What we found

Residents and agents consistently praise the leasing team, especially Bryan Marte and Nick, for going above and beyond with patience and responsiveness. Units are spacious, modern, and clean, with standout amenities like the pool and proximity to EastVillage shops.

However, some long-term residents report serious friction on exit: excessive move-out charges sent to collections, unresponsive management during disputes, and lingering maintenance issues like pest problems and limited cleaning schedules. Parking demand exceeds supply, forcing many to pay for reserved spots.

FAQ

Who are the standout leasing staff?
Bryan Marte, Nick, and Connor are named repeatedly for responsiveness, friendliness, and going above and beyond-Bryan especially for answering calls after hours and staying late to help residents.
What's the parking situation?
Supply is tight; 30-50% of available spots are reserved, requiring extra payment. Open spots are hard to find by midday, and management reportedly takes days to respond about carport requests.
Are there pest or maintenance issues?
One resident reported a three-week gap before pest control visited, then never showed; trash and spider/scorpion issues persisted. Management later addressed it; power washing done, but cleaning frequency remains sporadic.

Leasing staff excel at first impressions, with Miles, Gabrielle, Amber, and Cody earning consistent praise for attentiveness and tours of the spacious, modern units. The community fills a desirable North Austin location with strong amenities. Tenants face persistent friction over thin walls, delayed maintenance requests (despite note systems in place), ongoing construction noise in newer buildings, and serious complaints about security deposits held beyond legal timelines and insufficient communication around move-out charges.

Tenants consistently praise the leasing process and staff warmth, particularly highlighting Melanie, Liz, and Cody's attentiveness. The modern building, amenities, and responsive maintenance team draw strong approval. However, a small subset report uneven front-office professionalism, strict visitor parking enforcement, persistent pest issues, and early utility calibration glitches. Most residents view these as manageable in a new property. The community excels at pre-lease customer service, from unit measurements to transparent pricing and preferred employer discounts. Staff go beyond typical scope to ease the move. Maintenance handles issues quickly, though some eco-friendly design choices required adjustment. Visitor parking limits (7 days per month before lease addition required) and associated tow fees have frustrated some; complaints suggest enforcement feels overzealous given visible available parking.

Reviewers often praise the leasing team's warmth and maintenance's speed, along with attractive amenities like the gym and spacious layouts. However, noise bleed between units is consistent across complaints, move-in conditions have been substandard (urine, mold, food stains), and pest issues persist despite weekly spraying; some tenants also flag deceptive lease-renewal practices and construction defects that worsen over time. Maintenance handles work orders within one to two days, yet recurring problems (broken dog park gates, garage flooding) go unfixed for months. The office staff-particularly Ava and Victoria-drew specific praise, but the broader experience splits sharply: engaged residents enjoy the community; frustrated ones cite bait-and-switch tour practices, vague move-out charges, and a pattern of ignoring maintenance requests that don't fit management's priorities.
