Salado At Walnut Creek Apartments

Rent anywhere but here!
When I first moved in I thought I had found a well-​priced refuge in North Austin. The manager was super friendly and I was impressed with many of the updates they are making to the complex.
However, between the constant drum and bass music through the common wall from my neighbors, the fact that I am woken up every single morning to my upstairs neighbor, and the idiots who drive through the complex with speakers blaring, my apartment is uninhabitable.
It’s beyond ridiculous. I can’t watch tv in my own living room, because the volume at which I would have to listen to it over the music would make my ears bleed — it literally drives me out of my own home. I have tried watching tv and listening to music with headphones, but it is so loud that I can hear it through my headphones. I made the mistake of answering my phone when they had the music on and the person on the other end asked me to turn my radio off!
And the neighbors above are ridiculous (I’ve lived on the ground floor before, hearing neighbors is nothing new), but as a friend described it, it literally sounds as though they are going to come crashing through the ceiling. Also, there is part of their kitchen floor that creaks/​squeaks and it sounds like they just stand there for ten minutes every morning creaking the spot.
I am paying for an apartment that I cannot use or be in — I go out of town almost every weekend and dread coming home after work.
After years of renting in major cities across America (and living next to a bar), I have come to understand that living surrounded by people means noise, but Salado at Walnut Creek takes it to an entirely different level. I cannot wait until my lease is up so I can move out of this hell hole. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!

Well, the first night I stayed here, my car window was smashed and among other things, my GPS navigator was stolen. Apart from that, when I left a stroller on the balcony, I was charged a hefty $ 200 fine even though this is not mentioned anywhere in the contract.

Do not EVER rent here. These people are scammers and they are completely dishonest. I had different issues from this place and never once got a call back.
I left a pet deposit, and they never got it. What a surprise.
I repainted my entire apartment before I left and they still managed to figure out how to charge me for $ 550 in addition to my $ 415 deposit. What the hell?! This place was in damn near perfect shape when I left! They had a forwarding address of somewhere that I never heard of whenever I gave them my correct forwarding address 2 different times. I’m not sure what is going on with this place, but the property management and the City of Austin apartment assistance will DEFINITELY be notified.

It seems that these apartments are kind of out in the middle of nowhere. I was pretty desperate to find a place and decided on these apartments. It’s a pretty huge complex, of which I lived in the very back for a couple months before taking on a (crazy) roommate. The apartments are spacious for the money you pay and the one bedrooms have INCREDIBLE views!
Unfortunately, the one bedrooms are on the third floor, but they overlook Walnut Creek. I used to wake up early to sit on the patio to just read or relax or whatever. It was incredibly peaceful. There are also vaulted ceilings, washer/​dryer connections, and spacious patios.
The office seems to have a pretty high turnover, there’s been 3 different office assistants since I moved in, less than a year ago. The water has been turned off (with notice… but still) several times in a 3 week period and not turned back on within the alloted time. And, they’re seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
Can’t wait until the lease expires!
