This review is based on data collected in July 2026. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
Who Is Astoria For?
Astoria suits residents who prioritise a quiet, well-maintained living environment and value responsive maintenance and friendly staff. Several reviews highlight that the community is peaceful and that management handles requests quickly. One resident summarised: “Living at Astoria has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. The community is well-maintained, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like home the moment you arrive.”
The property is pet-friendly, which is a significant plus for anyone planning to bring a cat or dog. With a swimming pool and laundry facility on-site, basic amenities are covered without needing to leave the complex. The unit types available — 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 4-bedroom — give flexibility for singles, couples, or groups of housemates.
For students or professionals who need a quiet space to work, the atmosphere described as “generally quiet, which makes it easy to relax or get work done” is a clear benefit. The modern finishes and natural lighting mentioned in reviews also appeal to those who appreciate a contemporary interior.
Who Might Prefer Other Options?
Astoria may not be ideal for budget-conscious renters. The minimum price of 499 USD is 20 USD above the city’s cheapest option (479 USD). While the difference is small, every dollar counts for many students. The maximum price of 1,209 USD is significantly higher than the city low, so larger units or premium floor plans could strain a tight budget.
The 3.4 Google rating indicates that not all residents are fully satisfied. Although the three positive reviews quoted in the data are glowing, the overall score suggests some common complaints — possibly about noise, maintenance delays, or value. Without a breakdown of rating dimensions, it’s hard to pinpoint exact issues. If you rely heavily on peer ratings, you may want to tour the property and ask current residents directly.
The property does not appear to have a gym or study lounge based on the listed tags (only pet-friendly, swimming pool, and laundry facility). Students who need a dedicated study area or fitness equipment may need to look for alternatives that include those amenities. Additionally, no university shuttle is mentioned — verify proximity to your campus.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews from Google provide a snapshot of resident experience. Note that these are positive; the overall rating of 3.4 implies that other reviews are more critical.

Price Comparison: Astoria vs. Denton’s Market
Denton’s student housing market offers a from-price of 479 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Astoria’s minimum of 499 USD is 4% higher. The maximum price of 1,209 USD is among the higher end for the city, likely corresponding to larger units (4-bedroom) or premium features.
Among the 25 properties listed in Denton, Astoria sits slightly above the entry-level price. If your budget is below 500 USD, you may find cheaper alternatives — but you should compare what’s included (utilities, internet, furniture). Astoria does not include explicit furniture in the data, so confirm whether units come furnished or unfurnished.
For a 4-bedroom unit, the per-person cost could be lower if the total rent is split. For example, if a 4-bedroom rents for 1,200 USD, each person pays 300 USD — well below the 499 minimum. However, the availability of that configuration and exact pricing should be confirmed.
Room Type Guidance
Astoria offers three unit types:
- 1-bedroom (1b)
- 2-bedroom (2b)
- 4-bedroom (4b)
1-bedroom — Best for solo residents who value privacy. Likely the most expensive per person but gives full control over space. Monthly rent probably falls near the upper end of the range.
2-bedroom — Ideal for two housemates or a couple. Splitting rent could be cost-effective. Check if the rooms are similar in size or if one is larger.
4-bedroom — Suitable for groups of four looking to minimise individual rent. Shared common areas. Given the quiet community, this could work well if all occupants are studious.
No information on floor plans, square footage, or furniture. Request details from the operator.
Booking Timing
Since no specific availability date or minimum lease term is provided in the data, you should start inquiries early — at least three to four months before your intended move-in. Denton is home to multiple universities, and demand for housing near campus can spike during summer for fall semester starts.
If you see a unit that fits your budget and preferences, consider securing it with a holding deposit as soon as you feel confident. Popular floor plans (especially 4-bedroom for groups) may go quickly. The property’s Google rating of 3.4 should not necessarily deter you, but it does suggest that visiting in person or requesting a virtual tour is wise before committing.
