Cheatham Street Flats, san-marcos-tx

Great experience at Cheatham Street Flats. Nicole and Elle were wonderful and so pleasant. They make you feel so welcomed and it’s genuine. The apartments are great and amenities are perfect. Best price in town, furnished and utilities included! You can’t go wrong.

I was in de-stress looking for an apartment for my daughter since she will be attending Texas State and Nicole made it so easy for us. She walked us through the apartment tour, and even helped us with my phone issues to view the leasing contract. Nicole was super helpful, very attentive, super professional and super friendly! She was amazing everything worked out great! Can't wait for the moving day! Thanks Nicole you are the best!

My mom went in and worked with Nichole. She answered all our questions was very pleasant to work with. She took calls and answered additional questions that we had. Apartment living is not for everyone but after going and seeing other places I felt this was a better fit for my wants and needs. They offered no application fees or deposit and a nice size gift card $1,800 to move in. I really am hoping that it works out because I want to stay there as long as I can.

This apartment is a really great to place to live. It has great amenities, fantastic workers, spacious garage parking spots as well as living areas. Jamie is a great worker who is very attentive, kind, energetic, and always ready to assist you when needed.

I’m leaving this review to warn future renters. My experience at Cheatham Street Flats was misleading, chaotic, and unprofessional from start to finish. From day one, lease terms were unclear. The contract referenced 12 payment installments, and we were verbally told it was a 12-month lease at a lower rate. Later, management claimed it was actually only a 6-month lease, despite the lease language, which conveniently allowed them to raise rent and add fees. We were repeatedly pressured to sign new lease agreements last-minute, being told we had about 10 minutes to sign or risk losing housing — even while we were out of state. These new contracts offered no benefit to us, only higher rent, added fees, or shorter terms. Over time, we signed multiple conflicting leases for the same unit. Rent amounts made no sense: my roommate’s rent jumped from ~$850 to $1,000, while I had a “premium bedroom” and a parking pass yet somehow paid less. Charges like occupant premiums, extra base rent, and parking fees appeared inconsistently in the portal with no clear explanation. We also had roaches immediately upon move-in. Things escalated when the former manager came to our apartment and attempted to enter my bedroom to remove my belongings, even though I had signed a new lease. My roommate had to physically block him from entering. On top of that, one of the elevators has a non-working emergency call button that never worked for the entire time I lived there (over a year). If the elevator breaks, there’s no way to call for help — a serious safety issue that was never fixed. Management turnover only made things worse, with every staff member giving different explanations and no accountability. Do not move here. No location or amenities are worth this level of stress, confusion, safety issues, and unprofessional management.
