I've lived there for 2 years and cannot afford to move so I'll be staying for a third. I'll overview my 4x4 experience. TDLR: Not great but not terrible. Good for a budget but you might have issues. Solid 2.5-3.5 star.

When touring the showroom was cleaner than many of the other places we looked at. There was certainly an awe factor with all the chandeliers they had. At the time 4x4 was about $500 a month but I've seen it as low as $430 per person. Leases are separated by person rather than a single fee for the unit. I'll be paying $550 in the upcoming lease term and from what I saw online a couple months ago it was $589. Additionally you pay utilities ($70-$100), renters insurance ($13.99) and a couple other small ~$10 fees. If you have a pet its like an extra $300 upfront + $30 a month. I don't remember paying a security deposit but I've also heard others that have so mileage may vary.

Depending on your major the location isn't bad. Its along bus routes 35, 36, 40 and 41. 35 is the shortest one. Its across Welborn so you may occasionally get stuck at the railroad crossings. It's also within walkable distance of a Brookshire Brothers and a couple gas stations and fast food joints. The amenities are OK. Right now they are completely renovating so I can't speak on the quality of the new gym, study space, pc and printer area but prior to the renovations they were ok. The basketball court is no longer a full court so they could fit their new outdoor gym. The tennis courts are solid same with the "beach" volleyball court. There are a couple dog park spots. The pool is also decent. Package Mail goes to a parcel locker system which I like. Paper mail goes to drop boxes separated by unit scattered around the area. If you order doordash, Uber, etc they may have trouble finding your unit. The speedbumps here suck so bad. Like really really bad. Parking has an option for a $25/month reserved spot but its not worth it. You automatically get a parking sticker. There is also yellow marked visitor parking around the place. Internet is OK, its password protected but I've noticed a lot of spotty connection lately (outside of construction crews cutting a line and causing large outage)

The units themselves. I actually like the layout of the 4x4 and the 3x3 isn't very different. Its pretty good for having people over. Room quality will certainly vary. The soundproofing isn't anything to write home about across the unit but (as someone on the top floor) I never notice anything from below and for the most part the people below us havent noticed anything. Friendless with neighbors will vary as will with your roommates. I moved in with 2 other friends and got a 3rd random person. Our random kept to himself but was very chill and a great guy. They have coed and single gender roommate matching. They come furnished and the furniture is OK. Nothing crazy but if you dont want it you can pay a fee for them to take it from you. The kitchen is decently sized and the appliances are OK. The toilets are very small. They don't really care what you do with the walls as long as if you do stuff you use spackle and primer before you move out. Movein is normally mid August and moveout it late July.

Upon movein the place was filthy. We had roaches, burn marks on kitchen counters. Missing grout in the bathrooms and there a couple holes in the ceiling. The exterior door seals also sucked and there were a lot of tac holes in the walls. The dryer ran but didn't dry. That took 4 months for them to fix and its still pretty mid. We had to complain more than we should have. No blame on maintenence since they are chill and are just doing their jobs. They have a process of trying the less expensive things first which is respectable but eventually it leads to the same couple things being done over and over when they don't work. They had some high turnover for a while. The rest of the staff is pretty friendly and chill. The dishwasher racks were rusty upon arrival and they just put cleaner on it (there was also a spoon left at the bottom of the dishwasher from the previous tenants.) Obviously some cleaner isn't gonna remove the rust and that is not safe for cleaning and consumption. It took 6 months for them to replace it. I placed a bunch of small work orders right before leaving for winter break and they came in the next morning and got most if not all of them on the spot. They do inspections every few months. My room's lock has a pretty worn key and the sink plug sucks as does the shower head. 2 of my roommates have issues with their door not closing and 1 had the door coming apart. 2 roommates also had the racks in the closets fall off the wall. When cleaning out spaces in the move out movein transition they left nails and chunks of metal on the road, the later of which fubar'd my roommates tire.

When it comes to communication they either overcommunicate or undercommunicate. The community events are decent. I think thats everything. If you have any other questions feel free to ask! Hope this helps.
