Neighborhood

South Shore is a neighborhood just south of Austin that provides endless entertainment opportunities all year round.

Just across Lady Bird Lake, bounded to the south by East Riverside Drive, this Austin suburb enjoys some of the best views of the Texas state capital. Winding river walk paths and bike lanes are draped along the northern border along the reservoir, while the eastern area of the community is dominated by Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park. A nexus of golf courses and sports fields within the park give the area an active feel.

Popular spots like The Buzz Mill and the occasional food truck popup can be found on the aforementioned East Riverside Drive — the area’s main thoroughfare. South Shore and the surrounding Riverside and Pleasant Valley neighborhoods continue to grow as renters look for apartments near the ever-growing city, but at better prices and with less hustle and bustle.

School data provided by 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.

The Breakers Apartments offer easy access to the Ann & Roy Butler trail, where you can jog, bike, paddleboard, and more! These older apartments are charming and cozy, with plenty of large trees to provide shade from the Texas heat. Management, staff and maintenance are courteous and prompt!

I have enjoyed staying at Breakers for the past year. The best part of the apartment is access and proximity to the Lady bird lake and Downtown.. I love taking walks on the trail every evening. Views of the lake and sunrise from my apartment are really good. Community is lively and peaceful and safe. Management staff are approachable and genuine. Service requests are addressed and solved quickly. The homes are slightly old, but I have not experienced any major issues.

My experience in The Breakers on the Lake so far it’s been amazing! I decided to move in here because of the beautiful views! Great location and the wonderful attention and hospitality of the manager leasing! They absolutely love their jobs and I just love it here ??

The community here is very nice and respectful. Anytime we have needed maintenance, they're reliable and quick. The rest is a good price point compared to similar apartment complexes. Free coffee from the office, pool is always clean. Also Paige from the main offices is an absolute gem, crown of the Breakers honestly. You couldn't ask for nicer staff.

The apartments themselves need upgrades. Things are continuously breaking and instead of replacing old appliances and counter tops and bathtubs they just choose cheap ways to fix them. The location is great but they just need to do more upgrades to the actual insides of the apartments not just the outside

The location is hard to beat. We love hanging out at the pool and being able to see the city skyline. The staff is always very attentive and kind. The apartment community itself is still small enough for it to feel homey inside of a big city.

I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon The Breakers when I was first looking for a place to live in Austin, and now having lived there for almost 2 years. The leasing and management staff (Paige, Ashley and Norma) are friendly, kind and very responsive. The location is fantastic and central to everything, including downtown, hiking trails, and the lake right at their doorstep. The community is social and there’s always a friendly face around. I have made great friends and memories here, watched many beautiful sunrises/sunsets, picked up paddleboarding, and rode bikes along the trail and around town. This place is special and I would recommend to those who like those types of things :)

Generally nice facilities. The staff is nothing but friendly. Some of the amenities (like the dishwasher) are on their last legs and the neighborhood isn't the best, but that comes with going with an older property in this part of Austin

Pros - Amazing Location 1 mile from downtown, literally on the lake/trail, close to I35 (but not too close) and access to the growing east 6th/rainy. - Prices are reasonable. - Office staff/repairs could not be better/fast to act. - Pool is fun Cons - Gym could use a little TLC additions, heavier dumbbells. - People could be better about picking up waste. - It's older but I like my unit.

This property is not new. This property does not have the cutting edge gym equipment or a boujee look. That being said, it is the essence of Austin and stands out as a great place to live because of the location and the STAFF. They treat you better than family and even bother to learn your name. Service issues are quickly resolved in a reasonable time and they work hard to explain things and try to avoid misunderstandings. I appreciate this place.

The breakers is a great place to live! Right by the water. Maintenance is nice and timely. And the front office staff is the best! It’s an older complex, but the location can’t be beat.

Really bad

Wayyy overpriced of what it is. Amenities are really bad and not in great physical condition did had hot water for over a month and running water for serval weeks seriously not great and they do a lot of fees btw over the average. Just my tip there are better options just down the road that are cheaper and in better shape.
