HORRIBLE. DO NOT LIVE HERE. I lived at Skyhouse for over two years. In the beginning it was great and while you are living there usually everything is fine with their customer service. Especially the front desk people. Most of them were great, especially Paul. But when new management took over under Kristy Townsend everything changed and when you move-out they try to screw you as much as possible. During my time living there multiple times my washer and dryer unit flooded. I would leave town for a weekend and come back an... read more

Really disappointing overall service. The concierge and amenities were solid. I was charged $200 for "wood damage" and $90 for cleaning upon move out, but we left the place spotless. My bike was stolen out of the garage (24 hour surveillance was advertised) and there was no assistance from Skyhouse. I parked on the top floor and concrete from a nearby construction site got all over my car (costed thousands to repair)...still no assistance from Skyhouse. The floor I lived on constantly smelled like garbage. The elevators were... read more

Don't count on management to address your problems, or even acknowledge them. If you move to Skyhouse, you should expect to be completely ignored (except of course when rent is due). I have the world's worst upstairs neighbor. That's not why I'm writing this review, since A) that's just something that comes with apartment living, and B) the leasing office of course has no way of knowing if a potential tenant will be disruptive. The real reason for this review is Skyhouse's response to the situation. I spend many sleepless ... read more

We've tried stopping by 3 times to speak with a leasing agent and each time one hasn't been available to speak with us. This most recent time, the concierge said this "wasn't a good time." After the third time stopping by and not being able to speak with a leasing agent, I'd say we aren't wanted at SkyHouse so we'll be looking elsewhere. If they required an appointment, I wish their hours would read "by appointment only." That would save us from wasting our time...

I have lived at skyhouse for almost 2 years and have liked living here. The views and apartment is beautiful. However - this apartment is NOT secure at all. The "gated parking garage" is never closed and the door is always stuck open. I had a motorcycle stolen in April 2017 and they did nothing. I bought a new bike and used a master lock made of braided steel to lock it up to the apartment. THAT BIKE JUST GOT STOLEN TOO. I asked for footage and they showed one view from a camera that was extremely dirty and you couldn't see ... read more

The great: 1. Location, location, location. This really is the main reason to live here. You have easy access to Rainey St, the Lake, and Downtown. If you're new to Austin and don't know anyone, this is a good place to live for a year to explore the city and meet some people. The good: 1. The other tenants. This used to be in the "great" section. The issue is there is high turnover of occupants (more on that later), and either current tenants don't really take care of the building and/or Skyhouse isn't really equipped... read more

Have lived here two years...was the first person to live in my unit. Worst management ever. They do not care about their tenants whatsoever. They are now filling the building with U.T. students because they are having difficulty keeping people with paying jobs. Lots of crime and fighting of college students. Not worth your time or money. Very sad to see it go down hill.

Pros: A beautiful view, it's always spectacular when you look out in the morning to see it. I'm really going to miss that part. Everyone that lives in the building is generally super nice, so that's a big plus. Being close to everything on Rainey is super great, and being right next to the lake makes living here pretty special. I like how dog-friendly it is, everyone has fun dogs that are cute to watch and interact with. And being right above Royal Blue can be really convenient. Cons: Okay, I'm going to have to unload a bit... read more

Lets see, Skyhouse is a pretty snazzy place to live. Pros: Rainey, rooftop pool, and a pretty decent community, at least when i was there. Cons: The rent increase is real.. they really don't care to keep tenants, the rent increase was too astronomical to keep living there. Also as my time progressed there were more and more changes that just degraded my experience.
