Review from the web

Don't be lured in by Skiles and their low rent prices. The ONLY perks of living at this place was that it was close to everything, cable and Internet were included, and it's relatively cheap (at least compared to other places in town.) Most of the people in the complex were good people, and I wish them well. Others... Not so much. The police were called multiple times in the last couple of months that I lived here because residents/their guests got belligerently drunk and screamed. At 3 am. Yes this happened often. The laundry facility was a total joke, too. The washers and dryers were ALWAYS breaking down. Management will try to nickel and dime the HECK out of you--even for things that are out of your control. One time they tried to charge me $50 for "denying them entry" when 1. I wasn't home 2. They had a key 3. My doorknob was fault to begin with 4. I didn't even HAVE a top lock (but I was supposed to. I pointed that out to them and they quickly installed a BS plastic lock lol. But they did do something about the situation, at least.) Oh, and lest I forget: THERE WERE RATS. RATS. IN MY CEILING. One of them was in my kitchen. MANAGEMENT DID NOTHING ABOUT THEM. Maintenance gave us a trap and sealed the hole we found with steel wool. It was a mess. Take lots of pictures when you move in and deep clean the place if you decide to live here, because they don't do jack about preparing the place beforehand and they will try to charge you for eeeeeverything (even though these apartments are old as heck.) Sorry that this is lengthy but it all needs to be said. You couldn't pay me to live in this complex again or deal with Skiles/AMS ever again.

Review from the web

I love how the new management raised the rent/kicked family’s out that have been living here for years, to still be in the same shabby, rat invested building in the same ghetto/dangerous neighborhood. You can cut as many trees and build as many parks as you want, the only people that are willing to live on this side of town aren’t going to care about that stuff and you will see why it was a cheap area to live in. Go back to California

Learn more about renting in San Marcos, TX

For more than 10,000 years, San Marcos inhabitants have lived a blessed life on the banks of the San Marcos River. Modern-day San Marcos residents (aka San Martians) enjoy 80% of their free time swimming, snorkeling, tubing, fishing, kayaking and drinking beer on the San Marcos River.

If you’re a newcomer to the splendor of San Marcos, then the river is where you’ll want to begin your adventure. Grab a six pack from the excellent craft beer selection at the Yellow Store, then hit the Lions Club for tube rentals to float the San Marcos River. Check out the annual Float Fest and River Rice Festival for a grand day of riverside festivities and live music. And after dark, check out Cheatham Street Warehouse, Triple Crown or Tantra Coffeehouse for a Texas music scene that rivals the nearby city of Austin.

San Marcos is growing exponentially, with many Austin refugees fleeing the big city for the small town, music-loving culture that San Marcos is known for. The local bars and dance halls aren’t the only place to find live music in San Marcos. A stroll through campus, neighborhood parks, or along the riverside trails will reveal musicians at every turn. You’ll see ukulele pickers in the trees, a lone harmonica wailing down the San Marcos River, and a gathering of musicians at the tube chute, joining forces with guitars, mandolin, trumpet, drums, harp and didgeridoo. Feel free to pick up your instrument and join in, or simply sit back and enjoy the show. Join the river-happy San Martian crowd while you still can!
