The Lyndon — Attraction in San Marcos

DON’T PICK THIS PLACE: I agree with a review made a few months ago. If I could give them zero stars I would. This place is a joke and takes advantage of college students who are already having financial difficulties. DO NOT MOVE IN, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. I paid for the whole month of August for a one bedroom on the 1st when my actual move in date was around the 18th. This apartment is the first one i’ve ever lived in out of 3 other apartments that DOES NOT PRORATE RENT. My move out date was july 14 and once again I paid the whole entire month. When I was there for two weeks. so basically they took so much extra money from not only me but whoever moved into my apartment the following days. And I already know they are gonna respond well in the lease it’s 12 equal installments. And they are right. It is what I agreed too without checking. So that’s why I hope people read this review and be sure they don’t make the same mistakes I did. I was so focused on making fast living arrangements before school started. Because I couldn’t find anywhere else at the time. Don’t make the same mistakes and choose this place take the time to look at all of your options.

PACKAGES: They do not care if someone takes your package. They put little effort into it. One time I had my dad’s father’s day gift ordered and the delivery service left it in front of the retail spaces that connect to the lyndon. I panicked. immediately called the office and asked, can someone please go walk around the corner and see if it’s still there. (Keeping in mind that it is literally 200 ft away if that) and they said oh yea sure. Then they told me it wasn’t there sorry. I know for a fact no one in that office looked. Crying my boyfriend called the retail spaces in front to see if they had the package. Someone at Lab C food answered him went outside and saw the package sitting right in front of an empty retail space and grabbed it for me. They even held it for my to get the next day because I was out of town. Tell me why some random employee from a restaurant did more for me that day than the people who work in the leasing office who are actually supposed to be there to help residents. It’s crazy.

LIVING CONDITIONS: The living areas are absolutely horrendous. I can’t even mention the amount of times it smells like dog pee inside and by all of the doors. Trash left by others would sit there for weeks. The door was always having issues with the key fobs and literally everyone just opened it hard and it works. So it’s not even secure anyone can get in. The furniture is a cheap and the couch is the most uncomfortable thing i’ve ever sat on. and mine had stains when I first moved in and was never replaced. The trash chutes were the most disgusting place i’ve ever been in it was so bad that I never used them. When I say disgusting i’m talking about the trash rooms themselves the doors the floor the walls all of it disgusting. Not even talking about the chute. It always had bags of trash outside the chute because it was always full. I’d walk to the dumpster every-time just to avoid going in there because of how badly it’s maintained.

They are really good at making it feel like luxury living when it’s not as many reviews spoke about. During move out week they paint over all the ugly walls and do lots of temporary things to make it look better than it actually is. The screen at the pool area has broken panels and i’m wondering if they finally fixed that because of new people moving in. I had the worst experience living here for low quality conditions and high price. I hate how much money I wasted living here and urge you to look at other places nearby. It is one of my biggest regrets. I am so happy to be at my new apartment complex where I pay very close to the same amount as I did at the lyndon but with 200 square feet of more space. 🤦🏽‍♀️Still makes me mad thinking about how expensive they charged me for the space and living conditions but it is what it is and the only take away they gave is to never recommend anyone or...

This apartment complex gets away with so many things that they should be getting away with. I first moved in so excited because when I toured the place it was so clean and nice. Lie. As soon as I moved in the smell of terrible rotting garbage and dog poop was everywhere. And didn’t stop until I moved out. The dog park was infested with poop that other owners never picked up and left the poor maintenance people to clean up and my dog actually got an eye infection from it and cost me $500 that I didn’t have to get him care and antibiotics. Their solution to everything is hit people with fees but some people that live here have no regard for money or respect that they simply don’t care. Speaking of fees. I got locked out of my apartment one night and my roommates weren’t gonna be home until later so I called the emergency maintenance number and they said it would be $100 for them to come up and unlock my door. I said haha no thank you and sat on the hallway floor for and hour while I waited for my Roomate to get home. I was so eager to get out of there that I decided that paying double rent at a new apartment and the Lyndon was worth it so I didn’t have to spend another day there. Another thing is I knew that I was getting sick too often and my room always felt humid and gross. Turns out it was mold toxicity. I didn’t come back until a week before official move out to deep clean my apartment and as soon as I opened the door I saw mold all around my air vent. Oh there was also a leak in our ceiling in the living room so whenever it rained outside, it also rained inside. Maintenance came in and spackled it and painted. Couple months later after a heavy rainstorm is leaked again. Floor boards are lifting up. I really DONT recommend this place. I will only say that some of the staff was nice. Save yourself a massive headache and sign...

This is the worst possible place to live. But if you like the smell of dog poop and trash the entire time this is a great place to be. The pool is majority of the time disgusting and green. The dog park is full of poop at all times unless you are touring the place because that’s the only time they keep it nice. The workers are never helpful and if you your fob doesn’t work on the weekends you better get a hotel because no one is going to help you because no workers or security are there. Trash just lines the entire property and you can barely make it into the gate because of the dumpsters. If you put in a maintenance request I hope it isn’t important because they will not show up for weeks. If you could live anywhere else, please do that because this is the worst ran place I have ever experienced. They never have the elevators, hallways ceilings, NOTHING clean. The trash rooms are always over flowing. The elevators are never in order so if you live on the top floor, good luck. I have never seen a more disgusting place in my life. Don’t let their tours and pictures online fool you, they only clean on parent weekends and to tour people through the property.

Edit: Saw the reply to my review, not sure where you think these photos were taken but they are clearly on your property. Also, I didn’t take the stairs for fun, the elevators were out of order way more times than once. The trash is clearly, from my pictures, not taken out often as they were overflowing all the time. You should be embarrassed by your reply and take accountability on the horrible way your place is ran. Nice try, but the pictures speak for themselves. Have...
