The leasing office is located at 401 First St, College Station, TX 77840.
OTTO’s leasing office is open Monday through Friday, 10am — 6pm, Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, and Sundays from 12pm to 4pm. Self-guided tour options are available through the website outside of normal business hours.
Unlike some apartment communities in College Station, we offer individual leasing for added peace of mind. Individual leasing means students are only responsible for their monthly installment payments, not those of their roommates. Contact us to learn more about our individual leasing.
We want to make everything as easy as possible for residents. That’s why we offer individual leasing from mid-August 2025 through late July 2026. We offer a limited quantity of short term leases. Call our office today for more information.
A guarantor is not required but recommended. We have many ways to qualify, from a personal guarantor, our Leap Program, Guarantor Waiver Program, and Self Qualification methods. Reach out to us to find out more about each option!

OTTO offers reserved and undesignated parking in a secured garage on a first-come-first-serve basis and at an additional charge. Cost varies based on whether the space is assigned or general and the overall demand for spaces, but you will receive a parking space if you sign up. A resident who does not have parking on their lease will not have access to park in our garage.
Yes! We offer RoomSync! Roomsync is a Roommate Matching program that allows residents to fill out an in-depth questionnaire based on their lifestyle preferences. Once completed, they can swipe left or right on potential candidates based on preferences to match together. They can even chat before matching to ensure they’re the perfect roommate couple!
Yes! We want to make sure our residents are completely taken care of. To make their lives easier, we employ a well-qualified team of management and maintenance professionals on-site during business hours. We even have a 24/7 maintenance staff available in case of an emergency.
