Apartment Review from a Current Renter

It’s only amenity is proximity to downtown. I would Tell people exactly that.

Apartment Review from an Independent Evaluator

I had a good interaction at the community. The community was nice and well kept. It was quiet and peaceful during my visit. The leasing agent was nice as well. I would recommend the community to others.

This community was in a great location in the downtown area. It had great access to the lake. The apartments offered unique features. The leasing consultant was very professional.
Hello and thank you for your feedback! Please let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. Sincerely, Your SoCo on the Lake staff!

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

For the first 4 -5 years here I've really loved it, despite the constant turnover, but this past year and a half has been difficult in getting concerns addressed, and knowing when or if something will be taken care of in a timely manner.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

I really love the location and general community at SoCo. Maintenance requests have always been filled quickly, but it would be nice if my AC unit hadn't failed several times since I've lived here. Other than that, the only downside is that my unit was a little dilapidated when I moved in, but not unreasonably so. I think the updated units would be a much easier recommendation for me to make, as they match the quality of a lot of other housing available in Austin much more closely.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback in regards to your experience here at Soco on the Lake. I do want to apologize for the water being shut off at times but it is only due to maintenance and emergency purposes. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with a phone call or email at soco@cwsapartments.com and I will be happy to assist in any way.

Thank you for your continued residency here at Soco and have a great day!

Sincerely,
Pamela Cambel

Apartment Review from an Independent Evaluator

An older community in a great location. The pool and dock were the only amenities but close to downtown and festival area. They could put up some signage on the main road.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. There is a sign located on Riverside at the light, but can see how it can be missed with so much surrounding it.

Our community is unique in that, it is tucked away from the actual street which gives direct access to the trail and lake which residents love and take advantage of on a daily basis.

See above. Me lease ends early December. Will be quite a review.

Apartment Review from an Independent Evaluator

While this community is located in a very appealing location and is querky and unique the way you would expect an apartment to be in Austin, that unique querkiness comes at a very steep price. I was actually surprised by the high price for an apartment that had no updates since the late 90's.
Hi,

Thank you for giving us your feedback. Soco on the Lake does offer a great price to be at a great location. We provide a uniqueness that other communities in the area will not have including built in bookshelves and exposed brick walls which residents love and definitely make it their own home once they move in. Our pricing is dependent on current availability and comparable to what the market it offering. Please feel free to reach out to me directly and I will be happy to help look for your new home here.

Sincerely,
Pamela Cambel

Some updates to faucets would be nice. Switch out the fixtures with hot and cold to a modern one piece faucet

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

The community has the perfect harmony of being in the city but hidden within the trees and right along the river. All of the residence are respectable and the staff members are like old friends.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

I couldn't recommend an apartment with consistent cockroach problems.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

This is a great community to live in. The staff is great. The locati N is perfect and I would recommend to anyone looking for a new community to live in.
