Mesh Apartments - Convenient location at affordable price

I am renting a 2B 2B at Mesh 3 by Riverside. The best thing about the place is its location. Just two blocks away from the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, it is perfectly located if you like to go for a walk or run by the river. The apartments are also 4 mins away from a UT shuttle/Cap Metro bus stop, and the commute time to Rowling Hall is 25-30 mins total. Although the units are renovated you can still feel this is an old building with no amenities, and definitely not luxurious, if that is something you are concerned about. The whole unit has a roach issue, which I'm assuming originates from the sewers since we have sprayed the place multiple times. Overall, I would say the apartment is ok and affordable, but you must be willing to make a few compromises to get this price at this location.

There's lots to do, eat, and drink right in the Riverside neighborhood, and getting to downtown or the East side is so easy if you want to do something different. Lots of great local spots to eat (mostly counter-service style), ranging from sports bars to Tex Mex to Vietnamese food. There's plenty of standard chain restaurants as well (again mostly counter service places). Being close to the Town Lake trail is prime. Some areas don't feel very safe at night, but most of the streets are well-lit. Police often patrol the area, which could make you feel safer or more concerned. Overall, a great area to live that is constantly improving!

Riverside drive especially the east part is relatively a new growing neighborhood. Grocery shops like Walgreens, CVS and HEB are nearby. It is also a relatively safe area and calm. It is close to UT campus with a 10 min drive only in normal traffic.

Moreover it is surrounded with the beautiful access to the river and lady bird lake.
Night life is a bit not much available and most of the action is in downtown of Austin which is very close.

Riverside is growing with many restaurants and grocery shops. There are some constructions going on and it is relatively quiet unless it is rush hours.
It is close to downtown and to UT campus.

Relatively less safe than downtown because of homeless people around.

I heard Riverside had a less than perfect reputation before I moved here. I would say that the closer you are to the river the better you should be as it has also become a very desirable location. Riverside, as a neighborhood, is split by Riverside Drive, so try to find a place in the zone closest to the river. Also, prices are usually lower than in other areas closer to campus.

I really like how accessible it is to the other neighborhoods, given its location on the trail, but it is very new and they are putting up a bunch of new apartment buildings and the dining/bar scene hasn't quite filled out yet.

The path by the river is great if you like to cycle or run. I love running down to auditorium shores, using the outdoor gym and then running back. it's a perfect workout.
