Gables Residential

Big apartments and near the metro as well as a few grocery stores. Convenient location right on ponce and US 1. Management and maintenance aren’t the greatest. It is hard to get help when an issue arrises.

It’s a 10 minute walk (if that) to campus each day and in a pretty safe neighborhood (especially since it’s neighbors with Homeland Security). The staff are quick to respond to any questions or needs, and the other residents are friendly (many of whom are other AU students!). Highly recommend!

Apartment complex is infested with roaches. Management is aware and has no solution. The apartment complex is unresponsive to tenants and has lost mail multiple times. The fire department and police are consistently at the building. This complex takes advantage of AU students knowing they have very little options in the area.

The amenities are nice, and the upgrades are excellent. Maintenance is punctual unless it involves air conditioners. My air conditioner was broken for 3 months in the middle of the summer before they were able to put in a new one. There were no concessions for my astronomical power bill for running their temporary portable air conditioner window unit. Staff was rude when I would call for updates. Crime is picking up in the community as well. Pick your battles. We have crime but the actual building is nice.

Gables City Vista

Expensive but close to campus and very well kept!

Great spot. Will live here after graduation.

Older building but feels very homey and quiet yet still close to campus and dining. Best part is walking distance to a grocery store.

Gables Central Park is great for pet owners! The property is right next to Central Park which offers a great space to walk your dog. Central Market is also right next door so grocery shopping is extremely easy. The bus route picks up right outside and it's about a 7 minute bus ride to campus.

The location is amazing - close to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Lake Austin, and all of the downtown amenities. The only drawback is the train can be loud as it passes right through the apartment area. I would recommend this property if you're willing to pay a premium for location and convenience.

Access to everything you'd want in downtown Austin!

Gables Central Park is wonderful! Awesome pool and gym. Central Market is right in the backyard, less than a 5-minute walk. Quick access to multiple bus stops along W38th Street. Less than a 10-minute drive to UT Austin campus. Get anywhere in Austin in under 25 minutes.

Highly recommend! Great value, very friendly management, 10 minute drive to RRH.

It's a great place to live, dog friendly and super spacious. While rent is a little higher, I have a larger unit. There is 5+ bus lines right next to the complex that will take you directly to campus.

I have enjoyed living at Westbrooke Place. The building is a bit older in architecture and decor, but the apartment units have been recently remodeled. My studio is fairly spacious and has a ginormous closet and in-unit laundry. There is a small gym in the building. The biggest perk of living at Westbrooke Place would be the location. It's on the border of Dupont Circle and West End, close to the Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom Metro Stations. The GUTS Shuttle is only a 12 minute walk from the apartment. I frequently walk into Georgetown, which is just over the bridge. My only complaint would be the management. Maintenance can be slow and management has been changing, but it's a great place for the price, overall. It can also be a bit noisy because it's near GW Hospital, so there's multiple sirens sounding throughout the day.
