It sits within the city of Lubbock – a market where 18 student‑housing properties are currently listed, with a city‑wide from‑price of $350 per month. The Holly offers 2‑bedroom, 3‑bedroom, and 4‑bedroom units, with monthly rates ranging from $389 to $579 (indicative – confirm with the operator).

Who It Suits
The Holly suits students and young professionals who prioritise on‑site amenities and a lively social environment. The property features a gym, swimming pool, and is pet‑friendly – three amenities that are often highlighted by residents. The high staff rating (5.0) and social rating (5.0) suggest a responsive management team and an active community.
This property is a better fit for those who prefer living with roommates. All unit types are multi‑bedroom (2b, 3b, 4b), so solo occupants looking for a studio or 1‑bedroom will not find an option here. The price range ($389–$579 per month) sits roughly 11%–65% above the city’s lowest listed price ($350), which is typical for a property offering a full set of amenities. For residents who value a strong staff presence, regular social events, and facilities that are well‑maintained, The Holly appears to deliver.
Who Might Look Elsewhere
The property may not suit everyone. The available review from Liberty Nicholas (rated 2 out of 5) describes significant difficulties with management communication and responsiveness. According to that review: “Communication was consistently poor, and getting a response was…” – the comment is cut off but clearly negative. For prospective tenants who place a premium on seamless communication, this reported experience is a caution.
Additionally, the aggregated cleanliness and internet scores are both 3.5 out of 5 – below the other categories. If you require fast, reliable internet (especially for online coursework or streaming) and a spotless shared space, you may want to investigate those details further through a tour or direct conversation with the current management.
The property is also not ideal for someone on a very tight budget. At $389 per month, the cheapest unit is still $39 above the city’s from‑price. While this difference is modest, the upper end ($579) is 65% above $350. If you are seeking the absolute lowest price in Lubbock, The Holly is not that option.
What Residents Actually Say
Three excerpts from Google reviews provide a balanced view.
Branden Hunt (5 stars): “Great experience at the Holly. The gym and pool are both really nice and well-kept. The staff is super friendly and easy to talk to, which makes a big difference. Irma is always very helpful! I’ve even made some good connections here. Definitely recommend living here.”
Chandler Arredondo (5 stars): “I have lived at the Holly for about a year now and have loved it so far! The Holly team is so attentive with tenant concerns and questions. PJ and Cameron are AMAZING. They’ve been super helpful. Irma is always super kind!! I love the facilities incuded, especially the gym. They have had so many fun events for the tena” (review truncated in source).
Liberty Nicholas (2 stars): “I normally don’t leave reviews, but I feel it’s important to share our experience so other families can make informed decisions. My daughter lived here for a year and a half moving out July 2025. We had several issues with management throughout her lease. Communication was consistently poor, and getting a response was…”
The positive reviews emphasise the gym, pool, friendly staff, and community events. The negative review highlights communication breakdowns. Because the negative review is from a family member of a tenant, it raises a point about responsiveness during the lease. Both the positive and negative reviews are from 2025 or earlier, so management may have changed – but the review remains part of the public record.
Price Positioning in Lubbock
Lubbock’s student‑housing market starts at $350 per month (city from‑price). The Holly’s range of $389–$579 monthly means its cheapest unit is $39 above the baseline, putting it in the mid‑to‑upper segment for the city. For comparison:
- City from‑price: $350/month
- The Holly cheapest: $389/month (11% above baseline)
- The Holly most expensive: $579/month (65% above baseline)
Given that The Holly includes a gym, pool, and pet‑friendly policy – features not all Lubbock properties may offer – the premium may be justified for those wanting those amenities. The value‑for‑money rating is 5.0 from aggregated data, indicating that current residents generally feel the price is fair for what they receive. However, as with all pricing, always check with the operator for the exact rate on the unit you are considering, as prices can fluctuate based on lease length, unit type, and promos.
Room‑Type Guidance
The Holly offers three configurations: 2‑bedroom, 3‑bedroom, and 4‑bedroom. All are likely to be shared with roommates; individual room leases may be available depending on the operator’s policy (confirm directly). Without a deposit figure provided, be prepared to ask about upfront costs.
- 2‑bedroom units – best for a smaller group of two looking for more privacy per person.
- 3‑bedroom units – a common student format, balancing cost per person and space.
- 4‑bedroom units – typically the most affordable per‑person rent, but with more housemates.
No price per unit type is given in the source data; the range $389–$579 likely reflects the variation across unit types and floor plans. To choose wisely, consider your maximum budget and how many roommates you are comfortable with.
Booking Timing & Availability
The property is available from 15 August 2026. In Lubbock, leases often begin in August to align with the autumn semester. If you plan to move in for the 2026/27 academic year, securing a unit several months in advance (e.g., early 2026) is common for desirable properties. The Holly has 1,304 Google reviews, indicating high visibility and likely steady demand. Early booking may give you a better chance at your preferred floor plan and a lower lease rate (if early‑bird pricing is offered). Because the city has 18 listed properties, competition exists – but properties with a 4.0‑star rating and strong amenity set tend to lease earlier.
