2756 Nueces Apartments

Lived here for 2 years under UT management, I like the security that the place offers ( having to use your UT id for the elevator as well as access the building after hours) However, I do think it is a bit overpriced for what you get. The elevators are ALWAYS broken ( some being broken for semesters at a time). I lived in a 2x2 and found the kitchen and living room to be spacious for the both of us. The washers and dryers are kinda low quality, and the water takes FOREVER to get hot. The worst part is that I can only get 15 minute hot showers, and my bathroom sink pressure SUCKS. The parking is pretty expensive, and the rent and cost of Parking only seem to go up every year. I know this place is better than most, but they still have some work to do. Otherwise the staff is super friendly. Oh and I love that they're one of the only apartments that will let you break your lease for graduation/military/internships!

It’s a dorm owned by UT, not an apartment. You’ll need to check in your guests, deal with UT rules and policies and also fight a competitive waitlist to live here. That being said it’s a perfectly fine building and it’s the only place in west campus that offers a 9 month lease (although it costs more)

I lived in a 4x4 at 2400 Nueces in the fall of 2022 and it's a solid apartment. Pros: • Proximity to campus. It's literally just like one block away from campus. • The interior of the apartment is a little dated, but the furniture provided is still functional. • The bed mattress provided was super soft and comfortable. • Most units have really nice views from the windows and balcony. • Since it's a UT apartment, the residents are generally pretty nice and not too loud. It's not filled with party kids like some other West Campus apartments. • The gym is solid for an apartment. It's got a decent variety of workout machines, dumbbells, and a bench press. • Any maintenance issues were resolved very quickly (often the same day.) • I liked that the key to the apartment is also your UT ID card, so I didn't have to carry another set of keys everywhere with me. • The apartment felt safe while also not being overly restrictive like a dorm. It seems that some of the older reviews said that you had to check in with the front desk if you arrived late at night, but that wasn't the case when I stayed there. All you needed to do was scan your ID outside the door if entering after like 10pm. • Probably the best pro to the apartment was that if you graduate from UT while living here (or you end up doing study-abroad the next semester), you can actually request to terminate your lease so that you don't have to pay rent for the remaining months. They also pro-rated my rent for the month when I left which was nice. Highly recommend this place if you're a senior. • In addition, they also offer a limited set of 9-month contracts if you sign very early in the cycle (like early fall semester of the previous school year). It's a nice option if you don't plan on staying over the summer. The 9-month contracts are also at the same rate as the 12-month contracts. Cons: • For a 4x4 with an attached bathroom, my rent was about $1,030 a month. It's not the most expensive place in West Campus, but depending on who you might ask, some might still find it pricey. • For being a UT apartment and having direct access to utexas internet, I thought the internet would be good. Sure if you run a speed test, it'll give you like 200-300 Mbps down, but the network itself is just pretty congested and ends up being really slow sometimes. Furthermore, the Ethernet connections would just randomly lose internet for like 5-10 seconds like a couple times a day. Super frustrating. • The mail room hours were also kind of annoying. It's not an open-access mail room, so you can only go and get your packages when an RA is present at the mail room. Sometimes, there wouldn't be someone present when the hours said there should. Also, you had to wait an additional 3 hours after a package arrived for them to process it. I guess one benefit is that packages didn't get stolen like other apartments, but it still was a bummer that sometimes you had to wait until the next day to get your package. • I think there were a couple phantom fire alarms, but it seems that's a common occurrence at most WC apartments lol. Overall, it's a nice apartment and I highly recommend staying here if you're graduating because it'll save you some money. It's not as modern-looking as some other apartments, but it's still a solid place.

I will preface this review by saying that I lived here under the old management for 1.5 years and then this past semester / summer under UT management. The old apartment management was decent enough: the front desk staff were friendly and knew me by name and were always helpful with anything I needed, maintenance orders were carried out quickly enough, and the overall atmosphere was great. It's pricey, but it's close to campus, has great amenities, and is a great place to live if you can afford it. I would have gladly lived here all 4 years.... but: Then, UT took over. This past semester has been awful. They basically turned the place into a dorm. You have to show proof you live there to a front desk person if you come in from midnight to 8 AM (inconvenient if you run in the morning). You have to register guests if they are staying overnight. They no longer allow delivery drivers to come straight to your door. In addition, the front desk staff have become extremely rude and condescending. Once, I was threatened with "disciplinary action from the provost" because I was questioning the front desk staff about a new policy they suddenly enacted. Worse yet, communication has completely broken down between the management and the tenants. All of the above policy changes come in from one day to the next, with absolutely no warning or prior emails explaining the changes. This affects me more personally since I signed my lease under old management, only to be moved into a dorm-like setting one day without any prior knowledge. However, the silver lining is that this is a really nice place to live. The floor plans are solid and the views around the building are breathtaking. My view outside of my balcony is what I will miss most about this place. Also, the walls are SOLID concrete. I have not heard a single sound coming from any of my neighbors during my 2 years here. If you can put up with the BS red tape that UT puts up, this is a really nice place. But, it's pricey. Ultimately, UT's takeover ruined this apartment building for me. Personally, I want to just write a monthly check out to management and be left alone. UT has denied that to its residents by putting up literal barriers around this apartment building.

whatever you do, do NOT live here. The staff is nice but uneducated on their own policies. The rent price is absolutely insane for what you get for your money. Elevators have a 50/50 chance of working. After being told that I could move out early after getting a subleaser in place, they did not return my final rent payment in full (fair) but lacked informing their staff on the specifics of the lease terms once the keys were turned in. Angie Gabriel, manager of resident services would not call me to clarify my questions but rather hid behind her computer screen whenever I had any questions after I asked more than twice I wanted to talk directly. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LIVE HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE THROWING YOUR MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN.
