What we found

Frank and Yailien's recent leadership has drawn consistent praise for friendliness and responsiveness, with residents noting clean spaces and fast maintenance turnarounds. However, this turnaround masks a long history of neglect: older reviews document rats in walls, roach and bed bug infestations, broken mailboxes, and a pool shut down by city health authorities-complaints that lingered for years under prior management.

The property sits at a crossroads. Five-star reviewers from the last year credit Harbor Group's improvements and pest control efforts. Older one- and two-star reviews from the same location describe hazardous conditions and management indifference. The 51% five-star, 39% one-star split reflects two different eras of the same complex.

Praised for
  • new management team responsive and caring
  • staff friendly and helpful (Frank, Yailien)
  • clean, well-maintained community
  • pest control and bug-free maintenance
  • timely maintenance requests
Watch-outs
  • severe pest infestation (rats, roaches, bed bugs)
  • chronic maintenance failures and slow response
  • broken mailboxes and security issues
  • pool repeatedly closed by health department
  • trash and recycling not collected

FAQ

Has the pest problem been fixed?
Recent reviews (last year) report the complex is now pest-free and bug spray is applied. However, the property's history includes documented rodent and cockroach infestations under prior management. Current conditions should be verified in person.
Is the pool always open?
The pool has been closed multiple times by the city health department. Current status should be confirmed with management.
What is the move-in experience like?
Recent reviewers (2-4 months ago) report Frank and Yailien made the move-in process stress-free, handled requests promptly, and provided patient support.

Alma Cherrywood

4.2(53)✓ Google-verified

Alma Cherrywood draws strong praise for newer leasing agents like Gabriela and recent maintenance improvements under Adrian, with residents feeling heard and respected. However, serious complaints persist: one tenant documented rodent feces, German cockroaches, and filth throughout the unit; another reported open drug use and harassment on the property alongside management's neglect. Staff quality and property conditions appear uneven across both time and tenure. When leasing works well, the experience is smooth and welcoming. When maintenance fails or tenant safety issues arise, management response seems inconsistent and sometimes punitive. Recent positive reviews focus on specific staff; older ones cite ongoing pest, cleanliness, and security problems that suggest systemic rather than isolated failures.

Most residents experience a welcoming community with responsive staff, clean units, and reliable maintenance. Sabina attracts UT and law students with proximity to campus, a quiet setting, and regular social events. However, elevator maintenance and one leasing agent's handling of customer inquiries and availability information have created friction for prospective tenants. The property offers spacious apartments with modern finishes, in-unit washer-dryers, and outdoor spaces. Long-term residents report consistent professionalism from renewal and maintenance teams. Prospective residents should verify current availability and pricing directly before touring, as website information has not always matched leasing conversations.

Aura Thirty2

3.7(205)✓ Google-verified

Most residents praise the friendly, attentive staff and the immaculate, modern appearance of the property. Maintenance typically resolves work orders within 24 hours, and amenities like the pool, gym, and event programming create a genuine community feel. The location near UT Austin and downtown is a consistent draw. A vocal minority reports serious problems: late-night noise from parties, slow email responses from the leasing office (10+ days), theft of packages, and complaints about soundproofing. A few residents claim maintenance quality has declined over time and describe management as unprofessional after lease signing. These issues appear concentrated, but they contradict the stronger positive trend.
