I have enjoyed living here for the amenities and the Santa Catarina restaurant

I’ve had a great living experience at Starlight.I feel very safe here, the staff is kind and helpful, and any issues are addressed promptly. The maintenance team is very responsive and has resolved any problems quickly and efficiently.

Beautiful apts, top-tier amenities, very desirable location, friendly professional staff/management and even the restaurant treats the residents like family. Also, the restaurant bar does poolside delivery. That in itself is awesome.

I moved to Austin two years ago and luckily found Starlight. The location is excellent as it is very walkable to Manor and the Cherrywood neighborhood while Mueller is only a mile away. I stayed in a Townhouse unit of which they only had a few and loved it. It really did feel like it was a home. The staff are responsive, helpful, and friendly. Other than the gym, I did not really use the amenities, but I see others using them frequently and the pool and club rooms look great. I recommend... Starlight to anyone looking to live in the East Central Austion Read More

Do not move here if you value your safety or your belongings!

On Monday this week (01/19/26), an intruder roamed the apartment hallways stealing packages from residents’ doorsteps. That same intruder also attempted to walk directly into an apartment in the middle of the day. The only reason residents know what happened is because some people have personal door cameras that they purchased themselves.

This is not an isolated incident. Package theft has been a severe ongoing problem. Management... pushes residents to use Fetch and claims it prevents theft, but this does not work for people who work long hours, multiple jobs, or need time-sensitive deliveries. Despite repeated thefts and complaints, management has refused to install more cameras or take basic steps to improve security. Reports have highlighted financial relationships between large property management companies, including Greystar, and Fetch, so it certainly raises serious questions about whose interests are actually being prioritized.

Yesterday, a resident put up signs around the complex warning others to lock doors, secure vehicles, and stay alert. By this morning, the signs were taken down. As of now, management has still not sent a single community-wide email acknowledging the thefts or the attempted break-in. What potential tenants and nearby visitors might see seems to matter more than the safety of the people who live here.

This is an active security issue. Management is aware of it, but does not take actionable steps to make residents feel safer. If you move here, you can probably expect your packages to be stolen and little communication when something goes wrong.

Additionally, be cautious when reading the hollow five-star reviews. Some clearly appear padded to offset negative feedback from residents who have raised repeated concerns over many months since Greystar took over the apartment complex. Read More
