Overview and Location
The Pointe at Pinhook is a student housing complex located in Lafayette, Louisiana (70503). The property offers five bedroom configurations – 1‑bedroom, 2‑bedroom, 3‑bedroom, 4‑bedroom, and 5‑bedroom units – with monthly rents ranging from USD 625 to USD 1,350 (indicative — confirm with the operator). A refundable deposit of USD 100 is required at move‑in. The property is pet‑friendly, provides Wi‑Fi, and includes a gym.
Given its location in Lafayette, the residence is an option for students attending Purdue University (the nearest campus is listed as Purdue University; check the actual commute distance before signing a lease). The city has four student‑housing properties in total, and The Pointe at Pinhook starts at the city’s entry‑level price of USD 625 per month.
Who This Residence Suits
Budget‑conscious students who want to keep rent low.
The cheapest unit (shared or studio, depending on configuration) begins at USD 625 per month, which is the city’s from‑price. This makes it attractive for students who need to minimise monthly outlay and are comfortable with a basic room or a shared living arrangement.
Students who prefer a smaller building or a quieter atmosphere.
With 218 Google reviews and a rating of 3.3 stars, the property is neither the most reviewed nor the highest‑rated in town, but it has enough feedback to indicate that many residents have had a positive experience. The relatively low number of reviews (compared to larger complexes) may suggest a more intimate community.
Students arriving from abroad or relocating for the first time.
One reviewer specifically mentions that she was an international student and that the team helped her with homesickness. The property appears to have staff who are attentive to new residents, which can ease the transition.
Students with pets.
The complex explicitly allows pets. If you need to bring a cat or a dog, this is one of the few options in the city that accommodates them (check the pet policy and any additional fees directly with the operator).
Students who want an all‑in‑one amenity bundle.
The property includes Wi‑Fi and a gym in the monthly rent — you do not need separate internet contracts or a gym membership. This simplifies budgeting.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Students who prioritise ultra‑modern finishes.
The Google rating of 3.3 suggests that some aspects of the property are average — possibly older buildings or maintenance issues. If you need a brand‑new apartment with high‑end appliances, you may want to compare other properties in Lafayette.
Students who need a very short commute to campus.
The address is “Lafayette, LA 70503”. While it serves Purdue University according to the data, the actual driving or walking distance should be verified. If the campus is far, daily travel could be inconvenient.
Students seeking a large, resort‑style community with many amenities beyond gym and Wi‑Fi.
The Pointe at Pinhook does not list a pool, clubhouse, study lounge, or shuttle service. If you want those extras, you may find them at one of the other three properties in the city.
Students who are sensitive to occasional maintenance delays.
Although one reviewer praises a maintenance worker named Anthony, the overall rating of 3.3 suggests some mixed experiences. Always read recent Google reviews to see if maintenance response times are acceptable.
What Residents Say
Three verbatim reviews from Google are provided. Here is what residents highlight:
Supportive, caring staff.
Amoge Atama (5‑star review): “The Pointe at Pinhook is everything and more! As an international student, I suffered bouts of homesickness when I moved here but the entire team held my hand through it all. Ms. Yenag Wheat is a slice of sunshine with the way she is ever ready to assist me every step of the way. Ever smiling, she has a midas touch to ” (the review cuts off).
Long‑term satisfaction.
Rileigh Rhodes (5‑star review): “Lived here since my freshman year of college I am graduating and so sad to go. All four years yenag has helped with any and every issue possible and went above and beyond to make sure her residents are happy. Great asset to the Pointes team.”
Reliable maintenance.
Sarah Schnell (5‑star review): “Anthony who works with maintenance always does a great job with fixing anything around the apartment. I have been living in the Pointe since January and he has been extremely helpful and promptly with coming to my apartment. He is the best!”
All three reviews grant 5 stars, but the overall Google rating is 3.3 from 218 reviews. This means the positive reviews are balanced by many lower ratings. You should browse the full set of reviews (on the property’s Google page) to understand the common complaints — examples may be noise, parking, or management responsiveness.
Price Positioning and Room Types
The monthly price range is USD 625–1,350 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The lowest price (USD 625) matches the city’s from‑price for student housing, so The Pointe at Pinhook is one of the most affordable options in Lafayette.
Room types available:
- 1‑bedroom
- 2‑bedroom
- 3‑bedroom
- 4‑bedroom
- 5‑bedroom
The exact price for each floor plan is not given here. Typically, the cheapest units are 4‑ or 5‑bedroom shared apartments (your own bedroom, shared common space). The 1‑bedroom units will be at the top of the range (around USD 1,350). To understand exactly what USD 625 gets you, ask the operator for a breakdown by room type.
The deposit is a flat USD 100 — unusually low. That is a small upfront cost compared to many properties that demand one month’s rent as a deposit.
Booking Timing and Availability
The property states that units become available from 18 August 2026. That is a typical fall move‑in date for the academic year starting in August 2026.
If you are planning to move in for the Fall 2026 semester, you should start contacting the operator as early as possible — ideally in early 2026. The city has only four student properties, so supply is limited. The cheapest units (especially the USD 625 rooms) are likely to be taken quickly.
You can also ask about shorter leases or spring 2027 move‑ins after the August 2026 date, but the available‑from date suggests that most leases align with the standard academic calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deposit amount?
The deposit is USD 100 (indicative — confirm with the operator). This is a fixed amount and does not appear to vary by room type or lease term. Expect it to be refundable, subject to any damages or cleaning fees.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, the property is tagged as “Pet Friendly.” However, there may be restrictions on breed, size, or number of pets, and an additional pet deposit or monthly fee could apply. Confirm these details directly with the leasing office before signing.
When can I move in?
The earliest move‑in date provided is 18 August 2026. That is likely the start date for Fall 2026 leases. If you need to move in at a different time (e.g., January 2027), ask the operator about mid‑year availability. Leases may be 12‑month terms starting in August.
