    oh boy.... "I will revise this review, if the situation is rectified in the next hour or else..." situation got rectified in under 10 minutes!" So before I could finish my sentence above, my cellphone rang and maintenance was on his way... it was a Saturday morning at 11A and I had to be downtown by 12N... the shower had no water coming out of the hot water side... I left a message at the end of the dreadfully long recording on the property vm. The maintenance guy called me within 5 mins of leaving the message and he was at the condo within 10 mins... he fixed the shower in 2 minutes. I made my 12n appt. I'm not sure how much it costs to rent the condo's but if it's inexpensive, then this is a good alternative as long as you are no-nonsense, want a kitchen and don't need any amenities other than free wifi, fitness center and a pool. It's bare bones but by no means awful. I'd say the website paints a fancier picture of the property and I think it's a bit deceptive as the condo that I was in and the one my friend was in had no decor at all, no wall hangings, no rugs, no ambiance (and no hair dryer)... so if you can bring the ambiance (and a hair dryer) and it's inexpensive, then I'd say go for it. It's a block from Magnolia Cafe and a short walk to the shops on South Congress. I posted photos of the condo I stayed in - room 1316.

    I now live at State House and really miss 2020, Just far enough away from the SOCO traffic but close enough just in case.

She was so supportive throughout the process and listened to all our needs. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase a home. Thanks Caroline!

From day one, Laura took the time to truly get to know us as people. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't like, understood our goals, and took the time to learn what was most important to us in finding the right home. She didn't just help us search for houses... she became a trusted advocate who genuinely championed our interests every step of the way. Laura went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Every property we considered was thoroughly vetted, not only for its features and condition, but also for potential issues that could affect us down the road. Whether it was physical concerns with the property, deed restrictions, HOA requirements, or anything else that might impact our future enjoyment of the home, Laura dug deep and made sure we had the information we needed to make confident decisions. What impressed us most was the level of care she brought to the process. She evaluated each home as if her own family were purchasing it. We never felt pressured. We never felt rushed. We always felt protected, informed, and supported. Buying a home can be stressful, but Laura made the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She isn't simply selling homes... she's helping people create the next chapter of their lives. We are incredibly grateful for everything Laura did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who will truly have your best interests at heart, Laura Tomaszewski is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Laura, for helping us find not just a house, but a place we are excited to call home.

    Edgewick

    78704 (South Austin)

    Update: I was the 2nd person to contract to build in Edgewick in July 2007 back when it was just a…read moreconcept on paper--only a trailer and no model homes or homes of any kind existed. I moved in the 1st quarter of 2008 and so I am part of the group who has lived in Edgewick the longest. Edgewick's lots of lands and concepts are owned by Benchmark/Momark. They are the developers. They are very well known in Austin and have developed many award-winning communities (example: the Austonian downtown is their project) which is a good thing if you have any worries about Edgewick making it. I feel confident this community will build out eventually though the economic downturn has made things move slower than the original 3 year build out plan. Wes Peoples is the new builder. You can see that the new homes under construction are modern design so it does look a little funny next to the original homes that are not modern. Having said that from looking at the quality of work the homes are actually improved. Once the community is built out it will hardly be noticeable. From here I will break down a Pro and Con List. Let's start with Cons: --You are living in SE Austin in an area that has not yet gone through gentrification. There is crime in the area though not enough to stress about. There have been very random, minor break-ins with vehicles mostly in Edgewick in the past 4 1/2 years though I personally have not been affected. This happens all across Austin especially as the city grows. If this bothers you I suggest you might want to move to Hutto or somewhere out in the country away from people. --The HOA has been very dominant over the past 4 years. Luckily they have just recently started to form a "safety committee" so that we the people have more voice. On the one hand as a good thing the fact that they run such a tight ship means the community is kept in tip top shape. Just be aware that they are always "On" so don't leave shoes scattered, put your trash can away immediately, ect. --Carlson Drive was built by Edgewick and is still maintained by Edgewick. It was supposed to be a private drive meaning the gates you see now were supposed to close Carlson off on the back end of Edgewick. You can see lots of lots ready for houses to be built circling Carlson. However the city as of now is refusing to allow Edgewick to make Carlson private. This means the dog park is technically located outside the gates of the community and is being used by the public. Though I myself don't personally mind sharing the issue at hand is when stuff gets broken or stolen. This is costing Edgewick money and therefore us the homeowners money. --The pool can really get overrun with college students in the summer. This is because some of the units in the community were purchased by parents for their kids. The HOA has recently really cracked down on monitoring the pool and the number of people allowed in. Larger parties now have to get pre-approved permission. PROS --You absolutely cannot beat the location. You have 2 major highways at your disposal (Ben White and IH-35). Because we are south of downtown you don't have as bad of a traffic mess like other parts of Austin. Zipping across Woodward or Oltorf to South Congress and downtown is a breeze. --You don't share walls with your neighbor (though the units are built close together) and each unit gets a garage. --The pool now has wifi. The pool itself is really great and the commercial grill is awesome for cook-outs. --Our community is very quiet. Sometimes there gets to be activity on Parker but those units being built and sold now are away from Parker so they won't notice as much. When I'm home I work from home and love it. --In regards to long term value you need to know that the city of Austin is dedicating a lot of $$$ to revitalizing East Riverside Drive which is just north of Edgewick beyond Oltorf. The live music scene is already moving East. This means in the future the area around Edgewick will also improve bringing the value of Edgewick up. It also means lots of cool stuff coming close. --The #7 bus route has 2 stops outside the gates of Edgewick on Parker. This bus goes straight downtown and drops off on Congress ave!! I live on this bus during SXSW. It only takes about 20 minutes to get downtown on the #7 from Edgewick once on board. --It is easy to bike ride from Edgewick as we are just across the highway from everything cool. If you want to bike on the East side you can go down Parker road, and cross Riverside where there is a bridge. Lady Bird Lake is so close to Edgewick too. --My floorplan is now called the Penn. I added an extra bathroom so I have 2 full baths. I know I'm biased but I think this is the best floor plan as everything you need is on one floor save for your washer and dryer. This also makes it safe. If you have questions about our community feel free to PM me.

    Got the fuck outta Edgewick. Dont move here. HOA is finally run by residents and unfortunately we…read moreinherited a mess. The budget was not managed well by the HOA company. Residents have recently been charged mandatory assessment fees of $1000 on top of the monthly fee to get the budget back to where its supposed to be. Monthly HOA fees were over $210 a month when left and they were about to raise them again. Landscapping is more absent than its ever been in this community. We usually get a once a year spring mulch replacement for every yard in the community around April that did not even happen this year for the first time in the eight years that I lived at Edgewick. So much turnover in neighbors, its hard to get to know anyone and many people rent their properties. Not much of a community. I would seriously reconsider moving into Edgewick. Dont get me started on the current lawsuit about structural construction issues on some of the properties.

    We can't say enough good things about Katy Hall. We first started working with her back in 2025,…read moreand even though we didn't end up finding anything we wanted to bid on that round, she never once made us feel bad about it or pressured us into settling for something that wasn't right. She was patient, genuine, and truly had our best interests at heart, not just a sale. So when we restarted our search in 2026, choosing to work with her again was an easy decision. This time we got lucky and found our home. Katy did an incredible amount of searching on our behalf, and whenever we walked into a home and it just didn't feel right from the first glimpse, she always told us there was no pressure at all, and that it was completely okay to turn around and leave. That kind of honesty and reassurance saved us so much time and energy, and made the whole search feel comfortable instead of stressful. Throughout the offer and closing process, she was the best support we could have asked for, always in our corner, always looking out for us. We're endlessly grateful to have found our home with her by our side. If you're searching for a realtor who genuinely cares about finding you the right home instead of just any home, Katy is who you want.

On the buying side, she is patient, knowledgeable, listened to my wants vs. my non-negotiables, and guided me through every step with clarity.

    Still not easy to deal with, but credit where due, they are managing the apartment better but the…read moreplace has gone a bit downhill overall with the quality of tenants they're allowing to move in. My rent went up by 20% which they probably don't have control over and the property owner is more to blame, but just as it was the case last year, they were advertising cheaper units on their website than what they offered me as an established tenant. Just as last year when I asked them why the advertised rates on the website for a clean new unit with new appliances and fresh flooring is lower than what they're offering me, they said "Oh we haven't updated the website". I think the better term is "Bait and switch". There is no excuse for not updating the website. The complex is also now using some weird variable rent table based on income but RPM doesn't disclose exactly how it works which means that if you don't want to give RPM and the ownership (who is anonymous though it's easy enough to find out if you research the corporate name) all your financial information (including all assets), you will be paying the full market rate (which is up 20% as mentioned above) as punishment and they did not budge on that price even a single penny. They claim the only way to see if you can get a discount is to follow their Hunger Games routine to prove that you're poor enough for the secret owners to take pity on you and throw you a bone. Is it a government program? According to the manager, "it's not a program! you just give us all your information and we send it to the owners and if you fall within government established poverty levels you get a discount!" "So the owner is doing it out of the goodness of their heart?" Clearly RPM is not allowed to say what's going on and after some back and forth, she was trying to make it sound like I was some sort of simpleton who didn't know anything about the Houston rental market while she who just moved to the city a few years ago knew all. I've been living here 4 years longer than she has been in the industry, but yeah, she knows more about the various neighborhoods and market values here. I stopped listening when she was comparing our 50 year old property with aluminum wiring with the 14 year luxury property across the street but here but I digress. My guess is that the ownership got some sort of government funding for their new construction projects and the stipulation is that they have to offer rental assistance in return. That's speculation on my part but it's better than the "Benevolent Real Estate Mogul" implication RPM is trying to push. I just wish RPM didn't try to insult our intelligence and was upfront about what's going on. While I was looking at other apartments, the other managers I spoke with gave me much more information about what's going on here. Again, I'm sure ownership is playing their part in this but RPM could be less condescending and disclose what's going on to the property.

The Elevators on the exit side of the building have not worked for 2 weeks. The tree branches have not been trimmed on the exit side driveway in close to a year.
