    Nice place. Lived in a two bedroom on the greenbelt. Location is prime. Nice gym. Nice pool. The lady in the office, Denise, she always planned fun activities. Wine and painting was fun. I enjoyed living here overall.

    We’ve been at RBC for almost 4 years and love the community, the pool, and the staff! The location is great and we loving having the 3 dog parks for our pup to play :)Shoutout to Annalise and Anthony for always being friendly faces at the front desk and being helpful with any requests! Also we love the events Denise and RBC puts on for the residents! The maintenance guys are top notch and always show up within 24 hrs and get the job done 💗🙌

    Great grounds & management but extremely unforgiving collections; dont be late. Ive lived here for about a year; the grounds are great the management is super nice and helpful. Special shoutout to Annalisa & Anthony they are very warm and make me feel like a welcome part of the community. I have a few months left on my lease; i am current and have paid countless late fees; as in Im current 10 months in having paid more than my (currently overpriced; not at time of lease) rent that is due relatively consistently; I havent let more than a few months accrue. Im adhd and terribly disorganized so this comes with territory. There has been virtually no flexibility with leasing; and the way I hear that Im not getting renewed is essentially an order to vacate. The apartment across from me has been empty forever theres plenty of vacancy so I cant understand rejecting a paying tenant in this market of declining rents; pardon me for taking it mildly personally. 10/10 location, 10/10 grounds, 10/10 Management (save renewals and collections). How hard is it to pay rent on time if you are able to? hard for me idk, its silly so i can be accountable to that, but doesnt mean Im not salty because i do like living here. Oh well

    Very thankful for the team and property; because of various issues - we could only view this property virtually before signing the lease and moving in. Dimitri, Ivy & Samantha have been nothing short of amazing. I really appreciate the team in helping us make this a home!

    The front office staff is amazing, friendly people!! I do have to say that when I walked in I felt very welcomed. The property is also huge with 2 pools. Love all the nature. ☺️

    The Retreat at Barton Creek, Maintenance Team, in particular Team Member Juan Juarez, is the best team maintenance team I have worked with. Anytime I submit a Maintenance Request, Juan completes the work promptly and in a very professional manner. I can always depend on the service being completed within 24-48 hours.

  • Review 7 (2025-02-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great amenities, a nearby Barton Creek Greenbelt, friendly & accommodating leasing office staff, and excellent maintenance personnel.The smile of Annalisa Loya, who is always so helpful, kind, sweet, and friendly, will make your day every time you visit the leasing office. Please contact the retreat team; I guarantee that you will receive the same excellent care that I have while I have been here. Absolutely recommended!

    Lived here for a few years and really enjoyed it. Our unit had a few occasional issues but maintenance was always there same day and very helpful. The trail and pool access is also so nice! Definitely my favorite apartment I’ve lived at in the 8 years I’ve been in Austin! Even received an email / reminder months later letting me know my deposit check they gave me was never cashed out. Thought that was really nice. :)

  • Review 9 (2024-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve lived here for a year and have really enjoyed my experience so far! I experienced an unfortunate flooding incident early on that was outside of my control and the office went above and beyond to make sure I was placed in a new apartment and handled everything fairly and generously. Denise & the other girls in the office are the absolute best! Denise & Amy were so helpful to me when dealing with moving units etc. and I always enjoy walking into the leasing office and chatting with any of the staff. They are all warm and kind. The pools and other amenities are great too. Also - in my experience maintenance always comes within 24 hours and works to solve the problem

  • Review 10 (2023-10-24 - Rating: 4)

    I lived here for 2 years. Price was good for the location and amenities. Pool is awesome. Staff is friendly and gets maintenance done within a day or two. Great experience.The only trouble I had was after I moved out. I was charged an extra $116 for repairs to my apartment after move out, which I understood because it did need drywall repair. The apartments immediately sent me to collections, then sent me the bill for $116. I paid the bill 2 days after receipt (4 days after move out). I found out when my credit was ran trying to move into my new place that I had a collection posted on my credit report, which dropped my score by 40 points. I had to speak to 8 different people at the retreat to get them to remove it because everyone kept saying it wasnt their department. They did finally remove it, but it took about 2 weeks and should have not hit my credit in the first place. I do appreciate that they actually did something to fix the problem though, as most apartments would have not even bothered to fix their mistake.

  • Review 11 (2023-10-21 - Rating: 4)

    Moved to Austin right out of college and have really enjoyed my experience so far. People are friendly, maintenance is quick, apartment is spacious. I got the partially renovated unit, which is fine its a bit outdated but the location by far makes up for it. 10 minutes from downtown and is walking distance from stores, gyms, restaurants if needed. The pool is awesome, wish the hot tub was hot especially with the change in weather. The gym is a 5/10 it gets the job done but it could be better.Honestly, my complaints are small and I would give it a 5 if it was a little less expensive but overall a great place to live glad I found it, I would recommend to anyone.As far as the homeless go, I have not had any interactions I can speak of. I just would obviously not leave anything in your car.

    This is a great place to live for many reasons but above all, Amy and Denise from the management team are dedicated to helping their residents however they can, they also run super fun experiences for residents to participate in! Their patience and care for the resident experience is what sets this place apart, plus the amazing maintenance staff being timely and thorough.Austin rent is crazy high so being able to live so close to downtown at this price and quality is next to none. Thank you The Retreat at Barton Creek for providing a great home!!

  • Review 13 (2023-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    The Retreat at Barton Creek is a beautiful apartment complex in the heart of Austin, TX that is surrounded by giant old oak trees and nestled right next to hiking trails in the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Its location is perfect for spending time in the city or in nature. The apartment complex is also incredibly dog/pet friendly and is very well managed with regular site maintenance. I have lived here for two years and am sad to be leaving! The maintenance team has always been super responsive to any requests I make (problems get fixed within 48 hours), front desk management has always been supper helpful and kind, parking is easy for guests, and the property is just beautiful. I love the trees, the bridge over the water retention/detention ponds, the little trail around the pond, the dog parks, the pool & hot tub areas, and the hiking trail right from the leasing office to the green belt.

    Recently moved back to the retreat after a year stint away.Very happy to be back, very nice property, pool amenities are nice, maintenance & management are friendly.Laney was my leasing agent and did a great job, I’m a very busy individual so it’s nice to know I was in competent hands as she helped me through the process.

  • Review 15 (2024-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    The area has great food and a hiking/walking trail to Greenbelt, and the amenities are great. The management service and facilities are also exceptional cant forget about the lovely and helpful leasing team!

  • Review 16 (2023-05-12 - Rating: 4)

    Overall, this is a great place to live. The price may be a little higher than the quality of the apartments themselves, however, you cant beat the community and location. Plus the management team hosts some really nice events for residents. Maintenance is quick and professional, and the amenities are very nice - pools, dog parks, gym. Plus we have trail access to the green belt.

  • Review 17 (2023-08-25 - Rating: 4)

    Loved this place until they implemented their new parking policy: guests will need to pay $10 A DAY to park on the property.I’d be happy to add to this review what I enjoy about living here. All the Retreat has to to is pay me $10 a day or remove their ridiculous parking policy.EDIT: They removed the parking policy! Retreat is in a great location, and I’ve only had good experiences with the front office. Maintenance response time is 3/5. I personally don’t use the pool often, but I often get emails from the office saying it’s under maintenance and unavailable. Also management didn’t completely screw us on rent increase when the year over year rent increase in our area was ~40%. About once a month a food truck will park near the front office which is is a convenient way to try new types of food for cheap. Also homeless people often pass through the property. One time a homeless man was bathing in the pool

  • Review 18 (2022-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    This was definitely the best place I’ve lived in the 04. I moved out recently and I wish I could go back. It’s in the best location, tucked in the trees, mostly quiet for a busy area. (You can walk to a grocery store!) and they had these wine-down events with wines and cheese that were so much fun, the lady in the office Denise that hosted them was always SO helpful and nice. The pool is awesome too.Seriously if you’re thinking of living here, do it. I’m gonna come back when I can.

  • Review 19 (2022-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    This review isnt really for the apartment because I havent moved in yet, but Laney Garcia from the leasing office deserves a shout out. She had more than satisfactory answers for all my questions and tried her best to keep my interests at the forefront even when they didnt always align with the propertys.Ive been apartment-hunting for the last month and its so rare to come across someone as nice, competent and professional as Laney. If youre touring or applying, ask for her!

  • Review 20 (2022-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    Been living at Retreat at Barton Creek for about a month now and it’s been perfect. This is a really nice, quiet, and safe community. Noah from Smart City Locating found it for me and I couldn’t be more grateful. The community itself has so many amenities - great pools, one of which is on a cliff overlooking the greenbelt. Pretty good gym, and a trail entrance to the greenbelt. Also the community is very dog friendly. Been seeing almost everyone outside with a dog. Overall, super happy with this complex and hopefully will be staying here a long time!

  • Review 21 (2023-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    Great move in special! Excited to be here. I must say that it has been a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I first stepped into the leasing office, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism that immediately set the tone for my entire stay here.

  • Review 22 (2022-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    This review is for Denise Derrick, assistant manager, at The Retreat at Barton Creek. I lived at the retreat for three years and she was wonderful the entire time I rented there. I could not recommend working with her enough as she was always quick to respond and problem solve, was compassionate to her tenants, and was always understanding and kind. Thanks for being a part of the management team and my go to person during my lease there.

  • Review 23 (2023-08-01 - Rating: 4)

    8/1 update:Ive lived at the Retreat for 5 years and just transferred from a partially renovated to fully renovated unit. If youre moving here and have a choice, go with renovated. The look and overall quality of the apartment is night and day. Overall, I really like living here. My honest review:Pros:- Great location 3 miles from downtown, and there is a lot of good stuff within walking distance (groceries, restaurants, bars, gym). You dont have to get in your car for absolutely everything here which is rare in Austin outside of downtown.- The pools, when theyre open. More about that in cons, but the front pool is one of the best pools in all of Austin when its open.- Great neighbors and great sense of community. Ive made lifelong friends at the Retreat.- Non-urgent maintenance requests are almost always responded to within 24 hours.Cons:- Mandatory fees for services we dont need (valet trash, fetch delivery). This isnt unique to the retreat, and I would still rate the complex 5 stars if not for the next thing.- Ive lived here since 2018, so I can tell you that the front pool (the main amenity that they showcase when you come to visit) never had problems prior to the winter storm of 2021. That storm damaged the pool and it had to be drained and repaired, which it was. Since then, the pool has had nonstop problems. In each of the last 3 summers, the pool has been closed for an extended period of time at least once. Im not sure what needs to be done to fix this, but my honest recommendation is to evaluate this in October when people stop using the pool, and then if there is a major repair that needs to be done, you have 6 months to do it before people start using the pool again. Im grateful to at least have the back pool, but that is not the reason Im paying to live next to the front pool. If the issues with the front pool were fixed, I would easily rate the complex 5 stars.

    Im a locator and Ive been touring Retreat at Barton Creek for years because of their desirable location! Yes the property is older but super cute and location is to die..def dont need a car! Plus it has direct access to the hike/bike trails! Its changed managements several times over the years but my recent experience with Kasandra was awesome! She was fast, efficient and answered all my clients questions! And got them processed and approved quickly! My go-to leasing agent, ask for her!

  • Review 25 (2022-12-13 - Rating: 4)

    Lane is the shining star of this establishment. The other staff is pretty good, but Lane is the best! if I could give just her a rating it would exceed 5 stars. When my rent went from 1,400 to 2,400 because I missed an email from management, she reached out to notify me of the $1000 rent increase so that I could move out before going absolutely broke. She has also been incredibly organized and helpful when my air conditioning occasionally breaks down. Not only that but she even helped jump start my car when the battery died. Lane is the best!

  • Review 26 (2023-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    I’m so happy with my apartment, the office, my neighbors, the location-all of it ❤️❤️❤️ I’m from Austin and love being right in the center of everything within walking distance to so many fun restaurants and stores! When I was looking for an apartment I spent all day searching and when I met Denise in the office my decision was made! She told me they accepted dogs of all kinds and showed me around and just had such a calm demeanor that I was sold! I’ve been here almost a year and love it! No bugs, amazing maintenance, love it!!*been here three years now! Still love it!

  • Review 27 (2022-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    I love the retreat! Denise was so amazing at helping me to find the perfect apt! She was always available to help me over the 3 years I lived there if I ever needed anything! I love her energy and willingness to help. Thanks for making my time at the retreat that much better!

  • Review 28 (2020-10-29 - Rating: 4)

    I have lived here for 5 years. The location is outstanding with shopping, restaurants and parks all in walking distance. The management and maintenance staff has always been very responsive. If you are a pet parent, it will be hard to find a nicer place.There are reviews that speak to crime and the homeless. That does exist everywhere and is the reason I do not give the Retreat five stars. Being an open complex close to all the amenities and the Greenbelt does mean it is also accessible to all. The Retreat does have drive-through security that randomly patrols. I would recommend that all communities add parking lot cameras.The community is older. The good is that the rooms and closets tend to be bigger, the bad is the appliances tend to be older. That said the maintenance has always done a great job keeping things in shape. The windows have just been replaced and smart thermostats added.With fantastic views the pool is hard to beat. As the gym was updated the management asked the residents what they wanted to have. It was a nice touch. Even through COVID the staff does provide a community feel by having food trucks stop by and grab and go gift bags to stay connected to residents.I have enjoyed my time at the Retreat and would recommend to others.

  • Review 29 (2019-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    I am going on my third year at The Retreat and its been one of the best experiences that I have had in an apartment community. The pools are great, with an infinity pool overlooking the greenbelt. Greenbelt access from the complex. It is extremely dog friendly and located conveniently in the city. Not too fa from downtown but just far away enough to make you feel like you are. Finally, management and support staff at this complex are great! Maintenance issues are taken care of quickly and the complex grounds are well kept. And Im sure Brandi Nelson has something to do with it. She has made this place feel like home and one of the main reasons why I have renewed my lease for a third year. She takes such good care of this community and cares soo much about her job and it shows! Thank you Brandi!

  • Review 30 (2019-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    Ive lived at the Retreat for a year now and I can say that I genuinely loved my apartment. I say loved past-tense because unfortunately the rent increased to more than I could afford. I lived in the studio floor plan which feels very much like a one bedroom with a sectioned off portion-just minus a proper bedroom door. I never had any bug problems, but it could just be that my unit was located closer to Lamar than the greenbelt.Ill miss these apartments, but Ill mostly miss Josephine in the front office! Shes been wonderful the entire time Ive lived here. She remembers my name and my unit number nearly every time Ive come in to the front office.

    Such a nice and conveniently located apartment complex! The office staff is so nice especially Laney who helped me schedule a tour and explained all the benefits of living at Retreat at Barton Creek. Definitely recommend for people looking to live an authentic Austin lifestyle :)

  • Review 32 (2022-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    My wife and I have lived at The Retreat at Barton Creek for a number of years now. Weve seen management companies come and go, but in my opinion, the complex has never been better managed and tended to than it is currently.The property itself is kind of incredible, as its within walking distance of nearly every type of food you could want, at least 3 grocery stores, bars, Target, Radio Coffee, Starbucks, Pinthouse Pizza, Easy Tiger, In n Out, etc. Its a long list. The iconic Broken Spoke is just a 6 minute walk away!In addition, the property has its very own private trail to the Greenbelt. Show me another apartment complex in 78704 that has that!Under the newest management Ive seen the complex modernize with smartphone app-based tech to unlock a secure mail room, secure gym, as well as both pools. Its really easy to use, and provides peace of mind when using those amenities. Also, the complex has significantly beautified its grounds recently and installed a full fence along its South Lamar border.Weve always found maintenance to be quick and courteous. Honestly, it is not the most modern complex in Austin, but in my experience the apartments are well maintained and the more recently remodeled ones are very nice. (Ive lived in nearly every floor plan on site, at different stages of remodel.)Lastly, Id like to compliment the staff. Its not only maintenance that does a great job, as the office staff is always friendly and they all seem to try and really learn your name to make it feel like a real community. I like walking in to the office to drop off outgoing mail or to use the business center computer and hear Denise welcome me and wish me a good day. Sometimes its just the little kind details that can turn your day around.Anyway, I really like living at The Retreat at Barton Creek. No complex is perfect. We all know that. Honestly, I do feel as though this one has never been better in the nearly decade that Ive lived here. Rents are higher everywhere. Around the country. Inflation has affected the entire world, not just the US, Texas, or The Retreat at Barton Creek. I do feel as though you get more for what you pay for here.Just my opinion. Thanks.

  • Review 33 (2015-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    I honestly love living here. Its a clean, safe, happy environment. I personally enjoy the fact that there are not a lot of children living here, at least in my area. I enjoy the updated design of the apartments and the office / maintenance staff are always friendly, attentive, and efficient. Most of all, the location is great. I can walk or bike to nearly everywhere I want to go and the bus stop is right next next to the apartment complex. I would highly recommend anyone who can afford living here to do so. - 5 stars

    I moved into the Retreat at Barton Creek in January and everything has been great. My place is spacious and clean, the gym is never crowded and overlooks the greenbelt, and maintenance and office staff has always been quick to respond to any issues.Special shoutout to Amber Hunter in the front office who helped me find my new home and figure out the best deal I could get for it. Since moving in, she always remembers me when I come in the office and has always made me feel so welcome!I highly recommend this place!

    Ive loved my time living at the retreat. The location is great. Ive been here throughout the construction and I do wish that there was better cleanup and landscaping post-construction around my building. Maintenance is quick for anything Ive reported. The dog parks are a huge plus for me.

  • Review 37 (2022-08-14 - Rating: 4)

    I’ve lived here at Retreat at Barton Creek for about a year and a half, and it’s been quite a charming place. I have a small pet dog named Pepperjack, and whenever I take him for a walk, he loves to meet everybody and everything he meets- so I get to meet people this way and it’s very nice. Very pet-friendly. I truly am waiting for fall so that I can finally leave my apartment for more than three hours a day!

    I love this quiet community. My neighbors are all really nice and very respectful. The front office is amazing. Denise was the leasing associate that helped me finalize my apartment. She was soooo helpful and very helpful when I was working on my lease. I highly recommend this complex to anyone looking for a wonderful and quiet community.

  • Review 39 (2022-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    This place was great but the new management has made some pretty terrible changes. most recently partnering with a local tow company to solve a non-existent problem with parking. If you know someone who lives here, you now have to register your vehicle on a tow companys website EVERY time you go to Retreat...ridiculous.Tenant is also expected to upload their drivers license, lease agreement, and license plate number through some shady tow companys website, or theyll tow your car from your own apartment complex.what is worse is that a tenant is only allowed 6 visits per month from visitors in total - after that, visitors have to pay TEN DOLLARS just to park at the complex, even though there is an abundance of parking.Edit: to the managements credit, they heard our feedback on this parking policy and decided to not implement it

    I came in 30 minutes before myTour and when I called they said they would be happy to take me they said go ahead and walk on in, Lane showed me the property if you’re looking for something green this is definitely the go to.

  • Review 41 (2016-08-04 - Rating: 4)

    We lived at the Retreat at Barton Creek from June 2015 through June 2016 and only moved because we needed more space and we didnt find their larger apartments to be as cost effective as their smaller apartments (which we were in). The ladies in the office were always very helpful, but we never really had any problems. Love the pool areas and the monthly resident meet and greet activities which they planned! Just before we moved a new management company took over and we did have some issues with them (payment timing, communication, etc.) but that could simply be the mechanics of changing over. Even with those minor issues, Id still highly recommend these apartments! Only notes - dont live in the buildings right at Lamar, or right behind the shopping center. They will be noisier and brighter.

    I love living at the retreat! It’s been a year and my husband and I just renewed one more year! Best apartment we’ve ever lived in. Affordable and such a wonderful dog friendly place.

    Ive lived here for over a year and it is a fantastic location with lots of access to the greenbelt, and a great place for dogs. When you contact the property talk to Denise, shes spectacular and always a joy speak with. If ever theres a problem she is definitely the person who can fix it. I removed one of the stars for the maintenance thats been going on daily for a long time and the fact that the crews are here on Saturdays.

  • Review 45 (2019-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    This was my first apartment here in Austin. It has the most perfect location, right off the greenbelt and so so close to downtown.I had a very small studio that was perfect for just me, although there was not much storage space.I had an un-renovated unit, and even so everything was in perfect working order, and never ever had any pest problems, save for a couple sugar ants, but that was my fault.Maintenance orders were placed through the apartment portal, and were completed very quickly, even though this is a massive complex.The people at the office are a tad flaky in regards to rent, especially during the end of my lease; almost like they didn’t communicate to each other well.That being said, every time I went in, they were nice as could be, and tried to help as much as they could.My reason for leaving was that the inevitable rent increase after being there for over a year was getting too expensive for me.If you can afford it, these are amazing, wonderful and beautiful apartments!

    This review is for Denise, Laney, & Lombardo! I was so lucky to be apart of this team in the past and so proud to see how far they have come. Denise- is beyond knowledgeable and truly cares for the property & residents! She handles every situation with integrity and is always welcoming to staff/ residents. Laney- she is a gem! She caught on quick to the industry and she is so positive! She treats residents with respect and is a big team player! Lombardo- he is beyond funny & sweet. He truly cares about finding someone the right home and guides with great advice. This property in general is like none other in ATX. This staff truly cares!

    The Retreat is an amazing complex and has a great location. My boyfriend and I started touring places during the summer and we worked with Tristan through the entire thing. Starting with the first tour he was great! He wasn’t pushy at all (which we saw in other apartments) and we actually felt heard by him with our wants/needs. We then toured a second time when we were between two apartments and ready to decide. Tristan also worked with us then and he was a HUGE help. He went above and beyond checking on the unit we were interested in and making sure our application was in order. The apartment we leased is exactly what we wanted and more. We loved the staff through the entire process and love living here!

    Great place to live. Friendly management and neighbors. Denise is the onsite property manager and our interactions are always professional. The entire team is responsive.

    Ive only been here a few months now, but I love the place! The office staff is polite, the maintenance crew responded in 30 minutes to our work order, the location is awesome, pool is even better (it has two), and the neighbors are all so nice. I would recommend this place to anyone and so far, Im looking forward to re-leasing (I know, its a while from now, but Ive got a good feeling). If things change, Ill re-review, but so far so great!

    I had a great experience with the leasing agent Kasandra. She was so helpful and communicative. This is a great community. It has private access to the Greenbelt trails, near the 803 express bus, and there’s a supermarket next door!

  • Review 52 (2015-02-26 - Rating: 4)

    The location is awesome! The office staff are the coolest people youll ever meet! I love the events they have for their residents. Only thing I dislike is the payment system. They use the ancient art of check writing or $ orders. Id prefer they use an online payments system. i also dislike the maintenance request system. You have to call a 100 number to have anything fix. most of the time they are very fast but I just dont understand why I cant just speak directly to someone on the property.

    I have lived in the Retreat since July and I absolutely love it here! It is very clean, the neighborhood is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly, especially Bobby! Its a great place for dog owners because there are 3 awesome dog parks and there is easy access to the Greenbelt.

    This is a review for Lane - she works at the front office. She made my move into a new unit super smooth and answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. She is super professional and cares about the community. The retreat is lucky to have her.

    Thanks to my apartment locator I found my new home! It’s perfect for my fiancé and I looking for a 2 bedroom so that we can finally have an office in this work from home age. We’ve loved spending as much time as possible out by the pools and our private patio.

    Even though I just recently moved in I am so far impressed with the complex. Moving in has never been easier and the staff is all really helpful and friendly. Its a great location and the apartments are well kept. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, reasonably priced apartment in this location.

    Super dog friendly with several dog parks and lengthy hiking trails. Backs up to the greenbelt. The main pool has stunning views of the greenbelt. Units are nicely remodeled and renovated. A great place to live!

  • Review 61 (2022-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve had several experiencing on a personal and professional work level with the retreat at barton creek. All of those experiences are top notch—between the manager, Faye, and her kind and approachable professionalism as well as leasing professionals like Melissa who are the heart and soul of the community, the retreat at barton creek deserves the accolades that it had received in previous years.The location is perfect for a walkable lifestyle with quick access to the highlights of Austin (SOCO, SOLA, Zilker, DT, Eastside) and the dynamic community they have built with 🔥 🔥 🔥 resident events makes retreat at barton creek THE place to call home.Cash me at dat infinity edge greenbelt view pool tho 👀

  • Review 62 (2015-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    Other than the stuff you guys cant help, like the actual layout of the floor plan, I really love living here. I love the location, I love the trees, I love that there is a dog park (although the fence and the water faucet need some work) and I love how safe the complex feels. I disagree with the use of valet trash but thats almost everywhere now. Anyways, I really love this place and will be sad to leave due to my work commute

    The name says it all for The Retreat at Barton Creek. It truly is a getaway retreat. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing. My respite after work. The crème de la crème is Denise Derrick. She truly has made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The Retreat at Barton Creek is a better experience for everyone by having Denise as an employee.

    The management is very responsive, even better than our stay in New York City! The grounds are great; its very green and a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of city life yet extremely close/accessible to it all. And how do you beat access to the Greenbelt??

  • Review 67 (2021-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    I chose to live here mainly because of the local area. Being new to Austin (Oct, 2019 from the UK), I observed that South Lamar has a plethora of Bars and Restaurants, and is also very close to the center of Austin and SoCo, both of which offer many interesting places and activities. Hence many opportunities to meet people and make new friends.Soon after I moved in the first Covid-19 lockdown occurred, which firmly put the kybosh on socializing and meeting people.During the BigFreeze I met some very nice residents through necessity and have maintained those contacts. Also, now that things have opened up I have come to realize the diversity of residents and all that Ive had contact with have been very personable.The management, service and facilities are also exceptional. Plus, I like the community events.I reckon this will be my home for some considerable time to come.

  • Review 68 (2015-05-08 - Rating: 4)

    Staff is always super nice in the office and always helpful with any issues. Great at calling me if I have a package in the office. Even a few people know me by name which is always nice because I feel like they actually care about helping with any needs I have. The only thing im concerned with is this summer and the pool situation, can often get over crowded and I know not all the people are residents.

  • Review 69 (2015-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    The staff at the Retreat is great--welcoming, helpful, and they remember you. I also appreciate the fact that the complex is animal friendly and makes sure even pets feel like part of the community. The complex is quiet, my neighbors are friendly, and the location is fantastic--adjacent to the Barton Creek greenbelt, right on Lamar, close to 71, 360, and Mo-Pac. Its a 10 minute walk to grocery stores (the new Wheatsville Co-op and Sprouts) too. There are two pools which is great during the hot Texas summers! There is a waste valet service, although I would prefer to save the cost of this and take my own trash out, you are unable to opt out. The apartments are a good size, although the bathrooms are a little small. And sometimes parking can be a little crowded, but usually its not a problem.

    Bobby gives nothing but his all. Every time he has came to make a repair in my residence he has been courteous, insightful, and generous. One time he even brought a bottle of wine for me because my washing machine was too loud. It was amazing. Best wine I have ever had.

  • Review 71 (2021-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    I am an apartment locator and I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about the staffing at this property. Melissa and Tristian are ANGELS and seriously are killing it. I havent chatted with Hannah as much, but when I have she has been equally as wonderful. This complex is truly a beautiful gem in south central (with freaking trail access) and I cannot wait to move there myself!
