AMLI Downtown

AMLI Downtown

3.9(87)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Five-star reviews highlight spacious units at competitive downtown rates, with staff like Heather and Alejandro delivering white-glove service during leasing and maintenance. One-star and mixed reviews reveal systemic frustrations: the off-site leasing office makes real communication nearly impossible, especially for renewals and service issues. Packages frequently go missing from unsecured exterior locations, elevators often sit broken over weekends, and long-term residents report management prioritizes new leases over existing tenant retention. The building's industrial charm and pool area appeal to those seeking exposed concrete and high ceilings over modern finishes, yet the trade-off is operational wear: fire alarms sound regularly (some tape theirs over), utilities on older units spike unexpectedly, and wall-damage fees apply broadly due to textured surfaces. Maintenance staff respond quickly when reached, but the lack of property-based presence leaves residents stranded for package guidance, guest entry, or weekend emergencies.

Residents and prospects consistently highlight the leasing team's care and Adrian's ability to make the tour process engaging and informative. The spacious floor plans, full amenities (pool, sauna, gym, yoga classes), and commanding water and city views draw repeated praise, with residents reporting genuine satisfaction post-move-in.

AMLI on 2nd

4.1(102)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

AMLI on 2nd delivers strong finishes, thoughtful staff, and direct access to downtown Austin's restaurants, shops, and venues. The team-especially Heather on leasing and Alex Garcia in maintenance-earns consistent praise for knowledge and responsiveness. A built-in dog park, two pools, and a gym anchor the amenities. Residents and locators should know that Wi-Fi drops above ground floor, codes arrive in hard-to-read formats, and monthly fees run high with surprise additions like $150 summer charges and aggressive move-out deductions. The 4.1-star average reflects strong execution on building quality and location against complaints about nickel-and-diming. Parking validation was recently cut from 6-12 hours free to 2 hours, and complimentary lobbies perks have shrunk since recent residents moved in.
