What we found

Residents who stick around praise the newness, amenities, and especially Jessie and Mary-staff who handle lease paperwork smoothly and respond promptly to maintenance issues. The catch: paper-thin walls mean neighbor noise bleeds through badly, some leasing agents have been dismissive or condescending during tours, and cabinetry feels flimsy. Move-in experience hinges on who greases the wheels.

Parking and common areas stay clean, and the weight room, pool, dog park, and pickleball courts draw regulars. Early tenants have felt the honeymoon glow of a brand-new property. Later ones bump into loose enforcement around quiet hours and loose build details. Worth the tour if you prioritize staff warmth and amenities, but tour with someone you trust to flag walls and ask hard questions about lease incentives upfront.

Praised for
  • attentive, named staff (Jessie, Mary, property manager)
  • new, well-maintained units and amenities
  • responsive property management
  • smooth leasing process and welcoming atmosphere
Watch-outs
  • thin walls and poor soundproofing
  • inconsistent leasing staff conduct and tone
  • build quality below standard (cabinetry, drawers)
  • package retrieval limited to office hours
responsive-managementfriendly-staffwell-maintainednoisy-neighborsclean-common-areaspoor-soundproofing
Best for: First-time renters or families who prioritize new construction, amenities, and responsive staff, and can tolerate some neighbor noise.
Think twice if: Sound-sensitive renters, anyone wary of unpredictable leasing staff behavior, or those needing sturdy built-in storage and deep shelving.

What this place gets right

  • New construction with modern finishes and layout
  • Attentive leasing and management staff (Jessie repeatedly praised)
  • Amenity-rich (fitness, pool, pickleball, dog park)
  • Convenient Southeast Austin location near highway access

Before you tour or apply

  • Jessie praised in 7+ reviews for leasing support and ongoing helpfulness
  • Mary (property manager) noted for responsiveness and personal attention
  • Brand-new units mean most are first-tenant-attractive but no tenant history
  • Dog park and dog washing station available
  • Induction stoves standard (may require new cookware)
  • Package room access limited to leasing office hours
  • Early residents report noisy pickle ball play extending to 11:30pm on weeknights

FAQ

Who handles the leasing process?
Jessie is specifically named in multiple recent reviews as exceptionally helpful during applications and lease signing. She is noted as a regular friendly presence at the front desk.
How accessible is the package room?
The package room is inside the leasing office, so access is limited to office hours. Late-night or after-hours retrieval is not possible.
Are units furnished with kitchen cookware?
No. Stoves are induction, so you will likely need to bring or buy compatible cookware.

Leasing staff, particularly Leticia Cantu, earn consistent praise for genuine care and smooth move-ins. However, resident cleanliness and maintenance issues undercut the luxury positioning: persistent trash in common areas, stairwells, and parking lots, plus an eight-month pool closure with no repair plan. Noise complaints and management responsiveness remain unresolved for some tenants.

Five-star residents consistently praise the leasing and maintenance staff-particularly Jorge in maintenance and Arleen in the office-for professionalism and care. Units are spacious with washer-dryer connections, grounds stay clean, and the community welcomes pets and families. However, one-star reviewers report serious safety concerns: car theft, window smashing, robbery, and weak perimeter security. Residents say management refuses to share security footage and dismisses incident reports; some note pest problems and chronic parking shortages. The sharp divide between tenure (loyal multi-year residents) and newer tenants (citing deteriorating conditions) suggests ongoing property management and security gaps. Staff competence does not offset fundamental safety and maintenance accountability issues residents face. Parking is consistently cited as inadequate. Pest complaints span months. Multiple accounts describe management as dismissive rather than solution-focused when confronted with security incidents.

Staff deliver genuine warmth during leasing and daily operations, with maintenance crew (especially Rigoberto and José) earning repeated praise for upkeep. However, residents report thin walls letting neighbor noise bleed through, hot water outages lasting weeks, delayed maintenance response, and a shift in tone once leases sign: some staff become dismissive of resident concerns, and package theft remains a recurring security gap despite system upgrades.
