The Lyndon, san-marcos-tx

I would not recommend living here. I lived here for two years, and it was not worth the money. The property was constantly dirty, and the staff was rarely helpful. It often felt like no one knew what they were doing, and getting clear or consistent answers was frustrating. Since the new management took over, my experience has only gotten worse. In my opinion, the new management has been significantly worse than the previous management. The worst part was the move-out process. I was charged outrageous move-out fees, including being charged to replace the carpet even though it was already dirty and in poor condition when I moved in. I was also quoted one amount for certain move-out charges beforehand, but the final bill ended up being much higher. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing. After living here for two years, I can honestly say I am very glad I chose not to renew my lease. I would not recommend this apartment community to anyone looking for a place that is clean, well-managed, or transparent about move-out charges.

The Lyndon has really gone downhill since Scion took over. The hallways constantly smell like trash, the pool is greenish-blue, and the maintenance team has been disappointing. It feels like the good employees were let go while the ones who weren’t doing their jobs stayed. I’m honestly glad we moved out. Good luck to everyone moving in this year—I hope things improve. And Sarah, deleting my mom’s Instagram comment instead of addressing concerns says a lot. Also, the office isn’t a dog daycare. Having your dog there all the time doesn’t look very professional. Scion, please do better.

This has been the best place for my boy. So convenient to TX State. My only wish would be for someone with a pulse to answer the phone not an AI robot. Starting at 8:45am(I know they open at 10am-figured someone would listen to messages and call me back), I spent an entire day trying to talk to someone on the phone, leaving messages and never received a call back. This isnt the 1st time. Last time no one called me back after a couple days, so I drove down from Georgetown. It was resolved right away,but it took me going there to talk to someone. Very disappointed with this AI answering calls. We pay on time every month. Never delinquent. Do me the courtesy to call me back.

If I could rate this place zero stars I absolutely would. The only positive I have for this place is that most of the staff is nice. My main issue with this horrible excuse for an apartment complex is that they have been basically scamming money from me for 9 months. I graduated in May 2025 and had renewed my lease because I was planning on staying in San Marcos for a master’s program however due to unexpected family circumstances I had to move back to my hometown, which is 4 hours away. When I talk the complex about this they said that I was responsible for either getting someone to sublease my unit or I would have to pay off the remaining months on the lease in order to break it. I let them know that I was moving out before my original lease was even officially over, but somehow I was expected to pay for the remaining months on the renew as well UPFRONT (which would have totaled over $11,000). The person working the front desk at the time said the best they could do for me is to add me to their internal sublet list which they did. What they failed to tell me is that if I had turned in my keys to them I wouldn’t have to pay for things like utilities or the insurance fees. I would have any had to pay my base rent. The only reason I even found out about this policy they had is because I got a violation fee to my unit because of my roommates and I called and explained my situation to the very nice girl that answered the phone for me and she told me about this policy. So 9 months after I moved out I find out that this entire time they have been taking money unnecessarily money from me just to fill their pockets. In the time since I moved out I have come to stay in my unit for a weekend three times, since I was paying anyways but if I had be INFORMED of this policy I would have turned in my keys in JUNE WHEN I MOVED ALL MY STUFF OUT. I would never recommend living here EVER and I wish I never did because The Lyndon is only interested in filling their own pockets and have ZERO interest is helping the college students they cater themselves to.

Our kids live there. Love the apartment and proximity to restaurants and easy shuttle access to campus. However, the office staff is NOT friendly or easy to work with. My daughter is in the process of moving units. We were given incorrect move in information by the office staff, were told that we were lying about the facts by the office manager, and they refused to offer reasonable solutions to THEIR mistake. Complete lack of regard for customer service or taking accountability. Living in another city as the parent made it impossible to come to a solution that would address the issue. If I hadn’t already signed a contact I would have moved her somewhere else. Highly consider other choices before dealing with the hassle of an inefficient office staff.
