Property Ratings at 5th Street Commons
I moved into the property about two months ago after signing the lease site unseen - didn't really know what I was getting into but the apartment was better than what was shown in the pictures The location is great being walking distance from Zilker/Barton Springs, great bars (Dons, Deep eddys, and mean eyed cat) and in between some grocery stores Wish there was a way to opt out of the garbage valet service since im never home in time for it but its not an outrageous fee Leasing staff is kind and professional - same with the maintenance.
Property Manager at 5th Street Commons, Responded To This Review
Thanks for the wondeful review of 5th Street Commons! We love hearing about experiences such as this and look forward to continuing to work with you!
Great location! Amazing staff. Property is right downtown so there are always "questionable" individuals roaming around but if you remember to lock your apartment and keep your car clean you're fine. Never an issue for me!
Property Manager at 5th Street Commons, Responded To This Review
Thanks for the review! We hope you have a great rest of your week!
I’ve lived in this building for almost 4 years now in the same apartment, and I absolutely love it here! The Leasing Office is always open and a life person is available when needed, and the maintenance service here is top-notch. Other tenants are extremely respectful and private, making my apartment a lovely, safe, and peaceful environment. I can’t imagine living any place else!

Love the location and property. Its amenities are solid and it’s very walkable. I wanted to be close to downtown and it’s perfectly nestled close to the lake trails.

Hello Kade! Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy you are enjoying your time as a resident with us so far! -5th Street Commons Management
I have lived at 5th Street for almost 2 years now and have loved living here. The location is very conveniently located to downtown and the walking trail. The community is very quiet, which is a positive. Maintenance and management have been responsive and helpful with any issues that have come up. I would be aware that there is a train that goes past fairly often, but the building does a good job of blocking the noise. The gym is on the smaller side but has all of the essentials. I have had no issues with parking. I would recommend living here to anyone who wants to be close to downtown, but not directly in it.

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words! We are happy that we have been able to provide you a quiet and comfortable home and that you are enjoying your time here at 5th Street Commons! -Your Team @5th Street Commons
Coming up on second and likely last year here. What has kept me mainly is the convenience of this area. Downtown & trail is a 10-15 minute walk and being adjacent to mopac but barely north of the river makes it easy to be anywhere(especially west). The management keeps up but isn't especially great. High fees on services that aren't really relevant like trash pickup(no one uses) is a headscratcher. Would be nice if leasing office ever had their lights on as well for key replacements, etc. But overall best value for location by far. If you want to be within 5 minutes of downtown for under 1.5-2k a room this is it besides the occasional Clarksville bungalow. Oh and get used to the train that runs in between ceasar and 5th at any hour of the day...

Property Manager at 5th Street Commons, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your kind review and feedback; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at 5th Street Commons Apartments!
We have lived here for a few months now and everything has been great. Our apartment has a modern, open floor plan with spacious storage in the kitchen and closets. The area is quiet except for occasional train noise, but the parking garage sits between the apartment units and train tracks so that muffles the noise. The pool and gym are both simple/small but still good amenities. It is nice to park in the garage because our cars are protected by a gate and out of the elements, and we can park on the same level as our apartment so it is a short walk to our front door. We have not had any serious maintenance issues, but when small things come up (for example a lightbulb burns out) it is easy to submit a request online. Then, our section of apartments has one designated maintenance worker, Brandon, who always quickly and effectively fixes any issues we have.

This community is in the perfect location for my interests. I have quick access to the lake for paddle boarding and can walk to several restaurants/bars. I love being close enough to downtown without having to deal with traffic and limited parking.

Multi-year resident. The entire time I have lived here there has been nearly constant trespassing and theft within this "locked" building and gated resident parking garage. There have been at least three car thefts, many more car break-ins (broken windows), package thefts right in front of our doors, storage unit break-ins. I myself lost a $350 item and the management shrugged. Greystar is unable or unwilling to stop or even reduce the frequency. They have not been forthcoming about the incidents in most cases (I hesitate to say they lie but...). My information comes from neighbors and friends in the complex. The most important thing you should know if you move here - there are trespassers in our hallways during the nighttime - beware. Another issue is with trash being left out in the hallways. This seems to be caused by a required $30 trash valet thing where you leave your trash out and it's picked up, even though there is a trash chute down the hall. Who wants to see and smell trash as you walk down the hall?? And you get charged for city trash removal on top of the $30. Otherwise it's good for dogs here, which could also help with protection. Rent is shooting through the roof as well and I'll likely be priced out when my lease ends.

Yhank you for leaving us feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your experience was not a positive one. It is discouraging to learn of your experience with us. Your feedback helps us improve and continue to strive to operate the best that we are able.
Brandon from the maintenance team is the best! He's super responsive and fixes everything really quickly. He has helped fix random things in my apartment numerous times. 5th St Commons is very lucky to have him. Location of these apartments are great! I regularly walk to West 6th for bars, Clarksville for restaurants, Whole Foods, HEB, Zilker, and Barton Springs. I love the location, it's in a safe quiet neighborhood, but close to downtown so you're apart of all the action!
Property Manager at 5th Street Commons, Responded To This Review
Hi, reviews like this give us motivation and help us ensure we provide high-quality care.
I have been a 5th street commons resident for less than two years. Since I have lived in this complex, three vehicles have been stolen from the complex parking garage-including my own car. I have reached out to the regional manager, Greystar’s office in Austin, and to Greystar’s corporate office to explain my concerns and have not been able to get in contact with anyone. I feel that management has handled this situation extremely poorly and does not prioritize the safety and concerns of their residents. Each door/entrance to the building requires a key fob to get inside. However, non-residents are still able to successfully enter the building and constantly steal packages, go through storage units and even worse, resident cars. I truly feel that safety/theft issues here will only continue increase due to the lack of action taken by management. Greystar/5th Street Commons management have failed to implement any changes to security and surveillance with the increase of crime in the building. I no longer feel that this apartment is home nor safe and am looking forward to my lease ending.

I just moved into 5th Street Commons and I am blown away by the professionalism of the staff, the complex, and amenities. The location is terrific and within walking distance to downtown. The apartment itself (two-bedroom/bath) is spacious and rooms have large windows that allow plenty of natural light in. The complex has a well-equipped gym and a track-style swimming pool, which is all included in your rent. If you have guests over, there is also plenty of parking available. The rent is fairly pricey, but you're ultimately paying for the location/amenities. There isn't anything around that is cheaper for the same quality. I would highly recommend 5th Street Commons to anyone looking for a high-quality apartment community centrally located in Austin.

Security at this building is great, especially as a woman living alone. I like that you fob to get in the building and fob on the elevator.

I have been here couple months already the alarms go off at odd hours like 4am in the morning. The office is understaffed for maintenance and cleaniness overall. Residents just leave the garbage overnight causing the hallway to stink the garbage room is closed so people leave garbage just out. Overall lack of accountability and customer service. Please be aware before signing lease here

I've lived at 5th Street Commons for about a year now. After living in a very bad apartment situation prior, 5th Street Commons has been a walk in the park. Pros: The staff is very friendly and handled the freeze earlier this year very well with constant communication. They have nice community events with free snacks, fun activities and happy hours at the Mean Eyed Cat. The pool is nice and never too crowded. This apartment has the best walls when it comes to noisy neighbors, you can even hardly hear the train that goes behind the building. This has been the only apartment I have lived in where I have so rarely had to deal with bugs inside, it creates such peace of mind. The location is ideal, it's in a safe area and has pretty much direct access to the trail to Zilker Park. Being right next to the Mean Eyed Cat is great when it's a nice day and you want to grab a drink on a patio. I live in a 2 bedroom and our floorplan has the largest kitchen I've ever seen in a 2 bedroom apartment, the bedrooms are a bit on the smaller side but it's worth it for the large kitchen/living space. AND the closets are huge!! Cons: These are minor so don't let them deter you, the pros far outweigh these. When people are in the courtyard common areas it can get a little noisy because it echos, usually this is only on Friday/Saturday nights and doesn't go too late. We had a wasp problem on our patio during the summer/spring, we probably had to spray around 30 wasps that were trying to build nests. The biggest issues have been - the trash compactor was broken for a bit and the fire alarm has gone off frequently in the early mornings due to a maintenance issue. None of these issues were the management/staff's fault, supply chain issues and short-staffed repair companies have just made things difficult. The rent is steep, but you're paying for the location and there isn't anything around that is cheaper for the same quality. Overall, I really love living at 5th Street Commons and hope to stay here as long as I can afford it.

Filthy moving in, everything is broken. They don't fix things in an adequate amount of time, the employees are rude and don't follow up. Please visit before signing a lease. Its not worth the price.

Hi there! Long term residents, like yourself; let us know that 5th Street Commons is truly a home and not just "an apartment". It is our pleasure to do all that we can to make your home a happy, comfortable, and memorable one! Sincerely, Your 5th Street Family
I would give this property no stars if possible. We lived here during transition for exactly 4 months and during that time, the fire alarm sounded almost weekly, our car window was bashed in, inside the gated parking. We were never notified of packages, we were told our children couldn’t play in the courtyard because they were disturbing residents who worked from home. There is a constant smell of marijuana in the hallways, and nearly every appliance in our apt doesn’t work and even after requests these issues weren’t addressed. Move somewhere else. This place is just awful.
