I have lived here for almost 4 months now and I enjoy it overall. A couple minor maintenance requests haven't been fulfilled yet, and the apartments are on the older side. However, my apartment is pretty clean, the office staff is fairly responsive, and the amount of square footage per dollar is insanely good. I plan to stay for quite a while if things remain this good. The only annoying thing that's happened is that the community was visited by a flower pot thief; several units had flowers and decor items stolen off their front porch. Management doesn't really have a response other than having their night patrol be more diligent (I hope), which isn't particularly helpful since one of my pots was stolen in broad daylight. It's one of those random things that make you scratch your head. If it stays at flower pots, however, I guess it could be a lot worse. My packages have been left alone :)

Poorly maintained - during a two-year tenancy, water kept seeping in whenever there was hard rain. Management was informed multiple times and they sent someone out to adjust the sprinklers, which made absolutely no sense. Several ruined pieces of furniture later, we moved, with no attempts to repair or to address our own losses. Then, of course, we receive a letter afterwards billing us for repairs. I have managed multi-tenant properties (residential and commercial) for a decade, and I am surprised at the lack of proper maintenance or even attempts to address a constant water leak like this. Video and photo attached. There are also constant roaches of varying sizes, regardless of the number of traps we wasted our money on.
This is our weekend AB&B Me and my girlfriend love taking late night strolls through the lighting bugs to the pool. Where its do peaceful at night. And a plus is they have the biggest collection of rocks! Very friendly neighbors, they invite you to BBQ during this pandemic. Thoughtful! Its perfect. 5 stars!!
I've lived at Villas for the last six and a half years and there's a reason it's been so hard to leave! The office staff truly cares about their residents (shoutout to Megan, Karla and Bridget!) and they're quick to respond. Maintenance is fast and efficient. Quiet community. One of the biggest draws is that you're in an area that is a hop and skip away from everything - Mueller, the Domain, Downtown, etc. You get the convenience of being close to three major roadways to get you everywhere quick but don't have to pay a hefty price for it. I'll definitely miss living here.
I've lived here for four years in two different apartments while going to UT. I think when reading reviews it's important to keep in mind that people feel a lot more motivated to write bad reviews than good ones. For Austin I think these are good prices for good apartments. Considering I've seen and learned about the prices and problems of tons of my peers living situations, I would rate this place very high. That's not to say it's perfect, and every unit and tenant will have their own problems that others won't. My first apartment had a very bad leaky window when it stormed, and as a student it takes a long un-fun bus ride to get to campus if you don't drive. The outside building facade is pretty bland and gross, and the kitchens are brown and small, but there are lots more positives than negatives. The upper floor apartments get lots of natural light, maintenance comes quickly when you put in a service request, no one is ever towed and there's always parking, management has always been kind and friendly to me and has always been willing to work through problems I might have - the list goes on. I regularly encourage my friends to move here. I know there are other living situations out there that are better, but for me these are a close second and finding that perfect place in a city like Austin is very hard. I think that I will only ever move out of these apartments when my income increases a good amount, so I'd say don't count them out.
