Poor management - I moved in 2008 immediately the electric bills started coming in very high. Also when the winter came and had to use heat again high electric bills.Austin energy monitored electric use for a month. The out come was old and bad ac/heating units. Contacted management and the issue was ignored. When I moved out we cleaned the apartment spotless. They kept most of my deposit for cleaning purposes ...Full review of Marlborough Square Apartments

BEWARE OF THE DEMONS! - I know this may sound like a joke, but it is not. The Ivy was built on top of an old Civil War graveyard, and now it is haunted! I am not kidding. I lived there for 8 years and had numerous run-ins with the supernatural, most of which were very scary. ...Full review of Ivy Park

Not a bad place to live, if you can afford it - The apartments here are pretty old and some stuff needs to be updated. No dishwasher, garbage disposal nor laundry on premises. Crime here is kinda bad, especially during the summer, too many homeless wander down these streets to feel safe around here, but it's close to campus so you get what you pay for. $800 a month for rent without utilities is way too high for these tiny ...Full review of Mark Embers Apartments

Not bad for the price and location - PARKING I've never had trouble finding a parking spot right in front of my apartment unit, though it looks like it might be more difficult for certain buildings. This is something you can see well before you step foot inside a unit, so if you end up renting somewhere with shoddy parking, it's really your own fault. Lighting is suspect in places (dim in some places, ...Full review of Willow Brook Apartments

Lived here 2 yrs - great place - Not sure why the reviews I'm reading are so terrible... I've lived here for two years. The office staff is friendly and helpful (it is relatively new office staff I hear). Maintenance is quick to respond to problems and they get things done right. Yes the appliances are older, but when my stove started having issues, they purchased me a new one (a few months ago). They also ...Full review of Spicewood Springs Apartment

Worst place I have lived in - Parking was horrible. If you live there plan on being towed at one point... driving 40 minutes south of austin and paying $250 just to get it out. Resident parking was horrible and when I had guest they were constantly being towed. When you think you are parking in the correct area your not. I had many of my guest towed. If you live there plan on having some sort of damage done to your car. The ...Full review of Villas on the Guadalupe

Management Inconsistencies - The management office has a figurative revolving door. You may find that you do not have the same managers twice. So what flies with one manager, may not with another, and then when you change something, yet another will be there to tell you something otherwise. They have cut their officer hours dramatically. I say dramatically because they used to be open on Saturdays for us 9-5 ...Full review of Heritage Oaks Apartments

Serious issues - My wife and I have lived here for a little over a year and a half but are now planning on moving. This First year was ok, maintanence was a little slow but we never had too many problems to worry about in the apt. There are some roach problems but they do send people around to spray...it just seems like if you miss at least one spraying, the bugs come back almost immediately. This leads ...Full review of Country Club Creek Apartments

Blah. - Agree with first other posters on these issues: construction noises, poor maintenance, electrical problems, staff blah. In addition to those complaints, when I moved out Tom had scheduled someone to move in the day after my lease ended. My lease ended on a Saturday and when my place wasn't completely empty on the Thursday prior, he called to yell at me b/c he needed to ...Full review of Fountain Terrace Apartments
