I've lived in several apartment complexes in Austin, and the Hudson Miramont is by far the best…read more Five years in, and it still exceeds my expectations. Each year when it's time to renew my lease, I explore other, newer apartment complexes, but when I weigh the pros and cons, Hudson Miramont always comes out on top. Here's why I stay:
Location: The complex is perfectly situated--just the right distance from MoPac and close to HWY 71. Look for the giant Google Fiber sign (FREE Google Fiber!), adjacent to greenbelts, walking trails, and a pasture where you might spot the occasional cow. Plus, you can walk next door to the Natural Gardener to enjoy their plants, goats and chickens, butterfly garden.
Management: The office staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, with minimal turnover during my time here--a major plus.
Community Feel: The complex has a welcoming, neighborhood atmosphere. While the average age skews younger, as most apartments do, there are also older residents and families with children.
Noise Level: Highway noise is minimal, except for the occasional fire truck or ambulance on Southwest Parkway. As for apartment noise, I live in a quiet building, so I can't speak for everyone, but it's generally peaceful. There are, of course, the requisite barking dogs--mine included, on occasion.
Parking: Pay for a carport or garage. You'll be glad you did.
Maintenance: Awesome! We have a team of 3 guys who keep this place running smoothly.
Pets: This is a haven for dog lovers. The complex has two dog parks separated by a fence, each equipped with fantastic agility equipment--jumps, tunnels, and weave poles. I'm including pictures of the greenbelts to give examples.
Apartments: The apartments themselves are wonderful. I've enjoyed my space, especially all the natural light. My 1BR apartment is spacious and comfortable. What's not to like?
