Living at Cole has been an absolute delight. The spacious interiors of my unit provide a sense of openness, and the natural light flooding through the large windows creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The central location is a huge plus, offering easy access to shopping, dining, and recreational spots. The management team is incredibly responsive and friendly, ensuring a positive living experience.

In summary, Cole is a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a stylish and well-managed living space.

The apartment is in the Barton Springs/Zilker neighborhood so it is close to downtown and school and located on a major street. However, unless you plan to dine at fancy restaurants frequently or use Zilker/Town Lake everyday, the location is not that useful.

There are few quick serve restaurants (P. Terry's and Schlotzskys). Whole Foods and Trader Joes just across the river.

The pool is very small and does not get sun that much due to location. The gym is tiny and has old machines, a non functioning TV, and no hygienic wipes. There is no indoors common area for hosting guests.

Maintenance staff does a good job but I've never had as many maintenance issues with an apartment as I have had here (bad construction I guess), and they are too busy to really maintain the cleanliness of the building (trash chutes and areas are very dirty and there is broken glass leading from them to where the trash is picked up).

The management is attentive and friendly and responds to requests.

Lots of people have dogs but I would not characterize the apartment as a good one for dogs.

Overall this is marketed and priced as a nice apartment building and while the units are nice and it's in a desirable location, I don't believe it is a good value.

I enjoy my time at The Cole, especially because of the location. It's walking distance to Zilker Park which is crucial
