food. There is a fancy coffee machine in the lounge area that I used to use but it was breaking down a lot so I just found it more convenient to brew my own. As far as the fitness center goes, it's pretty small but there's usually no more than 2 or 3 people in there at a time. There are plenty of dumbells as well as a barbell rack and a bench press bench. One of the treadmills doesn't work so there are only two functioning treadmills. The water fountain also doesn't work and hasn't worked for quite a while. I'd say overall it's a pretty good complex to live in and has cheaper rent than most others around it.

The main advantage is close to campus location and very friendly & helpful manager staff. I had lived here for almost two years and liked it, however, I had constant problems with the dishwasher breaking and sink leaking all the time, at one point of time I decided that it would be easier just not to use the dishwasher rather than clean the mess when it is leaking and calling maintenance every time. Also after a year living here I had noticed a problem with cockroaches and gnats. Hallways in Factory were rarely cleaned so at the end of my lease I could feel the smell of trash in hallways and stairs. If the location near campus is crucial, this place is the best option for price and quality, however, there are definitely more options with lower price and bigger space & quality of living further from campus.

Unfortunately the only good thing about this apartment is the location. I lived in both the factory and warehouse building and unfortunately neither building is worth the expensive rent. You will want to invest in a good vacuum living here because there is an unexplainable amount of dust/hairballs and no matter how much you clean more will always show up. There is a fruit fly problem but it is significantly worse in the factory building and of course when I told management they looked at me like I was crazy and downplayed the issue. I do not know if this is because the trash chutes being dirty all the time but it was extremely frustrating to constantly have gnats in my face. Warehouse is no better because you have to take your trash all the way out so if you are on any floor but the first it is inconvenient but at least less gnats. Also the buildings are old so the appliances do not work as well as they should. I had dishwasher and garbage disposal problem that lasted the entire school year. My roommate lived there before me and said this was an ongoing issue and she got so tired of making maintenance requests that she left the appliances broken. However, I was not paying over $1000 a month to not have a functioning dishwasher. They stubbornly tried to fix it the entire year before finally giving in and just putting in a new dishwasher 2 weeks before the semester was over. There are also only 4 (maybe 5?) visitor parking spots for an entire 2 buildings and people often save the parking spots for their friends with their own cars during the week instead of parking in their assigned spot. If your guests park anywhere else but visitor parking they will 100% get towed. Additionally the lighting in the rooms is not good and it is worsened by the dark ceilings. The printer in the factory building never works and is broken more often than not. I’m also sad to say that I had severe problems with management that were not resolved until I got my parents involved. Stopped having issues after that. Im not sure about the current wifi situation but when i lived in the factory building we experienced a lot of internet outages. This was extremely stressful bc it would happen for extended periods of time which was brutal during finals. In addition to this staff and management are unprofessional. They are constantly changing their hours of operations but never update their online times. Additionally the place is crawling with fleas so if you have pets make sure they are up to date on flea prevention. I missed 1 month of flea prevention for my cat and she was crawling with fleas (she had not gone anywhere but our apartment). I would not recommend these apartments to anyone.

Overall, this apartment is good. Management is nice, repairs are quick, the apartment for the most part was clean. The only functional issue is that the kitchen is very small and some random water stains. HOWEVER, do not let this deceive you as living here is not for the faint of heart. This apartment is a hop, skip, and a jump (literally down the block) from Northgate, which is the party central of the campus, so the ongoing noise from there PLUS the extremely loud cars driving by nonstop makes this place extremely painful to comfortably live in. Also, the car's aren't just loud, they're very, VERY, VERRRY Loud, so loud, that I've thought that having no ears or being deaf is a better alternative to putting up with this. If you've ever been to an airshow, think about an f-22 doing a fly by next to your window at random points throughout the day, and yes, I meant throughout the day. The entire day. 24/7. Never ending. And one may consider why they don't put any speedbumps around this area, great question honestly. Don't expect to have them any time soon. I honestly can't wait to be done here and move to a new apartment far, far away from here. Home should be comfortable, not a constant drag race. I can not recommend this place to anyone who wants a bit of peace and quiet in their life. Constant yelling (and screaming) from outside and the never ending races makes living here an true challenge. Also the TV is slow, can't watch anything on it.

this place is one of the cutest apartments you’ll find, the brick interior gives new york vibes and i love it! Great location, very close to campus, northgate, and other fun places to visit

Literally, one of the best places I've lived as a student.

Pros:
- location is right in northgate, making travel to campus easy (right off of the northgate busline) and parking if you plan to go out on northgate!
- staff is super friendly and nice. I feel like how people interact with you really matters when it comes to impressions of a place, and here, everyone is kind and considerate.
- maintenance is quick and efficient!
- place is generally well maintained and clean
- lots of community engagement opportunities via social media. Makes the place fun and living there an incentive.
- prices are pretty great for what you get. Wifi and internet, and water is included, and the option for furniture buhe added bonus of location!

Cons:
- only issue I had when I lived there was the trash shoot room, and the smell. Although I recall them addressing that towards the end of my lease. It's not even a big trash problem.
- no dog enclosed park, so residents often take their dogs around the property but leave their waste. It's not necessarily the management's fault, but having a dog space might mitigate this issue
- noise. It's northgate. You'll get some yellers coming out of bars and such around 1-2am. It was especially annoying for me living on the first floor corner with my window facing the streets. It's not extreme though

Living at the Warehouse and Factory apartments has been amazing! The units are beautiful, the location is convenient, and the staff are so friendly and efficient. It’s perfect for A&M students who want a nice apartment in a prime location. I don’t have a car, and the location makes it possible for me to access everything I need as a college student with short walks. Would highly recommend!
Also, work orders are completed immediately. I have to say that my unit did have some problems with appliances and dirt when I moved in, but everything was fixed in a timely manner after I put in work orders. They even replaced my TV and dishwasher after I requested maintenance which was nice. I also love the office giveaways, events, and snacks that are always being held. It makes for a community feel like is sometimes hard to get in big apartment complexes.

I absolutely love living at this place. The maintenance team was incredibly responsive and always went above and beyond to fix any issues I had in my apartment.

Plus, the location of the apartment complex was unbeatable! It was so close to campus that I could walk pretty much everywhere I needed to go. My only thing was they can improve the elevator in the factory building. Rest everything is perfect!
