A small, east side neighborhood with a hipster vibe, Chestnut is an affordable Austin neighborhood that’s about a mile from the University of Texas at Austin campus. Chestnut residents can hop aboard the MetroRail at M L King Jr Station and quickly get to work or school. Chestnut is located between Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and East 12th Street, extending from Chicon Street east to Airport Boulevard.
One of the neighborhood’s quirkier features is the Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata, an in-home, family-run museum of quirky collections. Tours are available with a suggested donation, where you’ll enjoy themed exhibitions as well as traveling exhibitions. Another unique landmark, the Coleto Moonlight Tower, is a historical light tower located on the corner of 13 Street and Coleto Street. Built in 1894, 31 ltowers lit up Austin and stood 164 feet tall. Today, only a few remain.

Property Ratings at Platform
We have lived here for almost four years and in that time paid almost 125k in rent. We’re good tenants, never late on rent or caused any problems. We rent a townhouse unit which has been a great space for us after selling a house. We like our neighbors, the area, how close it is to the metro and trails. The pools are also fantastic for an apartment community in Austin, although they could use new furniture and updating. That’s the nice, now for the bad. Good management and office staff have been absent throughout our time here and there is little support and care for tenants and our issues. Maintainence is overloaded and although those guys are great, they’re overworked and also not supported by the mgmt. We’ve had HVAC issues constantly for our time here (units at end of their life span) and have had 15+ work orders with fixes put off or not fully resolved. Most recently we had a very loud clanking sound only to be told we were running our unit too hard. Never had an issue for 3.5 years. We’ve also been under construction for over a year. Our townhouses since February. During that time, the construction company has frequently entered our unit without any notice. I’ve repeatedly asked the management, by email and in person, to honor our lease agreement and respect our requests to be notified first. They simply have not done so. It’s very disconcerting to come home yet again and find that workmen have been in our home. We have a 15 year old son who has been at home hiding in his room when they’ve entered and still they continue to do so with a minor at home alone. Construction was to have been completed months ago and it’s still not done. Other maintainence is not done on the community and our parking garage has a severe desecrated pigeon poop issue with cars and surfaces under a thick layer of toxic dust—something that again is not addressed. Any communication is missing, late or confusing. We’ve had other events and issues arise also but I’ve already aired so much info.This community would be great if the staff truly cared for tenants past the time they’re leasing the unit to you. We don’t plan to move but wish they’d respect and care for us as they should.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Good morning, Thank you for meeting with me regarding your concerns about construction at Platform, maintenance, etc. It is always disheartening to hear that we missed the mark, but your review allows us to see where we have fallen short. As the new community manager onsite, I hope that after our discussion and implementation of new procedures, you start to see an improvement in the level of service you are receiving, in addition to an improved living enviornment. My goal, and that of the team, is to make Calling Platform Apartments a great place to call home. As mentioned when we met - we do not want you to modify your review until you feel that we have met or exceeded your expectations. I sincerely appreciate you allowing us to address your concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you need anything else. Thank you for your residency, - Brittany Betters Community Manager
I’ve enjoyed living at Platform! The team has been super friendly and helpful. The location and amenities have been amazing. I love the layout of my apartment.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hi, your review about Platform Apartments made our day! Thanks so much for taking the time to write. It's our pleasure to assist! Let us know if anything else comes up, and take care.
Believe me when I say you do not want to live here. When I first moved in, Platform was great with nice amenities. However, the quality of living here has now plummeted, and many tenants are leaving. As you’ll see in several other reviews, construction has been ongoing for over 2 years with no end in sight. The construction has brought an onslaught of issues: poorly secured construction fencing and tarps (often moving around and hitting cars when windy), nails and other sharp construction items haphazardly left all over the complex on the ground and on balconies, trash left by construction workers on balconies, construction machines blocking cars in the parking lot, and mainly, not having access to our own balconies for over 8 months—without any sort of rent discount for not being able to use a portion of our apartments. Additionally, the complex is hardly secure, and crime has gone up immensely. In the past two months alone, there have been arrests at 4AM and armored SWAT vehicles during the day. Platform has done nothing to assuage tenants’ concerns besides one short email after the SWAT incident. And, as you’ll see in several other reviews, it’s no wonder there are so many vehicle break-ins at the complex. Half of the time, the gate arms to get into the parking lot are up or completely broken off and many lights around the complex don’t turn on in the evening making it very dark. The most baffling thing is that in the midst of construction and safety issues, they still managed to raise the rent. They just recently started doing price drops, but they’re hardly competitive. And who’s to say they won’t raise their prices back up by exorbitant amounts? My rent was raised by $400 after just one year of living at Platform. With so many new apartments in the area, I recommend going literally anywhere else.

Hello, I'm disappointed to hear you had a negative experience at our community. Our community manager would really like to speak with you about this. Please get in touch with us at platformmgr@greystar.com as soon as you have a moment. We look forward to hearing from you.
Routine (no seriously) routine, car jacking, robberies, and more personally dog bites. And not a camera on the property. The consistently tell us they won’t install any. I begged after my dog got bit and my car was broke into. Don’t recommend living here as a single woman either. The property is poorly managed and undersurveiled. There are plenty of other safer properties in the area. Literally on the same block. These properties will probably be much cheaper in a few months if the reviews and conversations I’m having with residents are to be believed. Massive amounts of people leaving.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to review us, we value your feedback. We hate to see your experience at Platform has not been 5-star worthy, as that is what we strive for. We do have cameras onsite and are happy to go over with an officer, due to everyone's privacy. If you would like to discuss your concerns in detail, we would be happy to schedule a meeting with you. Please contact platform@greystar.com to schedule. Best, Management
NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO LIVE. NOT SAFE. My car and at least seven others were broken into last night. This is the 3rd time (that we know of) in the last 3 weeks that this has happened. Cars also get broken into in other garages or outside in regular parking spaces as well. Catalytic converters, tires, etc all stolen almost weekly. On top of that management is awful and tells you to basically screw off when you report anything. Do not live here or recommend this place to anyone.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hi Owen, we hate to see you your car was broken into in our community. Please contact us with information so we can document this occurred with a Greystar Incident Report. We value your residency and want to work together to ensure Platform is a safe place to live. We look forward to hearing from you
Hi, I'm a current resident. I loved it for a while but truthfully, do NOT live here. The area isn't safe and daily, there are car break-ins, thefts, etc. For example, last night (Feb 1) there were at least 6 smash and grabs all around the complex. This has been going on for as long as I've been here (1.5 years) with my car getting targeted as well. We all complain regularly for more safety patrols and cameras but nothing is done at all. They can't be bothered. We're collectively desperate to be heard at this point so this is the best place to be honest. There are upsides like the pools of course but when it comes to the extreme hikes in rent and the inattention to basic security, this is not the place to be.

Your car will never be safe here. Ive had my car broken into 6 times, causing massive massive damage. They have added gates to “protect” the cars, which was a plus, but they are always breaking and staff is horribly slow to respond and fix. yesterday at noon, the gate to the parking lot broke and I alerted staff. They did nothing. This morning, there is at least 6 broken windows of cars. Don’t let them fool you when they talk about “security patrol” and “cameras” either. The security guard themselves have told me that they only show up for a few minutes each night. And each time ive requested the footage from the camera, the staff quickly will make every excuse up in the book to not give it to you. They have great amenities, but thats about it. Save yourself the headache.

Hello, we hate to see your experience at Platform has been short of 5-star service. If you have a police report number for your car break-ins, we would be happy to relay the footage to the assigned officer. Due to other residents' safety, we are not allowed to give anyone footage other than an officer. Thank you, Management
Great location and management/staff are very accessible and helpful.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
The platform on MLK needs to undergo new leasing management. The leasing office is rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hello, it's upsetting that you did not receive the top-notch service we strive to provide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure this issue does not happen again.
When we moved in the last tenant did not clean very well, the bedroom carpet had tons of hair and dust. Other than the cleaning and a few maintenance issues (which were resolved fast), the apartment is beautiful and so is the community!
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. Although we did not meet your move-in expectations, we will use this as a training experience when conducting any future move-ins. We always strive for 100% satisfaction, and it is great to hear that you are enjoying your new home. We hope you have a great day!
DO NOT LIVE HERE. Moving in is very difficult because there is no reserved parking, staff won't return your calls and you may arrive to a dirty apartment with broken appliances like we did.

Hi, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us, but would appreciate the chance to turn your experience around. We appreciate your honest feedback, as we are always looking for ways to improve. We would like to work towards a resolution, so if you are willing, please reach out to us at (512) 523-6060 to discuss this further.
Platform is located in a vibrant part of East Austin that has undergone significant development in the past couple years. Maintenance is quick to respond to requests, parking has been relatively painless, and the amenities have been what I'd expect at this price point.

The platform property is amazing. Amenities are great and the building is new and very up to date. However, the application process was a pain and I had to fight to the nail to get a discount that was promised to me. There was also steps in the application process that I was not informed about which resulted in even more delay.

Platform offers a wonderful luxury apartment complex experience with incredible pools, spacious rooms, and great location. I can't recommend the leasing staff enough for making the experience of signing a lease very simple. Looking forward to spending the next couple years here!

Honestly, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're 20-30, don't want to be in downtown but want to be able to get there easily, this is a great place. If you don't really care about little things (parking proximity, etc.) then you probably won't have any problems here. On the other hand, if those things are important to you, then this is not a good fit for you.

I really enjoy the platform amenities which are modern and well maintained. I am especially impressed with the gym and clubhouse available to the residents. The Platform team has done a great job in offering community events despite the pandemic. With a nearby park and hike & bike trail, the Platform apartment location makes my morning runs and workouts very easy to maintain.

Dear Resident, Thanks so much for your 5 star rating! And, thank you for choosing Platform as your home. Have a wonderful day. Michelle C, Community Manager
When I started looking for an Apartment I looked for 2 Important things.... Location and Amenities. After doing a tour of the apartments and was shown ALL the amenities, I was told AFTER I moved in that I wouldn't have access to all of the amenities shown to me. Even though its not labeled in the contract like that. For that reason my experience and view of Platform Property is 2.5 stars.

Platform is a new building with upgraded appliances and high ceilings. Fantastic amenities, when able to use. Parking is a problem, its first come first serve and sometimes have to park at other buildings and walk to mine due to insufficient number of parking sports per resident in building (building 4). I had a terrible roach problem (over 25 roaches in the 3 years I lived there including one crawling on me in the middle of the night while I was sleeping). Very poor response and problem solving to rid my roach problem resulting in me having to invest my own money to help prevent further invasions even though I was seen from pest control regularly.

Hi there, thank you so much for your positive comments about Platform!
Definitely up to date with ADA Accessibility besides it being on the 4th floor in case of a fire emergency or if elevators are down. Convenient if they were on Ground or 1st floor. Very secured place . Need to be on top of ppl/companys violating the handicap spot. Other than that I recommend platform for my wheelchair users lol
