The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you and your business.
I love the Outpost! Amazing staff and maintenance, everyone is always so attentive and going the extra mile. If I wasn’t moving out of state I would have renewed for a third year!
Living at the outpost has been absolutely amazing and great. I have very friendly and kind neighbors. maintenance works to help in everything I need and as always , very friendly. Office has time for me and my roommate and is very helpful with any questions we have .
Great student housing! Affordable, safe, decent, and the office staff are amazing. Maintenance are super fast. They are always happy to help make living here a great one!
I’ve lived here for 3 years and the overall vibe here is great! The office staff is amazing and super friendly. I love all the events they have too. They’re always so much fun!
Absolutely amazing complex and the staff is always super nice. There hasn’t been a month where if I needed soemthing the complex took care of it asap
The community and staff are amazing here. The only actual issue I have is the outdated appliances (which can break frequently). Other than that, I love it here!
The Outpost has been the perfect home for me for over two years now. Maintenance is friendly and fast, office staff too. Only complaint is that they can’t do anything about noise complaints without audio recordings.
The best place I’ve lived at while in San Marcos. Affordable and excellent service, have never had any real issues. Probably your best option.
We love living at the Outpost! The staff is incredibly friendly and the amenities are great! I especially love having the first pick up and drop off on the bus route. I love feeling like my apartment is a safe space.
Great staff! It’s nice to be on the shuttle route. Been here for 2 years and I wouldn’t change a thing . The outpost is in a very convenient spot in San Marcos where it’s not loud. ??
It's been good. I've never had any issues since I moved here in 2019. Maintenance is good, office staff is great. No one is crazy loud. It's pretty chill.
These apartments are definitely a comfortable place to live with all the neighborliness and chill environment. The shuttle bus is my favorite part about living here because it’s been the best convenience to have as a college student. The workers here are also very friendly and always willing to help. Noise can be a little much sometimes but it’s a rare occurrence so it’s not all that bad. Overall, great apartments.
Older complex but the office staff and maintenance are very attentive and get things done quickly. Nice workout room and pool area. Parking can fill up quickly during the semester so not always close to your apartment but most of the time you can find a spot. Has been a good place to live my last year in school.
The Outpost is such a welcoming community! I have met so many awesome people. Not only are the residents great, but the front desk staff and maintenance team are amazing!
My first apartment and I'm definitely enjoying it. The staff is so welcoming and I love the little activities they have. Initially, I would come to visit my friends but I liked it so much that I decided to sign the next semester!
I love living here. This is my second year here and I renewed my lease for next year as well. Rent is not too pricey and I love all of the utilities.
Have lived here for about a semester and so far so good, signed on again for another year! Friendly workers and maintenance requests are answered and worked on pretty fast.
