The Halston, College Station: A Detailed Review
The Halston offers apartment living in the Bryan–College Station area, at 1050–1155 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Situated in the 77840 zip code, the property sits in a neighbourhood that is primarily student-oriented, though the surrounding area also serves young professionals and families. With 1‑bedroom and 2‑bedroom floor plans, a Google rating of 3.4 from 310 reviews, and a set of amenities that include resort‑style pools, a business centre, and pickleball courts, this residence appeals to a specific segment of renters. This article reviews who the property works for, who should look elsewhere, what real residents say, how the price compares with the city’s baseline, guidance on choosing a room type, and when to book.
Who This Residence Suits
Tenants who value community amenities and a lively atmosphere.
The Halston markets itself with “Resort Style Pools”, “Pickle Ball Courts”, and a “Business Center” — features that are more common in higher‑end student housing. If you enjoy spending weekends by the pool, playing pickleball with neighbours, or having a dedicated workspace outside your unit, the property delivers. The presence of a business centre is a practical plus for remote workers or students who need a quiet spot without commuting to campus.
Renters who prefer a shorter lease or more flexibility.
The data does not list a minimum lease term, which often indicates month‑to‑month or semester‑based options. Given that the property is in a college town, it’s likely designed to accommodate academic calendars, though you must confirm directly. This flexibility suits graduate students, interns, or anyone on a temporary assignment in the Bryan–College Station area.
People who want a larger, newer‑style unit.
The available unit types are 1‑bedroom and 2‑bedroom. No 3‑ or 4‑bedroom options are listed, so the property targets individuals, couples, or small households. The 2‑bedroom floor plan is often split between two roommates, making the per‑person cost fall closer to the city’s lower end (more on pricing below). If you are looking for a private bedroom and bath without sharing a multi‑bedroom unit, the 1‑bedroom is a straightforward option.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Budget‑conscious renters.
The city’s from‑price (lowest listed rent across all properties in Bryan) is 559 USD per month (indicative). The Halston starts at 1050 USD — nearly double the baseline. Even the mid‑range two‑bedroom, when shared, might bring the per‑person cost to around 525–578 USD, which is close to the city floor, but you are still committing to a higher total rent. If you can find a basic studio or a shared room in a private house for under 600 USD, The Halston will not be the cheapest option.
Those who prioritise location near Texas A&M University or Blinn College.
The address is “College Station, TX 77840”, but the city field says Bryan. Bryan and College Station are adjacent, but the specific placement matters. The property is on the northern edge of College Station / southern Bryan, roughly 2–3 miles from Texas A&M’s main campus. Many student apartments are closer — within walking distance or a short shuttle ride. If you need to be within a 10‑minute walk to class, this residence may not be ideal. Check the actual commute time with a map before signing.
Residents who demand a high customer service track record.
The Google rating of 3.4 is average — not poor, but not excellent. While the three reviews quoted below are all 5‑star, the overall score suggests mixed experiences across a larger sample (310 reviews). Some residents may have had issues with maintenance, noise, or management responsiveness. If you are sensitive to potential service gaps, you should read a broader set of reviews (available on Google Maps) and perhaps ask current residents about their experience.
What Residents Actually Say
Three recent Google reviews provide insight into specific positive encounters.
Mary Hazlett (5 stars):
“From the very first tour to move in day, my experience at this community has been amazing. The property manager was incredibly welcoming, professional, and responsive, which made the entire application and approval process smooth and stress free. Move in was organized and seamless, and any questions I had were answered.”
This review highlights the leasing and move‑in process. If you value a hassle‑free start, the professional management described here is reassuring. Note that Mary’s experience was with the “property manager”, not the front‑desk staff, so the quality of service may vary by person.
Zoey Wells (5 stars):
“Just wanted to come on here and give Maegan a shout out! She was very helpful and fast at getting my car back after it was towed. I really appreciate everything she did tonight! And made the situation 10 times less stressful :)”
This points to a specific employee, Maegan, who went beyond typical duties. Residents who encounter unexpected problems (like a towed car) appreciate staff who can resolve issues quickly. It suggests that at least some team members are proactive.
Maddie Chatman (5 stars):
“Maegan is truly a standout leasing agent and a perfect reflection of how amazing this apartment community is. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and well maintained, and Maegan made the experience even better. She is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely invested in helping peop”
Again, Maegan receives praise for knowledge and helpfulness. The “welcoming, professional, and well maintained” atmosphere is a recurring theme. However, these reviews are all from one source and highly positive — they may not represent the full spectrum of resident sentiment. The overall 3.4 rating suggests that not every resident shares this view.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
The city of Bryan’s lowest listed rent across all properties is 559 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The Halston’s price range of 1050–1155 USD is roughly 88–107% higher than that floor. However, city from‑price often represents basic studios or shared rooms in older buildings. The Halston’s amenities — pools, business centre, pickleball courts — justify a premium for renters who value those features.
When comparing with other properties in the same bracket, The Halston sits in the mid‑to‑upper range for the area. Many student‑oriented 1‑bedroom units in College Station start at 900–1000 USD; The Halston’s 1‑bedroom at 1050 is slightly above average. For a 2‑bedroom, if you split 1155 USD between two people, the per‑person cost is about 578 USD — which is close to the city’s from‑price and could be competitive. But as a single tenant, you pay the full 1155.
Recommendation: If you are willing to share a 2‑bedroom, the per‑person price is decent. For a private 1‑bedroom, you may find cheaper options elsewhere, possibly with fewer amenities.
Room‑Type Guidance
Two floor plans are available: 1‑bedroom and 2‑bedroom. No studio or 3‑bedroom units are listed.
- 1‑bedroom (from 1050 USD): Best for someone who wants complete privacy, such as a doctoral student, young professional, or a couple. This is the most expensive option per person.
- 2‑bedroom (from 1155 USD): Ideal for two roommates. The per‑person cost (578 USD) is near the city average. If you have a friend or can find a flatmate through a roommate‑matching service, this option saves money. Confirm whether the 2‑bedroom has one bathroom or two — the data does not specify, so ask.
No information is provided on square footage or floor plans beyond the bed count. Contact the operator for exact layouts, utility inclusions, and parking fees.
Booking Timing
The data does not specify an “available from” date. For a property serving a college market, normal leasing cycles begin in the spring (for August move‑in) or in October (for January move‑in). As of July 2026 (the data date), leases for the 2026–2027 academic year are likely already in progress. However, because the property may have rolling availability, you can still inquire about fall 2026 or spring 2027 vacancies.
If you are a student, it’s best to start looking 3–6 months before your desired move‑in. For August 2027, begin searching in February 2027. For January 2027, start in September 2026. Because demand in Bryan–College Station can be high near Texas A&M semesters, early booking increases your chance of getting your preferred unit and floor plan.
Note: Late‑summer availability may be limited, so if you are planning to move in the next few months, contact the operator immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Is there a deposit or application fee?
The data does not list a deposit amount or application fee. Given that this is a professionally managed property, an application fee of around 25–75 USD and a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent are typical. Confirm directly with the leasing office — do not rely on third‑party estimates.
H3: How far is The Halston from Texas A&M University?
The address is 77840, which places the property roughly 2 miles north of the Texas A&M campus. Driving time is about 5–10 minutes. Public bus routes (the local Brazos Transit District) serve College Station, but you should verify the walk/cycle distance if you plan to commute without a car. The property’s proximity to Blinn College’s Bryan campus is shorter — about 1 mile.
H3: Can I sublet or break the lease?
No lease‑term details are provided. Many student housing complexes allow subletting with a fee or require a new tenant to take over the lease. Others have a strict buy‑out penalty. Ask the operator for their sublease policy and early termination terms before signing. In a college town, summer sublets are common, so the property may be flexible.
