  Mara was an excellent tour guide! She was patient, allowing us to take our time at each stop and we never felt rushed though the many questions we had. In addition, the apartment complex is beautiful!

  I moved in fall of 2025 because my brother lived here his last 3 years of college. When I signed my lease the base rent that I got, was $795, my roomate and I signed within 24 hours of each other and were supposed to get a dollar amount off of our rent because of a deal they were running at the time, but when my mom and I called later we were told that we wouldn’t be getting that amount off because they had “run out of spots for the deal”. I pay almost $1000 monthly for a basic 2x2 in the un-updated side of the building because of parking fees and utilities. For the past 3 months my ac payment has been between $50-$60 despite me turning my ac and heat off completely in December, turns out they take the usage for the entire building and divide it by the residents, so if you live here you’ll end up paying extra for someone else’s ac/heat usage. The building is dirty, I came home from class to a gecko in my bathroom on the second floor, there are stains in the common areas of the building, the stairwell on the far end of the building from the parking garage smells like something’s rotting because there was standing water there. The arm to the parking garage malfunctions regularly and the doors into the parking garage stick so you can get into the building without scanning in. The exterior doors are supposed to remain locked at all times so you have to scan into the building, but the leasing office doors never get locked and nothing has been done about it. In november and December they started calling while I was in class and left voicemails saying they needed to discuss something important about my lease, when I called back they want me to renew over the phone, and I explained that I wouldn’t be renewing at all, they asked for my reasoning so they could put it in their system, however for the past 3 months they have continued to send texts and emails asking me to renew almost as if hoping they can bully me into it. This semester I have 8am classes every day and I frequently working until 8 at night, since the start of the spring 2026 semester the fire alarm has gone off 7 times, just while I’ve been in my apartment, twice last night. This is the third time this semester that the alarm has gone off after midnight. They sent an email out to all of the residents today to let us know that there was no fire despite the alarm going off for over 30 minutes at 5am and claimed that the reason it lasted so long was because it takes time for staff and the fire department to clear the building, it took almost 30 minutes for the fire department to get to the building, the only reason they came is because another resident called and asked if they were sending anyone. In the email they said that someone pulled the alarm and claimed that the issue would be dealt with accordingly and then followed that by asking residents to report any suspicious activity if it happens in the future. 3 months after I moved in they posted signs in the trash rooms changing the rules and saying that if trash was left on the floor your unit would be charged $50, the only way for them to enforce this policy would be to utilize the buildings cameras, yet it appears that they only want to do that when they can make an extra $50 dollars but they don’t want to use it to fix the issue of someone breaking the law by pulling the fire alarm despite there being no fire.

  Neha was our tour guide, and she was wonderful! She was friendly and knowledgeable about all things 12 North. We ended up going with another complex purely from a cheaper monthly rent, but Neha was the kind of person that I would like my daughters to be neighbors with.

  After three years as a resident at 12N Apartments in College Station, I’m beyond disappointed in how management handles situations involving long-term tenants. Paying $85 per month for an assigned parking space should come with a reasonable level of communication and judgment. Instead, there was no warning, no outreach, and no attempt to resolve what was a minor issue before approving the tow of my son’s vehicle from his assigned spot. That response speaks volumes about priorities. This is not simply about a towing incident (although you can see other predatory towing incidents in other reviews); it reflects a broader approach to resident relations. When someone has lived there for multiple years, paid rent consistently, and paid extra for parking, a courtesy call, email, or door notice would seem like a reasonable first step before imposing significant cost and inconvenience. There was no effort to engage constructively, no openness to discussion, and no follow-up afterward. Calls regarding the matter went unanswered. For prospective tenants, be aware that policies appear to be enforced rigidly and without discretion — even in cases involving loyal residents using their own assigned, paid spaces. If an issue arises, you should not expect proactive communication or flexibility. I expect 12N may respond publicly to this review with a reply, but a generic response carries little weight when direct outreach has gone unanswered. Ultimately, actions matter more than words, and this experience leaves the impression that resident loyalty and resident relations are not meaningfully valued.

  I moved in fall of 2025 and my experience has been nothing short of just bad. I’ll start off with the pros The staff and management have events fairly often for residents like inviting small businesses to set up shop in the courtyard and having weekly events for every season (decoration competitions and other stuff). They also give out free food pretty frequently. Some of the staff is incredibly nice and theres one maintenance guy who’s a pretty solid dude (idk his name but he’s great about getting things done and overall pretty chill). Another decent thing about this place is the price. It’s expensive, but for its location, it’s still cheaper than the surrounding apartments. Now for the cons. As plainly as I can put it, the building is gross. Theres strange stains all over the place and in my apartment from the previous tenant. When I first moved in, I was greeted with roaches. I hate bugs and I’m honestly surprised I lasted this long. The side of the fifth floor that I live on was infested with roaches for the entire fall semester. I don’t see them anymore, but recently I’ve been seeing baby spiders. I don’t even want to imagine what kinds of bugs people on the first floor have to deal with. Theres also a lot of gnats here. You can’t escape them. When my friend moved in, she faced gnats for an entire semester which was really annoying. Im also seeing a lot of gnats these days regardless of how much I clean. Also the elevators are also dirty and dark. The ambiance is strange in there but you get used to it after a while. The new flooring is bad. Before I moved in they told us about the new floor to which they seemed really proud of. I didn’t complain mostly because I dislike carpet floors more than anything. But the flooring wasn’t installed correctly. Theres cracks everywhere where the floor and wall trim meet. Theres cracks are relatively small, but that doesn’t make much of a difference as I’ve seen the biggest and smallest roaches run in and out of them. So you just kind of have to get used to it. For the most part, the appliances are decent and work fine, but they’re all scuffed up and kind of gross. All of these issues are relatively annoying but forgettable. The biggest issue for me is the staff and maintenance overall. There are a few nice people but for the most part, the staff are careless. From my experience (others as well), when you put in a maintenance request they are supposed to fix it and mark it as completed. There have been way too many times where maintenance will not come and mark the request as completed anyways which is pretty cheap and scummy. The final straw for my parents to decide it’s time for me to leave was an issue that very recently happened to my friend. A staff member accused her of having an unregistered dog and demanded she pay the pet fee. Her father was confused to why they would assume she has one, and according to whomever writes the emails, a staff member saw her “dog” run out of her apartment and attack someone. Her father asked if they could’ve prove it (any witness statements or security footage), and of course they couldn’t because it never happened. Her father sent a “strongly worded” email to finally settle the issue. This kind of treatment is just unacceptable and careless. Using any basic logic, its clear to me whoever “saw” this “attack” just stood by or walked away and decided to come back at a later time to get the room number which resulted in my friend getting wrongfully accused and almost having to pay the pet fee. I will hopefully be moving very soon and am writing this to warn anyone thinking about coming here. If you’re the type of person to not let little (or big) issues bother you, then yeah go right ahead. But if you’re like me and can’t stand issues like these, don’t come here. Also fire alarms go off all the time and at the most inconvenient times like the middle of the night. And the wifi goes out fairly often which is really annoying.
