Modern Apartments — Pool Access — 1BR/1BA. ---- SCHEDULE A SHOWING ONLINE AT: http://showmojo.com/llz/c61777f040 ---- Built in 2016, this midrise sits in Stone Creek Ranch in far south Austin. It's a budget-friendly option with solid community amenities that give you more than the basics — two pools, a tanning deck, a courtyard with a water feature, outdoor grilling areas, a putting green, dog park, and bocce ball court. Covered parking and detached garages are available for an extra monthly fee. Residents mention that maintenance and management are responsive, though some have flagged security as something to stay aware of. The A1 floorplan is a 680-square-foot one-bedroom with a practical layout: granite counters, black appliances, full-size washer and dryer connections, 9-foot ceilings, and a built-in desk. There's nothing flashy here, but the space is functional and newer enough that it doesn't feel dated. You also get ceiling fans, wood-framed mirrors in the bathroom, and faux-wood blinds throughout. You're about seven miles from Google's Austin campus and Austin-Bergstrom Airport, and under five miles from St. Edward's University. Southpark Meadows is nearby for shopping and errands, and McKinney Falls State Park is a short drive if you want to get outside. This area is car-dependent — you'll need a vehicle for most trips — but access to major employers like Apple and Dell is manageable from here.
