Overview and Location
The Pointe At Troy is a student housing complex located at Troy, AL 36081, in the city of Troy, Alabama. It sits within a market that currently has only two student housing properties listed on this platform, with the lowest monthly price across both properties starting at USD 575. The property itself offers units with two-bedroom and four-bedroom layouts, and amenities include a swimming pool, a gym, and free parking.
From the given Google data, the residence has a Google rating of 3.9 out of 5 based on 209 reviews. While no internal rating dimensions are available, the external review volume provides a reasonable basis for assessing resident sentiment.
The property is located near Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (note: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is based in Troy, New York; the address of The Pointe At Troy is in Troy, Alabama. Please confirm the actual distance to your campus with the operator before signing a lease.)
Who This Residence Suits
The Pointe At Troy appears well-suited for students who value a combination of privacy, social activities, and budget-conscious monthly rent.
Students on a tight budget. The monthly price range of USD 575 to USD 750 (indicative — confirm with the operator) starts at exactly the city’s from‑price of USD 575. For a four-bedroom unit, splitting that among roommates brings the per-person cost even lower – potentially under USD 150 per month for the most affordable configuration. Comparatively, a two-bedroom unit would cost more per person but still fall within a reasonable student budget.
Students who want amenities on site. The property lists a swimming pool, a gym, and free parking. These are common features in purpose‑built student housing and remove the need to pay for external memberships. The swimming pool and gym can also serve as social hubs.
Students looking for a social environment. Three resident quotes from Google reviews mention activities and community. One five‑star review by Vrund Shah says: “A great property for students to stay. With privacy but also close to friends with fun activities like pool and table tennis and also a gym to workout a great place to stay. Every thing for a affordable price!!” That suggests communal spaces encourage interaction.
Students who prefer a four-bedroom layout. Four-bedroom units are offered, which typically work well for groups of friends who want to live together but still have private bedrooms. The price range indicates the cheapest units likely belong to this category.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Students who expect flawless maintenance and responsive management. One one‑star review from Catherine Opager details a serious issue: “For two months this summer our apartment had no A/C. And not only would they not lower our rent they wouldn’t even bring us a window unit until we threatened a lawyer.” While this is a single review, it points to a risk: if HVAC problems arise, resolution may be slow or require escalation.
Students who prefer a smaller, quieter building. The property has 209 Google reviews, which implies a relatively large complex. Noise, parking congestion, and management response times can be issues in large student communities.
Students who need a short lease or flexible move‑in. The available from date is July 8, 2026, and no minimum lease term is stated. You should confirm whether the lease is only for a standard academic year (fall–spring) or if shorter terms are possible.
Students who live near a different university. The address is in Troy, Alabama, but the only university mentioned in the data is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. If you are attending a school in the actual Troy, Alabama area (such as Troy University), you will need to verify distance with the operator. For RPI students, the location is clearly not the same Troy.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available in the provided data. Here they are in full, with verbatim text.
Positive – 5-star review by Vrund Shah
“A great property for students to stay. With privacy but also close to friends with fun activities like pool and table tennis and also a gym to workout a great place to stay. Every thing for a affordable price!!”
This reviewer highlights the balance between private bedrooms and common amenities, and finds the price affordable. The mention of table tennis confirms the property has recreational facilities beyond the swimming pool and gym listed in tags.
Mixed – 4-star review by Jasmine Picard
“Going on my third year living here and it’s been an overall great experience! I personally don’t have any major complaints considering I prior experience with other apartment complexes and needless to say, student housing is student housing. Any issues I have had have been handled quickly and responsively with the staf”
This reviewer renews multiple times and finds the staff responsive to issues. The phrase “student housing is student housing” suggests realistic expectations – minor problems may occur, but they were resolved. This contrasts with the one-star review below.
Negative – 1-star review by Catherine Opager
“DO NOT SIGN A LEASE AT THIS PLACE. I have lived here for over a year and my biggest regret is renewing because things have gotten terrible. For two months this summer our apartment had no A/C. And not only would they not lower our rent they wouldn’t even bring us a window unit until we threatened a lawyer. I have so ma”
This review indicates that during a two-month period, air conditioning was non‑functional, and management initially refused compensation or temporary relief. The writer expresses strong regret about renewing. This is a serious complaint that potential residents should weigh.
Two out of three reviews are positive or neutral, but the negative one raises a red flag regarding HVAC and management responsiveness.
Price Positioning and Room Types
The Pointe At Troy offers two unit types: 2‑bedroom and 4‑bedroom.
Price range: USD 575 – 750 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator).
- City from‑price: USD 575. The property starts at exactly that level.
- City property count: 2. This means there are only two student housing options on this platform in Troy, so competition is limited.
A 4‑bedroom unit at the lowest price would cost approximately USD 143.75 per person per month (before utilities, if any). A 2‑bedroom unit at the highest price would cost USD 375 per person.
Which room type suits whom:
- 4‑bedroom: Best for budget‑conscious students who don’t mind having three roommates. Most units are likely shared occupancy with private bedrooms.
- 2‑bedroom: Better for those who want fewer roommates or couples. Per‑person cost is higher, but offers more space per person.
Booking Timing and Availability
The earliest move‑in date given is July 8, 2026. This is typical for academic year leases starting in the summer or fall semester.
Since the property has only two competitors in Troy (per platform data), demand may be relatively high. If you are interested, begin inquiries as early as spring 2026 to secure your preferred unit type and price.
No minimum lease term is provided. Confirm with the operator whether the lease runs a full 12 months or aligns with the academic calendar.
