The property offers shared living in two-, three-, and four-bedroom units, with a minimum lease term of three months. Availability begins on 13 August 2026.

Who This Residence Suits
The Retreat At Denton works well for students or young professionals who want a fully furnished unit and do not want to deal with buying furniture or appliances. All units come equipped, which simplifies moving in.
It is also suitable for those who value responsive maintenance. One reviewer, ashley c, gave a 5-star rating and wrote:
“Maintenance here has been amazing. Every time I’ve submitted a request, they’ve come out quickly and fixed the issue without any hassle. The staff is friendly, respectful, and keeps you updated. It’s really reassuring knowing they take care of residents and the property so well.”
If a well-managed maintenance team is a priority, this property may meet that expectation.
Pet owners will find the pet-friendly policy convenient. There is no mention of weight or breed restrictions in the provided data, but the tag confirms pets are allowed, which is not always the case in nearby units.
The three-month minimum lease is shorter than many standard 12-month contracts, making it a practical choice for exchange students, summer interns, or those who need flexible housing for a semester or less.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
The property is not for everyone. A 1-star review from Rowdy Morris points to unresolved maintenance issues in the communal gym:
“Do you love living in a place where you pay to have gym equipment that you can use? Then don’t move here because I have made several requests to have the same issue fixed and I get told they fix it and then I go to the gym and they haven’t fixed it. Do you like living in a gated community where you pay for things to wo”
The review cuts off, but the complaint is clear: repeated repair requests for gym equipment went unfixed. If you rely on on-site fitness amenities and expect them to be fully operational, this inconsistency may be frustrating.
Also, the starting rent of $845 is nearly $366 above Denton’s lowest student housing price of $479. Budget-conscious students will find cheaper options elsewhere in the city, though those may come with fewer furnishings or longer lease terms.
The property is located at a single address, so if you prefer living very close to campus or downtown Denton, you should check the exact walking or driving distance. The provided data does not include university names or distances, so individual research is recommended.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews are available from the data set. Apart from the maintenance praise and the gym complaint, a third review from Mrs BB highlights the leasing process:
“I recently reached out to inquire about leasing an apartment here, and I had a really great experience. The property already seems well-kept and inviting from what I’ve seen and researched. Landyn was especially helpful during the process. He was friendly, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions a”
This suggests the front-office and leasing staff tend to be helpful and communicative, at least during the initial inquiry.
Overall, the mix of reviews shows a property that receives strong marks for maintenance responsiveness from some residents, while others experience gaps in amenity upkeep. The leasing experience appears positive, and the property is described as well-kept and inviting. The sample size is small but gives a balanced impression.
Price Positioning vs Denton Market
Denton’s student housing market has a from-price of $479 per month. The Retreat At Denton starts at $845 – about 76% higher than that entry-level cost. Its top price of $1,165 sits well above the city baseline.
What does that difference buy? The property offers fully furnished units, pet-friendly terms, and on-site laundry. If you compare it to cheaper unfurnished rooms where you need to buy a bed, desk, and chair, the $845 starting point may be reasonable. However, if you are willing to furnish your own space, you could find a room in Denton for under $500.
Note that these prices are indicative and may change depending on the unit type, floor plan, and lease duration. Always confirm the exact monthly rent and any additional fees with the operator.
Room Type Guidance
The Retreat At Denton offers three unit types:
- 2-bedroom (2b)
- 3-bedroom (3b)
- 4-bedroom (4b)
All are shared apartments, meaning you would have one or more roommates. The exact floor plans and square footage are not specified in the data, so contact the property for details.
If you want more privacy, a 2-bedroom unit means only one roommate, but the rent per person will likely be at the higher end of the price range. For lower per-person cost, a 4-bedroom unit would split the total rent among more people, falling toward the $845 lower end.
All units come fully furnished, which usually includes a bed, desk, chair, and closet in the bedroom, plus common area furniture. The pet-friendly policy applies to all unit types, but check if there is a pet deposit or monthly fee.
Booking Timing
Availability starts from 13 August 2026, which aligns with the start of the fall semester at many US universities. The minimum lease is 3 months, so a typical booking window would run from mid-August through mid-November (fall term) or from January to April (spring term).
Since the property has 490 Google reviews, it appears to have a substantial number of residents, but availability may fill up quickly for August move-in. Ideally, begin your search by early 2026 for that date. If you need a spring 2027 move-in (e.g., mid-January), start looking in October or November 2026.
The three-month minimum lease also allows summer bookings (e.g., June to August), though the property’s earliest available date is August 2026, so a summer 2027 stay could be arranged from June 2027 if the operator offers it.
