The Landing at College Station, college-station-tx

I've had my many many issues with the landing in my two years of living here. As I'm going to be moving out soon, My overall experience was actually really good. The biggest perk about this place is of course the greenery around and the dog parks, not to mention the pond next door. I love the running water in the main pool. Of course they have their upgrades now but as someone who lived through construction I didn't really care about it very much. Staff had their on and offs but maintenance here is always top tier. Super quick and super friendly most of the time. There was one time where they notified us of routine inspections but didn't show up until 2 months later so even though they let us know it very much felt like they were entering without notice. There was a while where it took almost a week for them to get you your package but they're starting to use their lockers often now and I appreciate that. It's more expensive than they need to be but sometimes you just pay for convenience of living next to a&m and all the bus routes. I will say I've never heard of an apartment charging a cohabitation fee because two people are on the lease. It's $50 and I always felt like it was a scam. The actual apartments are very spacious (I live in the A2). So I was always happy with my space and especially the huge walk in closets.

Stayed in a 1x1 at the landing for about a year and it was a really bad experience. Since the day we moved in the apartment was constantly hot and terribly humid. We complained multiple times but they never fixed it. The constant 80-90% humidity year around in the unit caused mold to pop up all around the apartment that they also did not fix. Before moving out I sent multiple emails to management about all the problems over the year span to which they didn’t respond to any of my emails. Pictures below of some of the mold and humidity %

DONT LIVE HERE!! Bad Management! And Unreasonable!! Our experience at The Landing College Station was awful. We moved into an apartment with a carpet already in poor condition and a serious flea problem. Within about two weeks, our indoor cat needed veterinary care and flea treatment. We notified management, but the response was slow, so we had to spend our own time and money repeatedly cleaning, vacuuming, and treating the apartment ourselves. The furnished sofa was also dirty when we moved in, with dog hair, food crumbs, and debris left behind. We cleaned that too. Then, during winter, we went about a week without hot water despite repeated maintenance requests and follow-ups. We still remained cooperative, paid our obligations, took care of the apartment, and professionally cleaned it before moving out. We even had video proof of the condition in which we left the unit. And after all of that, management still charged us $452.07 in move-out fees, including $225 for deep carpet cleaning, plus charges for sofa cleaning, blinds, an outlet, and other items. We disputed the charges and had emails, veterinary records, treatment receipts, photos, and move-out video evidence. We still had to pay.

It’s not terrible, but it’s not the best place. If you have other options, go with them! My apartment wasn’t ready on move in day and I had to wait 6 hours for the cleaners to clean it. When I got in, I noticed damaged blinds and outlets. 1 of my outlets still doesn’t work, despite a guy coming into “fix” it that very day. I’ve had birds nesting in my dryer vent, bees building hives in the wall behind the dryer, and wasps in the door to get to the washer and dryer. The maintenance team has also left a ladder outside my bedroom window and it’s still there 3 months after use. They lack motivation and care for this property. They charge for packages if you can’t get to it within 2 days. They won’t refund you if your car has been illegally towed, for no parking pass DESPITE there being one the entire time.

Feels like they’ve gone through a change in management. First year here was great, but the experience has been a pretty steady decline over the last month or so. If you want a spot that’s conveniently located, it serves that purpose. But I wouldn’t rely on much else, especially if you’re a grad student or just a bit older in general. I’ll emphasize though that the staff, front desk and maintenance included, are awesome humans.
