404 Rio Grande: Terrific downtown rental (Recommending!)

2008-11-14T11:35:42-06:00

From ark121: I lived here for over three years, and I strongly recommend this place if you are interested in living in downtown Austin. The apartments have high ceilings, clean lines, and large windows. The location is fantastic (two blocks from Whole Foods), and the amenities are great-- a very nice pool, ...

404 Rio Grande: Great place, almost perfect (Recommending!)

2008-06-01T17:17:23-06:00

From austinite_caliente: Great place. I've lived here for two years and I've enjoyed it. It's in a great location. I've never heard any noise from my neighbors or people upstairs. Management is great. Phillip knows every resident's name. Maintenance staff is friendly and cracks jokes with you. There're a couple design flaws ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Unique Downtown Living (Recommending!)

2007-08-22T20:48:11-06:00

From Steve-o: I have lived at 404 for two years and have enjoyed it immensely. If you truly want to experience life downtown than this is the place to be. Its unique design is different than the towers being built all around the downtown area and the interiors of these units is ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: High priced apartments for poor construction & outrageous construction noise! (Not Recommending)

2007-04-12T07:48:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Before you decide to live here you may want to take my opinion as a former resident. One of many reasons I decided to leave was because of the non-stop construction noise all around the property. It begins at 2 a.m. everyday and if you are looking to get some ...

404 Rio Grande: Choose some other place (Not Recommending)

2007-03-12T13:02:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-:

-Some of the management is rude and inexperienced

-There are often broken beer bottles in the hallways, garage and on the stairs. The staff does not clean these up very quickly.

-People from the nearby La Zona Rosa often hide behind the apartment building to smoke pot and leave beer bottles.

-Lately, several ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Stay away until Construction is done (Not Recommending)

2007-01-17T16:12:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartments themselves are nice enough and the location is convenient; however, the construction noise on the east and west sides have ruined the experience. They are high priced as you are paying for location but construction at 3am during the week and on Saturdays make going out(and working to ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Best place I've ever lived! (Recommending!)

2006-11-16T10:25:37-06:00

From lworthin05: Perfect downtown location, especially with lots of new bars opening nearby. Very nice pool and hot tub area (which is often completely empty during the week.) Never had any maintenance problems. If you're worried about noise, try to get a unit on the Shoal Creek side. I lived in both ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Loved It! (Recommending!)

2006-04-04T18:30:29-06:00

From hookem99: Lived at 404 for 6 months and I thoroughly enjoyed it. No apartment is perfect but this was everything I was looking for. The location is great. Walking distance to the warehouse district and many restaurants on 6th. Also, Whole Foods is a short walk and I'd frequently get dinner ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: pretty good overall. (Recommending!)

2005-11-19T14:44:11-06:00

From dnavarro: I've lived here for almost 2 years.
Here are the only real problems.
1. Trash bins get full during the weekend.
(workaround -- Throw your trash during the week or take it down to the 1st floor.)
2. Only 1. "Guest" pass. (workaround -- I made friends with neighbors and when I expect ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: A complete waste of money (Not Recommending)

2005-09-20T23:58:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm all for paying for location, but for what I'm paying to live in "downtown austin" I could be living in a decent apartment in manhattan. Austin is the epitome of a demand driven market with no supply. If the city had a decent downtown you wouldn't be paying more ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Ups and Downs (Recommending!)

2005-06-12T22:02:23-06:00

From rheaconfused: We've lived here for a year and have just renewed our lease. We live on the side of the complex facing La Zona Rosa, and we are never bothered by the noise. The thing that bothers us are the drunks, and even that has tapered off. You can always call ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Ideal Place!! (Recommending!)

2005-06-03T17:59:07-06:00

From wlauten@hotmail.com: I have lived at Rio Grande for the past month (moved from Alabama for work) and have found it to be the ideal place for me. The apartments are located in the heart of downtowm and within walking distance of my gym, grocery store, and favorite night spots. The staff ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Great option for downtown living (Recommending!)

2005-05-10T15:38:29-06:00

From wklein1918@hotmail.com: Having talked with people who live at other downtown locations I think this is a great option.

There is some street noise but if you have a unit on the south side or courtyard the noise is minimal (other downtown places have it much worse).

Location is GREAT with the lake, ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Great Location, nice looking place, uncool arrangements (Not Recommending)

2005-04-23T05:17:21-06:00

From e2robins: Living here, you can expect the following:

Awesome looking establishment: your friends will think you live in a hotel. There is a beautiful courtyard with a fountain and a hottub.

Uncool management: There is a huge, gigantic parking garage, don't think for a second that you're entitled to more than 1 spot, ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: Getting noisier (Recommending!)

2005-02-09T15:59:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved here last spring, and gradually several things have started to happen: more drunks hooting outside when the bars let out at 2:30 am, more fire alarms being pulled around that time, more cars parked illegaly in the garage (thankfully management is trying to fix that), and more trust-fund ...

404 Rio Grande: Seriously...how many of these posts are legitimate?> (Not Recommending)

2004-09-22T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I think it's safe to assume that a fair number of the "positive" posts are from the management staff or others closely related to ownership/operations. 404 Rio Grande is okay at best, and has several issues that require immediate attention, some irrepable (noise, trash, poor maintenance and low build quality, ...

404 Rio Grande: I LOVE IT! (Recommending!)

2004-09-18T00:00:00-06:00

From matthew.marcelissen@bba04.mccombs.utexas.edu: I moved here in August. Thus far, I am loving it. My apartment is not only beautiful, but crafted from solid materials. The grounds are beautiful and parking is not an issue.

The best pirk has to be the management. Having delt with real idiots at my former resident, 404 ... [click to read full apartment review]

404 Rio Grande: (Not Recommending)

2004-09-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Very loud. due to disppointing construction materials and design I can hear every move my upstairs neighbors make (walking, vacuuming, cooking...nothing out of the ordinary) Unsettling, particularly given haven been told that "it's built to townhouse specs..double-paned glass, etc. for greater sound insulation" on the walk-through. The trash bins/garbage chute ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: This place is amazing. The office staff has been great from day one. Everytime I have had something wrong with my apartment or an issue,(not that there have been many), It is taken care of the same day. The pool is always clean and parking is easy! I love this ...

404 Rio Grande: REALLY LOUD/hidden fees (Not Recommending)

2004-05-22T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Construction every morning and unbearably loud music two nights out of the week. Two very loud bar/clubs border this block. Any of the units facing 5th street are stuck with very lound outdoor music on thursday and friday nights from Mother Egan's Irish Pub. Complaints don't seem to help the ...
