Hickory Park Duplexes

Lived here for a year, and at first was super impressed with the quality for what you pay. We paid less than $ 900 for three bedrooms, two bath, and the faux wood floors and high ceilings were definitely attractive. Two of the bedrooms are quite small and then there’s a master bedroom with a bath attached. The bath had nice tile floors, and cut out shelving in the bath tub for storage. The living area is large and spacious, and we were able to fit three couches in it. Everything was pretty good, then trouble started.
The washer/​dryer connections were wonky and our floor flooded more than once. There was already water damage from previous tenants, and with more water added, the laminate on the floors started peeling up and molding. They knew of this problem early on in our lease and didn’t fix it until we moved out. They then replaced the floors and carpets, but let us stay through the entirety of our lease with them damaged and squishing when we walked. We also had a severe mold problem under the sink which we called and called and called about, but nothing was ever done. Our disposal stopped working completely and we called more than a few times in hopes to fix it.
Other than the maintenance, this is a nice spot to live. You’re on a busy road and close to food and town, and there’s trash service. I think the units look more updated than some of the other places for this price in town. A downside is that the master bedroom is literally twice as big as the other bedrooms, so one roommate will have a gracious amount of space and the others will share a bathroom and have little.

We lived here for a year. Location is good, close to the TAMU bus stop and the Wolf Pen Creek park. We really liked the high ceiling and hardwood floors in the living room and the big backyard. The owners maintain the front lawn and mow the backyard which was a big plus. You can pay extra for a W/​D.
Our only issue was with maintenance. It is hard to get in touch with the manager. She doesn’t pick up her phone or answer her emails sometimes which can be really annoying. They solved all our maintenance issues eventually but they are really slow.
