The Hudson on Lake Travis

"Heed the warning of other 1-star reviews (all true) and avoid this place. Building construction is a joke. You really can hear your neighbors like they're in your apartment, mgmt/owners/elevator are also a joke, and they're building a Phase II, so you will be living in a construction zone. They are so inconsiderate and incompetent with just basic "maintenance," that I can't imagine how miserable it will be to live there while they're building another apartment structure. As others have already said: the view is noooooooot worth it. Take note that many of the 5 star reviews are from many years ago (two are from a married couple who have been in business with the owners in the past). None of the tenants we knew there were happy at all, and yes - everyone texts each other about the "resort living" they advertise = not even close to resort living."

"View NOT worth it. Mgmt/owners cheapskates, cut corners even w/ serious MOLD health issues. Tenants joke it’s “resort living,” bc bldg Mickey Mouse-ed together. STONEWALL PROPERTIES = STONEWALL YOU. MOLD & MAINTENANCE JOKE Maint is rude, incompetent, DANGEROUS. We found mold flooding HVAC, ductwork, drywall. 7+ months nothing done, couldn’t safely use living space. Moved rather than continue to deal w/ dangerous indifference & negligence (if not for Covid we’d moved sooner). Continuously ignored mold inspector’s recoms to safely remediate, repeatedly forced to follow-up bc no communication/progress happening. To be repeatedly forced to re-explain inspector’s recoms was stressful & exhausting. Bet they still haven’t done recoms. If you’re living in #64/ANY unit, check your HVAC & ductwork. MAJOR CONSTRUCTION ZONE Building Phase II, don’t respect tenants w/ start/end times. Circular saws cutting stone at 8am for hours/day for weeks without warning. Owners don’t care, mgmt ignores you or placates & does nothing. Never trust what they say, quadruple timelines. INSULATION & CHEAP CONSTRUCTION No insulation walls/floors. Constantly hear neighbors like in same apt. Quality sub-par. Ex: Exhaust vents flap constantly & loudly. Installers confirmed wrong, bldg didn’t want to fix. Increased energy costs due to leaks. 2020 ice storm, owner ONSITE didn’t turn heat on vacant apts. Fire sprinklers exploded flooding many units. We’re top floor, had heat on so not affected. 12+ units affected causing tenants to vacate as water poured on them&their property, freezing temps to traverse icy roads. A nightmare which, w/ competent mgmt/owners, could’ve been avoided Unnerving creaking sounds. Hope everyone stays safe, sadly won’t be surprised if bldg. crumbles, owners found grossly negligent, legally liable. FIRES & FIRE ALARM Alarms day/night. Owner runs around like clueless imbecile OR pretends to be tenant so new tenants don’t know he’s resp for incompetency they’re subjected to… Drunk aggressive tenant FIRE PIT ON WINDY BALCONY. Fire Dept came, told him put out. Next week second fire. Fire Dept came/told him put out AGAIN. I contacted owner, he emailed saying nothing but, “If place caught fire, you’d have few hours before it’d burn thru wall.” WOW – reassuring. On 6th floor w/ young son, enjoy being alive, sentimental possessions. AGGRESSIVE DRUNK NEIGHBORS - MGMT DOES NOTHING Violently aggressive tenant blast music, yelled obscenities, had illegal “boat captain” co. from apt. Loud groups incl kids so drunk they stumble around/get carried by friends. Tenant first terrorized tenants on lower flr. Mgmt did nothing despite continued complaints. After nicely asking to not play LOUD, NON-STOP BASS til 3am, he started yelling thru our door. Very scary for our family. Mgmt did nothing. The mgr said, “We have plan” - their “plan” was do nothing. Drunk neighbor on 5th floor had DV altercation w/ gf, slamming doors, screaming threats = mgmt did nothing. ELEVATOR ALWAYS GOES OUT: Plan on stairs OFTEN. FRONT GATE UNRELIABLE: People/deliveries can’t always access & thieves/vandals get in. BAD Wi-Fi: Inconsistent, routers aren’t in each unit. MAIL / PACKAGE DELIVERY IS JOKE Delivery issues, bldg knows, don’t care. Bldg keeps mailbox on road, sep from cluster mailboxes, confusing for delivery people. Items worth hundreds left side of road in rain. Bldg said they’d put sign for deliveries, never did. DECEIVING PICS Major drought, area NOT like this. Inaccurate 2.5 yrs old pics exact rep of how dishonest owners & mgmt will be. MARINA CONSTRUCTION Renov for years & windy storms cause more damage. Far from serene & peaceful. INFURIATING “COMMUNICATION” Hard to be this incompetent. Tenants text each other asking, “Is this real? HOW is it possible to be THIS incompetent & inconsiderate to tenants? Farthest thing from “resort life” advertised.” No on-site, mgr lives Waco, may sound good but no timely responses-even emergencies. Many times I sent mgr text to let her know what’s happening."

"I loved living here, and was so sad when it was time for me to move! Living right on the lake like that is dreamy, and all the people were so nice. I really miss those gorgeous views!"

"Awesome place to live if you love the water. Nice big boat Dock with lots of slips. Friendly people and lots of activities to enjoy. Very relaxing!!"

"Gorgeous property, easy lakefront access, stunning vistas, and the loveliest breeze coming off of the water. Opportunities for swimming, fishing, grilling, boating, and lounging abound! We were given a tour of the property by Jake, a genuinely friendly & informative fellow. Overall, the Hudson seems like a fantastic place to live!"
