Cole Apartments 300 South Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX 78704

"I have loved my time living at Cole Apartments! You cannot beat the location. You are less than a mile from Barton Springs, Downtown or South Lamar which I choose to walk to due to the paths and fun trails. The staff is very kind and responsive. You can tell they truly want us to enjoy our home. I live in a studio and the way it is set up makes it feel spaced out and open. The kitchen is rather spacious for a studio downtown. Neighbors are all nice and social. Highly recommend!"

"Local management generally nice. Tenant screening is fairly light compared to others. But they make up for it by charging premium rental rates. If you have applied elsewhere and were turned down, chances are they will approve your rental app here. According to latest rental stats, Zilker Park avg rental rates are 38% lower than downtown rates, yet these guys still charge same downtown rates. For that much, you should have brand new appliances. Internet connectivity is generally good. No complaints there. Location used to be good, that is until schlotzskies closed across street and has remained abandoned. Now rundown, lot unmowed and building covered in graffiti. Corporate does not seem interested in maintaining property. Still have not painted halls after reported 8 months ago. Not a big fan of the "scratch and dent" kitchen appliances used. Makes weird grinding sounds at night. Haunted? Various molding and surfaces peeling in the apt, as well as excessively scratched kitchen floors. Also, gnat infestation seems to be an issue. Have yet to see an exterminator here. Make sure you keep kitchen drains plugged and do not leave water in kettle or coffee pot. They did replace washer dryer after reporting issues several times where they were unable to remove excess lint buildup. Seemed previous tenants had removed lint trap. Newer washer dryer should really be standard in the Apts. It is much nicer."

"We have been at the Cole for a little more than a year and happily just renewed our lease in a new unit! The location is hard to beat, especially for the price. Our manager Savanna works tirelessly to keep things running smoothly and has been the absolute best manager we’ve ever had in our years of renting!"

"My husband and I lived at The Cole property for 5 years of bliss downtown living. We were on the second floor facing downtown (Toomey St.) Noise was moderate, but never a problem. The building is walking distance to restaurants and bars. Also loved that there is a little corner store a block away. Parking spots were included in the rent which for this close to down town is a luxury. This was the first build I've ever lived in where I LOVED the office staff, management, and maintenance staff. Everyone was always willing to go the extra mile. Only reason we left was bc we bought a house. If you're on the fence about living here don't be snag that open apartment!"

"My partner and I have been living at the Cole for almost 2 years now and could not have found a better place in Austin to live!!! Walking distance to Zilker Park, ACL, Blues on the Green, Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail, food truck park, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and the list seriously is never ending! Not only is the location unbeatable but the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I especially love all of the events they put on for the residents. And the apartment itself is such great quality. I have a killer view of downtown and have a nice open floor plan that’s great for having guests over. No need to look further, you’ve found your home!"
