What we found

Leasing staff make a strong first impression: Rashod, Miriam, and their team earn consistent five-star praise for professionalism, warmth, and hands-on help during tours and moves. The units themselves are well-appointed with stainless-steel appliances, granite counters, and resort-style pools. However, the property unravels after move-in. Residents report slow or absent management response to serious issues: unattended emergency maintenance calls, broken elevators left offline for days, water damage with no resolution, and fire alarms triggered by shower steam. Security concerns dominate later reviews: car break-ins, unsecured building doors that open from inside with no lock, homeless people wandering hallways, and garage doors randomly left open 24/7. Communication is a bottleneck. The AI phone system disconnects calls; emails go unanswered for days or ignored entirely. Several residents describe feeling unheard on critical problems, leading them to drop ratings mid-lease. Avoid the South Building if possible; the North Building is reported as better-maintained. Expect to advocate loudly and document everything.

South building experiences more security issues and maintenance problems; North building pool and upkeep are more reliable. Pet policies are flexible if you obtain an ESL letter. Frustration peaks when promised resolutions do not materialize: one resident was locked out for four hours with no apology from management; another had a security deposit held despite a written agreement to the contrary. This is a paradox: the leasing team is the best part; living here is a long complaint.

Praised for
  • responsive leasing staff (Rashod, Miriam, team)
  • welcoming, accommodating during move-in process
  • units and amenities quality
  • pet-friendly policies (ESL waivers offered)
Watch-outs
  • slow/unresponsive post-lease management
  • security gaps (cars broken into, unsecured doors, homeless people entering)
  • poor communication (AI bot, unanswered emails, unreachable by phone)
  • maintenance delays and issues (emergency calls unanswered, water damage, fire alarm problems, elevator down for days)
  • inconsistent management practices (security deposit disputes, insurance charge errors, lack of follow-up on problems)
responsive-managementpoor-communicationwell-maintainedunresponsive-maintenancerenovated-unitssafe-secure
Best for: People comfortable advocating for themselves and wanting upscale finishes, willing to tolerate post-lease management challenges.
Think twice if: Unresponsive post-lease management, security concerns, and slow maintenance response are deal-breakers; communication and building safety are serious weaknesses.

Resident ratings

Luxury Apartments

FAQ

Is Sur512 pet-friendly?
Yes. Pet rent and fees are waived if you provide an Emotional Support Letter from a therapist; staff encourage this route.
Which building should I avoid?
The South Building has more security concerns (homeless access, unsecured doors, garage doors left open) and maintenance issues. The North Building is better-maintained with a more reliable pool.
How responsive is management after move-in?
Leasing staff are helpful during the signing process, but post-lease communication is slow. Emails take 3-4 business days or go unanswered; the AI phone system often disconnects. Going in person reportedly helps resolve issues faster.

Prospect

Prospect wins strong marks for leasing staff who walk residents through paperwork and move-in with patience and speed. Airian, Priscilla, William, and Kelsey earned repeated praise for going beyond typical customer service. The complex itself delivers: modern kitchens, high ceilings, a pool, work-from-home offices, and a botanical courtyard draw residents in. Early occupancy can bring pest and maintenance headaches-roaches, ceiling leaks, dumpster issues-that demand tenant persistence to resolve. Once staff attention shifted, residents who pushed back found problems fixed and built confidence in the team. Clean common areas and responsive staff feel inconsistent in some accounts but are strong once momentum builds.

4.0(296)✓ Google-verified

Residents report consistent satisfaction with professional maintenance staff who complete requests within hours and knowledgeable leasing teams who guide applications smoothly. Staff members Freddy, Fallon, Jared, Val, Dominic, and Philip are named repeatedly for their attentiveness. The property maintains clean common areas and hosts resident events; the South Congress location offers quick access to downtown, breweries, and coffee shops despite Highway 290 proximity. Security concerns emerge: one resident reported a car stolen from the parking garage over a year-long lease, and package theft despite staff holding items at the desk. The resort pool, modern finishes, and dog park draw praise. Pricing is perceived as fair relative to comparable South Austin complexes. A small number rate the experience lower, citing safety gaps in the paid garage.

Residents consistently praise the leasing team (Cristal, Kris, Saiah) for personal attention and the caliber of amenities, from the hot tub and parking garage to the fitness center. However, serious maintenance problems undercut the experience: black mold in units went unaddressed for months, security is lax with package theft common, and deposit returns have been mired in bounced checks and delays. One renter also reported wrongful towing tied to misleading parking signs. The property's appeal hinges on staff warmth and location near South Congress, yet the gap between leasing-office friendliness and management's responsiveness to infrastructure failures is stark. Dog owners find genuine value in the pet amenities, and move-in speed is a real strength, but health and financial trust issues have left a growing cohort of residents frustrated enough to depart.
