Marquis Parkside

I applied for a one-year lease for a two-bedroom apartment at this community while relocating from out of state to Texas for a new employment opportunity in the Austin area.

Despite having a solid credit profile (approximately 650–700), minimal debt, strong verifiable income, homeownership in Upstate New York, and no history of evictions or criminal issues, my application was denied. The denial was attributed to unspecified items identified by a third-party screening service.

After paying a... non-refundable application fee of approximately $200, the leasing office was unable to provide any meaningful explanation beyond stating that the screening company makes all approval decisions. No details, clarification, or accountability were offered by management.

While I understand that screening criteria exist, the lack of transparency—especially given the cost to apply—makes the process feel one-sided and applicant-unfriendly. Ultimately, I was left without housing options through this property, out the application fee, and forced to restart the search elsewhere. Lee mas

The apartment units have issues with bugs, and the management does not show the actual apartment until the last possible day. This has been the worst management experience I have encountered in my five years in the US. I reserved an apartment, and just two days before my scheduled move-in, I was informed that it would not be ready for another 15 days, the best part is they informed when i walked in on Friday as my move was secluded on Sunday. My current lease had expired, which made the... situation especially difficult. Throughout this process, the management repeatedly shifted responsibility onto the college staff, despite both groups representing the same company. Lee mas

This place is beautiful! new management has made the biggest impact on this property - it's amazing. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking up North Austin. From the fantastic amenities to a great staff. The team here is the best team this property has ever had. Location is great, prices are fantastic, and the newly renovated community is worth it!

I have lived here for about 4 years. It was a good place to live before the management changed and has become better since the current company took over! The office personnel are friendly and do everything they can to resolve any issues you may have. Maintenance sometimes may take a bit, but not too long.

The property feels pretty secure and feels safe even at like 3 in the morning. I have never had any problems with noise, but lots of families live on the property so that may be a part of that... .

It's conveniently placed right by two major highways and has every store you could need within a couple of minutes. Plus lots of food places deliver here.

Overall a very excellent place to live! Lee mas
