The Depot Apartments

I love the Depot! It’s a 3 minute drive from school and a 5 minute walk from Sundance square. It’s a great space for one and a very nice community.

I share my apartment with another Texas A&M Law student, and it's about a 3-5 minute drive to campus. The apartment has a lot of room in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The only problems are that the gym is very tiny, the towing is pretty bad if you don't sign in, and it is near a highway and two railroad tracks. If you okay with a little highway and train noise, then it's a great apartment.

The price + location of this apartment is really hard to beat. While it is not the newest or shiniest apartment complex in the area, it is certainly not run down and is a very good apartment if you're looking for value and convenience to downtown Fort Worth entertainment/jobs/shopping/school etc. We are students, and we really like living here. We are in a non-renovated unit, and we still love it. So if you are looking for a bit more bougieness, probably opt for the renovated units they have here! There is always plenty of parking, and we feel pretty safe despite being so close to downtown! The police station is very close by, so that helps too!

Very close to school. Train and upstairs neighbor can be loud at times. Maintenance is good. Like the garage. Pretty safe. Three packages stolen in three years. Plenty of room.

The apartment is close enough to the law school that walking, biking or driving are all viable options for transportation. We were lucky enough to move into a first floor unit with an attached garage that has allowed us to own a kayak, smoker/grill, and shielded us from hail and other weather. The place looks like it could use an update, but for the price you can’t beat it. The pool is simple and the gym is comparable to a hotel exercise room with a couple cable machines, a few free weights and a few treadmills. The dog park area is nice, but simple. The area feels safe and we have never had anything stolen despite having left our garage open over night several times by accident. Parking is free but scarce without an attached garage. The train noise may be a problem if you need total silence and the windows in the master bedroom let in too much light and are not easily covered by a curtain. Walls are thin. Light sleepers might want to avoid. Not very many communal or study areas. Big dogs allowed, I have seen several mixes and German shepherds. Overall it is a good option for those not looking to pay for the niceties or luxury of a brand new apartment but wants the convenience of living close to the school.

Rent increased 200 when we went to renew. Not worth the price. Everything is very old (appliances, floors, cabinets, and shower). Close to the Law School and only takes 4 mins to get to class. Office people are not very nice. Maintenance guys are friendly. Lots of dog poop on the property. Garbage backs up and is not well managed. Too close to the train and freeway, very noisy.

Nothing to complain about but no merits, either.

I like this apartment complex because it is very close to the law school. My drive is about 5 minutes which is nice because I spend a lot of time at the school, but I can always run home quickly if I need to. Also, it’s a little bit cheaper than some of the other properties. Of course, that means that the amenities aren’t top notch, but I think they are good enough. I don’t really spend a lot of time at my apartment because of how busy I am with school, so I am happy to have average amenities if that means paying a little less for my apartment.

This apartment was very close to campus which was convenient. The floors are thin, so I can hear everything the people above me do. The walls are also thin, I can hear people talking outside or walking up the stairs. Management was very unresponsive. We had a hole in our ceiling which was avoided for two months before anyone came to fix it. We had problems with pests and hornets that were getting in through cracks in the door. Unless you pay for a reserved spot, there are rarely spaces unless you park in guest parking.

We have had a horrible experience even before we moved in. Unless this is your last option or the only option, or you want to be very close to the school then do not live here.
