Apartment Review for Campus Estates - Austin, TX

Safety: I heard nothing but horror stories about this side of town. As far as I can tell, this complex is mostly made up of college students at ACC and UT. Just be cautious at night, lock your door, have your keys ready, etc. and you should be fine. Parking: Ample parking everywhere, I have never had to walk far to get to my building, and they have visitor parking everywhere, be sure to inform your guests of visitor parking because of the tow truck that comes to patrol. Appearance: Outside of buildings look fine but don't be fooled by their apartment model. The insides of the apartments look NOTHING like the models, everything looks much older and much more used. Office Staff: Idiots, lol, that's about all I can say about them without writing an entire essay. Maintenance: If anything is broken don't expect a same day fix, the complex is soo big, it usually takes a couple of days for them to get to you. But when they fix something it stays fix, so here's a few kudos for the maintenance staff. Condition of Unit: I cleaned my room for 2 hrs before I was able to move my stuff in. Everything was dirty, there were hairs in the bathtub, yellow stains around the toilet, i mean WTF. Noise Level: Noise isn't terrible, keep in mind your living amongst a college heavy population so there ARE going to be parties, but for the most part, when I need to study or go to sleep it's not the worst place I've ever lived. Overall Rating: Aside from my roommates being drug dealers and the office not caring, my stay at University Estates has been mildly amusing as I have watched the residents destroy everything they touch. The nets on the basketball court are always ripped, a good portion of the weight room is either broken or missing, the hot tub doesn't work and everything is trashy and dirty. The Preiss Company wanted to spend as little money as possible to produce as many units as possible and out came the inbred deformed child known as University Estates. Parents, don't send your child here, it's definitely worth a little extra $ to ensure your kids have a positive college experience.
