I've lived here since the apartment complex opened up for business. It is true that management changes very frequently, although I'm not sure why. The apartments are a little further South than most would like, but for the square footage, quality and price it's not bad at all. Apartments are spacious and most of all clean! No gross cottage cheese finish on the ceiling. Windows are double paned, ie. BIG electricity savings. Units have full sized washer & dryer connections which can be very hard to find Centrally.
The apartment grounds do leave a little to be desired. There is no fenced pet park. A lot of pet owners walk their dogs and do not clean up after the messes left behind. The area near the pool can get loud, but really, what do you expect' The apartments near the stairwell can get loud as well. I can often hear the baby downstairs faintly crying, but again, no apartments are known for quiet living.
The community is small, not near other complexes (think Stassney or Little Texas Rd. with multiple complexes next to each other). It's been safe the multiple years I've been here, I've never felt unsafe with the exception of an unstable neighbor. The apartment itself is incredibly close to multiple shopping destinations and the park across the street is pretty nice.
I've enjoyed my time here. I'm not sure apartment living has ever been thought of as peace and quiet solitude. You're living next door to many different people. Be realistic people. Security gates aren't designed to keep anyone or anything "safe". Management can be real jerks at time, but they're sales people after all. My experience has been very good with -----, but she's the only face that's been there since day 1. If you don't mind not being right in the middle of Austin, and you're looking for a clean, newer place at a reasonable price this is definitely an option to consider.

completely agree. great value here i think. ----- is very nice and helpful.. other than that, everyone else is pretty rude. the -------------- in the office is a perfect example. she looks pissed off all the time.. so don't even bother with her. Maintenance crew is helpful and has done a good job.
