Colorful, active, dynamic, energetic, diverse – all of these apply to West Campus, and with its large amount of students in the neighborhood, it’s easy to see why. The brightly-painted buildings, the trendy little pizza joints, and even the amount of bicycles in the area help define this neighborhood as a haven for University of Texas-Austin students. But even if you aren’t a student, this neighborhood is terrific – there are plenty of apartments to choose from, the housing stock is diverse, and the location is ideal.
West Campus extends from Lamar Boulevard to “the Drag,” or Guadalupe Street. The Drag is where you’ll find a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and bars. These include local favorites like Cabo Bob’s, Halal Bros, the Spider House Café and Ballroom, and Kerbey Lane Café. On the west side, things are a little quieter with Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Greenbelt framing the area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

things are always broken or breaking and it smells weird sometimes so i say the maintenance is definitely lacking but the apartment themselves are nice however for the price and the amount of money that everyone has to pay for everything not just rent is kinda ridiculous for the experience

Horrible experience. From moving into an apartment which was not what we were told we were going to get to the dirty looking floors due to dried up paint. The maintenance is slow. We have called them so many times and still no hot water. Hot tub is always broken.

We understand how frustrating it can be when things don't go as expected, especially after moving into a new home. Please know that we take your concerns seriously.

okay. signing up for housing was pretty confusing, and had to visit in person a couple times. but other than that the place is nice. also kind of expensive.
I think that this is the best place to live on West Campus. The amenities are amazing, and the people at the front desk are the most helpful people that you can find.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The events are nice stress relievers and I love the amenities. My apartment is very homey and I like the modern designs. The maintenance team is also very timely.

I like the amenities and the apartments but I am dissapointed because they promised windows when we signed the lease, but ended up with no windows in any rooms at all and basically no sunlight at all.

I've lived at Villas on Rio for 2 years. I love my pod layout and the amenities. I also appreciate the package system update, it is much better now. My only suggestions would be to improve the elevators so they don't break all the time and letting the amenities be open 24/7!

Elevators are ALWAYS broken and poorly communicated when each elevator is broken and when they'll be fixed. The apartments themselves are okay, but very similar to many other apartments in West Campus. However, the gym is nice.
