Good locaiton for grad student

404 Rio Grande is a good Apartment building with a nice pool area and location. The units are on the larger size but can sometimes be in a strange layout. Being so close to the bars is a huge plus and you can't hear west 6th once you are in the building. It is a quick drive or scooter to campus that only takes about 10 min.

404 Rio Grande

The location absolutely cannot be beat - close to the Hike and Bike trail, Trader Joe's, and the West 6th Street bars. Security has been a bit of an issue (my bike was stolen out of the parking garage our first week here), but I think that's characteristic of any of the downtown complexes that have gate entry systems (vs. a doorman). Otherwise, we LOVE it here - the walls are thick so we don't hear our neighbors, and we don't get the noise from the downtown freight train.

Quirky apartment in a great location

Location is fantastic and parking is free. Apartment itself is 15 years old but unit interiors have been redone recently. Trash disposal is a big pain. Rent is very much at market rate for the area. Some apartments in the building have nice features (ex. front doors onto the street or working fireplaces)

Less Expensive Downtown Living

Pros- spacious apartments; parking included; free visitor parking; perfect location; nice view of Shoal Creek; updated finishes in most units; responsive management team
Cons- lots of construction around building but that may change; small gym; lacks fancy amenities of surrounding buildings; no 24-hour concierge;

Great Location, but...

Living at 404 is about figuring out your priorities. If you want to be one block away from the West 6th bars, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Core Power Yoga, the new library and much more, then give this place a chance. The bus to campus is a block away, parking is included, and all the units have recently been renovated. Downsides are that the pool is small (actually under renovation at the moment), the gym is smaller, and the overall quality of the building is lacking if you compare it to surrounding apartments. Still, you'll be paying a few hundred dollars less per month for a 1br than you would at Monarch, Seven, Gables Tower, etc.

Great location

Great location, but that's really it. Management is okay, I've definitely had better in the past. Several noise complaints have gone unattended & for the price, we really could live somewhere else, but real estate 101: location, location, location!!

Great location

Great location, but that's really it. Management is ok, office closes earlier than normal business hours. Several noise complaints, but it's all about location, right?

Downtown Austin Reviews

81 reviews
This is a great neighborhood. It's not as hectic as it may sound. There are tons of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. We have Trader Joe's and Whole Foods within a short walk (Trader Joe's is 42 seconds away). There are so many bus routes that it's easy to get anywhere (including school). It's a little pricey, of course, being downtown, but I thought it was worth it.

The river, with the running/walking trail, and kayak rental spots is super closeby.
Downtown Austin is where all of your friends that live elsewhere come Thursday-Saturday nights. Depending on where you are in downtown, you are never more than a few blocks away from great food or nightlife options, and there is always plenty going on. Plus, you have tons of public transport options, easy access to Lady Bird Lake and the trail system, and the new library is a great spot to study.
The neighborhood is located in DT austin near bars, restaurants, and shops. It's walkable to most places west of I35 and there is public transportation near the complex. The neighborhood is pretty safe but I do hear about some problems with car break-ins because the garage gates are open most of the time.
Downtown is a great landing spot if you are moving from a large city. I moved from DC and found the downtown Austin scene to be immediately familiar.

I would recommend it if you have no ties to Austin and don't really have an idea or preference on where to live.
You can walk to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or 6th Street and access to Town Lake is a 5 minute walk as well. Really centrally located and easy to get to other parts of the city by public transport when needed.
By far the best area to live in if you want to go out to bars and restaurants on a consistent basis (which you most likely will once you have an internship lined up).
Great neighborhood! Many other students live in the properties around Gables West and its proximity to nightlife and the river is unmatched.
The neighborhood itself is relatively quiet, mostly office buildings. It's west of campus but across 15th street. The block is quiet but it's easy walking distance to N Lamar and 15th Street for bus transit. The neighborhood itself is great for pets but management doesn't allow pets in the building.
