One of the best communities I’ve lived in so far, and I’ve moved around in Austin!

It’s been great living at The Breakers for one full year!

The Breakers Apartments offer easy access to the Ann & Roy Butler trail, where you can jog, bike, paddleboard, and more! These older apartments are charming and cozy, with plenty of large trees to provide shade from the Texas heat. Management, staff and maintenance are courteous and prompt!

I have enjoyed staying at Breakers for the past year. The best part of the apartment is access and proximity to the Lady bird lake and Downtown.. I love taking walks on the trail every evening. Views of the lake and sunrise from my apartment are really good. Community is lively and peaceful and safe. Management staff are approachable and genuine. Service requests are addressed and solved quickly. The homes are slightly old, but I have not experienced any major issues.

The community here is very nice and respectful. Anytime we have needed maintenance, they're reliable and quick. The rest is a good price point compared to similar apartment complexes. Free coffee from the office, pool is always clean. Also Paige from the main offices is an absolute gem, crown of the Breakers honestly. You couldn't ask for nicer staff.
