Great location. Across the street from the famous franklins. Little older building but for its location and price you can not beat!

Quick walk to 6th street (4 dollar Uber ride)
Rainey (6 dollar Uber ride)
Easy access to highway 35 without having a lot highway noise
1.5 miles to the Facebook office
Rental bike rack by the main office
Very helpful and supportive staff

You can't beat this location for the price. Less than 1 mile from downtown so you can walk to 6th Street, ride your bike to Rainey St., walk to work if you work downtown. Great amenities and management. (Though the female leasing agents can be kind of ditzy or fake). Also, they never pick up the phone in the office for some reason (unless David is working - he's the best!)

The only bad thing about the price is the valet trash fee of $25 a month. It's a rip off service, but I guess it keeps residents from putting their garbage in the hallways (which they are sort of doing anyway by nature of service...) so yeah, the halls can sometimes smell like garbage.

Parking garage is good and feels safe. Never had any issues. They do try to schedule social events sponsored by local companies, so that's cool. There are a ton of younger working professionals here too so it's easy to meet people by the pool.

Amenities are nice - they have a pool, "clubhouse", conference room, gym (equipment could be better though or maintained better - how about an elliptical with grips/arms?), and a free coffee machine in the clubhouse. The lay out of this place is kind of a nightmare though, it's like a maze and friends have a hard time getting in when they come over. So that kind of stinks.

Management is great. The guy who is the main manager is awesome. Very understanding and easy to work with. The property is also pet friendly, including big dog friendly. They seem strict about the breeds, but I think they are really only strict about pit bulls (so if you have a dog you want to get that's on the "aggressive breed" list, talk with the manager guy).

The apartments are newer too or at least updated, which is nice. No real maintenance issues either, but if you have one, they come right away and fix it. Safety is kind of a thing here though, and there's some shady people sometimes outside but that's the nature of an urban area. The worst is during ACL and SXSW though, but other than that, it's okay. Would definitely live here again!
