View from balcony on 20th floor
Delanie K.

I loved my time at the Monarch, overall. We submitted our application from only seeing a video of the unit. Dealing with the leasing office was hit or miss, but I feel like that can be a problem at every apartment complex. No big issues. When we moved in, the whole first floor was under construction, so it was a big hassle to go down to the ground floor, receive food deliveries, etc, and the gym was set up in a 2 bedroom apartment. I felt bad for the people living below that! Luckily everything had reopened just a few months after we moved in. The concierge men/women were always so friendly and helpful. I feel like everyone would go to them over the leasing office lol. Our floorplan was absolutely massive for a 2 bed 2 bath. Our balcony spread across the entire width of our 2 bedroom apartment. It is easily, EASILY the best view of downtown. I will treasure my time there. They boast the building was built to condo specs, and I believe it. I never heard my upstairs neighbors, everything was built well. It's very walkable and you have trader joes and whole foods on either side of you. Easy walk to the hike and bike trail. Crime was low, security was present, never had any issues in the garage. They have a big storage area for residents as well. We took advantage of the common areas for parties as well as the small co-working areas. I definitely feel like this was luxury living, and you will pay the price.

I've been a resident for over a year here and the experience has been terrible. The majority of time I've lived here the lobby has been under construction with countless noise, delays, and inconveniences. The management simply doesnt care about addressing resident needs. I guess that was apparent when they kept charging us a $60 monthly lifestyle fee for the gym, pool, and lobby that were completely inaccessible during the construction period. Usually emails to management go unanswered and you have to make several phone calls to get ahold of someone to get a resolute answer. The maintenance requests take longer and longer to get resolved. I've had the same dishwasher flood 3 times in a year and each time they tell me its "fixed" it just breaks down a few weeks later. No idea why they have a concierge. The hours are limited and non residents/food delivery come and go as they please. The main entrance is usually blocked by uber drivers, moving trucks, yoga clients and its always difficult to get in and out of the garage parking($125 per month). One of the 3 elevators is constantly down for maintenance and the skybridge carpeted areas always smell like dog piss. This place probably once used to be a great building to live but it has gone downhill. On the plus side it's a convenient location with a nice view and easy access to grocery shopping, gyms and parks. But given the high rent and all of the additional fees its just not worth it. I wont be renewing my lease and I will be looking elsewhere nearby for a better resident experience. Given the price and resident benefits, there are better places out there.

Moved into the Monarch in November from the Domain , and have not regretted that move at all. This location is phenomenal due to the fact it's located on the west side of downtown. It's also a massive plus that this spot is in a 5 min walk to 3 grocery stores!! Being so close to Wholefoods and trader Joes is crazy if you think about it. I work from home so the view is always top notch and there is never an issue with internet. The night life on this side of 6th street is clean and not as wild/dirty as the east 6th st is. So to wrap this up a move to the Monarch will not disappoint you, but will astound you!

UPDATE - The biggest issue is now safety and accessibility since we will lose access to the first-floor lobby entry by elevator. My wife, newborn, two small dogs, and elderly parents will have to take two elevators and walk out through the parking garage to exit and enter the building. Until June. Windsor Community's mission is a bit of a farce. "Create communities where people truly feel cared for." Not even close, it read... "Create communities where we care for new potential residents and revenue much more than current residents." Our house on the lake is being remodeled so we thought it would be nice to live downtown but our experience is getting increasingly worse. A neighbor asked us where we lived and her response sums it up best... Ah... the Monarch College Dorm... Construction is a constant source of frustration and my wife and newborn will now need to take two elevators and use the car ramp in the parking garage in order to exit the building. I can't believe this is allowed by the City of Austin or that the building would think this is acceptable. We recently had a very loud group move in above us and I'm not one to complain but there have been multiple occasions of over-the-top parties. Jumping up and down, screaming from the patio, and loud music. Suggestion: Raise the bar on lease approvals and implement fines for repeated offenses. The entry driveway is a constant source of frustration almost as if there are no coordination of when people are moving, Urban Space 5 ton trucks, construction trucks can park and no one policing the area to ensure people are following some sense of order. It doesn't really affect me but I have two small dogs and it's always a concern walking through. Suggestions: Set days and times for moving, don't let some cars park there all day, and empower the concierge team to manage the congestion Fixtures in our unit are old but overall not bad. The biggest issue is the lack of water pressure in the shower which no one has been able to resolve. Overall the experience is not good and the only reason I say it's okay is the location and the concierge and maintenance teams who are all really nice and helpful. I really wish these reviews were from verified residents!

They've been doing construction for 1.5 out of the 2 years that I've lived here... It never ends.

Beautiful building but the staff was terribly rude. I didn't even want to ask her name again but she clearly doesn't like her job.

I have been using Mars Hill Realty to manage my rental house in Round Rock, Texas for the last 7…read moreyears. They have done a great job responding to the tenants need and keeping my rental house in top shape. I love the fact that they are proactive in recommending repairs to various parts of the house before it becomes very expensive to fix. In addition to the superb service they provided me, they have a top notched team who treats me like family. Everyone is very professional, respectful, and caring. One of the team member whom I've had the pleasure of working with over the years is Valerie Tillery. Valerie is very knowledgeable in real estate and property management. Whenever I have a question regarding my investment property, Valerie always responded quickly with clear answers to my questions. I've always felt that Valerie takes her time to make sure that any concerns or issues I have about my property is well addressed. Under her management, my rental property was never vacant for more than a week or two between tenants. That's just the time it takes for the crew to get the house ready for the next tenant. We usually have a new tenant signed a rental agreement before the old tenant moved out. My investment house have been cash flowing nicely since my purchase. I enjoyed working with Mars Hill Realty so much that I'm in the process of closing on another property in Georgetown, Texas for them to manage. Aside from Texas, I was also looking at Florida for my second investment home. While the housing prices in Florida is comparable to Texas, the cost of investing in Florida is cheaper than Texas because they have lower property tax. So why didn't I invest in Florida? Because Mars Hill Realty does not do business there. There's no property management that I trust more than Mars Hill Realty. In fact, it was Valerie who introduced me to the neighborhood that I'm buying my second investment home in. My experience as a property investor has been really stress-free with Mars Hill Realty managing my property. If you want a property management company that takes care of your property as if it's their own, you should consider working with Mars Hill Realty. I promise that you won't regret it.

Mars Hill Realty Group is a fantastic company to work with. Specifically I worked with Bree on my…read morelease renewal and she was great and made the process so easy.

They handle many small tasks in-house as part of their fee, seem better at gauging reasonable market rates, and the vendors / contractors they have recommended have done excellent work at fair prices. I have confidence that the properties are being well maintained and that tenant issues are handled promptly. I have 2 duplexes = 4 tenants, and had to leave Austin in 2010. Have had 2 other property management companies since; one kept costs low by ignoring long-term maintenance that the tenant didn't report, the other outsourced everything ($114 to put mylar numbers on mailboxes!). With property taxes and insurance skyrocketing, I had started to go cash-negative -- until hiring Tx Property Manager. Now have the cash for preventative care like exterior painting that become more expensive when delayed.
