The nice empty summer parking lot from which I was towed. Thx stack

Review №2

I do not live there, but I know the pain of having a friend or family member come visit you at your apartment and the embarrassment, waste of time, and cost of your guest getting towed. My 16-year old son parked in their entirely empty lot (literally hundreds of spaces) right by CVS, ran in to ask them where he could park, they told him where to go. It took him 6-7 minutes to run over, get through the line and ask. He didnt buy anything, didnt linger--just a kid trying to do the right thing. Didnt harm a soul in the 1,000 open-space lot--it was even during summer with no classes in session. By the time he got back, his car was towed by the A1 Towing guy whos just waiting like a vulture to make $300. That means, they had to initiate immediately. The best they could do was knock it down to $150. Id rather they had waited 5 minutes. The Stack was dismissive of the situation. So yeah, it works, dont park there yall. But if you want to be sure your friends wont be towed when they come to visit, dont live there either.

Parked to go tour this apartment and car was towed less than FIVE MINUTES after I left. Went to go back and get my ID and it was gone. Parked right on the other side of taco bell, and signage for the Stack parking lot is way on the other side of the parking lot - this section was not posted whatsoever. Parked here to go tour because I had heard of the predatory tow trucks waiting and didnt want to risk it. Low and behold, you cant park anywhere - even for a tour! Will be pursuing full legal recourse.

They clearly don’t care about residents and hired the predatory company A-1 towing to patrol their lot, they even tow front of ihop. They especially love towing when the lot is otherwise empty, if the stack would like to hire a reputable towing company, I would be happy to revise this review

The staff here is extremely stuck up and rude. Their parking lot is full of multiple towing incidents because they dont put up more warning sings even on guest passes even though a lady lied to me saying they do, also for a giant empty lot there is still towing. My friend who lives there got towed because she accidently left her visitor pass infront of her parking pass while walking to the university. There are some clever ways to park and not get towed here though ;). Their tap water got so many people sick as well. Their rooms are much smaller then they seem even for a one person and its over $1K. Internet here also sucks.

My husband is new to the area and had to go into a store to get his phone fixed and didn’t know he couldn’t park here, his car got towed within minutes. I’m 9 months pregnant and the money he had to spend to get it back was going to go towards the baby. The Stack is just preying on people, I can’t imagine what kind of people are running this place.

There are lots of things I loved about living here, but a few crucial things that should be improved. I have never had any serious issues with my unit, it was clean, in good shape, and they met all my location requests when I first moved in. I love the maintainence team and front desk people, all super sweet, quick to help and friendly. The rooms/apartments are small and overpriced but thats expected with the proximity to campus.BUT the management team OMG, the most unprofessional and inefficient people i have ever encountered and they aren’t even nice about it. If you have problem that needs to be addressed by the management you better count your losses because slim chance they will actually take care of it for you or even respond to your emails or calls. This is annoying because this should be the most helpful and put together part of the staff, but it is far from. They are terrible about communicating and getting back with you, they do not answer questions clearly, and they try to make everything your problem. Jackie was okay and at least has a good temperament but ever interaction I had with Leslie was bad, she is rude, demeaning, and always left me feeling unheard and blamed. I almost went to the corporate office with my issues because I felt that would have been more efficient and worth my time, even though all the issues I ever had were internal mistakes and they were never worked out for me in a timely manner. It is a shame the management is run this way because or else they would have an outstanding team of people and a smoothly ran facility.

DO NOT LIVE AT STACK. The single word to describe Stack is unacceptable. The entire complex is in disrepair, starting with the rooms. Upon move-in, I found my couch ripped to shreds. I could’ve found better condition furniture from dumpster diving. It’s a joke that Stack states that “furniture is included”. When I brought the issue to the staff, the initial response was “we’re aware of the situation”. Furthermore, the shower was disgusting. It looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in years. I stopped counting the dead cockroaches in my room after 6. In addition to the already dead cockroaches, I killed OVER 4 DOZEN LIVE COCKROACHES in my kitchen my first three days. Note that my apartment in only 450 square feet. I cannot fathom what kind of management would deem this as an acceptable condition to lease to a new tenant. Stack cannot even come close to competing with Rise and Aspire, despite the fact that the prices are comparable. I do not recommend living here, and I DEEPLY regret my decision to sign a lease.

Review №11

The room its self is OK. Couches and chairs have been completely destroyed and they only replaced the chairs after a year of me living here and said that they can do nothing about the couch which is an absolute eye sore. There were cockroaches all over my apartment when I moved in and had to get stuff to kill them myself. The management is not helpful and doesnt care about customer service in any way. They will TOW YOUR GUESTS even with a parking pass and not care because they get a cut of the towing fee. I couldnt get a response from the building manager for two weeks, after she said she would reach out to me, and all I received was a one line email after prompting her about her unresponsiveness. I will not be renewing and this place is not worth the monthly rent. You will be happier elsewhere.

Pros: proximity to campus, kind maintenance guysCons: paper-thin walls, unprofessional front desk staff and management, damaged couch upon move in (replacement denied), dirty apartment upon move in, full parking lot during weekend nights and game days (even though they say they tow)BBQ sauce was on counters and floors, a moldy glass of milk was in the dishwasher, and hair covered the floors when I moved in. I told the front desk and all they offered was the maintenance guy to vacuum the floors. The walls are also super thin. I could hear my roommate sniffle while both of our doors were closed and full conversations in the apartment next door. They replace the common area furniture (which seems to be barely used) every year, but resident furniture is torn to shreds and hasnt been replaced. Do not recommend it unless you’re desperate for a 5 min walk to campus.

There is literally no reason not to live here except for the price. If you can afford it, The Stack is the best way to go. If youre living in White Creek its time to grow up and get an actual place to live. Its cheaper than all apartments on campus and literally is right across the street. The Stack is very reliable. Absolutely have zero complaints and have been helped multiple times with various tasks. Its extremely quiet if youre one to enjoy emptiness. There are social events basically no one goes to but thats everywhere. You shouldnt hear about any complaints about living here and if you do its probably something minor that had been worked out. Wish I could renew my lease but this was a nice experience. Honestly going to suck looking at other apartments. Also dont get fooled too easily with the prices of other places, they usually dont include all utilities such as The Stack. The price on the website is the price you pay.

Had a very poor experience living here. Building is in shambles, and falling apart. The management are deficient in addressing our concerns. Avoid living here. I would NOT recommend at all.

Review №15

They care more about signing leases than retaining residents.The common area furniture on show to guests seems to be replaced annually while the rooms given to residents are falling apart. Every person I ever spoke to living there had issues with cockroaches, and when my roommates and I took it up with maintenance, we were told “The only way you can have cockroaches is if you brought them in yourself.” They were very reluctant to call in an exterminator for us, and it took multiple requests.Every shower I have seen in The Stack has cracking grout and is full of mold, even as they present them to new residents upon move in.If you want to live that close to campus, just live in the dorms, otherwise go live somewhere where the landlords care about their tenants.

Review №16

If youre considering the Stack at legacy point, its a great location but NOT WORTH THE COST. You have to pay for an entire month you dont even live there! They explain this is because you pay the same cost for every month you live there. But you move in halfway through August and you have to move out about halfway through May! Paying the whole month each time! That means youre getting to pay for an entire month of NOT EVEN LIVING THERE- and the rent is too high to begin with. Youre so much better off renting somewhere else and saving money for college books, classes, etc. Also my experience personally after living here for a year and moving out was terrible. There was mold in our toilets upon move-in. I wrote this off as being a bathroom thing, but I started getting sick with constant infections soon afterward. In addition, the mold in the toilets grew back constantly and then mold would grow in the sinks and in the windows- not just a little bit which is totally typical, but A LOT of mold. But still I wrote it off as just being a bathroom thing and the windows just being moisture related. Apparently our windows LEAKED like crazy when it rained and as time passed we noticed water damage spreading under the windows. These cracks were also filled with mold. I realized too late that the leaking windows were the cause all of the mold in our apartment. It was in the wall all along because of the leaky windows! I also realized after making this connection late in my leasing period that it was very likely what caused all of my infections. I did email the stack about this including pictures and documentation, but did not receive any notice afterward. In addition they are sneaky with their charges upon move-out. They send you a check for your security deposit with deductions already taken out and no documentation for what these deductions are for. Upon calling them, they told me I was charged $36 for the toilet seat needing replaced. I HAD an RA walk through and SIGN off that I had no damages in my bathroom. Upon asking why I was being charged for a toilet seat that was not broken, I was told I was charged because the paint on the seat was chipped so it had to be replaced. I asked why it was my responsibility to pay for a new seat under these circumstances and was told that I needed to email management to protest the charge. Again, upon emailing the stack I received no response. Even without the mold issues, being charged for a month I wasnt living there and being charged for something that was obviously not my fault WITHOUT TELLING ME is reason enough for me to recommend not living here.

I really enjoy it here, I love how close it is to campus and Northgate. The common areas are always so clean, they take care of the community. Although Im only here for the summer, I would totally live here if I went to TAMU, If I apply for grad school, Ill definitely be applying for lease here first.

The apartment as a whole is clean and stays pretty quiet. Great for other engineering majors.Also, the service at the stack is just on a higher level than other apartment complexes.For example, I had a minor issue with my shower seat and Devin not only made sure to fix it fast, but also made it a point to have it looking better than before.

Really great place to stay. Comes with a lot of really cool features and the staff is just awesome. My car broke down three times this school year. Twice, some staff members stayed past their shift to ensure that my car was working well and wouldnt break down if I travelled. Loved having my own bathroom and bedroom. The roommate matching survey works well, because I got a wonderful roommate. The apartment complex also has little parties for different occasions every now and then.

Lived here for 3 months. The internet was very good the first two months; however, the internet the past month has been completely unacceptable. If I cannot do my online homework at night in a college apartment, you need to fix it immediately. This is not a one time occurrence which I can forgive. No, this is several times a week for a month.The rent is exorbitantly high. Internet shouldnt be an issue.Everything else is pretty good.Edit: havent had any issues since review. Will update my review steadily overtime.

The Stack has provided so many opportunities for me. As a student, it gave me a place to make life long friends and have a sense of community that I truly loved. In fact, even after I graduated from Texas A&M, I came back! For me, the Stack really is home.

I have lived there for two months. The apartment was clean, and it was close to the campus. People at the front desk were so nice and friendly and were responsive when you needed their assistance. The maintenance was good too; they would fix a problem in a short time.

Review №26

The staff is unwilling to accommodate even the simplest needs such as getting a package for you on a Sunday, even though many of them live on site. This is the only honest review youll see about this place, as many of the negative ratings have been taken down.The rooms are small and offer no functionality. You dont even get a closet. If youre moving in, chances are, your room and apartment have NOT been cleaned prior to your arrival.This place does NOT fill up (they will tell you that spots are limited, but its really just a tactic to get you to close on the deal).The rent here is not cheap and the amenities such as the pool/gym are often closed for maintenance. A lot of the windows arent fitted properly so there will be water damage in most of the rooms.The five star reviews here are from people who work at the stack.

The Stack is an amazing place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Whitley she can help you with apartment ideas and just about anything that you may need. I love the location, it literally takes 5 minutes to get to campus. If youre looking for a place to live I would definitely recommend staying at The Stack. :)

Unresponsive staff and incorrect rent amount on the portal. I sent multiple emails to the staff only to be left waiting for months without a reply. Also, their portal occasionally charges more rent that what it says on the contract! Avoid living here.

Review №29

Though I do not have noteworthy encounters of mistreatment by the staff, I have heard many horrific stories from other residents. From my own experience and what I have heard, there is a noticeable issue of the staff lacking professionalism with their general lackadaisical approach to their own responsibilities. Additionally, the rooms of the building are cramped and designed cheaply judging from the thinness of the walls and the lack of sound proofing.

Review №31

Couldnt ask for a better place to live. If youre willing to pay the higher rent, youll get all you paid for. The front desk staff are always helpful, the maintenance staff are on top of things and keep the whole place running smoothly and cleanly. The rooms are top-notch. While I thought they may be fancy looking on the outside but still shoddy underneath before I moved in, I can say now after having lived here a whole year that the rooms are actually built very well, with many little well thought out details. In my experience the rooms are very quiet, only occasionally interrupted by loud people in the pool area (I have a pool-side facing window) since the sound echoes and the windows arent quite thick enough to fend off the sound. Besides all that, the amenities are fantastic, with a heated pool and hot tub, a full entertainment area on the second floor, a strangely sound-absorbing garage, and an all-around nice feeling - with regular cleaning and large windows, the stairwells are even nice!

I have lived at The Stack for 3 years and it recently went downhill. Maintenance never fixes anything and we have been putting in multiple work orders for months now. The staff downstairs is unfriendly and they cant answer anyones questions accurately. While the location is nice, it is not worth the cost at all. I would not suggest moving into this complex.

Ive lived at The Stack since Fall 2015 and had a wonderful experience living here. Below are the details:Pros:1. GREAT location. Youre within a 5-10 minute walk of ETB, Zachry, Blocker, and many other buildings on campus so its very easy to get to class. Youre within walking distance of Subway, Taco Bell, Chipotle, and McDonalds. Across College Avenue, you can walk to Mos Irish Pub, Piada, Blaze Pizza, and a bunch of other places for great food. You can also walk to Cinema Grill to watch movies.2. The maintenance crew here is AWESOME. Anytime I had problems in the apartment, maintenance was able to come and fix it by the next day. In the years that I lived at the Stack, I had a leak above my ceiling in the shower, a problem with my shower head and toilet, and a shaky fan, all that were fixed by maintenance the next day from when I reported the issue.3. The amenities and cleanliness are VERY good. The 2nd floor pool area and lounge area are really nice with the pool table, kitchen, TV, and all the other great stuff in there. The Stack hosts great events in this area on a monthly basis (I really enjoyed watching Mayweather-McGregor in the lounge with other residents 2 years ago). In your apartment room, the bathrooms are really well maintained. The kitchen and living room were always spotless when I lived here. Refrigerator had plenty of space. Windows always worked. The mattress was comfortable. The tables were really good too, especially in my room. I was able to fit a 32 inch flatscreen TV and a laptop on the table in my room. I had an XBOX connected to my TV and I kept it and all its wires underneath the table. On the side I kept an Outlet surge for all my other electronic devices (phone, tablet, charger). Overall, my room was pretty well organized despite all the wires I had around. Space was not an issue. You can put suitcases and storage boxes underneath your bed to save space. The wood on the table is great too because my laptop tends to heat up a lot while I work on it so when Id turn it off and go to sleep, I would wake up the next morning and my laptop would be cold and ready for use again. Kind of a weird detail I know but this really helped me maintain my BYOD device for 4 years. Air conditioning always worked great while I stayed here.4. The staff are very open to communication. If you have any questions about packages coming in, your lease, parking, anything really they are willing speak with you and get it figured out. Kendall and the staff do a fantastic job of this.5. You get over 60 different channels for your TV. It was convenient to have channels like TNT, ESPN, NBC, FX, FOX, etc. provided by The Stack. Make sure to get a Coaxial cable of decent length so that it can connect to your TV from one of the outlets in the room.6. They handle packages very well. I ordered a lot of stuff off of Amazon and The Stack always handled the items with great care.Cons:1. The only thing keeping me from giving The Stack a 5 star rating is the internet. It is EXTREMELY unpredictable. I would say about 80% of the time it will work great and youll be able to get your online homework done. There have been times though in the past when Id have something due at midnight and I could not work on it that evening because I couldnt load any web pages on The Stack Wi-Fi. When that happened, I would just go to the Blocker Lab on campus and get it done but it is a hassle to do this more than a few times a semester.2. This will only apply if you live on the Northeast part of the building. The noise on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from Harrys is annoying. I did not enjoy being awoken from my slumber at 2 in the morning because of screaming drunken college students next door. Theres also a bunch of macho weirdos over there who think its okay to rev the engines of their motorcycles AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE in the middle of the night while people are trying to sleep. You will probably have to get ear plugs for this.Overall, I had an excellent experience living here. Would highly recommend.

Everything is good, except the Stack does not have quiet hour policy like other apartments in the swimming pool area. Thus, you might easily hear people playing or talking loudly in the hot tub or swimming pool area after midnight when you go to bed......especially during weekends or holidays.

I lived here in a 1bed/1bath for a year. Could NOT wait to move out forever. Their location is next door to a concert venue that plays until 2am (My walls would shake from the bass). The performance is then accompanied by guys with jacked up trucks revving/doing donuts and drunk girls screaming until about 3:30am. Add in the thin walls/loud residents, and youll probably never sleep again.The room was fantastic, never had a bug.Good luck finding parking. Many people illegally park in the open lot and go to class, or if you leave on a Friday after office hours good luck. They dont tow outside of office hours, and everyone going to Harrys/NG park there.
