Timbercreek Apartments

It's an older motel style complex(10 different buildings scattered around a central parking lot).

Pros: The pool and view of downtown is great. A lot of cool parks and restaurants within walking distance. There's a bus stop right outside the complex. One of the lowest prices on a two-bedroom anywhere in the city. Very very close to our child's school Colibri. If you are a parent looking for daycare I would highly recommend this complex and the school.

Cons: It's an old building built in the 60's, the fixtures aren't great and the floors aren't level. Only one bathroom. Also a 15-min drive or a 40ish -min bus ride from the law school. I enjoy taking the bus, but have had a few close calls getting to class on time because of delays. Have to pay for washing/drying machines

The Timbercreek Apartments are just south of downtown Austin perfect for professionals who work in downtown or want to be within walking distance to the Palmer Event Center, Town Lake hike and bike trails, and Zilker Park. The complex has two laundry rooms, a new gym (2015), and a nice pool with a view of downtown. The property management is courteous and responsive to completely fix any issues that may arise.

The apartment has been great. Especially the location near downtown. It's walkable to the river, downtown, South Congress, and so so much more. It's not the best apartment, but it is far from the worst I've lived in. The flow of the apartment is comfortable.

The apartments themselves are tired; the kitchen and bathroom especially could use new appliances and plumbing. However, the price is right (the cheapest close to downtown!), and management is great. They're very responsive to maintenance requests, and the employees in the leasing office know every resident by name. It's very impressive!

The location is absolutely amazing and is the main selling point of living here. They also have an amazing pet policy - no size restrictions and discounts on deposit if you adopted! They're making improvements to the amenities (updated washer/dryers, gym, etc.), but the apartments are definitely older - and come with older apartment issues on occasion. Maintenance is very responsive though.
