Aug 2018: I had a tour of the Marc just the other day, and it was an absolutely great experience. Our leasing consultant was extremely sweet and helpful. I do not have anything negative to say about it at all. But I am still waiting for my welcome e-mail ☺ï¸. Anyways, the community looked very well taken care of and the aminities seem great! I am super excited to become part of the Marc community! Review from Google Jun 2018: PLEASE READ & UNDERSTAND. This is BY FAR the worst apartment complex and management staff in the universe. I do not spend time doing Google reviews on much, but I can ensure you (especially if you have children) that the worst decision for a place to live is The Marc. Not one negative review you read is inaccurate. Every time I go into my kitchen or bathroom at night, there are large cockroaches (the kind that an fly) running along the floors and countertops and no, I do not leave out food residue nor am I an untidy/unsanitary person. Went throughout winter without hot water and have suffered through the hot spring time without ANY air conditioning.
The pictures on this review are how they left my apartment on a Friday until Monday. They even changed the locks on my front door unbeknownst to me AT ALL. My login to the resident portal here w Review from Google Jun 2018: I've been living here for almost a year now and originally before they got new owners I hated this place. I constantly was having issues of hot water and pest issues but when the new owners came in it has been a lot better. Their maintenance crew has been amazing, I one time had my fridge break and they were able to give me a new one within 1 day, something the previous owners and maintenance would have never done before. I've been very impress with the new owners so far and they've been doing a good job fixing up this place. They've given me a brand new A.C. system, new windows, and the water has been so much better. Review from Google Jun 2018: DO NOT LIVE HERE! This is the worst place I’ve ever seen, ever! And not safe at all. Wanna rate it zero star but the system won’t even allow me to. Horrible maintenance & management, with lots of security concerns. The management team are rude with no respect to the residents. All they care about is your $$. Constantly run out of hot water or no water at all. I was told to go to the university Rec center to take shower because they did not know when they can fix the boiler during the summer time. Had no AC for months all year round, especially in the winter and summer. All they can give u is a window unit in one room with no apologies. I placed work orders right after I moved in. All they did was to remove my request from the list and never show up. The property is old with low maintenance. Have heard a few robberies here after I moved in. Review from Google Jun 2018: Despite what people say, I can honestly say i am pleased with Erica and the staff there. I was unhappy with the apartment assigned to me and they did the right by me by placing me in a nice apartment poolside. They are under new management and everyone deserves a fair chance. They are truly trying to change their reputation and I hand them credit for assuring I was satisfied with my new place. Review from Google May 2018: Update:
I have been living in here since March and I can say the only thing I like about this place is the maintenance. Ramiro and Vincent. They are some really nice people. When we moved in our house we didn't have AC and had to deal with it for weeks cause the office manager love to lie to get out her face and give you the run around. However when we got the AC fixed they left the unit uncovered. We was told that someone would come the next day to fix it and that was in March. Ramiro and Vincent can and cover it cause I had to make a new work order for a job they label as complete. I was frustrated cause everytime the AC came on and off it would blow debris on the floor. I have a baby that crawls. So I was always worried that he might get into it. And I didn't see no point of calling the office cause they already knew the problem. Thank Review from Google Apr 2018: New management has taken over and slowly things are getting better around here and that's a great thing. It's about time. All you can do is take one day at a time. Time will tell. Review from Google Mar 2018: Only because of Mr. Justin (leasing agent) and Mrs. Sarah (regional manager) Justin is respectable, honest, trustworthy ,organize reliable , and self-motivated. He truly work hard to get the job accomplish. He's the only one by my opinion that you can truly trust that will communicate reliable trustworthy information and not sell you a dream or false hope. I have seen with my own eyes JUSTIN go above and beyond for not only my family but other families that has walked through the doors at the Marc. Justin never over talked THEM he always listens. He is just a respectable person. Justin has a way of making you feel that you are the only person that he's working with. If you are an employer and you are looking for a great leader that show up every day determine to accomplish whatever goal he set for that day then I suggest you call the Marc and Review from Google Mar 2018: I have lived here for 2 years so far and it is awful! On the 505 side where I live, there has been a constant string of crime that happens to where I don't feel safe where I sleep at all! Last year, my car even got broken into and about a month ago, two thugs were actually fighting right in front of my vehicle and scratched the paint. When I reported this to the leasing office, the only thing they could offer was to move me to a different unit but I would have to pay a transfer fee to move to a more expensive apartment. The neighbors are always smoking weed to the point where we smell it all over our apartment, but the management doesn't care about that. The walls are incredibly thin and there's a lot of signs of wear and tear that makes the unit feel gross no matter how much cleaning my roommate and I do. There are plenty of other places wher Review from Google Feb 2018: Female residents are harassed. Shootings. Multiple animals being mistreated by residents. One owner left their dog in a cage outside their front door on a cold night. Multiple people living in one bed room apartment smoking pot. Trash throughout the grounds and low maintenance. No hot water many times. Bugs. Management could care less. Security guard is never there. If your student has a signed lease the university has a service that helps them break it. Get them out!! The pictures you see of residents living there happily is a lie! Feb 2018: Slums!!!! Every negative thing you read/hear about this apartment complex is TRUE! The owners do NOT care. The office staff is incompetent and lazy. Go ahead and report it to office and watch it go in one ear out the other. Female residents are harassed. Shootings, fighting and stabbings. Multiple (more than allowed) animals being mistreated by residents. One owner left their dog in a cage outside their front door on a cold night. Multiple people living in one bed room apartment smoking pot. Trash throughout the grounds and low maintenance. No hot water many times. Bugs. Management could care less. Security guard is never there. If your student has a signed lease the university has a service that helps them break it legally! Get them out!! The pictures you see of residents living there happily is a lie! The owners are NOT sorry! They do not ca Review from Google Feb 2018: I have never felt so much disappointed that I've had to create time to post an online review. I am standing in front of my apartment in a cold winter night wondering how I am going to survive the long night. First, hot water was shut down and now, no electricity in my block. So many questions I can't answer. How do i microwave my dinner? How do I get some work done on my computer? Warm shower tonight and early next morning? How do i even get a good sleep in the cold? The management doesn't consider it necessary to acknowledge the situation, not to talk of apologizing to the affected (unimportant) tenants. Yet they threaten with eviction over $10 of insurance payment. If this is not cruelty, I wonder what it is.
The Marc is an awful place to live, period! Sometimes I wonder if their primary aspiration is to bring maximum discomfort to their Review from Google Jan 2018: Horrible place,and extremely unsafe to live.
there was a shooting here in january -
http://www.kbtx.com/content/news/Police-investigating-shooting-at-College-Station-apartment-complex-470321013.html Jan 2018: I need to type this honest review. This complex should not advertise towards college students because it is just down right dangerous to live here. Take my own experience for example. I lived there for one year about two years ago. It truly was and still is the worst place to live in College Station. No hot water for weeks at a time, AC cannot even blow out cold air, and the mailbox and the time I was living there was a joke. The whole thing was about to fall apart. My old roommate who still lives there is still suffering these conditions. Bed bugs and fleas, no hot water, break-ins at her building, 50 degree temps in her apartment during the winter because of the lack of insulation, mold growing in the bathrooms, and so much more. I could go on and on but do I really need to? Not to mention their new "security" that patrols the complex after Review from Google Jan 2018: I lived here for 1 year and it is getting worse every day. We always have AC problem. It goes out once in a month and it takes maintenance one month to fix it. You can exactly feel outside temperature when you are inside. It's been a month that our heater is broken and I have to go office everyday to remind them about the problem but nothing happens. The manager is so rude and unprofessional, Currently the temperature inside our apartment is 48F but she doesn't care at all. She told me there is only "one" guy who can fix the AC who is always out of town on break!!!! Review from Google Nov 2017: The Marc has the most aloof employees I've ever seen on earth. Today I went to the leasing office to pay my balance due. There's only one staff at the front desk (I won't disclose her name, but I'm having her signature). My experience with her is like squeezing a toothpaste: I squeezed a little bit, your information came out A LITTLE BIT. The conversation is as follows (I'm definitely polite and I barely piss people off in a conversation):
Me: can I pay with cash?
S: We don't accept cash. (Silence)
Me: How can I pay it?
S: You can pay with money order. (Silence)
Me: How can I do the money order?
S: Go to that store. (Silence)
Me: Where is it?
S: It's over there(finger pointing outside.Silence).
Me: Do I need to bring it back to the office?
S: Yes.
After I came back. She took out a template and had me sign the money order.
S: Do you ne Review from Google Nov 2017: I Believe that this place should be shutdown , it's over run by violence and burglaries you will not feel safe here and the maintenance extremely slow to respond to any requests. if you are a college student who values your life please do not move here you will not be able to break your lease without sub leases your apartment. The most people who lived here College Station won't even touch his apartment complex. The prices might look attractive to first time apartment owners , but the year you will spend here will put you to hell. I have lived there for 2 years and I have had random people come to my door and jiggle my door knob at night trying to get in. And we tried to move to another apartment the first year ,but they told the other apartment complex we was 2 months late on rent and we was not able to move out so we have to stay here or be Review from Google Oct 2017: I moved in late August. On the first day of move in my roommate and I submitted a work order for our washer since it does not work. It is now October and our washer is still not fixed. We are currently on our third submitted work order and have called regularly. In every conversation we are told the exact same thing- someone will be there this week. It has been seven weeks. Laundry mat trips are an unnecessary cost that we really shouldn't be paying for. Police cars are constantly here due to who knows what. don't be fooled by the room model they show you. It doesn't look like that. The apartment itself is passable. Taking legal action seems to be the next step.
The price may seem to make everything balance out, but you can definitely find something better for a decent price. Do yourself a favor and read the google reviews. They aren't lies. Sep 2017: Horrible place... their people are incompetent and they apartments are trashy. The only thing that’s half way decent is the lobby. Management sucks , leasing agents don’t know what they are doing. They control your ac/ heat, so if they want to cut that shit off they can. Please DONT MOVE HERE... BEWARE May 2017: They do not do a good job with up keep or maintenance problems. They certainly do not do a good job with after hour problems. You can never talk to a manager in person. I had signed up with a friend as a referral and never got the gift card or amount off rent I was supposed to. I spent the first 6 months living here without a mail box at all. They don't take care of packages dropped off at the office until picked up by the resident. They cared more about finishing a pool then fixing the hot water, during the winter. I could go on, but really do I need to.
Review from 5/26/17 on Google May 2017: i went there to go swimming with some college chicks Review from Google May 2017: When I toured the complex, I walked through a well lit, very clean and well maintained apartment. After that, everything went downhill. I was given two applications for lease with no differentiating factors and "signed the wrong one" and did not get the layout I was promised. Did not get the washer and dryer I was promised. Did not get the $250 signing bonus I was promised. On top of all that, I received a late fee for August even though I received an email telling me it was not due. In order to talk to a property manager, I had to wait for over an hour and a half with no one checking in on me and leasing agents talking about taco bell and complaining about tenants. When I confronted the manager, she told me that because it was the corporate office who sent that email it wasn't binding and I had to pay the fee anyways because the local office sent a different emai Apr 2017: Ive lived here 2 months and definately will not be renewing my lease. Their maintnence department is incompetent and the crime rate is rediculous on the 505 side. Also, their staff is never on the same page, Ive been promised one thing and told another on multiple occasions.
Review from 4/19/17 on Google Apr 2017: If you like regularly living without AC and hot water then this is the place for you. My air conditioner in my unit goes out about once ever other month, and most of the time that is does go out it takes more than one visit from maintenance to get it to work and stay working for another few weeks. Hot water issue isn't as common as it used to be but it used to seem like a 50/50 chance that I was going to come home and take a cold shower.
Review from 4/10/17 on Google Apr 2017: I've been here less than 6 months and I feel like everything is falling apart all around me in this apartment. First, I had a leak in my kitchen and bathroom sink that ruined both of my rugs. The maintenance guy only fixed my bathroom sink, but the kitchen sink still leaks. Not to mention that the maintenance guy made a mess while fixing my sink and did not even clean it up. Than my AC went out and I had to be stuck in the apartment while it was 80 degrees. The maintenance guy comes and gets the AC running but than my apartment went all the way down to 50 degrees when I set it on 75 than the next day the AC starts leaking a lot of water so I call for maintenance again and he comes and "fix" the leak but it is still leaking!
