My air conditioner has broken over six times in less than two years, the appliances are ancient, there almost no amenities to speak of. Most importantly however is the complete lack of hot water because there are no in-unit water heaters. There is no hot water at the kitchen sink, none in the dishwasher, and in the shower there is no control over temperature. If there is hot water in the system you will get all of it and it will be too hot. The washer and dryers are 2.50 a piece which seems... ridiculous. The rent is a bargain I guess but I am currently sitting in an 85 degree apartment because they don’t really fix things over the weekend. Read More

Woodstone is a really beautiful complex filled with trees and surrounded by greenery. The upkeep is amazing and I never see any litter out while walking. It’s quiet even though there’s a school next to it.

Maintenance response is quick and the landlord, Isabel, is always friendly. They have monthly gatherings for food and fun which is great and the laundry room is always kept cleanly with all the machines working.

Not to mention, the area the apartment is located in is just perfect. It’s... inside of a quiet neighborhood but it’s close enough to HEB and Downtown Austin where getting anywhere I need to never feels like a chore. It’s also right next to a gas station which is great for getting gas before work and snacks.

The pool area is beautiful and will be great to use in the summer—I haven’t seen any trash around there either, and the hammocks they have are lovely to lay in. It’s honestly the perfect apartment complex for me and I hope to live here for years—which I haven’t gotten to experience at an apartment yet. Read More

Cristal is super nice and helpful, and everyone is very friendly! Lots of trees, squirrels, and deer. I like living here so far.

Apartment manager Cristal has been more than accommodating and helpful from the start. Maintenance man Wilmer is an exceptional human being who will apparently even have your back, if needed, at 11 pm on a Saturday night. They both strike me as good, honest people.

I have nothing bad to say about this complex. My neighbors have been very welcoming - more so than any other place I’ve lived actually. It is a quiet, small place. There are lots of dogs, which my pup appreciates. All I’ve met have... been good dogs. There are dog bag stations located around the complex. There are several courtyards to enjoy.

The high school across the street has been more of a nice amenity than the traffic issue I worried it might be before moving in. Traffic is never too bad through there. Their marching band is excellent. This is a wonderful neighborhood to walk around in and everyone is friendly.

The interiors of some units are a little dated. I find it charming. I understand that the units are being renovated when people move out to replace the carpet with nice wood vinyl and to upgrade cabinets and counters. I love the fireplaces. I haven’t had any problems with bugs here either. I did at my place down by Barton Creek in South Austin. Oh! Did I mention all the deer running around the neighborhood?!

I’m sure I could think of more but that seems like plenty. Oh right - the price is right! Read More

The complex is small at only 8 2-story buildings. It is quiet and laid back and located in a beautiful neighborhood with big, old trees. The units are old but you can't tell. The only negative thing I could say is the walls are pretty thin, but that often comes with apartment living. What has impressed me the most is the flexibility and demeanor of the staff, namely Cristal. I found myself searching for housing at a precarious time and Cristal was nothing but understanding and accommodating... to work with me and get me into an apartment. I signed a 12 month lease and I won't be surprised if I renew at the end of it. Read More
