It is a good apartment complex, but the price has been increasing and you might be able to find a better deal elsewhere.

The hallways are regularly cleaned, the staff is usually responsive, and the gym is good enough for most people.

One annoying thing is that trash is $25 a month and you have to use their trashcan. The trash service is supposed to pick it up every night there is not a holiday or bad weather. They have recently been missing pickups and there has been no partial refund for the service we paid for and didn't get. They used to include the trash service in the rent price, but they have started pushing more costs in addition to the rent price instead of including it.

I do not know of any cars stolen from the parking lot, but there have been stolen cars parked in the parking lot and left there.

I highly recommend Elan East for UT students in general. The property is located in East Austin, close to great restaurants and bars, in a more relaxed part of the city. It’s a great option for families or anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of campus and downtown. While the property isn’t the newest in the area, the apartments are more spacious, which more than makes up for it.

I’ve lived in Austin for 10+ years and this complex and area of town is one of the best I’ve lived - so many places are walkable - there’s a sidewalk that literally goes all the way to the school. Bars and cafes are right next door and I’ve always felt safe! Multiple MBA students live nearby as well and there is a bus stop right outside the complex that takes you to McCombs in under 10 minutes

Overall the management is great, very responsive and friendly. The location is convenient to campus and directly on the bus line. Amenities such as gym, pool, dog park are fun and the building hosts events for the residents.

The staff is responsive, the main hallways are cleaned weekly, building overall is in good shape. The main water boiler is nice, I have yet to run out of hot water. The apartment gym is good for an apartment gym, dumbbells up to 55 lbs, smith machine, cable machine, rowing machine, treadmills, bikes and some other machines. Right beside a bus stop to get to campus. Complex overall is young professionals.

Paying for trash pickup is slightly annoying, I do not like the provided trashcans. Parking is first come first served unless you pay for one of the covered parking spots in the garage. The walls might be on the thinner side, but since it is an older population noise isn't really a concern. I have only complained about someone else's noise once.

The location is pretty great. It is only about 5 mins drive from Rowling. It's about a 10 min drive to the Guadalupe Garage, where I am currently parking my car each morning. The parking is $50 and there are always plenty of spots. It is also close to HEB and other shops.
The apartment itself is very clean and appliances are fairly new. The complex is also pretty and the common areas are very nice.

I love my apartment at Elan East! My apartment is beautiful, maintenance comes fast, management is responsive, and the amenities are really nice -- trash pickup, pool, gym, lockboxes for your deliveries.

This is one of the best apartments I've ever lived in. It's a luxury apartment but has a home-y and comfortable feel. The staff is really helpful and nice, everything works well, and communication is good. Also the 20 bus line stops literally right in front of the apartment complex and takes you straight to school in less than 5 minutes.

I seriously have no complaints other than that it's expensive! And they make you pay a $50 convenience fee for paying rent each month, which is basically like another set of utilities, so if you decide to live here add another $50 to your rent!!!

great location - very close to campus and there's a bus stop right outside the property that takes you to campus. Buses run all the time.

Very lovely and friendly management! Other residents are super nice. Overall, have had 0 issues and will renew.

Great bus stop to class out front. Nice amenities too. Wouldn’t pay more than I am right now for it though.
