Overview & Location
The Metro is a student-oriented apartment complex located at Denton, TX 76201, USA. It offers 1‑bedroom and 2‑bedroom units with monthly rents ranging from USD 589 to 729 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property includes covered parking and WiFi. The earliest move‑in date is 15 August 2026.
Denton is a college town north of Dallas–Fort Worth. The city’s cheapest listed student property starts at USD 479 per month (indicative), making The Metro’s base rent about USD 110 higher than the local floor price. With 25 properties tracked in the city, The Metro sits in the middle‑to‑upper part of the market in terms of minimum rent.
Who Is This Residence For?
The Metro could work for a student who is willing to accept a below‑average management reputation in exchange for a specific location or unit layout. The property offers both 1b and 2b floor plans, which may suit someone who wants a private bedroom without sharing with multiple roommates. The covered parking is a practical plus in a car‑dependent city like Denton.
If a tenant is able to handle maintenance delays and poor communication — and is prepared to fight for their security deposit — the monthly price is not extreme by Denton standards. For a 2‑bedroom split between two people, the per‑person cost would be roughly USD 295–365 (indicative), which is cheaper than many single‑occupancy options.
Who Should Look Elsewhere?
Based on resident reviews, this is not a suitable choice for anyone who values reliable hot water, responsive maintenance, or a pest‑free environment. The management appears to be the central issue. Tenants who expect a deposit to be returned within a reasonable time should avoid this property. The severe roach infestation, broken laundry machines, and weeks‑long lack of hot water are serious red flags.
Students who cannot afford to waste time chasing maintenance requests or who need a habitable living space from day one should look at other Denton properties with better ratings.
What Residents Actually Say
The Metro has a Google rating of 2.6 out of 5 based on 43 reviews. Three of those reviews are representative of the overall sentiment:
“Worst of the worst. Never lease an apartment from these people. They will make your life miserable during your stay, and they will not refund your security deposit after you move out. It has been more than 5 months, and I still have not received my security deposit.” — Amir Bhandari
“The management is absolutely horrible. The hot water hasn’t worked since I’ve got here and its been 3 months. They dont communicate at all with anything going on with they apartment. They will never get anything fixed. And my power has been out for going on 2 days and they have said nothing. And I doubt they’re gonna r” — Bruh
“Avoid this apartment and any others managed by this company. There is a severe roach infestation, broken washers and dryers, and maintenance requests are often ignored or falsely marked as completed. Units have gone weeks without hot water, and management is extremely difficult to reach. Even when they respond, it take” — abra solis
These reviews highlight three consistent complaints: non‑return of security deposits, unaddressed maintenance issues (hot water, power outages), and a roach infestation. The pattern suggests systemic management failures.
Price & Value
The Metro’s range of USD 589–729 per month (indicative) is above Denton’s city‑from price of USD 479 (indicative). That puts it in the mid‑to‑high bracket for the local student housing market. Given the very negative resident feedback, the value is questionable. You are paying a premium for a property where fundamental services — hot water, pest control, appliance repair — are not reliably delivered.
The deposit amount is not listed in the data, but the reviews indicate that recovering it after move‑out is difficult. Factor that risk into your budget.
Room Types & Booking Timing
Two unit types are available:
- 1‑bedroom (1b)
- 2‑bedroom (2b)
The 2b is likely the more affordable option if you share with a roommate. The earliest availability is 15 August 2026, which aligns with the typical August move‑in for US fall semesters. If you are considering this property, signing a lease well before that date could give you slightly more leverage, although the management’s track record suggests that lease terms may not be enforced in your favour.
Given the strong negative feedback, the most prudent approach is to only proceed after a thorough in‑person inspection and after getting any promises (e.g., deposit return terms) in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the security deposit refunded on time?
Based on resident reviews, no. One tenant reports waiting over five months without receiving their deposit. Multiple reviews mention that management does not return security deposits. Assume you may lose the full amount.
Are maintenance requests handled promptly?
Reviews indicate that maintenance requests are often ignored or falsely marked as completed. Hot water outages lasting weeks, broken washers and dryers, and power outages without communication are common complaints. Do not expect quick or reliable fixes.
How does the rent compare to other Denton properties?
The Metro’s minimum rent of USD 589 is about USD 110 higher than the cheapest property in Denton (USD 479). It is in the mid‑to‑high price range. Given the service issues, you can likely find better value elsewhere in the city.
