    Good service, great staff. Manager is awesome! So far, so good.

    3.5/5 Jc on Aug 17, 2022

    Area and location is great. The gym needs weights, water, and cleaning supplies. The pool is annoying closed to often and we pay for these amenities. ALSO THE BATHROOM in pool area is never cleaned, never any toilet paper or paper towels. I clean and bring my own every time I go and it's gross they really need to fix this. The pool patio sets never have their umbrellas up, even in this texas heat. Grill need to be clean more often. Never any emails on updates for location of any type.

    I have nothing but positive things to say so far. My only complaint is that the trash pickup is sometimes difficult and the dumpsters are often too full to fit trash in

    Overall the place is good parking sometimes is a little bad because people don’t park correctly and there is dog poop everywhere honestly only two things I can complain about everything else is very good

    I love living here. The staff is super friendly and always very helpful. Maintenance is amazing and quick! The first weekend I moved in my AC unit broke and maintenance fixed it that day!! Another time we had a leak from the sink and the whole sink needed to be replaced, they did it in 24 hours. The quality of the place is 3 out 5, but the quality of the staff and maintenance well make up for it! I would defiantly recommend living here.

    This is a really nice location in northwest Austin, located within the coveted "golden triangle" formed by the convergence of Capital of Texas Highway, Mopac, and Hwy 183 (Research Blvd.) Quick access to many popular areas of Austin, including The Domain, the Arboretum, downtown, and Zilker Park. Complex is secure and quiet and filled with trees.

    I've lived here for almost 3 years. It is in a superb location, close to all major highways. My two apartments I've lived in were fresh with new paint and flooring. The management gals - Susan and Crystal are the best. They are dedicated to making this property community friendly and well taken care of. Max and Michael do a fantastic job at maintenance. It's tough to choose which is better - the management or the maintenance! Anytime I've had a problem, it's been taken care of quickly, often within 2 hours. You can't get that service owning a home!! Susan is very engaging, always ready to chat when you go in to get a package delivered. That's a plus also - your packages won't get taken by porch pirates when they're delivered to the office. Susan has strivved to make this a fun community with Christmas wrapping events, Halloween decoration contests and pet costume contests. Both the office gals are committed to assisting residents in any and all issues. Bottom line, I wouldn't live anyplace else!

    5/5 Sandy B. on Dec 26, 2020

    Great staff, quick turn-around for any maintenance issues!

    I love living here. The grounds are clean, well maintained, and within close proximity to plenty. The apartment was really nice and ready when we moved in and the process was so smooth.
