Ok, avoid this place. A totally attrocious lease office. We leased a nice 2br that has wall-to-wall carpets (we didn’t think much of it). Now I’m having very strong allergy to their cheap artificial carpets - strong reflux, missed heartbeats due to vagus nerve irritation, etc. Air pollution numbers in the carpeted rooms are crazy. We asked 3 times to move us. They have available appartments that are not carpeted. And they are declining (for the extra momey, mind you) because of some general rules that you need to live there for 6 months first. They are being so “generous” to make it 5 months, my god. So are you telling me that I have to live with this crazy allergy due to your cheap toxic carpets for the next few months? Not only that, they are telling me “everybody has allergies, they pass” and “you rented it yourself” - implying it’s on us? How would we know your carpets are freaking toxic to people? Latest is they are telling me I need to show them some docs from my doctor (extra money and time). No wonder they have available appartments with such lease operations. To management: fix your process. Zero quality customer service, robots playing by the rules. To future tenants: avoid!

I had an exceptional experience touring AMLI South Shore with Calli C.! Despite reaching out on short notice, she was incredibly accommodating and made time to show me around the entire property. Calli's energy and enthusiasm were contagious from the moment I arrived. She was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the community – from the apartment layouts to the amenities to the neighborhood perks. She took the time to answer all of my questions thoughtfully and made sure I saw everything the property had to offer. What really impressed me was the property itself – the amenities are top-notch, the units are beautiful, and the location is fantastic. But honestly, Calli's warm personality and professionalism made the experience even better. Even though I'm just exploring my options right now, she made me feel like a valued potential resident. If you're considering AMLI South Shore, I highly recommend reaching out to Calli. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine care really set her apart!

Have really enjoyed living at Amli. Such an incredible location and community. Jen in the leasing office has been so helpful and friendly since the day I toured the property. Super pleased with my decision to move here. Absolutely love living on the trail and having a food truck court yard on property. Location is always clean and feels really safe.

Jennifer at AMLI South Shore is truly one of the BEST leasing agents I’ve ever worked with! She’s incredibly bubbly, warm, and welcoming: the kind of energy that immediately makes you feel at ease. On top of that, she’s extremely knowledgeable about the property and surrounding area, which gave my clients so much confidence while touring. She gave them an amazing experience from start to finish, answering every question with patience and enthusiasm. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about creating a great tour, and Jennifer absolutely nails it every time. I absolutely love working with her and always know my clients are in great hands. If you’re touring at AMLI South Shore, ask for Jennifer! She’s a rockstar!

Moving from Australia to Austin Texas in June 2024, finding our first place to live was kind of a big deal. We were lucky to have temporary accomodation for 6 weeks to have a chance to look around in different areas and complexes. My wife and I came across AMLI South shore and immediately fell in love with it. From a location perspective, it’s probably the best place to live if needing to be close to the city. It is perfectly located along the lake and is great for outdoors, jogging, kayaking etc. The view from the community area on the top floor overlooking the lake and the city is spectacular. The staff here are excellent. Maintenance are very responsive, the pool guy Dereck takes his job very seriously and the admin staff Aidan and the team have provided an A1 service. They even signed a birthday card and dropped it off to our door. Although AMLI South Shore feels like a holiday resort it also feels like home. The residents here are also very friendly.
