Sonterra II

 

I was surprised to read a "rebuttal" to another residents review of Sonterra.

I find it unsusual that a resident would find time to spend so much time discounting a negative review of a property.

Especially since its the only review thats been rebutted.

Of course I guess anyone has access to this site, including Sonterra mgmt.

I lived in Sonterra II, and I can personally vouch for the fact that this property is very poorly managed.

I dont know how long "Awesome" has lived there but I signed a long lease and I want all apt shoppers out there to know, that its simply not worth the risk moving in there.

Im not saying everything about Sonterra was bad, the area is nice, and the leasing staff is kind to a degree, but why risk the headache a lot of us had to endure there.

It is true what "Live Anywhere but Here" and most others have stated.

I personally contacted mgmt.

regarding residents letting their labrador retreiver fetch balls in the pool.

I live next to the pool, and there are frequent parties during the week, and some residents(usually children of residents) are very noisy until all hours of the night.

There WERE residents shooting fireworks off of patios last December.

Drinking, throwing glass bottles, screaming/yelling, you name it.

There most definitely have been vehicle breakins and vandalism, there were notices distributed on each residents door describing such crimes, and to be aware of them.

I guess "Awesome" didnt live here yet or maybe doesnt live here at all.

;-) The maintenance staff is overworked and understaffed, due to the properties size.

Its simply too large, with too many apts for them to attend to everything promptly.

If you are looking for an apt complex feel, by the way, this is your place.

Cars being worked on in parking lots, teens drinking beer outside in parking areas, partying etc.

I could go on and on but who needs to, everything has already been said.

The obvious fact is that there ARE many unhappy residents there, and there are a lot of well managed apartment communities in Austin.

Lets see, there are 16 reviews of this property, and I count 11 that are negative!! You do the math.

Thats not even listing all the negative reviews for Sonterra I, which is the same property! If it was a nice place to live, I seriously doubt youd have that many current and former residents finding the time to list negative reviews on this site.

Just look at some of the other properties listed on this site.

They have fantastic reviews, and some with no negatives.

I know I will personally be contacting some of those properties, and all those I meet looking I will refer to this site so that they can get the truth on bad properties and good.

After all who better to get info from that someone thats lived there before.

Just read some of these reviews on Sonterra I and II, and ask yourself "Is it worth the risk'" Great Website! Good luck to all you apt shoppers! Avoid Sonterra! :-)
