Close to West 6th, Whole Foods, Gym!

West Avenue is a wonderful apartment complex if you wish to be near the market district or West 6th. We are next to Pure Austin Fitness, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and walking distance to many amazing restaurants and bars. Violet Crown Cinema is also walking distance. In addition, Town Lake trail is within a few hundred feet!

Great spot

Best decision I could have made. Great location in close walking distance to everything. If you're okay with the price, I would highly recommend the place. The amenities are awesome with great view over Downtown and the Lake. Neighbors are very friendly and close to most bars.

Perfect DT living

I love living here! It's so close to all my needs and the community has this lofty feel that's different than anything else in Austin.
Trader Joe's across the street, plenty of restaurants, coffee, and bars close by. Plenty of street parking for when friends come over and right near the running trails. Everything I need!!

Pros: free resident parking, great floor plans, clean community, great office staff.
Cons: Super small gym with minimal equipment.

Good location

Good location in the corner of downtown. Some units are renovated with newer appliances. Train noises are annoying at first but you get used to it. The elevator has no AC so it is very hot in the summer. More affordable than other buildings in the downtown area. New Trader Joe's opened right in front which is very convenient.
Overall a decent location. Not as flashy as the newer buildings but you still get to live the downtown lifestyle.Get to walk around on the weekends and don't have to drive to go out.

Downtown Austin Reviews

81 reviews
This is a great neighborhood. It's not as hectic as it may sound. There are tons of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. We have Trader Joe's and Whole Foods within a short walk (Trader Joe's is 42 seconds away). There are so many bus routes that it's easy to get anywhere (including school). It's a little pricey, of course, being downtown, but I thought it was worth it.

The river, with the running/walking trail, and kayak rental spots is super closeby.
Downtown Austin is where all of your friends that live elsewhere come Thursday-Saturday nights. Depending on where you are in downtown, you are never more than a few blocks away from great food or nightlife options, and there is always plenty going on. Plus, you have tons of public transport options, easy access to Lady Bird Lake and the trail system, and the new library is a great spot to study.
The neighborhood is located in DT austin near bars, restaurants, and shops. It's walkable to most places west of I35 and there is public transportation near the complex. The neighborhood is pretty safe but I do hear about some problems with car break-ins because the garage gates are open most of the time.
Downtown is a great landing spot if you are moving from a large city. I moved from DC and found the downtown Austin scene to be immediately familiar.

I would recommend it if you have no ties to Austin and don't really have an idea or preference on where to live.
You can walk to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or 6th Street and access to Town Lake is a 5 minute walk as well. Really centrally located and easy to get to other parts of the city by public transport when needed.
By far the best area to live in if you want to go out to bars and restaurants on a consistent basis (which you most likely will once you have an internship lined up).
Great neighborhood! Many other students live in the properties around Gables West and its proximity to nightlife and the river is unmatched.
The neighborhood itself is relatively quiet, mostly office buildings. It's west of campus but across 15th street. The block is quiet but it's easy walking distance to N Lamar and 15th Street for bus transit. The neighborhood itself is great for pets but management doesn't allow pets in the building.
