I've lived here for 7 years and I loved the Gables. Just like everyone else, I was worried about the change in management and just like all change, it was bumpy at first. Then I found out the "new" manager was the same Gables manager that was here for years when I first moved in. She is just as nice as I remember her as is the rest of the office staff and the maintenance staff is 100 times better! They have more resident activities like pool parties and happy hours, the complex is looking cleaner and I just found out that the fitness center and gym are being upgraded and there are plans for a bbq area all based on our responses on a survey they sent out when they first got here. I know these things take time but I'm just glad to hear the new management is actually listening to us. Things are definitely improving.

I live here as well, and it sounds like you are part of the staff. The management is not any better, and they have not made any of the survey answers known to any of the other residents.

Thank God I'm not on the staff. I don't know if I could handle all the whining! I've been suggest they take a look. I'm sure they'll know exactly who's writing based on current happenings..."This place sucks because they didn't waive my 15th late fee!" or "The management is mean because they charged me exactly what my contract actually says to break my lease!" Funny enough, I'm a realtor and apartment locator. I'm very familiar with many, many different communities and management companies in Austin. Trust me, you have it good. If you don't believe me, try it somewhere else. The grass is not always greener.
