Apartment Reviews for Villas Of La Costa - Austin

The managment makes the difference. Every problem big or small, has been PROMPTLY taken care of. I've paid more in rent and had much worse service. They spending $$ to redo and it is starting to look very good. I just extended for one year.

I am really enjoying my stay at Villas. Villas fits right in my price range and I have never had a problem with vandelism or any type of crime. the location is great for me! I didn't really care for the last Managment team, but someone just took over Villas and have made a lot of improvements. The property is well lit and they have really nice amentities for the price I pay in rent. So I would definently check them out! <P>

I have not had problems here like other people say they have. I am a student and really like the cheap rent and location. My car has never been vandalized and I do not feel that I am unsafe here. I plan to live here until I graduate and then who knows what will happen. The management team is new and I really like them. They are always there to help. My floorplan is just right for me and I would recommend it to anyone! <P>

I will not lie: this is a lower income area of Austin. If security is a major sticking point for you, this is not the place for you. That being said, my three friends and I have never had a problem with our apartments, cars, or persons being a target of crime (for those that care, we are four white people in a predominately hispanic crowd).

Other than security, though, this place is very good for the price. We are in a 2/2 for $600. Maintenance is outstanding - they've always come the same day in response to reports, even when requested late in the day. Besides a couple of intermittantly leaky windows, I've only had to call them for problems caused by us, not with the apartment.

Management was a little flaky at first, but they've improved since a national chain took over management and they've hired permenant staff.

If apartments were rated like hotels, i'd say Villas is 2 out of 5 stars.
