Only perk- close to campus

Pros:
- It's located close to campus
- There is a run/walk/bike trail nearby
- Small gym on property
- multiple pools
- Small dog park and sidewalks to walk your dog

Cons:
- Management takes a long time to respond & it is difficult to get consistent answers
- There is so much construction going on, it makes entering/leaving the property difficult at times
- Parking is tight, they give short notice on when maintenance for a parking lot is going to happen and it overwhelms the properties ability to accommodate residents
- lighting is horrible inside the buildings and inside the unit

Great apartment, management is meh

My actual unit is very lovely and spacious, great location relative to campus, management isn’t always the most responsible but if you keep on them you can get what you need

Good overall - convenient location

Location is great and easy to get to campus. Apartments are nice. Gated parking is great, but paid on top - they also have free uncovered parking. Love having the gym in the building.

Platform Apartments

I really like living at Platform. Two dedicated bus lines to bring you to RRH as well as access to the train. Additionally, it is cheap and near everything. I like my apartment and have no real issues.

Management Sucks

The management/leasing office workers are absolutely terrible and unhelpful! The valet trash and Fetch services are factored into rent but absolutely a waste of money. I have been fined for trash MULTIPLE times even though the guidelines are followed. Fetch loses almost all my packages that are from a party that isn't Amazon. Platform also cancels half the social events they intend to host. Very average apartment complex, only perk is several students live there.

Great Grad Student Living

Lots of UT MBA students. Great gym and pool facilities. In-unit washer and dryer and pet-friendly. The front desk staff isn't always the most responsive but all around, I've been pleased.
