I agree for the most part with the previous postings, but some of their opinions are a little out there.
Yes, there have been car break-ins. It hasn't just been at this complex, but complexes up and down Slaughter. Management did hire foot patrol after the residents made it very clear they weren't going to stand for nothing to be done. The foot patrol turned into security driving around all night - which then turned into security driving around at 9 pm once and leaving the complex.
Management has always taken care of any problem I have come to them about and has helped me with any questions I have concerning my lease or anything to do with my apartment.
The manager and a few of the leasing consultants live on the property so they are well aware of the problems with the buildings, the break-ins, etc.
Insulation doesn't seem to be a problem with my apartment. I make it very cold during the night and turn it up during the day typically. When I get home from work, my apartment is still as cold as it was the night before.
I haven't seen insects of any kind in a long while. Keep your house clean and you won't seem them.
Parking is bad in the back. That's an apartment complexes way to get their renters to pay for a carport - what do you expect' They are out to get money... If you're a single female and you know you come in late at night, get a carport near your apartment. That simple.
The construction of these buildings is quite possibly the worst I have ever been in. They were obviously put up in a rush. In my living room, I can hear my neighbor yelling three rooms away. My whole apartment shakes when he slams the door, I can hear every word they say clearly and my upstairs neighbor is EXTREMELY loud just walking. I can hear people on the other side of the building from me. I pay WAY too much for this to be the case. Up north, I paid 609/month for a 2 bedroom apartment that was built a few years ago and I couldn't hear ANYTHING from ANYONE around me. Now, I pay 935/month for a 2 bedroom where I can hear everything going on in everyone's social lives in my building. Not exactly fun!
For some reason the "green space" that south Austin requires for all apartment complexes, is not GREEN. All the grass around me is dead - all the time. I don't know if it's due to the poor landscaping or what. Also - I had to walk outside in my robe one morning to tell someone from the landscape company to get away from my window with the leaf blower before 7 am. I did not have to be at work until 9 and was NOT happy to be awakened to a leaf blower.

As soon as I moved in, I filled out what needed to be fixed on the apartment. Since the apartments were so new - the caulking needed to be re-done as they had settled a little. I went out of town on business and vacation for three weeks and came back to work orders stating that it was all completed. I walked around, not one thing was completed. The maintenance men are SO lazy around here - they act like they are working, but if you sit and watch them for a few minutes, you notice they don't work AT ALL. It's quite frustrating.

Anyway - if the rent wasn't so expensive, I wouldn't mind staying here, but considering I'm paying about 200 dollars more a month than what I should be for this place, I will more than likely move come the end of my lease.
