I haven't lived here very long, but the time that I've lived here hasn't been bad.\r

In regard to the noise overall in the community, I think it depends on what side of the complex you live on. Austin Ranch is a pretty big development, so I would imagine that some parts are noisier than others. I live in Phase 5, and it's VERY quiet back here. Every blue moon I'll hear some drunken loudness, but it's not often, especially back here. Some of the residents are young (probably in college) but there are ""grown adults"" living here too. I'm sure during the summer there will be parties by the pool with adult beverages involved - but that's one of the pros (or cons?) of living in a community like this. \r

I haven't had to deal with the leasing office much, but when I have, they've been courteous and professional. When I moved in, there was a little mixup with the parking space that I pay rent for every month, but the complex corrected the situation and made everything right with me. \r

The grounds are pretty nice. I run in the mornings occasionally and have never felt unsafe. I also like the little shopping area with the restaurants, and Zen bar has pretty decent food. :) \r

I don't hear much noise from my neighbors. Occasionally I hear a few thumps and bumps, but nothing out of the ordinary. The apartment itself is pretty cool. I love the floorplan that I have, and the finish out is modern - black appliances and dark wood. One of the things I loved when I leased here is they have many different floorplans to meet your needs. \r

So far Austin Ranch meets my needs and I'm happy here, so I won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
