What we found

Most residents praise the leasing team-particularly Airian, Priscilla, and Will-for attentive help through the application and move-in process, and the property itself for its clean, modern look and amenities like the pool and gym.

However, several long-term residents and recent applicants report serious issues: slow communication (taking 4+ emails for basic responses), management approving applicants for units already rented, pest infestations (roaches and ants), and inconsistent hallway maintenance. These problems suggest the business excels at first impressions but struggles with ongoing operations and accountability.

Praised for
  • responsive leasing staff
  • clean, well-maintained property
  • smooth move-in process
  • helpful office team
  • modern apartments
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and slow email responses
  • management oversight (unavailable units approved)
  • pest problems (cockroaches, ants)
  • hallway cleanliness and upkeep
  • unresponsive office staff

Think twice if: Consider elsewhere if reliable ongoing communication, pest-free units, and consistent maintenance matter to you; several tenants reported slow responses and cockroach/ant infestations.

Living at 44 South brings consistent praise for staff attentiveness and fast maintenance turnarounds. Residents highlight the modern finishes, resort-style pool, and proximity to downtown Austin and South Congress as major draws. However, car break-ins despite gated parking, surprise convenience fees on rent, and occasional noise complaints temper the experience for some tenants over a 2-3 year stretch. The leasing team (especially Jared, Fallon, Freddy) earns repeated mention for going above and beyond during tours and lease approval. Maintenance staff like Val, Dominic, and Philip respond quickly and explain their work. Package security appears improved with front desk holding. The South Austin location near Lady Bird Lake and dog parks appeals to long-term residents.

Many residents love the leasing staff (Cristal and Kris especially), unique artistic vibe, gym, pool, and hot tub. Move-in support and maintenance response are frequently praised. However, sustained complaints center on dirty hallways, aggressive towing and parking enforcement, inadequate noise complaint handling, and black mold that was poorly remedied rather than fixed. Community cleanliness and management responsiveness have declined over time. The building attracts residents who value design and proximity to South Congress food and bars, but prospective tenants should tour common areas carefully and ask directly about noise policies and the towing company's relationship to the complex. Staff turnover appears to have affected consistency in management oversight.

Leasing staff, especially Rashod, earn consistent praise for making the move-in process smooth and welcoming. Once residents settle in, the experience diverges sharply: some report no issues, but others face recurring mold, broken appliances repeatedly, non-working amenities charged monthly, and security gaps that let unauthorized people enter buildings. Management becomes largely unreachable after signing, emails go unanswered for days, and emergency maintenance is distant and slow. The gap between the sales experience and post-move reality is stark enough that some long-term residents weigh leaving despite liking their units. Reviewers name specific staff members (Rashod, Miriam, Diane, Christian, Andy) who excel at onboarding. For those who encounter maintenance or safety problems, the business offers little recourse: no rent relief during uninhabitable periods, no compensation for contractor theft, and no apologies for egregious failures like a multi-hour lockout. Pool, gym, and common areas suffer from neglect and break-ins.
