Troubadour

I haven't lived here for super long, but I've liked it so far! The amenities (the gym and the pool) are really good and so is the location - I love living in walking distance to the law school. The biggest complaints I have are the thin walls and just noise generally. I live on the same floor as the pool so it can get kind of loud, especially at night on weekends. Usually it's not terrible (as the pool closes at 10pm but sometimes people stay longer), but when it's loud it's really loud. Also the ceilings are thin as well and I can constantly hear my upstairs neighbor - I don't know if they just stomp around or if it's a big problem with the ceilings though.

I love everything about my apartment other than the price. almost $3,000 a month is steep! Still, I am happy with my choice.

The best place to live as a law student!

Pricey but very convenient

I’ve had a great experience at Troubadour. The amenities are amazing, the staff is so friendly and helpful, and the maintenance team is quick and easy to work with. Truly couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Very good housing for international students

The apartment is nice and the building hosts a lot of events for residents. However, it is expensive compared to other apartments in the area and there have been some car break-ins and thefts in common areas (e.g. mailroom, bike room).

I liked Troubadour at first enough to resign for another year, but it is no longer worth the hassle or the rent. They had been really dog-friendly but did a complete 180 after a management change earlier in the year. They'd advertised a dog park and, when asked about it after the change in dog policies, removed it from their website and said they wouldn't be completing that project.
When I first moved here it was mostly grad students and young families, but I think they've been advertising to undergrads. It's become a bit of a frat house. The parties are very loud and endless.
The pool is really nice, and if you like partying and hate dogs, it'll be a great fit in its current form. I hope management changes tracks on their target audience, because the location is great for grad students, but the current culture is too young and too crazy for how much I'm paying to live here.

This is an excellent choice for Texas graduate students to be in a safe area close to campus. The amenities are excellent, and the property staff are attentive, helpful, and thoughtful. There is plenty of space in the parking garage.

Convenient but right next to the freeway so can be disruptive
