Stay away from this place if you can. Their mangement is irresponsible, they try to rip you off in every single thing. The dryer in my apartment is broken for several month and no one ever comes, even though we have reported many many times! My AC was broken for a month in mid Sept!!! It my seem temping to live here because of the cheap rent, but please believe me, you will pay a lot more price in health when dealing with the irresponsible management and poor community here. Run for you life!

Don’t get fooled this place is now called ION and I’ve lived here under both managements. They like to advertise now new attitudes which is true but it’s a million times worse than before. The manager thinks he’s this king of the property and refuses to even come out of his office instead sending kids to talk for him. He thinks he is mr. cool stylish man and doesn’t have the time of day. If you move here you really should go have your head checked!

Ok, finally they got some body to fix the AC last month. And one week after it’s done, it stopped working again. I have been complaining every time I passed the manager office, all they did is telling they are trying to get it done. NEVER TRY TO LIVE HERE. And they are changing name to Ion at East End, seems that did not help to improving there shitting management…

THIS IS THE WORST APARTMENT COMPLEX EVER. It was an ideal place for my boyfriend and I to move into in the beginning. The rent was cheap, it was all-​bills paid, and very close to ACC Riverside. Although, after only a week we soon found out it’s not all its cracked up to be. First of all, if you are a couple, you cannot rent out one room, you have to rent out two. Our neighbors told us immediately after moving in that the area has cleaned up a lot and the management had gotten better. but TWO DAYS AFTER WE MOVED IN our apartment was robbed. The management claimed to have changed the locks, but the doors WERE LOCKED. According to
there have been over 30 car burglaries since January (including my own). Besides that point, there is no security here. If you have children, do not live here. There are gates but the entire time we have lived here they have been broken. Also, there are parties going on here all the time, which means there are also cops here all the time. Riverside, according to the police, is one of the worst areas in Austin to live. Some nights I cannot sleep due to sirens and parties going on around me, its ridiculous.
The management, to be blunt, sucks. They are irresponsible, do not care about anything, and give you lease violations for Everything. The management just changed again and the new «owner» completely degraded me. She claims to be making this place So much better but all of the suggestions I had she basically threw out the window.
Another issue is the maintenance. We personally know one of them, who is great, but unfortunately he isn’t responsible for the entire complex. We put it requests OVER two weeks ago and they still have yet to come fix anything. All of the furniture is old and falling apart in our apartment.
Hands down, find somewhere else to live because this place is a complete dump.
