Amazing apartments! The apartment itself was in excellent shape upon move in and the staff is the best. I love it here! I will be resigning!

🏡✨ Living at Highland Terrace is a dream come true! Just a short stroll from UT and downtown, it perfectly combines convenience with comfort. The welcoming community is vibrant, and the amenities are a boon for busy students like me. I adore lounging by the resort-style pool on hot summer days, lost in a good book under a cabana. The gym is another favorite, enhancing my physical and mental wellness while fostering a sense of community. Exploring nearby cafes and parks is a delight, and returning to my cozy apartment feels like a refreshing embrace after a long day. Overall, Highland Communities has exceeded all my expectations. If you want a place that feels like home while being close to the action, Highland Terrace is the place to be! 🌳❤️

I have lived in Highland Terrace for 16 months and I absolutely love living here! The maintenance team is incredibly timely, and all my requests are handled quickly and efficiently. They also organize fun events for residents, which makes the community feel so welcoming. Sierra at the front desk is always so kind and helpful—she truly goes above and beyond!

Great apartment for grad students.
Amazing place to live! Very spacious apartments for the price. I love the location of the building as well as the condition it was in when I moved it. It was very clean and had recent upgrades. I will be resigning!

I have loved my time here so far. The office ladies are so sweet and maintenance requests get fixed very quickly. Parking is really only an issue after 9pm, when the spots start to fill up. Other than that the apartments are very cute and the amenities are also great. We just got access to a gym which is awesome.

I have been enjoying my single-bedroom apartment at Highland Terrace. The space is decently spacious with a good layout, and the wide windows let in plenty of natural light. The pool is a nice perk, and there is a convenient corner store nearby for quick essentials. Plus, it is within walking distance to campus, only a 5-8 minute walk to most of my engineering classes.
On the downside, the rent feels a bit high considering a few factors: my unit did not come with a microwave, the $45 parking pass does notactually guarantee a spot, there is no in-unit washer and dryer (each load of laundry costs around $5), and nearly all utilities are still paid by the resident. Overall, though, it is a decent option if you are specifically looking to be really close to campus.

Highland Terrace Communities is awesome. I was struggling to find housing for my sophomore year. When I came across Highland Terrace, I went to talk with a rep at the leasing office. She was so kind and super helpful. I am so glad to be a resident here. It is super affordable and close to campus!
