Platform Apartments

Location is great and easy to get to campus. Apartments are nice. Gated parking is great, but paid on top - they also have free uncovered parking. Love having the gym in the building.

I really like living at Platform. Two dedicated bus lines to bring you to RRH as well as access to the train. Additionally, it is cheap and near everything. I like my apartment and have no real issues.

The management/leasing office workers are absolutely terrible and unhelpful! The valet trash and Fetch services are factored into rent but absolutely a waste of money. I have been fined for trash MULTIPLE times even though the guidelines are followed. Fetch loses almost all my packages that are from a party that isn't Amazon. Platform also cancels half the social events they intend to host. Very average apartment complex, only perk is several students live there.

Overall good apartment just a little higher price point then I would like.

Lots of UT MBA students. Great gym and pool facilities. In-unit washer and dryer and pet-friendly. The front desk staff isn't always the most responsive but all around, I've been pleased.

No complaints with the property itself. Bus 465 takes you straight from the apartment to the steps of the law school. That said, it is a little bit of a hike from where most law students live (in the neighborhood just north of the school. Overall, I'd recommend it.

Platform is right on the 18 bus line and is a quick 10 minute bus ride to Rowling. It is also along the metro line which takes you into downtown. The pools are great and there are grills and a good amount of space to hang out with friends by the pools. There are currently about 20 MBAs (both 1Y and 2Y) that live in the complex and the rent is fairly reasonable for Austin. The staff isn't always the most helpful but I really haven't had to deal with them much since living here. The only big downside is that the leasing office and therefore the printer and study rooms have limited hours/access.

Very close to school with nice amenities!

The apartment itself has very nice appliances, fixtures, and finishes, and the gym, pool, and other amenities are very nice. Unfortunately, the lack of exterior soundproofing (exterior-facing windows, walls, and doors) results in very loud ambient noises (E MLK Blvd and the train line are both incredibly loud throughout the day and night). I slept with ear plugs the entire time I lived here. The apartment staff are also subpar to the point of incompetence. I am not normally one to write negative reviews about petty things, but the office management and customer service is lacking. They do not seem to have any workflow process tracking to keep up with tenant requests/tasks. It took them from June when I submitted until December to process 2 referral bonuses with multiple office visits, emails, and phone call prompts and reminders. I had to restart the process multiple times and redo documents I had already sent, including a W-9 that had my full social security number on it (that they "lost"). Similar interactions happened with other requests I submitted to the office and never heard back from them. The maintenance staff is very good. I wish the office staff would improve their performance.

Love everything about the apartments. Helpful staff, quick maintenance, amazing amenities and perfect location.
