People are mad about charges.. fill out your move in inspection form and don’t leave your unit a mess and you won’t get charged. Parents speaking on behalf of their “child”, we’re grown adults. Move on. No bad experience here. From my experience, this place is ran right. It’s the ones complaining who cause issues here. Learn to live like an adult and there won’t be problems! -

Amazing place to live at! Everyone is welcoming and maintenance team is really good! -

Ive had a great experience living at the grove for the past 3 months! theres always parking, maintenance and staff handle business respectfully with residents. it is a relatively quiet location off campus, compared to other apartments, and offers great rates. although I have heard of many people having problems with the complex, it is only because the residents do not treat the place with respect by cleaning up after themselves. the staff is A1! -

The maintenance team is very helpful, quick and friendly as well as the team of office employees which makes my stay at the grove a lot more enjoyable and welcoming. I also love using the study rooms a good space to get some work done. -

I have been living here for three months, and i like almost 90 percents of things here, there is a gym accessible 24 hours and also a study room with coffee machine which really suits my students life. The people working in office are very friendly and i love them:)The apartment is neat enough, not excellent neat but accepatable neat. There might be some problems regarding trashing, but i think that is the residents fault that do not throw their trashes in the mentioned part which is a kind of disrespect. AND, more importantly, i do mot like change my place because of the river and hiking path there is just within one minute walk, I LOVE its nature, All and all, i highly recommend this place ;) -

We toured the property, preparing for our daughter to attend Texas State. The staff took time to answer questions and show us all the amenities. Now that she has moved in we are very happy with our choice. The Grove is a great community that when you see the units, pool and community building - you would think it cost more. As a parent, I recommend The Grove at San Marcos - safety, convivence, quality and good pricing! -

Living at the Grove has been good, I’m in a 3 bedroom apartment individual lease that costs around $ 681/month. They gave us $300 incentive when we signed early and they have a beautiful study room. They are student housing which means a bus comes and goes every twenty minutes or so on weekdays. Building 6 recently had some maintenance and they told us ahead of time so we could prepare for no running water, which was actually thoughtful. Any packages are sent to the front office and they always have handled mine with care. We have mailboxes at the front of the apartments as well. Sand volley ball court and grilling area as well as basketball court. Parking is always easy to find and we have keys to get into the gates. Overall my experience here has been nice and safe!P.S If you’re a first or second year renter who attends Texas State University, I would recommend before signing any lease taking it to the Attorney for Students — so they can read it over for you! -

So far, my experience with The Grove has been great. I havent had any issues maintenance wise nor with the staff. They are all really nice and try their best to give you the best experience when visiting the office, during Grove events, and just living here in general. The Texas State shuttles picks up and drops off last, so its only about a 10-15 minute duration time to school, which is nice. Apartment wise, you pay for what you get. My three bedroom apartment is a pretty good size for the three of us, and the living/common room area is large enough to be comfortable and cozy. My bedroom has the biggest closet, another has the biggest room, and the third has the biggest restroom. So overall, each bed room is equal in size. I feel safe living here at the grove. All of my current roommates and I are resigning again. Plus they have a salt based pool which is great for your skin! -

The apartment itself is great, not to bad in size or anything. The kitchen space could be a little bigger for sharing it with a roommate, but still not bad, compared to other apartments in San Marcos. Office staff is still great & friendly since Ive moved in, which is good. The complex giving us a spending cap on water and electricity is nice as well. Furniture could use some updating. Outdoor sitting lounge area close to each building living area would be nice for those of us who enjoy having a drink or a smoke at night. As well easier access for our visitors would be great since the phone directory deal at the gate can hold us the line sometimes or sometimes our guest have trouble finding our names. But overall The Grove is a nice place to live. -

Have lived here for 6 months so far and have had a great experience! Staff is very friendly and welcoming, the gym is my favorite amenity as there is a great amount of space to get a full workout in! There very pet friendly, so its also a plus to see all the cute dogs around the property, without actually having one myself. -
Review 11 (2020-04-22 - Rating: 4)
The apartment is a little tight and I could definitely use some more kitchen storage space, but I mainly wanted to put in a review to say some positive things about the office staff. Theyve been really great, helpful, and friendly from the start and have continued to be wonderful during the pandemic. Considering what Im usually able to afford as a struggling graduate student, I dont expect great management, so these guys have been a welcome surprise and theyre much appreciated. -
Review 12 (2020-01-24 - Rating: 5)
Have been living here for five days and so far it’s been great! I moved in on Saturday afternoon and had a few problems with the Roomate I was assigned. I talk to the office about it and by Monday they had moved me to another apartment.The office was great, did things fast and Devyn even helped me move some containers that were a little too big for me to move. The staff and manager are great! Will give an update by the end of my contract, I hope I can renew here though! -

The Grove is an awesome place to live when looking for your first apartment. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help. I loved living here all through college and was sad to leave after I graduated. The community was always clean and well kept and most importantly I always felt safe. -
Review 14 (2021-04-20 - Rating: 5)
After living at the Lodge, Timbers, and Windmill Id say the Groves whole staff is easily the most dependable. Maintenance...literally next day service most of the time, Front Office, always messages ON TIME when my packages arrive. Apart from the small kitchen storage and lack of balcony these are the ideal college apartments, definitely come check them out -
Review 15 (2015-11-21 - Rating: 4)
So I have been living at the Grove now for 3 months and the experience isnt really worth complaining about. There are quite a few dents and scuffs around the house and they are documented when you move in. (We took pictures as well just in case) The couchs are the same color and rather comfy. The dining room table was super torn up, plus we were told that three bed room apartments get a longer rectangular table. It took two months, but they did buy us the new table and replaced it. We had several issues with our dryer, dishwasher and once our hot water. However, each incident was solved within 24 hours or less of putting in a work order. It is pet friendly and there is poop in the grass. There are quite a few bugs we had silver fish and roaches, but after spraying the sills of the house no problem. I think the price is worth my experience I see it depends on which complex/room you live in. I moved in with three friends so hearing the other room doesnt bother us. You can hear whats going on in the living room and sometimes vis versa, but from room to room you can really only hear the water running or maybe music if you listen to it as loud as I do. -
Review 16 (2017-05-10 - Rating: 5)
Ive lived at the Grove for the past 2 years and have nothing but great things to say. The staff is always friendly and helpful, most of them know you by name. Maintenance always responds quickly to get issues fixed. They have added a lot of upgrades in the last year like the internet speed, basketball court, etc. They also have community events since they are one of the smaller communities in San Marcos which are always a great way to meet people. The size of the apartment is great and the rooms are probably the biggest Ive seen compared to other complexes. Its the only truely inclusive complex in San Marcos which is nice to know what exactly your bills are going to be every month. Definitely would recommend -

I really enjoyed living at the grove. Everyone that works at the front office is incredibly friendly and attentive to the needs of residence. I don’t really have complaints about this place and if I had to do it over again I would. The apartments themselves are great for the price which is very reasonable! -
Review 18 (2016-05-10 - Rating: 4)
The Grove is great! The staff is extremely friendly, patient, and talkative. In addition, there are no bad apples, the entire staff is consistently good unlike most college apartments. The only downfall of living at the Grove is the visitor parking situation, its far too complicated for anyone hosting unexpected guests or even having a classmate come over to do homework because there is no designated area and towing is ridiculously on point. -
Review 19 (2016-01-28 - Rating: 5)
The Grove has been a fantastic option here in San Marcos. Its one of the truly all utilities included options in the area. The prices are very reasonable and their employees actually care. Jiyan, the sales manager, makes everything very understandable and getting started was easy. mark, the general manager, has helped us with anything we need.Maintenance and amenities could not be better and we have never had any issues after almost a year of living there.They actually CARE about you as human being and not just a resident. -

Honestly the staff is amazing and friendly. Whenever I had a problem they took the time to listen and took care of any type of issues I had right away. The floor plans are amazing, pricing is reasonable and this place just feels like home. Im continuing to increase my lease here because I just absolutely love it that much! (: -

I have been living in The Grove Apartments going on two years and the experience has been very pleasant. The staff is always so nice and always ready to help when I need something. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, great place to live as a college student! -

I love the grove! The environment is very fun, safe, and friendly. They have amazing amenities, the staff is welcoming, maintenance is always prompt and prepared they get back to you within 24 hours, which I absolutely love. The grove has so much to offer at such a great price! -

Very beautiful complex! Thought the salt-water pool was a pretty cool feature you don’t see often. Staff is super friendly and very helpful! I’ve heard tons of bad things about many apartments but hardly any legitimate problems of the Grove. -

Such a cool place to live! Maintenance is super quick and the amenities are awesome! Prices are also pretty cheap too, which definitely helps during these tough times. So happy to call The Grove my home for another year! -
Review 25 (2017-05-07 - Rating: 5)
I had a tough situation in my apartment this past year, but the staff at The Grove was there to hear me out and to help as much as they possibly could. In the emergency situation that it was, they helped me move to a different apartment in the complex within a week in the middle of spring- which is unheard of. The staff has really made me feel like my concerns-big or small- matter, and they have proved that they will do anything in their power to try to make my living situation at The Grove feel like home. -
Review 26 (2015-08-18 - Rating: 5)
Honestly I dont understand why everyone has not given the grove 5 stars. From even looking into living at the grove the staff along with the GM Mark were all extremely helpful, From the questions about insurance all the way down to the dimensions in my room i never had to wait more than 5 minutes to receive a reply. On move in day the staff was exremely organized and it was a breeze. There wasnt one thing wrong with my apartment when I moved in, not to mention how big my room is. This place is the place to live if youre going to Texas State. The Texas State bus picks up every 9 minutes and picks up right outside of the front office. Another plus is the grove has automatic gates and theres no code. Everyone gets a gate card that cant be copied and every guest has to sign in at the front office, keeping the break-ins and parties to a minimal level. If youre looking for a place to live, this is your place!! Hope this helps your decision! -

I love it here. The staff is nice and the amenities are convenient. I especially love how much space there is to walk my dog. Only complaint is the kitchen is pretty small in our unit but I only signed a 5 month lease so i could live with it. -

Choosing The Grove as my daughter’s first college apartment was the best decision! She loves her apartment. The staff and management have been very accommodating and professional. The Grove is the perfect home away from home! -

The Grove is relatively safe and the maintenance gets done in a timely manner. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating but the living space is dated. I love the size of my room and closet. -
Review 30 (2017-05-11 - Rating: 5)
Nice civilized environment. Its gated and there is never any disturbances. They do a great job of keeping the whole complex clean. Good recreational activities like basketball court, pool, ping pong, 8-ball pool, and a 24-hr weight room. Its great for students that attend Txst because a shuttle stops right at the front for a ride to campus. Ive stayed for a year and just resigned. -

I feel this apartment complex surpasses most other complex’s. The contract is clear without scams or hidden fees. The rooms and buildings are nice. The service is good and reliable, amenities are beyond awesome, and honestly think the location is perfect! I have yet to be disappointed with the staff and community, and I highly doubt the possibility. -

Review 39 (2017-02-20 - Rating: 4)
I like it here. I dont have much of a problem except the kitchen area. I actually make my meals from scratch and thought this place had a reasonable counter space when I signed. I have little to no room to cut my food or make coffee. They just added a new dog park and one staff member (female) knows and welcomes my dogs by their names and that is the only reason why I add an extra star. -
