It has been a great experience so far. Only been living there for about a week but I love how centered the location of the apartments is, the neighborhood is very calm.

Everything is mostly good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Thankfully, I haven't had to call maintenance yet for anything. The floor plan is definitely small but good luck finding anything in Austin that isn't. It's cozy and I like the vaulted ceilings and the layout actually gives me a surprising amount of floorspace to stretch and do yoga. My only complaints are the walls are quite thin and I wish they would install no-slam cabinets.

Location is unbeatable and prices are affordable! I've been here for two years now and think it's great if you prioritize being close to downtown. It's also a safe area.
