  We have been quite disappointed in this community. Specifically, the lack of communication when we have needed something, from maintenance, to billing, etc. Each time we visited our daughter, we were quite sad to see the condition of the building. It was dirty and several times the security doors and elevators were not working either. We moved her in there thinking it was a nice, safe place and feel like it did not live up to what they sold us on. We are still trying to get someone to contact us regarding charges that should not have been assessed after move out with no luck on return correspondence. I cannot even get through to the management group.

  I’ve lived here for 2 years now and noticed the apartment going downhill recently. First the price is super hard to justify when the Rev just doesn’t stand out anymore against all the new apartments. Second cleanness has gone down, I noticed the hallways smell so bad sometimes I have to literally hold my nose as I walk through to get to my room. As well as the coffee station it’s always sticky and there’s usually no cups and the syrups just look so gross and messy. Third PACKAGES, I didn’t have this issue last year but now my packages will say they got delivered but the Rev won’t put them into the locker rooms until almost a week later, and sometimes they just have our packages sitting outside where everyone can just take it if they please, people have to sort through all the packages they have outside to find their name and I just find that super disappointing considering this is advertised as a “luxury” apartment. Fourth, the coffee machine, printer and kombucha they advertise so much, these all used to be free but now they charge for coffee and the printer and the kombucha machine never works, I feel this is unfair when this is literally something they advertise, then they just raise the rent??? As well as the market, it is NEVER stocked I don’t remember the last time you could go in there and actually buy snacks because it’s always empty. Also the wifi, the wifi never works and it’s so slow. I honestly don’t know what happened to the Rev but I would no longer consider it one of the best apartments on Northgate unfortunately, and the only reason the Rev has people living here is because of the location.

  I’ve lived at Rev Northgate since my freshman year, and now I’m an incoming junior, so I’ve had plenty of time to see what it’s really like living here. Honestly, I feel like Rev has gone downhill over the past couple of years. The biggest issue is that it simply isn’t worth the price anymore. Every year the rent becomes harder to justify, especially when there are so many newer, more modern apartments around Northgate that offer nicer amenities, cleaner facilities, and a much better overall experience for around the same price. To make things worse, they charge a “premium floor” fee for living on certain floors… except it feels like almost every floor is considered a premium floor. You’re paying extra for something that doesn’t actually come with any noticeable benefits. Cleanliness has gotten noticeably worse. There have been multiple times where throw up sat in the hallways for weeks before anyone cleaned it up. The hallways and common areas often look dirty, and it feels like management waits until residents complain enough before taking care of things. The pool is another disappointment. It always seemed dirty whenever I wanted to use it, which is frustrating considering it’s advertised as one of the main amenities. The elevators are a constant headache. They’re frequently out of service, painfully slow, or so packed that you’re waiting forever just to get upstairs. During move-in, move-out, football weekends, or busy nights, you’re almost guaranteed to spend way too much time waiting. There’s a little market downstairs, which is convenient if you’re desperate, but the prices are honestly ridiculous. Expect to pay way more than you would for the exact same snacks or drinks at a grocery store or convenience store. Guest parking is practically nonexistent, which makes having friends or family visit way more stressful than it should be. For the amount residents pay, there should absolutely be a better guest parking system. Maintenance has honestly been one of the worst parts of living here. One maintenance employee was incredibly rude when dealing with an issue with my air conditioning. He tried to tell my dad something that wasn’t true about the situation, refused to give his name when asked, and then hung up on my dad. I’m almost certain it was the same employee who had previously come into my apartment because I recognized his voice. During that visit, he made condescending comments toward me and acted like I didn’t know what I was talking about instead of actually listening to the issue. It was completely unprofessional. The residents can also make living here frustrating. Obviously not everyone is like this, but I’ve noticed a lot of people here are rude and inconsiderate. People leave trash in the hallways, slam doors late at night, blast music, yell in the halls, and don’t seem to care that they’re sharing a building with hundreds of other students. One thing I’ve noticed over the past couple of years is how common theft has become as welcome mat are being stolen from outside their door. It sounds minor, but it says a lot when residents can’t even leave a doormat outside their apartment without worrying it’ll disappear. The walls are unbelievably thin. You can hear conversations, music, alarms, people arguing, doors slamming, and pretty much everything your neighbors are doing. Privacy is almost nonexistent. The only thing Rev really has going for it is the location. Being able to walk to campus and Northgate is incredibly convenient, and that’s honestly why I stayed as long as I did. But if you’re looking at apartments for next year, I would seriously recommend touring the newer places around Northgate first. After living here since my freshman year, I can honestly say If I could I wouldn’t choose to live here again. It’s become overpriced, poorly maintained, and nowhere near the value it used to be.

  My daughter and I attended Texas A&M’s New Student Conference today, and unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience with the marketing team representing Rev Northgate. There were two apartment communities marketing to incoming students. I won’t name the other community because my review is about our experience with Rev Northgate. Throughout the event, I found the representatives from the Rev to be unnecessarily aggressive in their approach and, in my opinion, unprofessional in the way they interacted with both prospective students and the neighboring apartment representatives. One moment that stood out was when representatives from the other community accidentally knocked over a cooler of complimentary water they had brought for students and families. From where I was standing, it appeared that the representatives from the Rev Northgate laughed, made ugly facial expressions, and made comments that I felt were inappropriate given the situation. It felt like bullying which should be ridiculous at their age. I also personally overheard representatives from the Rev making negative comments about the competing community while speaking with prospective residents. As someone unfamiliar with either property, I found it disappointing to hear one business focus on criticizing another instead of highlighting its own strengths. During the event, I also observed the Rev Northgate representatives interrupting conversations at the neighboring table and attempting to redirect prospective students to their own booth. The students and families involved appeared uncomfortable to me. I have worked in business and hospitality for many years, and professionalism and respectful customer interactions are incredibly important. Based on what I observed today, the conduct of The Rev’s representatives did not reflect the level of professionalism I would expect from a company trying to earn new residents. I would be embarrassed if I ever found my staff to be conducting themselves in this manner. Because of this experience, my daughter and I have decided not to consider Rev Northgate. We had a much more positive interaction with the other apartment community, and left with a far better impression of their staff and level of professionalism. They spoke kindly of their competitors while informing of us of their ongoing specials and rates. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and provides additional training on professional, respectful interactions with prospective residents and fellow businesses. First impressions matter, and unfortunately today’s experience left us with no interest in leasing at the Rev Northgate.
