The property quality is reasonable for the price, but what makes them 5star is the management.

They communicate any issue with the complex (water outages/utility provider shutdowns) via text message and provide multiple updates over time. They are very responsive to maintenance requests and were very flexible with extending my lease at the end of my term.

The property has issues (due to its age), but the location and price make up for the age of the property.

I've lived in two different apartments here for almost three years and love it. This apartment complex is nestled at the perfect spot where downtown meets Clarksville, MoPac, and Zilker Park. I work south and have rarely face much traffic because this apartment is located just shy of the main artery on MoPac that goes to North Austin - so commuting is a breeze. I love riding my bike around here on the weekends because there are plenty of protected bike lanes. This area offers pretty much... anything working professionals like to do during leisure time: bars, restaurants, outdoorsy stuff, and gyms. The apartments themselves are nice, quiet, and spacious for a single person or couple. I've lived in a corner unit with large windows that overlook 6th St. for two years and love the ample natural lighting. The management is nothing short of excellent; I've lived in Austin for 7 years and have had hit-or-miss experiences with apartment managers, but the folks at 6th Street West take care of their tenants. Not only do they respond to maintenance issues promptly and effectively, but they also keep an open line of communicate with residents and try to keep rent low (a difficult feat as housing costs continue to rise in Austin). I'm leaving Austin soon to go to graduate school elsewhere, and I will be very sad to leave West 6th - a place that has truly become my home over the years. Read More

I have lived at this complex for 1.5 years. You can't beat the location and the rent is very reasonable for the downtown location. Walkable to downtown and its very convenient right next to Mopac. There is a management office onsite and I have never experienced a more responsive landlord. They are very quick to maintenance requests. When I reported a broken fridge, they replaced it with a new one the very same day! Not all of the amenities listed on this site are available in all of the units... but all in all a great place to live. Read More

I found my one bedroom apartment in this complex and moved in a week later -- it was the first Austin apartment I saw, and I'm so happy I went with it! It's close to everything -- sushi, bars, gyms, salons, shopping, grocery stores. I work in The Domain and my commute is 15 minutes to get to work in the morning. Management is friendly and responsive if you have any problems, and they're great about accepting packages if you're not home. If you're looking for a downtown Austin experience that's... not nestled in the insane loudness of actual downtown, this is PERFECT for you. Read More

I have lived at 6th Street West Apartments for three years. The location is great and we are in walking distance from so many great spots. I have also had great experiences with the staff here. They have been very helpful through the years when little situations arise.

Recommendation: Yes!
