It is just nice enough here to feel luxurious and fancy, but certainly not too much. Very prompt maintenance, good amenities, and a good distance from downtown so there’s not too much traffic.

Apartment building is very clean and well maintained. Staff is onsite every day to ensure any problems you are having are fixed right away. Bus stop for buses to school are located in close proximity and good grocery stores in walking distance. The building is full of working professionals and grad students and is very quiet. very pet friendly building with private dog park for tenant users.

Echo Apartments have amazing proximity to both the 801 and 803 which take you directly to campus. The Apartment is quiet, clean, and recently built. The management is also quite responsive to most requests and available 7 days a week. Only complaint would be that there aren't enough elevators and the storage space within the apartments is somewhat limited. In addition, there are many other MBA's that live in the apartment.

Great amenities, clean, friendly leasing office staff, free guest parking. In triangle area, so close to a few good restaurants, cafe, orange theory, etc. 10 min drive to Rowling. ~20-25 minutes for bus (including walking to/from stop).

Great building and we have a lot of first year students living here which is nice. It’s more affordable than downtown but super convenient to Rowling and still really nice place.

I really like living at Echo because of its location and quietness. It's very close to school - 30 min door to door by bus - and close to everything else. Also, the apartment is very quiet - no noisy neighbors.
Only thing downside is that the elevator is very slow, but once you get used to it, you will find a way.

The Echo has been amazing! It's a great location - less than 10 minutes to campus and close to great restaurants, workout studios, and grocery stores. The building has an amazing maintenance team and great amenities, with a gym, pool, grills, dog park, and free parking. I would highly recommend!

Living at Echo feels like my own personal oasis within this business school experience. Because we are consistently working together on class projects or interview prep, I realized that I wanted to live alone so that I could appropriately recharge, when needed. As soon as I walked into the model apartment at the Echo, I knew it was home. I loved the big windows that provided an abundance of natural sunlight. However, safety was my #1 priority when choosing an apartment. As a single girl living alone, having this sense of safety and comfortability was paramount. There is also no ground floor apartment option!

Regarding accessibility, Echo is right next to the Triangle. Residents can easily walk to plenty of restaurants, Orange Theory, nail salon, etc. There is also a bus stop right outside the apartment complex.

Living north of campus provides some trade-offs. You'll spend a bit more money on Ubers than the rest of your classmates to go out downtown or on Rainey St. as there isn't a nightlife scene in this neighborhood. However, my monthly rideshare budget doesn't come close to the price difference with a 1BR downtown apartment! Also, my drive to school in the morning in ~10 minutes. If I leave campus during rush hour, it'll take me ~20 minutes to get home (ask folks south of the river how long it takes them!)

My only negative review of this apartment is the elevators are so slow, and unfortunately, there are no stairs from the garage to the apartments. I'm more than content that this is my biggest complaint.

Highly recommend that you check out Echo if you want a quiet retreat that offers significant neighborhood benefits!

My only real complaint would be that there aren't discreet package lockers - so sometimes packages get left in the office and then they aren't accessible until the office opens.

There is a little dogpark out back and it is nearby a lot of cool places!

Echo is very convenient for getting to/from campus (sandwiched between the 803 and 801 rapid transit buses), is pretty well-furnished with new and modern appliances and has otherwise spacious accomodations and common areas. I would avoid renting a unit facing Lamar (it is noisy) and try to move in at off-peak times (weekday, e.g.) due to the significant constraints on space along 46th. To avoid over-paying, get on their list for pricing specials based on your size and space needs.
