    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.

    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.
