I love living here and the amenities are fantastic. I love my neighbors and my home. My only issue would be some communication issues regarding inspections and the expectations involving alarms and the like, but otherwise I have no complaints, I'm very happy here!

Units are polished with upgraded appliances and location is very convenient and walkable. Neighbors are chill with a select few who do not respect shared spaces, leaving trash, spills, and pet waste without cleaning after themselves. Management has gone downhill, they are condescending and unorganized, and blame you for their deficiencies in communication. Maintenance team has been fantastic, they are reliable, helpful, and very warm people.

I just moved in and am settling in. The leasing staff has been very helpful and supportive. Answering my questions and concerns. I love the way the pool looks and the building locker. The mail room is spacious and private.

Overall, good value for rent price. Some noise from Metrorail and dogs barking or people talking on sidewalk below windows or in hallways. No advance notice when office will be closed. Nice office staff.

Every interaction I have had with the staff has been great! Jade, Elishja, Jose- some of the best! The pool and bbq area is beautiful and the gym being open 24 hours is great. Location is super - easy to get to just about anything in Austin.
