Holik Square

Holik Square is a small townhouse-style community in Bryan-College Station — a single-block property with townhouse floor plans aimed at renters who want a house feel without committing to a full house lease. The community runs nearly fully leased most of the year, with rare turnover and a working waitlist as the primary intake path for new renters.

The character here is townhouse: two-story floor plans with bedrooms upstairs, living downstairs, your own front door from a private entrance rather than a shared hallway. It reads like a small block of neighborhood homes more than an apartment-community footprint.

The property

Holik Square is townhouse-style across the board. Floor plans are two-bedroom or larger, with single or two-bath setups depending on the building. Living room + kitchen sit on the ground floor; bedrooms are up one set of stairs. Private patios or small yards on the ground level. Newer construction with finishes that lean residential rather than rental-grade. The whole property is laid out around a central drive with reserved parking near each unit.

Getting around

The community sits within the Bryan-College Station core, with quick access to both Texas Avenue (the spine artery through CS) and the Texas A&M campus. By car, downtown Bryan is 8 minutes north; the TAMU academic core is 10-12 minutes south; Easterwood Airport is 10 minutes west. Public transit is limited compared to closer-in TAMU bus routes, but the location works well for a car-first commute.

Inside the units

Townhouse package: refrigerator, range/oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer connections (some units include the appliances, others have hookups only), central HVAC. Two-story layouts mean bedroom-to-living separation that flat apartments don’t offer. Windows on multiple sides of the unit because each townhouse has its own exterior walls. Some units have small private outdoor areas.

Walkable / quick-drive from the property

Bryan Athletic Park is a short drive. Tiffany Park is in the surrounding neighborhood. The Bryan-College Station retail clusters along Texas Avenue (H-E-B, Target, Post Oak Mall) are within a 5-10 minute drive. Restaurants and the entertainment cluster around downtown Bryan and Northgate are each a 10-15 minute drive depending on time of day.

Practical notes before signing

• Waitlist-driven inventory: Holik Square is typically near-fully leased, so the waitlist is how most new renters end up here. The leasing team contacts you when something opens up that matches your floor-plan request and timing.
• Lease cycle: Townhouse-style properties tend toward 12-month leases rather than academic-year cycles, but ask for current options.
• Pets: Most townhouse properties allow pets with deposit; ask the leasing office for current rules.
• Parking: Reserved space per unit, typically with extra visitor parking on the central drive.
• Floor levels: All townhouse units have an upstairs and downstairs — there’s no single-story option here. If stairs are a factor, this community may not be the right fit.
• Internet: AT&T fiber and cable internet both serve the area; many residents pull their own service rather than building-issued.

Questions renters ask

How long is the waitlist? It varies by season and floor plan. Turn-over typically clusters around lease-end windows in summer; mid-year openings are rarer but happen. Joining the list early and being flexible on move-in timing gets faster placement.

Is this a student community? No. The townhouse layout and lease style attract a mix of working renters, small families, and post-grad students — not the academic-calendar student rhythm you find closer to campus.

What’s the difference from a flat apartment? Townhouses give you bedroom-on-a-different-floor privacy, your own entrance, more wall space because you’re not sharing internal walls with neighbors above or below, and typically more storage. Trade-offs are stairs and slightly higher rent for the same bedroom count.
