Started my life over in San Antonio. I found this place online looking around. They were actually the first place i wanted to go see but ended up being my 3rd stop. The grounds look better than the photos. Dealing with all those leaves must be a pain but if you want the trees you gotta deal with the leaves. I am excited for the pool to open up. I like the gym. It’s a good personal size but it’s spacious. I’ve taken a few random strolls around the property. I also like the area around it. It’s right up the road from Heb. You’re give or take 5-10 minutes from park north mall. For readers there is a library right next door practically. I am enjoying my apartment a lot. It’s nice and very spacious. It has little peices of luxury added around it that i appreciate. Mainly the bowl sink and the indented shelves. The office staff made things very easy for me. I pretty much was sold day one of viewing my apartment. They’ve been Very consistent and prompt on replying to any concerns i have had. I understand they can’t grant all my requests. The apartment is my current home. Ill probably stick around until i move to another city or find somewhere with a bat cave included.

We have LOVED living at The Niche. Not only is it a beautiful property (wait till you see the trees bloom!) but there is such a sense of community. Didi and Jenn are quick to respond to any need, and they go above and beyond by planning community events for tenants. Weve been especially impressed by their understanding and compassion throughout the uncertainty of COVID. The maintenance team is always on top of requests and happy to talk through any issues. The grounds are beautifully maintained and weve always felt safe living here. Weve lived in several apartments since moving to San Antonio and this is by far the best. Cant recommend it highly enough! :)

This is one of the nicest apartments Ive ever moved into. Abigail was incredible through the moving process, the complex manager was also on site when moving in and was very helpful. The second Abigail showed us the apartment I was sold this was going to be my roommate and my new home. The customer service all the way around was perfect. The location is perfect to my needs. 100% satisfied with this living choice. If there was anything that needed fixing they were a call away and fast responding.

Just signed a lease, for a one bedroom it’s very nice. Stainless steel appliances fresh paint very nice and up-kept property Abigail and Marlee have both been very helpful. Was needing to move very soon on top of losing my brother the beginning of the year. So has been crazy year for me. Property has scenery looks around the property. Decent size complex. Wish they had more covered parking. Gym, pool, valet trash are a few amenities. Id suggest you pay for a reserved parking spot or else you’ll be fighting for a parking spot with guest visitors if you decide to live here. It’s very close to the highway and around a lot.

The Niche is not only a very clean and cozy place to live, but the staff is more than willing to bend over backwards to assist you. My water heater was fixed in less than 12 hours, Jenn - a leasing agent at the main office - has helped me with my packages and maintenance requests in less time than it takes to blink. The grounds are well-kept and there are plenty of well-maintained amenities. I never have to worry about my issues going unresolved. As a young female who lives alone, I feel safe at all times and I have never felt threatened. For an extremely affordable price and a luxurious apartment, I plan on calling The Niche Apartments my home for a long time.

Upon arrival I was stunned to see how beautiful these apartments were, I walk into the office and was greeted by the manager named Abigail she had such a welcoming smile and a great personality. She helped me out with all of my concerns and answered all of my questions professionally. She gave us a tour and showed us around and I must say that this woman was on top of it ! Definitely referring friends and family to come here if this is the type of management thats here then I know this complex is handled greatly!!

My family & I just moved in a month ago, and we can already confirm that The Niche is a wonderful apartment complex to live in! DeDe and Giselle are great people! They worked with us on getting a place to live quickly, and were very courteous, respectful and kind throughout the whole process. We have a 3 bedroom 2 bath and couldnt be happier. If you are looking for luxurious living but not overly pricey I would recommend coming to the Niche. Theyre not like other places, which is the best thing about living here. They go above and beyond, the maintenance is on point, they have a pool, gym, dog park & fire pit to enjoy. They are a small community of elderly, college and military & everyone is so kind. I feel very safe here. Day or night. My family and I plan on staying 2 or more years if we are able too. Thank you for making this experience a great one so far!!! :) - Hollie, Ash and Tracy.

Moved into newly renovated apartment this month and I absolutely love it. Beautiful quite neighborhood, gated and well-maintained apartment complex. The Niche has a new property manager and assistant as of Nov 2017. The two ladies are absolutely phenomenal, easy to work with, very approachable. Likewise, the maintenance personnel are responsive, readily available to assist and repair as needed. Look forward to living here upcoming year. I highly recommend this place, disregard old comments. New manager, new beginning.

We have lived at the Niche apartments for about a year and a half and I could not be happier living here. To begin with it does not feel like your usual apartment living. The grounds feel like an oasis or resort and my family and I love all of the amenities especially the pool area which includes a fire pit and horseshoe game. The staff is super friendly and most importantly caring and any problems Ive had with the apartment (which have been minimal) have been handled in a timely manner (usually within 24 hours). These apartments are close to schools, a library, trails, and easy access to 410 which also makes them super convenient. Ive lived at 3 different apartment complexes in SA and nothing comes close to The Niche. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to live.

Overview: Updated apartments at a reasonable rate especially for the area. There are a lot of dogs in the complex but people have been getting better about picking up with attention from the Staff. Definitely a military-friendly community. The Management also hosts various events for the residents.Customer Service: Giselle and Didi are both amazing ladies who go out of their way to help out residents.Maintenance: the maintenance guys are amazing. All work orders Ive placed are fixed promptly and no mess (or as little as possibly) is left behind.

I have really loved living here the last few months and am about to renew my lease. Jennifer (the officer manager) is FANTASTIC! Anytime my roommate or I have had an issue, she jumps into action immediately. Even if its her off day. The resident events are great (especially Wine Down Wednesday). I even love my neighbors.

Review 12 (2020-01-15 - Rating: 5)
We had such a great experience here at The Niche. Unfortunately, we cannot renew our lease but if we could, I would be staying here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Didi and Jen are so sweet and just make everything so easy. The maintenance staff, Jose and Jacob are friendly and do a great job every time. The community is so quiet, we’ve never had any issues with neighbors and the location is perfect.

I am so happy I found the Niche Apartments. The apartments are tucked away in a nice area and the staff are so friendly and welcoming; especially Giselle. From the moment I called to inquire about the apartments she was extremely helpful and took time to explain and answer any questions I had. She made the entire experience seamless and even assisted with getting maintenance to help fix minor issues with the apartment. Maintenance is also wonderful and responds quickly and are friendly and will also take the time to explain issues. I also appreciate the quiet atmosphere. I am very glad I found the Niche.

This is a great place to live. I sincerely recommend living here.1.Application process was straight forward and easy. Giselle was the person who moved me in and she was awesome. Very friendly and informative.2.The community is really clean and quiet. I havent lived in an apartment for YEARS but Im glad I chose this place. The community is quiet and people have been friendly.3.Maintenance was extremely quick the maintenance requests I put in. When I moved in, there were a few issues with my apartment, nothing major though. They were quick to sort everything out.4.The amenities are awesome. The pool area is very nice. Excellent place to relax or have a good time. There is a bbq grill, tic tac toe, and horse shoes in the area. The lights hung up make it an awesome place to hang at night. The gym is decked out as well.

I am in love with my new home. The apartments feel like I am on vacation and living in a peaceful and beautiful resort. I have to brag about our awesome maintenance team who provides excellent customer service. They are quick to respond to my requests and their work is best-in-class. Jose and Jacob make me feel at home and supported.

The niche offers beautiful and spacious units and in a very nice area. The staff are incredibly helpful and work orders are usually done within the same day. Me and my wife absolutely enjoyed living here and would definitely rent here again. We had a good relationship with the staff and would recommend these apartments to anyone.

Review 17 (2020-07-31 - Rating: 5)
Ive lived here for two years now. It was my first apartment experience and it was incredible. The staff was so friendly and nice. The maintenance staff was quick and professional. The best place about these apartments is the peace and tranquility of the area. My neighbors were so quiet. The entire complex was completely safe and beautiful. This is an ideal place to live in.

Review 18 (2012-08-09 - Rating: 5)
Ive lived here since july 2011, and overall this is a great place to live. The main problem is the prices are a bit much for the size of apartment and amenities you get, like right now Im paying 950 plus 75 for the small 2/2(977sqft) and a single car garage, but the price is going up to 1100 when the lease is up, so Im moving out. The management is courteous, the manager lives here, which explains why she swims in the pool (duh). The main maintenance guy, Carlos, is really nice and good about getting your stuff fixed quickly, especially if you ask him yourself, instead of relying on Celine to relay the message. The area is really safe, I walk my dog around the block every evening, a lot of people walk and run the same route. The area is quiet except for the occasional ambulance (retirement home down the road).

5 stars for the 2018 Management team!!! (24 hour Emergency # needs work though)I lived here in 2009 so when I was returning last year for 18 months of training this is the first place I went! Sadly, the management in April 2017 was less than responsive (in multiple ways) so I rented elsewhere. When it came time for me to renew my lease I checked back to the Niche to find out if the new management was any better. I am happy I did because DeDe, Giselle, Jose’ and the maintenance crew are amazing!!!Responsive to my needs (moving, military training schedule, absolute need for parking near my rental) they went above and beyond to help. This is not to say they could provide all my wishes right when I wanted them or even at the time I moved in, but they worked with me and when able they ensured that my needs were met. Specifically, Giselle was able to find close covered parking AND looked into upcoming availability so that I will be able to rent the spot nearest my apartment when the current owner moves out. DeDe also ensured that I got a washer and dryer and immediately had maintenance address concerns noted in my move in inspection worksheet after I turned it in.Looking at the history and turmoil of the multiple management turnovers in the recent past, it is easy to appreciate why some items in my apartment where sub-par, i.e. the laminate floor issues, bifold closet to washer “jerry-rigged” with a screw instead of a proper tract... However, maintenance has always been responsive to fixing and making right. Since I moved here in March, I had a leaking refrigerator and hot water tank. These are not brand new apartments, even if they were they would have issues, but is nice to see responsive action once maintenance personnel are made aware. They just need to get the 24 hr Emergency line to actually work.I am happy to be home!

I have lived here for 3 years and have no complaints! Its a smaller complex compared to others in the city with a quite community. The management is very friendly and approachable and the maintenance guys are great! The few maintenance issues I had were fixed either same day or within 48hrs depending on the problem.The location is great if youre looking for a short commute to Ft. Sam Houston or BAMC (8-12min depending on traffic). I have recommend this location to friends in the past and I will continue to do so!

Great apartments, dog park and pool. Propane BBQ pits, fountains, dog poop area with bags and trash can. Well maintained.

I have lived here at the Niche for 3 years. The front desk staff Jenn and Didi are amazing and always helpful. Jacob and the maintenance team quickly resolve any work orders placed, often within 24 hours. The complex is quiet, military friendly and close to base and other major attractions.

The Niche community is extremely welcoming. The staff has been excellent and hospitable. You should definitely consider joining this community. It is also pet-friendly and has plenty of space for furry friends.

Review 24 (2019-11-06 - Rating: 5)
I’ve lived here with my growing family for about 3 years now. Lived in a big 2 now in a 3. These homes do not compare to others. I have white granite throughout my home, stainless steel finishes and such a charming layout, super spacious. I feel safe walking around with my babies, seems like there are A lot of military living here. My Maintnance request get done immediately and my concerns are always ltaken care of quickly by the staff and the manager here Didi, wow, she goes out of her way to making our living experience here at the niche beyond regular apartment living. We just did trick or treat here and the residents are super nice and Didi dressed as the Hocus Pocus witch and gave out candy pizza and refreshments. I can go on and on.... 5 stars all the way, grounds - well you need to walk through to see how gorgeous everything is (we have light up fountains) I haven’t moved anywhere else, which I have looked for something comparable, they are all expensive and with cheap finishes or expensive rental homes with no finishes ! This is our last lease here before we buy a house but, if we don’t find something, we are definitely renewing !

This place has been accomadating for me in every way. I have been here one month and the move in process to bill payment process has been easy as 1,2,3. The staff are phenomenal with work orders that were wanted/needed being filled same day sometimes within the hour. Thanks to THE Joses out there. Yall are the real MVP! I was reading the comments and seeing complaints of the gate being open...this is no longer an issue. Also for the people stating theyre not friendly to military. Majority of the residents here are military to include myself. I have had nothing but great encounters with the staff from property manager to maintenance. The only thing Im slightly disappointed about is that theres not enough garages and parking. So there it is, my one month review. Updates to come month to month...Thank you.

Very military friendly, very kind staff, and nice neighbors as well. My single bedroom apartment was very comfortable and clean. The front office people were always friendly and quick to answer any questions I had. Location is very convenient too.

Its small community and quiet. Ive been here almost a year since I got my orders to FSH. They are military friendly and staffs are awesome. They know our orders can be shortened or extended. Theres Salado lake trail only 5 minutes away. I have a one bedroom and its very spacious.

Just move-in to the niche aparments. They are in a great location close to loop 410 and only a few miles away from down town San Antonio. Currently under new management. The assistant manager went out her way to make sure our renting experience was great. Is gated, clean and quiet community. The gate has broken a few times I have been here but the new management is working, improveming and fixing the gate. For parents with children there is a great elementary school near by. even though I have been here a week I love the aparment and community. Only 5 miles away from Fort Sam Houston. There is no perfect community and this one is not an exception but is a great place to call home. Highly recommend this community.

After months of trying to find the perfect apartment fit, we found The Niche and Jennifer, the manager. The apartments are nice. The grounds are a neat little hideaway in a big city. We are excited to be moving in. Jennifer has been great to work with.

My husband and I have lived in the Niche Apartment for six ( get it SIX) years. Why so long? Easy answer because when we sold our home, we wanted to live in comfort at a respectful and pleasant place. That is what we found here. A home, an apartment, should always be one of love, cleanliness, peace and respect. All of these qualities exist in abundance here mainly because of our Office Manager, Dede and her Assistant, Giselle. Both of these managers give their total attention to our questions and needs. Requests are immediately recorded and attended to. Thank youmladies for all you do to keep our homeed.so clean 6oh and comfortable. Because of Ded and Giselle we hope to be here for a long time. You are the best . thanks

Wow! Great apartments. Beautiful court yards and fountains. The Niche is unique and the manager Jenn is a cut above a you will find. She cares about her people and provides outstanding service and activities. Every other manager in San Antonio should take lessons from Jenn!

First off, the apartments are very nice and the maintenance staff are absolute champions. However, parking situation is a nightmare, the community amenities, though well maintained, are lack luster (gym is very limited, pool area is in shaded area, etc.). And, lastly, there is a bit of a roach problem. Even on the 3rd floor.

Location, location, location--convenient to I 410, Hwy 281, and Ft Sam Houston. Theres an HEB and Walmart within a few miles. North Star Mall is less than 10 minutes away. Everyone on staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. There is a swimming pool and fitness center. The grounds are very well maintained and the atmosphere is welcoming. If youre looking for a nice place to call home, check out The Niche!

Since changing hands to Presidium I was a bit concerned, but the manager, Jennifer, is really on the ball. Apartments and landscaping well-maintained. I lived here for 2 years, only left because of a new job.Management is flexible and understanding, and tries to foster involvement in community through events, newsletters, etc.

Gisele and DeeDee were the best apartment managers and they were the only reasons why my husband would stay. He is active military and they took care of any problems that arose promptly. He has mentioned that because of their outstanding services he would refer anyone to stay at the Niche apartments.

I have been living in various apartment from San Antonio to the east coast and when I say they have the greatest staff, it is not an exaggeration. If I have ever have an issue with anything in the apartment, maintenance is on top of it. They have even helped me out when it was outside their responsibilities. Management is very resident oriented, they are constantly coming up with ideas to make this a wonderful place to call home. I tell my fellow soldiers about some of the random “Resident appreciation” and they cannot believe it. It’s the little things that speak volumes. I came home from a 13 hour day to find the maintenance guys at the gate handing out s’mores and popcorn…seriously s’mores and popcorn, just as a “have a nice day”. As long as I live in San Antonio, this will be my home. Oh, and they are very military friendly, so if you are on PCS orders to Fort Sam, it is 5 mins down the road. There is no reason to drive all around looking for a clean, safe, family and pet friendly place to live, just come here.

I have lived here for about 2 years in the making and when we first moved in i was very excited untill the management here kept on changing staffs on us 3 times while beginning here and being put in a unit that was not made ready for us we took it thinking they would fix everything while the second person in management came in after I moved out my first unit she told us they she could not do anything for us cause it was too much flooring to change well after that crazyness happened we finailly got Mrs.DeDe in office and before I new it she had to handle all our emotions we carried with us because of the prior stuff thats was a temp crew here but shes a tough lady and help us get our flooring done properly and she did anything in her power to help us for the remaing time here and we appreciate her for the help tremendously , thank you hope things stay positive as of right now
