Everything your student needs
for success at texas state

We want your student to be successful throughout their career at Texas State University. The Grove at San Marcos is designed to support their productivity through community amenities like a Harvard-style library with a full computer work area in the clubhouse. Students can stay healthy with an on-site, state-of-the-art fitness center and even keep their pets healthy with an on-site dog park.

The Grove at San Marcos meets every need your student may have so they can succeed in a social, fun atmosphere.

Individual Leases

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is your student’s space only—unlike many apartments or rental houses with joint leases. That means if a roommate transfers or moves out, you don’t have to worry about covering their portion.

On-site Professional Staff

Our on-site maintenance staff responds to maintenance issues quickly and professionally. The Grove at San Marcos offers 24-hour emergency maintenance so your student’s comfort is never affected by a maintenance issue. We also provide a professional and fully-trained office staff to assist with all of your student’s leasing needs and questions. Stop by the office anytime you need or just to say hi!

Affordable Floor Plans

The Grove at San Marcos offers two spacious floor plans so you can find the perfect one for your student’s needs. Each two- and three-bedroom apartment home includes lockable suites, walk-in closets, full private bathrooms, and a full-sized washer and dryer.

Fully-Furnished Apartments

The Grove at San Marcos is a fully-furnished community. Each room comes furnished with a full-sized bed and an elevated bed frame, matching headboard, night stand, dresser, and study desk with a chair. The living area comes with a couch, arm chair, end table, ottoman, and a kitchen table with four chairs. The kitchen comes fully equipped with energy-efficient appliances, including a refrigerator with icemaker, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer and dryer combo.

Roommate Matching

If your student doesn’t have a roommate, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so we know what they’re looking for. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person available!

Resident Events

At The Grove at San Marcos, your student will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful post-graduation. Our staff plans monthly resident events to keep students involved. These range from pizza parties to karaoke nights, from resume building classes to gaming tournaments. We also keep our residents connected to events going on at Texas State University as well as events happening around town so they don’t miss a thing.

Are leases for families with children available?
Yes. The property’s policy is included here for family occupants with a child(ren) under the age of eighteen (18) who is domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another person having legal custody of the child under the age of eighteen, or (ii) the designee of such parent or other person having such custody, with written permission of such parent or other person. For family households with children, all household members age eighteen (18) or older must: (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a Resident. For family households with children under the age of eighteen (18), at least two (2) people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of eighteen (18) requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis based on factors including, but not limited to, the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, any physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes. If the child occupant reaches eighteen (18) years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated. Child occupants who are under twenty-four (24) months at the time the lease is signed will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy but will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of twenty-four (24) months during the term of the lease. The Landlord has the right to lease any empty bedroom(s). Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.
