Resident 2002 - 2005

2/11/2005

I lived in the Coutyard for 2 1/2 years (Aug 2002 to Jan 2005) and it was my best apartment rental experience so far. Recommended to me by my former boss at work, I sought out the Courtyard after hearing nothing but good things from colleagues who had lived there when they wanted a rental location central to downtown with a neighboorhood feel. I didn't have a car while there and rode my bike down the sidestreets into downtown to work when I didn't use the bus, also convenient. The area has cute houses nearby and shopping, cleaners and the popular SOCO area of Austin all within walking distance. Each first Thursday (festival on South Congress Avenue first Thursday of every month,) as I was coming home from work I would see people hoard the available spots on the street to park their cars - I was thinking... I can just walk to that... The Courtyard's pool is immaculate, and a place to spend every extra summer moment in.<br><br>If something is required maintence-wise, Jesus-the maintenance guy is there for us, fixing things right away but beyond that, we were asked if anything looked like it might need to be fixed in the future, call it a solicitation of preventative maintence. This denotes a concern for the tenant and a concern for the upkeep of the property. <br><br>Lisa, the apartment manager, should win some sort of property management Oscar for her continued efforts as a manager. She is a great person, willing and able to do what it takes to make you comfortable and feel at home. I was very happy to see Lisa's efforts regarding recycling once I moved in. There are areas on the property to deposit glass, plastic and tin which is collected frequently. While I was living there, there was an annual spring sale to allow residents to sell items they didn't want any more to the neighboorhood and an end of summer afternoon cocktail party at the pool with music. I got the idea this was standard at the Courtyard but that could change in the future, I don't know.<br><br>You'll find an eclectic mix of satisfited tentants at the Courtyard, who know they have a good thing and are happy to stay there. I miss the place, and the great feeling I remember being a part of that community.
