beautiful san marcos apartments near texas state university

Alta Center Point's San Marcos location is ideal, right in that Goldilocks zone between Austin and San Antonio that lets you sample city life without being stuck in the mix (and probably pick up some excellent barbecue along the way). 


No more choosing between big-city energy and being able to find parking. No more deciding between vibrant nightlife and peace and quiet. Here, you get the impossibly perfect middle ground – Austin's eclectic weirdness just 30 miles north, San Antonio's historic charm 50 miles south, and a genuinely cool college town vibe right outside your door. The San Marcos River flows year-round (seriously, it's 72 degrees in January – what kind of magic is that?), the outlet shopping will ruin you for regular retail prices forever. Plus, from the legendary Tex-Mex at Herbert's Taco Hut to the craft brews and locally sourced dishes at The Root Cellar, or the mouthwatering brisket at Hays County Barbeque, the local food scene punches way above its weight class.
