Austin Midtown

"Horrible. They will constantly charge you with extra hidden fees each month. This place seems like a good deal on paper but the management makes this place one of the worst places to live"

"Great community. Ideal location. It is apparent there is a lot of effort and care that goes into the upkeep of the community. Management (Joseph) is very responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly cares about the residents. He made the move-in process super easy and smooth and goes above and beyond the call of duty."

"The maintenance staff here right now is super solid. Rick, Todd & Gabriel are all friendly, communicative, and do good work. They recently went above and beyond fixing a previous repair that was poorly done, while working on a related, current repair (without me having to even ask!). Great guys - I hope they stick around!"

"I just moved into Austin Midtown from the west coast but im from the east!!! I have a way better apartment here than I used to live in the quality is much nicer. The main thing for me is the sound I hear the traffic is very very loud!! Regards to the other reviews I have not seen any homeless around at all, which did make me nervous but never had trouble. Also the construction if there was at Walmart is no longer there. The wallmart is pretty big and I was able to get most of what I need. There is tons nearby!! I choose this area because I wanted to be able to live nearby the gym. I liked being able to walk to la fitness and its right nearby!! The other issue to consider is where u are working. Many of the BBQ place are more downtown or if you work there u might want a car to avoid a 50 min bus ride. I did not have any trouble as I was already in rent cafe except I wasn't added to the portal. The manager did it the day rent was due. The setup and application was great since I came from out of state. So you might need to check with them to add you since the managers are busy. Some apartments in austin I heard crazy things about but this one is fairly nice. I also liked that they had the specific days of availability because I had to get an airline ticket. Other places didn't know ahead enough always. Some didn't have washing machine. I've been pleased so far just the traffic noise has been a bit!! I think the only reason I might move more close to downtown would be if I ended up working there. I love my new apt and the space the only complaint I've had is the traffic is loud and when the person walks above me I literally hear every step they take and the cealing shakes!!! That's reason enough for me to move downtown. The advantage of the first floor is that it's hardly hot at all so far!"

"Great location within walking distance to restaurants and shops, close to major highways and relatively quiet, residents are friendly and staff is responsive to keeping units well maintained. Poor with security, and since they recently raised rents it's embarrassing they haven't installed Security Cameras yet OR announced plans to. Sticks out for LACK of security--the office park next door, auto shops across the street, the new apartment construction site and even Shriner's temple nearby ALL have security cameras but Austin Midtown does NOT. Becoming a gated community would admittedly back up surrounding traffic routes so I do NOT understand why they haven't installed cameras on the many lamp-posts or other many vantage points in the complex. Despite repeated e-mails from CWS to residents to personally be more vigilant as local crime increases, most things reported are cars being broken into, tampered with or homeless people getting into the laundry facilities; things cameras would deter. They don't seem interested in cleaning up homeless camps/traces of in the surrounding creek area 10-20 feet from parking spaces. Would recommend picking a unit where you can monitor your car at all times if possible. Otherwise, very nice village atmosphere that's preferable over one big enclosed apartment building and overall pleasant living experience."
