MAA Barton Skyway

"I worked with Sandy to lease an apartment at MAA Barton Skyway. I was happy working with her, but unfortunately, that's where my good experience has ended with this property. My request for reasonable accommodation was denied, I've lived in two other communities in Austin and have never had any issues getting this approved. I requested my deposit be refunded, since I can't comfortably occupy the unit. This request was also denied. I asked to escalate the issue and was told the property manager would reach out to me. It's been almost 3 business days and I haven't heard from anyone. If this is how business is conducted, perhaps this was all a blessing in disguise."

"this review goes to Rudy, the maintenance super. He's quick to respond to tickets and thorough. The complex would do well to keep him on staff as long as possible"

"3 months into my new Austin home and I still love it. While the decor may not be “updated” it is well maintained and functional and attractive. The foliage on the property is also well-maintained and provides shade over most of the walkways. The staff are friendly, efficient and respectful."

"When my wife got laid off while we were living in DFW we last minute decided to pack up and move to Austin. She went down to spend a day looking at apartments and Sandy showed her a unit. It was outdated, for sure. But the large patio backed up to trees, you could see the skyline from the top of the hill and enter the greenbelt from the bottom. We signed a lease that day and spent nearly 5 years in that apartment. We eventually outgrew it and moved out, but what a place! We loved walking our dog around the property and he loved sleeping on the porch and kept a watchful eye out for the many critters (armadillos lived under us, racoons, opossums, squirrels, and the occasional snake and coyote!) We loved walking to Zilker, hiking the greenbelt, and shopped at Thom's and Taco Deli more times that we could count. The pool (while a mosquito magnet) feels private and peaceful, it's not a party pool! The trees kept it cool during the sweltering summer days, we miss it the most. Sandy is a saint and can't imagine that place without her! Rudy is also the best maintenance person I've ever had. Always prompt and efficient. Our dog gets anxious when people come by, but he loved Rudy. Cons? of course: trash compacter was broken more than it worked, gym is outdated, pool chairs rarely fixed, open parking led to many car door dings, and the dog park was useless (and bugs, but you're on the greenbelt! pro tip: don't remove spiderwebs near your doors, the best natural bug repellent!) But the price, location, safety, and neighbors made it to where it wasn't even a thought of whether we would resign."

"The location of the apartment complex is stellar. The complex is surrounded by parks and hiking trails, while still being less than a five minute drive to downtown. Sandys upbeat attitude and informative nature always made interactions in the office fun and enjoyable. Thank you for three years!"
