Ion is a privately owned and professionally managed community. Click here for more information about the management and ownership..

You can select your roommate(s), or you can apply on your own and we can match you with other students. Applicants answer a short list of lifestyle questions to help in the matching process.

Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at Ion has their own individual contract, with one person per bedroom. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your apartment are empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.

Each resident at Ion pays a flat rate that includes:

The spacious accommodations at Ion range from 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6-bedroom apartments, with an in-suite bathroom for each bedroom. Some of the 4-bedroom apartments offer double-occupancy bedrooms; all other bedrooms are single occupancy.

Penthouse apartments are on the 15th floor and include a living room accent wall, special subway tile kitchen backsplash, and private access to the top-floor Skydeck Lounge overlooking the entire Northgate District.

Yes, all apartments at Ion have a furniture package that includes a full-size memory foam bed, desk and chair, and bedframe drawers in each bedroom. The living area includes a sofa, chair and coffee table. To see a sample of the furniture and other finishes, please visit our model home.

The standard term is August 18, 2027 to July 22, 2028, with payments made in 12 equal installments. Limited alternate dates are available; please inquire with our staff. Click here for a sample agreement.

Within 7 days after a Housing Agreement is signed, each resident is required to do one of two things: provide a qualifying guarantor (often a parent), or pre-pay the final 2 installments.

Yes. Residents can pay online 24 hours per day, by credit card or ACH electronic checking. Ion also offers automatic payment by either credit card or checking account — just fill out one page, one time and payments will be made automatically. Convenience fees apply for credit card and debit card payments.

Your living costs at Ion can be covered by financial aid,  just like on-campus housing. Any available financial aid funds, after university charges are satisfied, are released to the student for non-institutional expenses, such as off-campus housing. These funds can be used to pay charges at Ion. Normal payment deadlines will continue to apply.

Nearly all the residents at Ion are students at Texas A&M and the per-person contracts are also designed with students in mind. Ion is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students and residents with children, at no extra cost other than regular charges for each bedroom space selected by the resident. To match roommates in shared apartments with college students, roommate consent is required for any occupant who is not a college student.

Ion has a monitored fire-sprinkler system, along with electronic locks for building access, security cameras, plus individually hard locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols are provided at select times. Management staff can be reached by a 24-hour phone number.

Ion is pet-friendly, subject to limits on animals and breeds. The community is smoke-free in all indoor and adjacent spaces. Guests are welcome at all times, subject to the consent of roommates and security considerations. Overnight guests are welcome, with limits on the number of days and guests.

Ion offers plenty of on-site garage parking for an additional cost.

Ion is a 3-minute walk from the Texas A&M campus. Public transportation is also within walking distance.
