Close to West 6th, Whole Foods, Gym!

West Avenue is a wonderful apartment complex if you wish to be near the market district or West 6th. We are next to Pure Austin Fitness, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and walking distance to many amazing restaurants and bars. Violet Crown Cinema is also walking distance. In addition, Town Lake trail is within a few hundred feet!

Great spot

Best decision I could have made. Great location in close walking distance to everything. If you're okay with the price, I would highly recommend the place. The amenities are awesome with great view over Downtown and the Lake. Neighbors are very friendly and close to most bars.

Perfect DT living

I love living here! It's so close to all my needs and the community has this lofty feel that's different than anything else in Austin.
Trader Joe's across the street, plenty of restaurants, coffee, and bars close by. Plenty of street parking for when friends come over and right near the running trails. Everything I need!!

Pros: free resident parking, great floor plans, clean community, great office staff.
Cons: Super small gym with minimal equipment.

Good location

Good location in the corner of downtown. Some units are renovated with newer appliances. Train noises are annoying at first but you get used to it. The elevator has no AC so it is very hot in the summer. More affordable than other buildings in the downtown area. New Trader Joe's opened right in front which is very convenient.
Overall a decent location. Not as flashy as the newer buildings but you still get to live the downtown lifestyle.Get to walk around on the weekends and don't have to drive to go out.

If you don't want to be downtown, there is really no reason to pay the premium to be here and if you really do want to be downtown and don't want to pay up, look at the 404 Rio Grande. If you have a roommate though and don't mind paying a bit more(~1500-1600 per person) and want an upscale experience, the Bowie is great. I don't know about the "neighborhood", but being downtown has been much more enjoyable than I had expected

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.

Awesome location! I love being downtown because that's where a lot of the good restaurants and bars are. I walk or scooter to a lot of places and don't have to worry about taking an uber or finding parking.

Can run into a few homeless people but on the whole it's a great area. Easy to walk to everything in the downtown area.

Rainey is a TON of fun on the weekends. The bar scene is great and it's a very young crowd looking to have fun. Keep in mind you're living in a "party" neighborhood, which can be both good and bad. The real downside is the lack of food options. It's only a 20 minute walk to work and is right next to Lady Bird Lake and the Ann Butler walking trail. I also feel pretty safe there.

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.
Reviewed by Austin Resident living at Skyhouse Austin
No nearby major stores or anything close within walking distance besides a few restaurants and bars. As I said before, some people may like living on Rainey, I don't think its necessarily a great place to live, maybe just a great place to go out occasionally. One perk -- close highway access on IH-35

Best neighborhood. Have I mentioned the Trader Joe's?
