Don’t Move Here - Don’t Let the cheap rent fool you DO NOT LIVE HERE! This apartment complex has to be the worst in Austin. First off, I lived in a 2 bedroom apartment where my bedroom would flood every time it rained. I'd have to use my bath towels to try and soak up the water until maintenance would come (2-3 days later). They told me they didn't know where the water came from (because I had already cleaned it up and it had been days). It took them ~ 3 months to come out and "try" to solve it. Every other day I had to go t... read more

okay price but not worth it Poorly managed, property seems nice until you look closely and see things are not properly maintained. It’s a great location but management makes changes to save money regardless of if it’s inconvenient for renters. Only positive is the front pool which is frequently closed

BEWARE OF PARKING As a resident you are now required to register each time you have guest. They are allotted 6 free day passes until they have to pay to park with one guest pass per resident. Avoid this complex like the plague if you ever plan on having family or friends over. 

Business response:

Hi fellow Reviewer! New changes can be frustrating. All resident feedback is being considered. As the new system rolls out, I’m confident management will update the visitor parking policy as needed once the system shows how many guests are coming, etc. in order to make it work for residents and their guests and assist the community with unauthorized vehicles and assist the areas where residents have very limited parking like by building 2-5. We appreciate the responses as this policy takes shape.

High Rent Increases The property and location are okay for the price, but the recent rent hikes are outrageous! I've been here two years and my rent has hiked $500+. There are such few amenities for the amount we pay to live here and the security is terrible. LOTS of homeless as well. There's a camp behind the Greenbelt that's hosting a large group. This is making the "trails" they advertise false. 

Business response:

Hi there. We’re disappointed by your feedback. We’d appreciate the chance to go over your concerns and discuss solutions so please contact us at retreatbc@avenue5apt.com/ 1 512-444-1471. We’re confident that we can turn your experience around. We look forward to hearing from you.

Great location, overcharge fees Location is great, apartments quite old, same as appliances. Expect to see cockroaches all the time. Make sure to see the unit days prior to moving in, as if not you’ll find it poorly cleaned up and probably painted; we received a unit with all the construction remains on the patio as the odor of the paint so strong that had to go to a hotel while it cleared. They won’t offer any help or apologies, but they will make sure to make you pay for everything. We gave our leave notice 3 days prior to... read more

Great Place, Only A Few Issues Solid place to live. Been here for just over 5 years and have had very few issues. One of the few issues I've had were a few instances of A/C and water heater in the apartment above mine leaking, but management and maintenance have been on point in getting the issues fixed ASAP. My compliments to managememt as well for giving me a little extra time on my lease for moving out due to a construction delay. My biggest issue has been security. Being located near a few overpasses, homeless will occas... read more
