    Daughter's ruined carpet at move-in. Well documented. No response for a year. And they billed us for it at move-out.

    Very unprofessionally run apartment complex, which proved quite dangerous when my daughter lived there. During her year at The Overlook, my daughter was frequently harrassed by a male downstairs neighbor. He leered at her every morning when she left home, left rude notes on her door, and despite living downstairs, stood on th elanding of her 2nd story unit to smoke his daily cigarettes. We asked for help from the office many times and got nothing but victim blaming until he finally confronted her in a way that was physically threatening. Another issue she had was with two young men who verbally harrassed her, then chased her the stairs and cornered her against a wall. Had her dog not yipped and snapped at them, God knows what would have happened. At that time, there were no outdoor lights working near her unit and no security patrols or anything--not sure if that has changed. Finally, over a year after she moved out, we are still getting sporadic, occassional bills from damage that was well-documented as being present when she moved in. I provided photographic evidence of the damage to the office in person, and later via email, and have since provided it multiple times via email. They have never, ever responded, but just keep trying to bill me for a room full of new carpet, when the carpet that was there at move in looked like a major crime scene. My impression is that the day to day running of the community is done by poorly trained, inexperienced students who do not receive the level of coaching and supervision required by true professionals to provide the level of service renters should be able to expect. And the few times I was able to make contact with anyone in management, the interactions were not as professional or helpful as I'd have expected. There are better places for you or your students to live in Nac. Give this one a hard pass.

    The pool is not bad but they have bushes close by and the leaves blow in the pool and make it appear dirty when it's clean .

    Many things have changed since the last review. I, personally, have not had to deal with any of the…read moreissues the last reviewer stated (outside of some neighborly disputes, but that happens even in the nicest of gated communities.) The Californian (and the rest of the Three Rivers apartments, really) seem to be some of the best -actual- apartments in Nacogdoches. (The Grove and Lumberjack Lofts are honestly just dorms anyway.) Anyway, once upon a time, my girlfriend and I were moving out of our old (terribly managed) apartments. We came to the Californian, and while our initial plan to get one of the bungalows fell through, the management went out of their way to help us get a place of our own (a two-bedroom town home with washer and dryer included) that matched our needs and price range, almost two years later and we're still very happy with where we are. The management has always been friendly and helpful, and the maintenance team have some of the fastest response times I've seen. It's a great place to be, and being walking distance to campus and having Pecan Park as a backyard ain't bad either.

    My boyfriend and I moved into the Californian about two years ago after living in a HORRIBLE…read moreapartment complex on the other side of town. I couldn't believe the difference between the two. The management at the Californian has always been helpful and courteous. They worked with me and my boyfriend to find us something within our budget that had enough space, and here two years later we couldn't be happier. Anytime we've had a problem, the maintenance people have fixed it right away, and we never have to call them twice. Not only is the complex well-maintained and reasonably priced, they are literally right across the road from SFA. You won't find a more convenient location! It's an 8-minute bike ride to get to the other side of campus, which is just awesome. Considering that commuter parking at SFA is awful and not worth the money, it's great to live right next to campus.

    Can't wait to live here in the fall!! The amenities are awesome and I LOVE the clubhouse vibes…read more Also the apartments overall are just nice!!! I live in the Overlooks Apartments and nothing against them but Legends is the way to go!!!

    Genuinely horrible experience. Pros: The staff is nice, all…read morebills are included, and it comes with bare minimum furnishings (table, bar stools, couch, coffee table, bed, & desk). They host events several times a month. That's about it. Cons: 90% of the time the staff has no idea what they're talking about or will give out completely wrong answers. Dishwasher broke, I contacted management, they would come in, claim it was fixed, I run it and water still leaked all over my kitchen floor. Breakers popped multiple times when nothing but my fridge and oven were running to the point that the outlet melted and had to be replaced. Provided wifi sucks. It's slow, went out multiple times so I had to use data, and took several days to fix (mostly the provider's fault but still). Here's the real con though: They asked if I was going to renew my 1-year lease a MONTH after I moved in, and constantly pressured me to sign renewal forms for Fall 2026 in October 2025! I finally gave in and said yes & signed the E-forms. Their system was malfunctioning at the time, but they said they would fix it and renew my lease. In spring 2026 (6+ months later) I found out by calling Legends MYSELF asking about moving to a 1bed that my lease did NOT, in fact, get renewed and that they were all booked out for the next year & could not fit me. Cue scrambling to find a place to stay for the next year right when most apartments were filling up. Near the end of my lease, as I returned to clean up the apartment for move out, ALL of the doors on the first floor in bldg 1 are covered in mold, the hallways are filled with dirt and cobwebs, and its all together quite disgusting. Terrible maintenance, do not go here.
