Shady Oaks Apartments: Shady Oaks, Ancient Oaks, Archway apartments (Not Recommending)

2008-09-26T11:28:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I used to be the manager of all three of these places; 1996-1998. Apparently Al no longer owns them, though I am reading the new ownership is just as bad. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Al is still involved with them, by the sound of these complaints.I was ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: No great shakes, but cheap! (Recommending!)

2007-03-26T17:56:27-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I like this place - I suppose low rent and good location have something to do with it. As some mentioned, there have been recent renovations such as (faux) wood floors that really improve the look and feel of the apartment. Laundry's $1 per load, I've always been able to ...

Shady Oaks Apartments: Roscoe still cheating Tenants (Not Recommending)

2006-08-07T20:10:04-06:00

From loralieJ: Roscoe took a lesson from Al when they bought the place. When I moved out, they didnt have time to do a walk through with me, and said they couldonly do it after I left. They said to just make sure it was clean, and I would get my deposit ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: Long-term problems (Not Recommending)

2006-07-07T18:19:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here 10 years ago when Al Stowell first bought it, and it was at least as problematic then, especially on the move-out end as others have described. Avoid this place. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: Every resident I know had a bad experience (Not Recommending)

2006-06-04T18:03:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If I listed every problem experienced by me and all the other renters I knew I'd be writing for hours, so this is only a brief summary.

The landlord is Al Stowell, unless he's sold the place since I lived there. When I had problems I called the Austin Tenants Council ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: DO NOT LIVE HERE (Not Recommending)

2004-06-15T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The rent is nice and the free cable a big bonus but the landlord is a nazi, the neighbors are all crackheads,and my friend was actually jumped across the street at the gas station. You cannot make noise. I had the cops called on me while playing Taboo with 4 ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: (Recommending!)

2003-04-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I think I just happened to hop into this place right after all the renovations had taken place. Some people live in entirely different conditions. I rented an eff. and it by no means was a depressing hell hole. It is basically like a one bedroom without the hallway. There ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: Some Things Never Change (Not Recommending)

2003-03-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A little long and nit-picky, but here goes:

Sadly, this apartment complex doesn´t seem to have changed much since the previously posted comment and the renovations that took place recently. The elevator has disappeared, and the parking lot has been expanded somewhat although it still does not accommodate some vehicles.

Rent ... [click to read full apartment review]

Shady Oaks Apartments: Should be named Shady Folks (Not Recommending)

2002-08-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: On the plus side, its small, fairly quiet, and close to UT and I-35. Rent is pretty decent ($425-495, you can bargain a bit). Theres a convenience store and a laundromat across the street, and pretty good restaurants close by.

I have to say, however, that the bad outweighs the good. ... [click to read full apartment review]
