Amazing move in experience and overall great feeling living in this apartment complex. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They are a small company, so they are able to accommodate very well.

    After 7 yrs here I don't have any major complaints. Yeah there is normal stuff that needs fixing, but it is always taken care of as soon as I put in my request. I wanna stay here as long as I can keep affording it. I use the gym, which is nice, and nothing is ever missing or broken. Again, after 7 yrs, the parking is tight, but I've never lived some where that they have a night manager to call or such an active tow company. The grounds are well kept and they have had all the same stuff since I moved in. Christ and Eden are extremely helpful, and are always there when you call not a machine.

      I have always had a good experience at the complex. This is my second time to live here, and the reason I returned is because of the excellent customer service and support I've received. I will gladly recommend this property to my friends. I love this place!

          Satisfied. Approximately 9 months at residence. Apartment and community are clean. Feel safe. Neighbors nice. Staff excellent. Worst part about residence is that garage is on exact opposite side of complex as apartment... requires carrying bicycles and other items upstairs and stored in apartment that would normally be kept in garage. Requires taking up a second parking space near apartment bc distance to garage is illogical for parking vehicle in certain instances.

            Great apartment complex! Maintenance is fast, Christa and Eden in the front office are very nice. Our apartment layout is great, lots of counter and storage space and lots of natural light. This is the best apartment in the area for the rent.

              Great location, extremely dog friendly, amenities are well kept, and management is extremely caring and helpful. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time at retreat at north bluff. They have made our relocation to Austin that much more enjoyable.

                Right from the beginning I loved this place. The office staff always has gone above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and is on a first name basis with what seems to be all the tenants. They are friendly and prompt with any issues or needs that arise, as well as maintenance. The location is perfect- it's definitely a retreat because it's easy to miss when driving by but a huge plus is how quiet it is given the location. Quick access to 35 and a lot of really good places to eat. I never had any noise complaints or any issues with other tenants, and living right by the swimming pool it was so nice to have them strictly enforce the 10pm swimming curfew. Facilities are very nice and well maintained, and a huge plus for dog owners is a very large dog park located on the property. Very dog friendly. I really don't have a complaint, parking is tight-ish if you're coming home later but I only had to park on the street 1 time in a little over a year and a half. Absolutely and highly recommend living here, would stay and re-lease but am needing to relocate for a new line of work. Highly doubt there are many communities as well kept and run as this one.

                  The office staff is always courteous and helpful. Maintenance requests are handled by the staff quickly enough. Expectations are communicated to me on any maintenance jobs that require followup actions.

                        I felt really lucky to get into The Retreat at North Bluff because it is always leased up! It has been a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend living here. I always meet the nicest people at the pool and the management and maintenance team is always so helpful and considerate. I also love that the trash areas are lit so I always feel safe taking my trash out in the evenings.

                            The complex parking is a mess. The spots are extremely small and there are tons of covered parking not being used. Also it some loud neighbors have moved in around us that the management is unaware about and we've been told there's not much they can do. The apartment is very dog friendly which is great and I have meet a few friendly people around.

                              Thanks for you input as we do value each and every one. With 100% occupancy, the parking is at full capacity. We do enforce our parking permits nightly. We also have our courtesy manager here each evening to help monitor and enforce. Please call the office after hours and follow the prompts. He can offer help . We recently sent out a text to ask that the compact cars park in the small spaces, leaving the larger spaces for the bigger vehicles. Also, we're aware of the neighbors you're referencing. Due to a domestic issue, they've already been asked to move and will be gone in 2 weeks. Our main focus is in keeping Retreat as comfortable and safe for all as possible. We appreciate your concerns. If you'd like to discuss in person,we're available 6 days a week. Sincerely, Christa Wilson Manager

                              The door to the entrance is broken, has been for a year. My concern that since we are a gated community, strangers should not have access and be able to walk into the complex without a key or code number

The washer and dryer are great.The grounds are pretty and well cared for. The staff are really nice and made the move super easy for us. We are going to be here for a while.

                                      First speed bump on the west side of the grounds scratches the bottom of my car up like nobody's business. Roaches all over my apt. when I arrived. Exterminator visited 7/20/2016 and used my toilet w/o flushing. Still seeing lots of roaches. Other than that it's pretty cool, I understand these are first week-ish issues.

                                          originally wanted a 8 month lease but settled for a year, based on just a month of living here and the experience Ive had with staff and comfort of living i will definitely be willing to sign for another year when my lease is closing this place is great for my new family.

                                              From putting in an application to lease and being a current resident, I can't say enough good things about this community. The office staff has always gone above and beyond their requirements to help me out with any issue I've ever had- they are great people and the most genuine management you'll find at any community. The grounds are well taken care of and they're very strict about enforcing curfew times in public areas. The complex is very peaceful and quiet at any given time and very dog friendly. The best place I've ever lived!
