Deacon's Station

I had a great experience at Deacon Station. My apartment is for 4 people (with own bathrooms), but they only placed me with one other student in the same graduate program as me! We enjoy the spacious living quarters. Maintenance is quick to fix our requests, and we love the gym! It comes furnished which is the main reason we both decided to live here.

Deacon's Station is a nice place to live...if you are willing to pay the price. Had I known of cheaper options just a mile further from campus, I would have taken them for sure. On the bright side, the apartments or almost new and are fairly well maintained. You have an individual lease so you are not responsible for your roommates. They also have two wonderful bus drivers who will be your friend and even hangout with you outside of hours. These bus drivers seriously make Deacon's Station a great place to live.

Looks great from the outside. Close to campus, shuttle that takes residents to and from campus, advertised as having all utilities paid for in the monthly rent. HOWEVER, once you move in, the management company makes it their mission to make your life more complicated. Our apartment has been charged overages every single month, even when two of the roommates were NOT living there because they were on internships. The maintenance (who are awesome people honestly) found that the hot water heater was nearly boiling the water for the entire month of December, a problem that we could not have addressed as we were gone, and no consideration was taken in our utilities overages. Personally, I was fined for a parcel of trash found outside of a trash can that had my name on it DURING A HURRICANE WARNING (maybe, on the off chance, the wind blew it out of the trash? Just a thought). I have had my car windshield broken, found the driver door to my car ajar with a key inserted into the ignition as if someone was trying to steal my vehicle, and personal items such as my iPod stolen from the vehicle. My vehicle is not the exception, actually the standard, for Deacons' Station as my roommates car and many other people that I know have had their vehicle broken into and items stolen. Overall not satisfactory for the amount paid to live in this apartment complex.

Apartment complex is majority grad students with many MSA students. Good location to campus with shuttle that goes to campus regularly. For the price, not a great value.

Great environment for friendship, a little overpriced. Could find some better options, but this is a popular place for graduate students

Fairly good. The best part is that a lot of MSA live here.

This apartment complex is only convenient for Wake Forest students. There have been numerous car break ins. Not a great value for what you pay.

Deacon's Station pairs you with random roommates. There's no system in place to deal with any issues and people can simply be added at their leisure. All utilities are not included as they advertise and you can expect regular utility overages based on the total complex average. I would not recommend this to prospective students.

Very close to campus. Shuttle service is excellent.
