Facility Overview and Location
Terrace is a student housing property located at St. Louis, MO 63108, USA. It sits in the central corridor of St. Louis, an area that provides access to several local universities and the cultural amenities of the city. The property offers apartment-style living with three-bedroom unit configurations.
The building includes a breakfast bar and laundry facilities. The property is currently listed as not available — prospective tenants should confirm current availability directly with the operator before making plans.
The city of St. Louis has 23 student housing properties listed on the platform, with the lowest monthly price starting at $845. This gives context for evaluating where Terrace sits in the local market.
Price Positioning Against the City
Terrace has a monthly price range of $1,600 to $3,315 per month. These figures are indicative — confirm with the operator for current rates and any seasonal adjustments.
Compared to the city’s from-price of $845 per month, Terrace starts at nearly double the lowest available option in St. Louis. The upper end of its price range is roughly four times the city’s entry-level price. This positions Terrace as a premium-priced property within the St. Louis student housing market.
Several factors may contribute to this pricing:
- The property is located in a central area of St. Louis, which may command higher rents.
- Three-bedroom units typically cost more per unit than smaller configurations.
- The property offers apartment-style living with specific amenities like breakfast bars.
For budget-conscious students, the $1,600 starting price means this property will not be the most affordable option in the city. The gap between Terrace’s minimum price ($1,600) and the city’s from-price ($845) is $755 per month — a significant difference that should be weighed against your housing budget.
Room Type and Lease Guidance
Terrace offers two unit types:
-
Three-bedroom units: These are the primary configuration. Shared living arrangements mean splitting the rent among three tenants, which can make the per-person cost more manageable. If three housemates share a unit at the lower end of the price range, each person would pay approximately $533 per month before utilities. At the upper end, the per-person cost would be roughly $1,105.
-
Apartment units: The property also lists general apartment units. The exact configuration of these apartments is not specified in the available data — confirm with the operator whether these are studios, one-bedroom, or other layouts.
The minimum lease term is six months. This offers moderate flexibility compared to properties that require 12-month leases. Students with shorter academic terms or those who need a temporary arrangement may find this lease length workable.
The property is currently listed as not available. This could mean all units are occupied or that the operator is not accepting new applications. Always verify availability directly.
What Residents Actually Say
The property holds a Google rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars based on 81 reviews. This is a low rating that signals significant dissatisfaction among residents. Below are verbatim extracts from three reviews — each raises distinct concerns.
Review by nobel bhasin (1 star):
“A Cautionary Review for Prospective Tenants I’m writing this review as a warning to others considering moving into this property. We relocated from Houston and, due to international travel, were unable to tour the unit in person before signing the lease. Prior to our move, we communicated extensively with the Westend m”
This review is cut off in the data, but the visible portion indicates the reviewer signed a lease without touring the property — a situation that led to a negative experience. The reviewer explicitly frames the review as a warning.
Review by Michaela Springer (1 star):
“0 stars. I went for a pre-booked tour and nobody was there. I called 4x. Leasing office was locked despite signage saying it would be open. One of the buildings was unlocked so we looked around. There was an immediate stench which led us to a large leak and visible mold on the wall.”
This review describes three issues: a no-show for a scheduled tour, difficulty reaching staff by phone, and observations of a water leak with visible mold in a building that was left unlocked.
Review by Ramya garbhapu (1 star):
“This is the condition of the roof after the snow. It’s been leaking for days. Intimated the leasing office and raised multiple requests but no response from both the ends. Was planning to continue the lease but the maintenance has been a flaw. We also raised other requests for plumbing but no response from the maintena”
This review reports an unresolved roof leak that persisted for days, unaddressed maintenance requests, and a lack of response from both the leasing office and maintenance team. The reviewer had originally planned to renew the lease but changed their mind due to maintenance failures.
All three reviews are one-star ratings. No positive reviews are included in the available data. The common themes across these reviews are: unresponsive management, maintenance neglect, and difficulty accessing the property or staff.
Who This Residence Suits
Based on the available information, Terrace may suit:
- Tenants willing to tour in person before signing: The reviews strongly suggest that visiting the property beforehand is important. If you can physically inspect the unit and building conditions, you can make an informed decision.
- Groups of three who want shared living: The three-bedroom configuration works for housemates who want to split costs and live together in an apartment-style setting.
- Students needing a six-month lease: The six-month minimum offers more flexibility than year-long commitments.
- Tenants who accept a higher price point for a central location: If location is your priority and budget is not your main constraint, the central St. Louis location may be worth the premium.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
This property likely does not suit:
- Budget-focused students: With a starting price nearly double the city’s from-price, more affordable options exist.
- Tenants who cannot tour in person: Multiple reviews highlight issues that became apparent only after move-in. If you are relocating from another city or country, consider properties with more consistently positive feedback.
- Anyone needing prompt maintenance: Multiple reviews describe unaddressed maintenance requests for leaks and plumbing issues.
- Tenants who value responsive management: The reviews consistently mention difficulty reaching staff and getting responses to requests.
- Students seeking a property with strong resident satisfaction: A 2.5 rating from 81 reviews is significantly below average for student housing.
Booking Timing Considerations
The property is currently listed as not available, which limits booking options. If the property becomes available again, consider the following:
- Start inquiries 4-6 months before your move-in date: This gives time to arrange a tour, review lease terms, and confirm availability.
- Tour the property in person if possible: Based on resident reviews, this step is strongly recommended. If you cannot tour, ask the operator for photos, video walkthroughs, and written confirmation of unit condition.
- Confirm who manages maintenance: Ask about response times, after-hours procedures, and how to escalate unresolved issues.
- Read the lease carefully: Look for clauses about maintenance response obligations and lease break options if conditions are unsatisfactory.
- Compare with other St. Louis properties: With 23 properties listed in the city and a from-price of $845, you have alternative options to evaluate.
