Granite Student Living

I enjoy my experiences here at Granite. I feel safe and well-​taken care of. They do, however, have high rates for things like lock-​outs and replacement keys. Safety is more important to me though and I love that our particular complex is kitty friendly! :D (So Fluffie thanks you guys too!)

My experience with Granite has been a good one so far. The maintenance team is always very attentive and quick. The website and app are great as well.

Granite during the time of living was decent.
HIDDEN COSTS!
Beware of hidden costs for different things. When first sign your contract be prepared to pay for a safety deposit AND TWO months of rent or ONE FULL MONTH.
SUBLETTING:
This is just as bad as signing the contract. The sublet or you is expected to pay ONE MONTH RENT for just giving over the contract! Secondly, Granite does not give you tips on what you should look at in your contract. Such as the TWO MONTHS RENT or ONE FULL MONTH of rent you paid at the beginning of the year. By then you have probably forgotten where to look on your 1 of four websites you use to pay to see history back from LAST YEAR. So you could potentially be paying three months rent plus a safety deposit…
Also, they are pushy to get things done with the signing of the contract. When asking for help before the signing of the contract when payments and other prices or deposits are still negotiable. After signing the sublet contract they are friendly and respond quickly and tell you right away that Granite IS NOT RESPONSIBLE.
SERVICE FEES:
If your sublet (or you) makes the mistake to put in a request to replace a light bulb ($ 30) OR if you bath tub drain is clogged ($ 50). beware of the CHARGES! Because if you or your sublet puts in those requests in YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THEM.
Unless you have a sublet who is willing to understand and pay for these things OUTSIDE OF THE CONTRACT and out of common courtesy– YOU WILL BE PAYING THIS!
Positives:
While living there the space was clean and reliable. The kitchen sink was leaky and a service request was sent in the first week living which never got fixed but other than that everything was in great shape. The employees were respectful when showing the apartment to future renters. When questions needed to be answered replies were within a 24 period. All in all while living under Granite’s roof it was nice.
OVERALL:
I would not go to Granite again based on my experience. I am extremely disappointed in the help given when needed. This is not me asking for money– just looking out for those who might be considering a how charges are made for specific situations.

Granite has a lot to offer its residents! whether you want an apartment on or near campus, off campus or even downtown Lafayette, granite has what you’re looking for! The staff are always so helpful and the maintenance has always been very punctual and helpful when needed. What’s not to love?

I was nervous at first to use Granite having heard stories– but so far Granite has exceeded our expectations and has been super helpful! They’ve fixed anything that was wrong in our apartment in a timely fashion and even replaced all of our floors while we were gone over break!

Apartment is very well maintained and clean. Sometimes the staff can be a little clueless since they have so many apartment buildings to manage so you have to be patient with them. All the staff si trying their best to help you even though it can be annoying at times when they don’t know the answer to your question.

I love living at Granite! I have been impressed with not only the property I live in but also the amazing customer service and maintenance. Anytime that I have had an issue it has been fixed very quickly with excellent friendly service.

I love my experience living at grant street station
Thank you so much for helping us during the summer construction time.
Especially Jason and Christian, you guys are awesome! My roommates and I would like to say thank you!

Every time I have to go to the leasing office, everyone is always so nice and respectful. Which is refreshing because other leasing agents have been mean.

very very very bad. I hope this company close quickly.
