The Barracks Townhomes

The barracks is a great place to live during your time at Texas A&M. The staff is always nice and helpful. The only thing I would say to watch out for is maintenance. Sometimes they mark completed without showing up. You just have to put in a new request. Overall the houses are nice and spacious, great neighborhood feeling, dog parks and sidewalks, parks, etc. would recommend! Edit: Peyton with The Arena Group was super helpful. She let maintenance know about my prior issues with work orders being marked as completed. I understand accidents happen and things get overlooked—there’s hundreds of students at the Barracks to take care of. Overall they are super friendly and will always make sure your problems are solved swiftly, and always gracefully correct any mistakes.

I’ve lived at the barracks for 3 years, and I’ve really loved it. The neighborhood itself has a party reputation, but I’ve never really had any issues with neighbors in that way. I’ve lived in an all-girl 4 person townhome and it’s never felt cramped or awkward. There’s plenty of space for you and all your roomies. The only issues I’ve had are with maintenance and charges. For maintenance if you don’t really keep up with your request you might never see them or get a follow up. That said if you’re persistent they would come and fix whatever the issue was. And extra charges on my account would show up without any explanation. I took my billing off auto-pay because charges other than rent and utilities would be added without any notification, and very little explanation. I understand extra charges can happened, but I think it’s important to know when, what, and why I’m paying for something. There needs to be more clear communication when it comes to payments.
