Parkside at Lake Creek Apartments

We’ve been living here since July, and I’m not impressed by any means. The best thing I can say about this place is that our experiences with the maintenance team has always been great. They’re quick, efficient and polite. On the other hand, the complex itself is alright but nothing to write home about. Our actual apartment is decent, but there’s no in-​house storage. So don’t look for a linen closet or a coat closet. The linen closet is occupied by the washer and dryer. While that is amazingly convenient, to have your own in-​house laundry, there is no storage unless you get crafty and use under the bed bins or make space in your bedroom closet.
I’m not an animal hater, but that doesn’t mean I like dodging dog crap on a property that has doggy stations almost everywhere. This is mainly an individual issue but my problem with management is that they don’t enforce anything. It’s just a common courtesy, I think. The whole experience has just been «blah». If you’re looking for a community that will blow you away, this is not it. Keep looking.

I recently signed my lease for Parkside and would highly recommend requesting and working with Erin Rollins. Erin was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. She initially gave us the tour and made sure to answer any questions. After getting our quote, my boyfriend and I had some trouble accessing the online application a few days later and didn’t get a lot of help with another staff member but when getting in touch with Erin, she was so understanding and was quick to help. She is definitely a great asset to the complex!

Do not move here. Mold, mice, high rent, terrible customer service and incompetent office staff. By far the worst apartment I’ve ever lived in. The property is old and repairs have never been properly done. Consider yourself warned and stay as far away from this awful place as you can.

So my lease is up with these apartments this month. I want to share my experience with you. I’ve lived here for 2 years and I think the overall was ok. There has been a change in management twice over the two years and many times regarding the ladies that work in the office. They are finally doing some updates now that I am leaving. I live in the town apartments and the ceiling has leaked twice. Once really bad that my living was a mess for over a week. The other one was when it wouldn’t stop raining. Make sure you have renters insurance. When I first moved in. I felt like were nit picky on everything. Don’t do this. dont do that. dont do that. Really annoying. I like the office hours which you have someone in the office M-​S. The main pool is always really clean. Theres a lot of kids around this area and families. I like the apartment area as you are close to Target, HEB, Sams, Walmart… etc. I am happy to say bye to these apartments.

I have lived here for over a year and they changed owners… These ones are terrible, never answer the phone or get to work orders… I pay 795 for a one bedroom… Totally not worth it! If your looking for an apartment I would look elsewhere, just saying

Unfortunately, my experience with my apartment did not improve. I wound up living here two years mainly because I hate moving. My move in and move out experiences were awful. Everything in between was meh. In fact, I ended moving out and taking them to court to get my deposit back. This was after months of trying to work things out so I wouldn’t have to go to court. If you move in here, take lots of pictures when you move in and when you move out. Also, keep the Austin Tenants Council in mind in case you have any issues.
Pros: quiet neighborhood, plenty of stores & restaurants nearby, lots of schools nearby, parks & trails, prompt maintenance
Cons: apartment not ready for move in, very thin walls, apartment shakes if a neighbor closes their door too hard or if someone drives by with loud music, apartment leaks when it rains, thin windows so utility bills can be high, front staff is okay depending on who you have to deal with

this place is a ripp off they will charge you for trash service in variegating amounts fould be 10 bucks one month and 30 the next; they have no water meters meaning that if the community as a whole uses more water even if you didnt use any for that month your bill could still top $ 80 dollars and in the water bill they charge you for the water used in the two pools and lawns water bills fluctuate wildly; as far as safety is concerned place is safe and decently clean

It’s alright for the price I pay. 588 for a 1bdrm. My friend lives up the street a bit on 620(at alara) and pays 600 for a ²⁄₂. Maintenance is quick, but I don’t know if I trust them. Since I’ve moved in I’ve had things go missing and I KNOW its not anyone I invite over, the only person who comes over is my boyfriend. I asked who had keys and she said that maintenance does but that they’re bonded and background checked so it couldn’t be them. Because people don’t NOT get caught, right? That never happens. Also there’s a camera pointing from someone’s apartment straight into the pool. I hadn’t noticed till after I had already used the pool, in my bikini. Fuckin creepy. I contacted the apartment about this but I don’t really have high hopes that they’ll do anything about it.
Watch out for the speed bumps, they’ve knocked hoses lose in my car. And the walls are so thin I can smell my neighbor’s cat piss. Fun stuff.

Me, my husband, and our two young children lived in these apartments for about two years. It had it’s ups and downs. It really depended on who they had working in the office. Overall, it was a great experience. Low rent, good maintenance services. We had friends that hated the apartments and others who didn’t care either way. For us, we enjoyed the experience, however, we are happy to be owning instead of renting now.

I’ve been here for 1 ½ years and. .. well. I can’t wait to move.
Not that it’s SO BAD. But since I moved here I have had more flat tires than in the last 12 years of driving. I don’t know if that’s due to the insane speed bumps in the parking lot or from my suspiciously temperamental neighbor who screams at the top of his lungs every night.
Maintenance has slightly improved, and the new office manager is really sweet and on the ball.
The kitchen remodels looks pretty, but the process deletes half of the available cabinet space. There isn’t much to begin with.
Again, it’s not the WORST place. But there are tons of little annoyances that add up. Some of the neighbors are notoriously rude and noisy, which isn’t a problem until it’s 4 am and I can’t sleep. Not terrible for the price, but I’m looking forward to moving further south and into a house without shared walls.
