What we found

Skyline divides sharply. Many residents love the location, greenbelt trails, pool, and leasing team (especially Susan and Jeremiah), and several long-term residents report management responding well during emergencies. However, a significant group reports persistent water damage, mold, cracking ceilings, malfunctioning appliances, and maintenance that doesn't follow through. Costs are also a friction point: laundry at $5.50 per load, aggressive towing, and repeated out-of-pocket repairs for preventable building failures. This is an older property where staff warmth masks underlying maintenance and accountability gaps.

Praised for
  • responsive leasing staff (Susan, Jeremiah, Andres named)
  • strong community events and amenities
  • greenbelt access and views
  • accommodating management during crises
Watch-outs
  • chronic water damage, leaks, and mold issues
  • maintenance unresponsive or incomplete
  • old building deterioration
  • high laundry costs and poor machine performance
  • aggressive towing and trash collection failures

Think twice if: You prioritize maintenance reliability, need appliance dependability, or have water-sensitive belongings; long-term residents report persistent leaks and mold.

Waters at Barton Creek Apartments

3.6(118)✓ Google-verified

Waters at Barton Creek has undergone a dramatic turnaround. Recent residents consistently praise Mary Anne and Miguel's maintenance team for their responsiveness and genuine care, noting the complex feels like home rather than a corporate apartment building. The property offers strong amenities (two pools, gym, dog park, kayaks, bikes), renovated units, and proximity to Zilker Park. Older reviews from 2019-2021 reveal a chaotic period: the complex cycled through at least 15 management companies, with persistent maintenance failures, pest problems, and rent-payment confusion. One long-term former tenant reported locked-in episodes, suspected mold, and water pressure issues. The current management team has clearly rebuilt trust and conditions, though the property's age remains evident.

Barton Creek Landing

3.6(148)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Barton Creek Landing's draw is clear: proximity to the Greenbelt and a maintenance standout named Jeff who handles requests same-day or next. On-site staff earn consistent praise for courtesy and effort. However, residents report a steep gap between marketing and reality. Corporate management levies surprise fees, refuses to itemize charges, and has sent residents to collections over carpet disputes. Pest problems (cockroaches, rats, scorpions) recur despite the location being advertised as premium. Pool temperature swings, a broken hot tub, and a gate app that regularly fails to unlock add to frustration. Water shutoffs lasting days or longer happen frequently, sometimes without proper notice. Residents note the buildings feel dated and rent does not account for these drawbacks. The on-site team tries hard but cannot override corporate policies residents find harsh. One long-term tenant called the complex "good value for upper mid-range living" and praised communication during the 2021 freeze, but this voice sits alone amid complaints about fee creep, maintenance delays at corporate level, and a disconnect between what is marketed and what is delivered. The location remains the strongest asset.

Barton Hills draws praise for its prime location, welcoming staff (especially Marlowe, Christopher, and Chelsea), and well-kept grounds. Many residents praise responsive maintenance and a strong sense of community. However, serious maintenance failures, pest problems, and alleged management misconduct in at least one case are documented in recent reviews, with complaints about AC failures, privacy breaches, and management's refusal to waive lease terms for health hazards.
