Neighborhood

A thriving mix of businesses, restaurants, and modest residential streets make the North Loop a popular area for Austin residents and visitors alike. Located only three miles north of the University of Texas campus and five miles north of the city center, the North Loop merges the old Austin with its new, hip identity. Long-time residents mingle with Austin transplants in this growing, energetic neighborhood.

There’s both historic Austin homes and newer apartment developments bringing new residents to the North Loop. Vintage stores brush shoulders with restaurants and coffee shops on Airport Blvd., providing plenty to do for the students and families in the area. Even though there are plenty of conveniences in this popular locale, Lamar Blvd. and the I-35 will have you in Downtown Austin in no time if you feel like venturing out.

Hidden gem!

Known as the Raphael apartments, (owned by HSU Realty) the complex is in a small neighborhood on a dead end street. It is always quiet and after being here for three years, I haven't known it to be a crime ridden area. The complex is all one level units, so there is no need to move furniture up stairs. I think it was converted from a 1950's motel. The one bedrooms feel big with vaulted ceilings. There is a pool that is open for the summer months. Cats and small dogs are allowed with $170 pet deposit. I believe there is a 6 month waiting list for these units, though that was the deal when I moved in, I'm not sure that is still an issue. Super close to two different H.E.B.'s. Also close to the trendy north loop neighborhood with houses that have been converted into bars and restaurants. Lawn care is done every Tuesday around 11 am. Pest control is done every 3 months or so. Ample off street parking. The one downfall I could think of is the laundry room has only 4 washers and 2 dryers. Rent is anywhere from $560-$600 for a 1 bedroom and I believe high $600's to mid $700's for a two bedroom. An absolutely awesome complex that I am happy to have found. The office is conveniently located less than 2 blocks away. Staff is very nice and helpful. They've always been very quick to help resolve any issues I've had. Contact the office at (512)933-9000 for more details or for availability.
