The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Decent but pricey apartments (Recommending!)

2008-09-25T07:43:01-06:00

From karebearx: These apartments are on the pricey side, but it comes with the area, I suppose. You are 5 minutes from the Arboretum and 10 minutes from most restaurants on Jollyville and 183. Traffic at the intersection of 360 and Spicewood Springs/Bluffstone is slow during rush hour, but not unbearable. They ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Best apartment I have lived in (Recommending!)

2008-09-02T16:08:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived at this complex for 2 years now and it has been the best apartment I have lived in. The location is secluded and quiet along a tributary to Bull Creek. There is no security gate mainly because of the natural barrier of the creek and surrounding hills. ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Nice place, pretty expensive (Recommending!)

2008-01-25T15:29:14-06:00

The details also make it nice, crown molding, arched window in living room ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Big Disappointment (Not Recommending)

2007-10-12T15:35:54-06:00

From MissAustin: After reading all of the good (and bad) reviews for this place, I just had to add mine. I lived at Gables Bluffstone (when it was part of the Gables community) from the summer of 1998 until the end of November, 2001. I found the management and the maintenance personnel ...

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Mostly great (Recommending!)

2007-06-17T23:42:20-06:00

From stef315: I wrote a comment on the last review about problems with heat and water. The only other issues I've had are the pool is smaller than the picture makes it look (I rented only after seeing online). The trash dumpsters always have raccoons--mostly at night but there was on in ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): New management AWFUL compared to Gables (Not Recommending)

2007-06-15T23:13:08-06:00

From goelsm@gmail.com: I have been living in this apartment complex for a few years now and have seen a HUGE difference between how Broadstone handles its residents and how Gables did. Basically, my rent has gone up considerably, the people at the front desk are remarkably rude, and security is a serious ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): a bit pricey but i have had a great stay (Recommending!)

2007-04-07T15:46:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have renewed twice since moving to Austin. The rent has definitely gone up each year, but after looking around a bit I haven't found a comparable place to justify a move. I see deer all the time and my balcony faces a golf course, so it's secluded. I was ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-10-23T09:36:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I signed my lease with Gables bluffstone but, by the time i moved to Austin and moved in, the management has changed. At first i wasn't worried but, now that its time for me to renew my lease, i'm going else where. Why?

When i asked about renewal time frames ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): This place is horrible (Not Recommending)

2006-08-02T12:08:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is probably the worst managment in Austin. If you like to be lied to attacked by dogs and pay 4 times the amount for water then I suggested signing a year long lease wit these people. I leased with the apts when they were the bluffstone which was ok ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Gables Management were LIARS (Not Recommending)

2006-07-31T17:39:14-06:00

From bostonnow: I moved out in February of 05, PAID them to clean my carpet and worked hard to leave my apartment in 99% almost perfect condition. If the same crew are there today, make sure to do a walk through before you move out so you don't get stabbed in the ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Change is good (Recommending!)

2006-06-30T11:44:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for 7 years and I loved the Gables. Just like everyone else, I was worried about the change in management and just like all change, it was bumpy at first. Then I found out the "new" manager was the same Gables manager that was here for years ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Don't even think of moving here if you want management (Not Recommending)

2006-06-24T09:58:49-06:00

From bridgeplayer53@yahoo.com: I had to move out. It was a great place when it was Gables. Management was friendly, supportive, cooperative. NOT these people. It's like they enjoy being offensive.

AND BUGS! When it was Gables, they exterminated. It's over ridden with cock roaches now! And silver fish and spiders. You can't ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Things are getting worse (Recommending!)

2006-06-19T14:34:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Since Gables management left things started to deteriorate in the community. The place is nice but it is difficult to enjoy the amenities. There is only one pool and barbeque and most weekends you will find a big party going on. There is a sign saying that one guest per ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): WAY DOWN HILL since Gables (Not Recommending)

2006-05-18T18:45:20-06:00

From sooodisappointing: The noise from upper aptmts is terrible. BUT, when Gables managed it, the staff was wonderful, responsive, knew the residents and cared. When Broadstone took over, all the good things went away immediately. I called very times to meet the manager. She NEVER returned calls - always had the underling ...

2006-03-24T16:41:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for two years from June 2005 to June 2006. I was in a 3/2 apartment with an attached garage in the front of the complex. I enjoyed the complex and think it's a good place to live for the area. There's easy access to 360, Mopac and ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): watch out! (Recommending!)

2006-03-06T19:51:24-06:00

From ssingh45: this place is really great! except for the daily traffic of possums, deer and RACOONS that live in your balcony (if you live on the first floor).. not to mention how my cars were both scratched up in the parking spaces because the car spots are too tight, probably because ...

2004-10-31T15:36:34-06:00

From yuppielady: I have only lived here for a few months but I really like it. It's very quiet, and there are lots of trees - it doesn't feel like a concrete wonderland like a lot of other complexes in Austin. The amenities - pool and workout room - are small, but ...

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Could live in a house for less rent and avoid snobby management. (Not Recommending)

2004-05-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I can't wait to move out of this place. The parking is bad, they give the better off snobby people better prices on garages than people like myself who could use a good deal. This is the second gables complex I've lived in over a 4 year period. I would ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): Wonderful! (Recommending!)

2003-11-26T00:00:00-06:00

From pumerdean: I lived in Gables for 1 year, and am only leaving because it´s too far from the heart of things and a little too expensive.

Our rent actually went down after 9 months, which made it hard to leave. We found it to be safe and the ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Broadstone at Great Hills (formerly Gables Bluffstone): 2 thumbs DOWN (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: This should be considered an upscale apt complex. It has paper thin walls. I can hear the neighbors upstairs having a conversation. The bathroom is the worst room to hear neighbors. I shouldn´t be able to hear normal noises.

The parking is horrible! The spots are tight and on hills. ... [click to read full apartment review]

I have a gorgeous 3 bedroom/2 bath. It´s spacious, but I do wish my master bedroom was just a little bit bigger though, since my king-size bed is a bit oversized ... [click to read full apartment review]

From germaator: A way overpriced place to live, if you can afford this, you better get yourself a house. Sure the view is nice to see deer and wildlife if you live in one of the apartments that has a view to the woods and the creek. But security? The gate never ... [click to read full apartment review]
