404 Rio Grande 404 Rio Grande Street, Austin, TX 78701

"My husband and I lived at 404 Rio Grande for two years and absolutely loved it! The only reason we are leaving is because we're moving out of Austin, but I would've been happy to live here for longer! The location is hard to beat- it's a less than 10 minute walk to the Lady Bird Lake Trail, a 5 minute walk to the heart of Seaholm where there's coffee shops, Trader Joes, restaurants, and places that we can get appointments done (hair salon, dentist, eye doctor), and it's really in the center of Austin so most places we frequent are no more than 10 minutes driving distance. And if you like sports bars, West 6th street is 2 minutes walking distance. The area is more residential, so it really feels like a little tucked away corner of downtown which we really loved. We've also really appreciated the management here and how well organized it is. Alexa, Shea, and all of the maintenance staff are wonderful. We've had to make very few maintenance requests, but when we have they've been resolved in 24 hours or less, usually within a few hours of putting in the request. They also don't skimp out on you when there's issues in the apartment. For instance, when our dishwasher broke, the maintenance team attempted to repair it initially. However, the issue persisted and after submitting a second maintenance request the next day, they promptly replaced the dishwasher that same day. We've also really appreciated the free parking/guest parking. I never have to worry about friends having to deal with paying to visit our apartment or anything like that, and there's always ample room in the parking deck. Overall, all of the neighbors here are very chill and respectful. The apartment is only a street over from bars, so sometimes people can be rowdy on the weekends in the hallway while walking back to their apartment, but it's never been an issue where neighbors are yelling through the night, partying by the pool, or anything of that nature. We also lived here with our dog and I was pleased with the interactions with the other pets that lived here as well and never worried about running into a neighbor with an aggressive dog. Alexa is also great at handling any issues you might have with specific neighbors and takes interpersonal issues in the apartment seriously. I really appreciated this because with apartment living, your neighbors can really impact how enjoyable it is to live there. There were hardly any issues with other neighbors, but I wanted to mention it because a lot of apartments don't take action if a neighbor is being inconsiderate, but 404 Rio Grande does. I've always felt safe in this area, and I love that the apartment and garage are gated. We didn't take advantage of this, but one thing I loved was that we had the option to transfer our lease if we ever saw another unit open up that we liked better. So if you ever want to upgrade to a two bed or see a unit open up that you like better, you can just transfer your lease to that unit without breaking your lease. The only suggestion I have is to take out the fitness facility and turn it into free bike storage. I did have my bike stolen out of the parking deck, but Alexa warned us before even signing a lease that bikes have been stolen out of the garage, especially if you have a bike lock that can be easily cut (which I did). We kept our new bikes on our porch after that, but it would've been nice to be able to put those in a locked storage room in the apartment complex, and given that the fitness facility is so small and doesn't seem to be used frequently, I think it could be better used as bike storage since bike theft out of the garage is a known issue."

"Lived at 404 Rio Grande during my one year stay in Austin. The apartments are spacious, parking is very hassle free and management is responsive. Area is also very central and convenient. Very happy with the 404 rio grande."

"I lived at 404 for the last 1.5 years and have only moved because I had to move for work. It is adjacent to all the action on West 6th Street but far enough away that the street noise doesn’t reach the building. Unlike every other apartment complex in Austin, garage parking is included in rent, and spots are always open and hassle-free. The building is concrete, meaning you do not hear your neighbors, and they do not hear you! The pool is never crowded, and the hot tub is heated year-round. Management is responsive and not overbearing. I had a great experience living at 404, and I am sad to go. Thank you all!"

"Best place I have ever lived! I never want to leave and it has made my Austin experience a 10/10. Super close to everything and safe + right next to Lady Bird Lake. It’s the best location EVER! Staff is extremely friendly and so accommodating. Alexa and Shay are the best property managers. They are always there to help and so kind. They are so efficient and on top of it! Maintenance gets things done right away, Pedro is the best! Most amazing apartment building I have lived in. I could not imagine living in a better apartment complex!"

"I've been residing at 404 Rio Grande since June 2016, and it has been an incredible experience! The apartments are modern and well-maintained, and the soundproofing is superb; we never hear our neighbors. The location is simply fantastic - within walking distance of numerous restaurants, coffee shops, Trader Joe's, vibrant nightlife, and the beautiful Ladybird Hike and Bike Trail. I must give a special shout-out to Alexa and Shea in the office; they consistently go above and beyond to assist us with anything we need. If you're in the market for an apartment in Austin, 404 Rio Grande is undoubtedly the best choice!"
