For 3 years I lived at this apartment complex, starting about 8 years ago. I loved the look of the place, but at the time it was recently renovated and still fairly fresh-looking. There was a lot of good things to say about it following the renovation, and the pictures above don't reflect that initial vision well. This complex is in a fairly run-down part of south-east Austin, and the residents there were mostly students or poor musicians. The interiors of the apartments were nice, I felt, for what they were. Stained concrete floors, brushed metal counters, creative lighting fixtures, etc. I admired what they were trying to do with the place, but that vision deteriorated ended shortly after the renovation was completed. The place went downhill extremely fast, both in management and occupants, and it never lived up to its promise. Today I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and shudder to think of living there again.
