Apartment Review from a Current Renter

I would recommend SoCo because of the location and staff.
Hey Liz! Your survey made our day! Thank you so much for your positive and encouraging words! You always brighten our day! I agree 100%, the parking lot as well as some cosmetic items in the exterior would enhance the property. I can not wait to start the process this year! It is going to be so fresh and exciting! Please let us know if you need anything! Have a wonderful weekend!

There are plenty of other options available where you can receive more for your money
I'm so sorry you feel this way. This survey confused me a little due to such positive feedback you had placed in your previous survey prior to you moving out a few months ago stating that we were an incredible place to live and you would recommend us to anyone. I would love to discuss this with you further. Please contact me, (512)707-1792.

The cost is the main thing. My friends that rent could most likely not afford to live here. At least, not without a roommate. I lucked out getting in when I did, as I don't know if I could afford this place if I tried to move in now. So I would recommend it if someone wants the downtown life, and has a job that pays well. BUT, I think the age of the building would be a hard selling point, since the units are charming, but not new and modern.
Thank you so much for your survey! You are such a valued resident at SoCo! We understand that the market of Austin has grown tremendously downtown in the past few years due to the rapid increase in occupancy. The positive side to SoCo is we are one of the most affordable costs in downtown Austin with the benefits of being located closet to Lady Bird Lake as well as the Fitness Trial and walking distance to South Congress and downtown. We, also, are constantly upgrading the exterior buildings to keep it always up to par. We are so glad that you are with us and hope to keep you for a long long time. Let us know if you need anything.

This community offered amenities I have never seen before. The entire common area was very clean and well kept. I was made to feel at home and very welcome.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you had a positive experience! I speak for all of us at SoCo on the Lake when I say it was a pleasure meeting you.

Depends on what their life priorities are.

I had a great experience with the leasing professional. She was very enthusiastic about finding a place that fit my needs and in describing the apartment and its amenities.
Thank you so much for taking time to visit SoCo on the Lake and for the wonderful feedback! We enjoyed your visit!

The community seemed overpriced for the condition that it was in.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for your visit with us. I would love to address your concerns a little more on pricing. We are a community who is always accomplishing upgrades to both the interior and exterior. We are located right off Ladybird Lake with full access to the trail as well as a private dock with canoe storage (the only one in Austin), exposed brick walls (unique to Austin), uniquely built floorplans with Ladybird Lake views, a high quality management which values are based around customer service and we are close to everything happening in Austin such as the South Congress area, 6th St, Rainey St, South By Southwest, Fun Fun Fun Fest, etc. You get the most of Austin in our location and we are one of the most affordable apartments in this location. I would love to discuss Austin's average rental value with you so you can better understand the prices of Austin. My number is (512)707-1792 if you have any questions. I want to thank you, again, for your feedback with us.

If they had the money for it, perhaps. But unless they are dying to live right on the river / trail, they could do better for their money elsewhere.

My perception as a real customer considering leasing would be that I would definitely lease at this community. The location was fantastic being located right there at downtown and S. Congress with so much to offer in the area. The leasing professional was outstanding. I would have no problems referring this community to my family and friends.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so happy to hear you were happy with us. We at Soco on the Lake take pride in providing exceptional customer service. You deserve to live at a community that will go above and beyond to make your living experience is exceptional with the benefits of living right in the heart of Austin. I want to, again, thank you so much for your feedback. If there is ever anything you need please let us know.

I was more captivated by my target agent rather than the property. I would have leased an apartment based on the demonstration. I felt welcomed and my business was valued.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We enjoyed your visit with us at Soco on the Lake. This community has an authentic Austin feel that comes complete with a unique finish outs centrally located in the happenings of Austin with direct access to the trail as well as our own private dock off of Lady Bird Lake. We will continue to make improvements to the community and provide a unique living experience for all our residents. We were so sad you didn't lease with us. I hope in the future to come you will re-visit our community and become a long term resident.

I thought the community was okay, but it did not wow me. The exterior was outdated and there were lots of spider webs. The pool volleyball net was damaged. The interior just did not seem special.
Thank you for your feedback. We are a community located right off the lake so we do attain spider webs that will form within minutes due to the location but we have a daily goal of walking property to make sure lights are clean as well as cobwebs are cleaned. The lifestyle is authentic Austin located right off of Town Lake and the Austin fitness trail. It's an amazing lakeside view. You must have been by within days of our volleyball net ripping. We have already replaced this as well. I encourage you to come back out to take a second look at the community and what we have to offer. We will continue to make improvements to the community and take care of all of our residents with exceptional customer service.

So many lovely reasons mostly location. A bit dated inside for price, but I know real estate market demands that. Dog friendly and hike and bike trail a huge plus. AC units need cleaning and laundry room too small would be my only complaints.

I just recommended it to a co-worker earlier this week! :]

The community was very dated and needed lots of modern upgrades. It was in a prime location and could be a great place if a few amenities were added. The overall perception of this property for me was that I was not impressed by it for the price.
