2007-01-17T02:17:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I read the review of "Nothing Nice Here" and I have to say, as a current resident, that person was EXACTLY right.

2006-11-12T20:57:18-06:00

Sonterra II: Nice place, fair value (Recommending!)

2006-10-29T17:00:21-06:00

From shane01: Sonterra II was a nice place to live. I was sorry to leave since my lease was only 613 per month and included a garage. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that my apt faced the road and I heard all the noise. Otherwise, a good value. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Excellent Community (Recommending!)

2006-07-11T10:24:51-06:00

From cosworthzx3: I can not begin to give praise to the great place that Sonterra II is. All of our maintance needs are met on the same day that we have the problem.

From gingerbread2004: The air quality outside and in was great in this apartment, and whenever I had any problems, maintenance showed up within a day or 2 to fix it. Boulder Lane is a beautiful nature walk and the apartment is surrounded by a large preserve. The apartments are reasonably priced.

2006-06-27T08:03:11-06:00

From WRFBBQsauce: The apartment itself is fine, I like my neighbors and enjoy the location.

The reason i won't be re-leasing is because of the staff at the front office. One very rude blonde 19 year old in particular. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Nothing Nice Here (Not Recommending)

2006-05-05T18:26:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The only good thing about this place is the location. It is off of 620 in a neighborhood, so traffic noise is not too bad. This location also allows for nice walks to the park.

Noise: Loud. This is the most poorly constructed apartment I have lived in. It is easy ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: It's decent (Recommending!)

2005-11-08T14:56:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have to agree with the kind of people that have moved in. I have had to make 911 calls because I could hear neighbors being beaten and slapped around. Not a good way to come home at the end of the day. There are issues with ants and other ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Absolutely (Recommending!)

2005-10-22T12:44:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This was a great apartment complex. The management and maintenance staff were great and prompt whenever we needed anything. We had good neighbors and always felt safe.

2005-02-09T20:40:29-06:00

From sauron846: I will qualify the title of this post, but before I do, I'm going to list the imperfections I've run into. I've lived in two different apartments (both in Sonterra II). My first apartment was a 2/2 with garage on the second floor. I was in that apartment for a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: No plans to move (Recommending!)

2004-07-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am a value shopper, and compared to how low the rents are right now, Sonterra II is probably the best bargain in Austin. The apartments are huge, and not having to pay for a gym membership is a big perk. I can't speak to the parking issue, since I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Not bad at all. (Recommending!)

2004-04-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I´ve never had any real problems here. The only annoyances I´ve ever had wouldn´t bother people with normal sleep and work schedules. Wednesday seems to be lawn service day. Since I don´t wake up until afternoon, the lawnmowers and leaf blowers at 10 a.m. are pretty bothersome. The same goes ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: re:awesome (Recommending!)

From -Anonymous-: Overall, I would say I have had a good experience. Barbie (the manager) has always been helpful. I have been here for a year and have seen the majority of the same people in the office...the management must be doing something right. In my opinion the only thing I dont ...

Sonterra II: re:Worst slum hole in Texas (Recommending!)

2004-03-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The fact that you gave EVERY single aspect a 1 tells me I can´t believe a word you´ve said. I´ve lived in many apartments, I´ve yet owned a home..and you will always have noise upstairs, it´s part of apartment life. If you feel the need to be prissy about it, ...

Sonterra II: Worst slum hole in Texas (Not Recommending)

2004-01-31T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in apartments for 5 years...in multiple states. Moving into Sonterra II this year proved to be the worst mistake possible regarding apartment living. I would be better off and happier in a trailer park in a silver bullet camper. I have never lived in an apartment this ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Awesome! (Recommending!)

2003-12-01T00:00:00-06:00

From KellyW: We´ve experienced quite the opposite while living at Sonterra II.

Sonterra II: Not worth the Risk (Not Recommending)

2003-11-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was surprised to read a "rebuttal" to another residents review of Sonterra. I find it unsusual that a resident would find time to spend so much time discounting a negative review of a property. Especially since its the only review thats been rebutted. Of course I guess anyone has ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: It´s nice here... (Recommending!)

From spiritfairy311@yahoo.com: I don´t know where these other people have lived, but trust me, there are problems EVERYWHERE you go...this apartment complex is nice.

2003-08-12T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We are pleased with this complex. We leased here initially because of friends who had a great apt here.

We love our apartment, the fact that we live in the country & that we face the wildlife preserve & can hear coyotes in the distance!

Half the people in our building ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Getting Worse by the day...trailer trash have found their way to Canyon Creek and they feel right at home. (Not Recommending)

2003-06-10T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartment office closed at the end of 2001 and consolidated with the office on RR 620. The residents unfortunate enough to be stuck in this miserable dump before then had all of the aminities removed that were part of the lease and Fairfield Properties does not care. I am ...

Sonterra II: Problems: Trash, Workmanship, Mgmt (Not Recommending)

2003-03-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Here's my laundry list of reasons I'd never go back:

-You have to DRIVE your garbage to the front of the complex to the compactor! There are NO dumpsters inside!

-We were the 2nd people to ever live in the apartment, when it was just one year old, and the berber carpet ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-01-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The main problem I have with Sonterra is the noise and the lack of concern over the problem. The people above me have a dog and a small child and I hear it all.

Sonterra II: Absolutely beyond awful (Not Recommending)

2002-11-25T00:00:00-06:00

From thisaptisawful: Previous reviewers have commented on the loudness of the tenants living above. We experienced this problem to the extreme. We complained to the management and we complained often but to no avail.

We have people that think nothing of parking their vehicles in front of our garage for hours on end, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: Good but loud (Recommending!)

2002-08-31T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The main problem in Sonterra is that you basically hear every footstep from people that live above you. It is the worst I have ever experienced in any apartment I´ve been in. Lots of dogs barking as well.

Other than that, fairly nice place. Nice pricing currently too.

I moved into Sonterra II while they were

Sonterra II: Horrible is too light a word (Not Recommending)

2002-05-07T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The absolute worst apartment experience I have ever had...and getting worse.

Since the number of apartments on FM 620 has increased, the quality of tenants has decreased. I have watched large families being welcomed into 2 bedroom apartments. The number of men moving in sporting mullet hairdos and using their garages ... [click to read full apartment review]

Sonterra II: ok, but expensive (Not Recommending)

2002-04-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Staff was relatively nice, but some amenities weren´t available. Apartment living in Austin is not fun and I do not recommend it. Buy a home or rent a trailer first.
