Slightly better than Average - but worth the price

This apt complex has its ups and downs. It is under new management and I think they are trying very hard to make improvements. We currently lease a 3 bedroom, 2 bath apt and feel that the rate of $1240 / mth is fair. For 2007-2008, our rent will increase by $50 / mth...yes, we have signed on for another year. Some notes regarding our experience: - spacious 3 bedroom and 2 bath apt...we live on the 3rd floor so the ceilings are higher - nice work out facilities - pools are typical of most apt complexes - good location close to the domain, arboretum and shopping - new management has always been very friendly - newly renovated exterior makes this place look newer on the flip side: - the train crossing, that borders the west end of the second complex, is very loud...we live in the second complex closest to the train crossing...train whistles can be heard from 5am - 11pm every day - our car was broken into...this can happen anywhere in Austin these days...and you should never leave anything, including your detachable radio face, in your car - the air conditioning system is old, our electricity bill for May 2008, was $250 - repair requests are usually full-filled quickly, but you have to submit a request online, follow up with a phone call and sometimes visit the main office to make sure it happens...this has been the case with all apts I have lived in. Overall, I think this place is worth the price we pay when you compare it to other, more expensive apts in the area.
