Mid rise apartment in great location on the lake. Coffee shop across the street and very close to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Only major negative is that it’s next to the train so avoid apartments on the north side of the building.

Direct access to trail around lady bird lake; central location is convenient for getting to campus, downtown, or south of the lake. Can get congested outside of the apartment complex. Rooftop pool is great in the summer!

Great amenities and great place to live if you don’t have a car! Walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, bars, etc. lots of students in program live here too!

The Park Plaza is conveniently located for almost everything you need: school, groceries, restaurants/bars and the lake/hike bike trail. A lot of MBA students end up living here or nearby so it helps with making friends too.

Pros:
- Proximity to Whole Foods and Trader Joes
- Close to 663 bus line that runs directly to UT
- Walking distance of West 6th Street
- Easy access to Town Lake running trails

Cons:
- Expensive if living alone
- Train is loud for certain apartments in the building

Great location, nice amenities, not cheap but worth the price.

Gables park plaza has great apartments with the best location being right across from town lake and a 5 minute walk to trade joes, Whole Foods and west 6th

I have really enjoyed my experience at Gables. However, the nearby train is definitely something to be aware of when you are choosing your specific apartment. We face in toward the courtyard and it isn't much of an issue. Our bathroom is also connected to the bedroom which is a bit annoying when having people over. This is not the case for all layouts though.

Great place to live. Great location and the people are very friendly. Glad I made the decision to move here. The units are spacious and the closets have tons of room for storage. The price is on the expensive side but that's the price you pay if you want to live in Downtown Austin. I barely drive my car so that compensates a little bit.
I highly recommend this location.

Gables Park Plaza is in a fantastic location. Everything is close by, and on the higher floors the view of Downtown Austin is amazing. My main complaint is that many of the people that live here are inconsiderate. There are a lot of loud parties on the weekends that continue on well past midnight and some of the people that live in this building don't clean up after themselves or their pets.
