Resident 2013 - 2014

Hillside Villas was never a great place to live, but at least it was par and the staff was friendly. Here is the rundown, I paid $747 base rent for a 545 sq ft second floor apartment. Austin Utilities charged at most $86 dollars during the summer for light, water, and sewage. However, Hillside villas also charged sewage, trash, pest and water, which was at times MORE than Austin Utilities bills the last bill I got from them was at almost $100 for only 21 days! A 545 sq ft apartment base rent is currently going for $700ish and last month I saw it as low as $660. NOT WORTH the money. If you are there already, DO NOT RENEW! they wanted me to renew at $850 per month for the same apartment that they were posting at $660. Now that the new owners Avenue 5 has taken over, it has become really overpriced and terrible staff. They have increased the base rent price by over $100 and more than doubled the water and trash bill they charge on top of that, before it was around $25 on top of your base rent, now they charged $67 dollars on top of base rent. I guess they want to turn a profit on utilities also. So whatever price they quote you just know to add your trash and water bill which will probably be $60 to $70 dollars on top of that. And when you add your own utilities with the city of Austin you are looking at quite more. There are plenty of other options around! Besides that issue, they have a rat and roaches problem. And YES I said RAT not MICE which I am sure they also have. As a final warning here is what their new ad should be WELCOME to HILLSIDE VILLAS, where we could care less about customer service! We hope you enjoy our amenities, like; ï?¼ Sinks and water that smell like sewage ï?¼ No microwave in units ï?¼ 4 communal washers for the entire complex that either don't work and/or full of pet hair, not to mention pricier than going across the street ï?¼ Our ---- parking policy where even with a guest pass sticker on the windshield you probably will get towed, at your expense of course ï?¼ A complete lack of care if you have a problem in your unit ï?¼ Plenty of late fees, thanks to the misleading rent payment policy, which even though you have until the 4th of the month to pay you will be considered late if not paid by midnight on the 2nd of the month This award winning lack of service can be yours for an over price amount, and if you have less than zero expectation for any type of service.
