Update.... One star until they can get their fire alarm system under control.... This has been a constant issue for building 2 for over a month. The property and location are nice. The property has a very nice fitness center in addition to 3 swimming pools and various lounges. The only issue with the amenities is the lack of access to certain amenities afterhours. Management here seems to think the residents will abuse the spaces if allowed to use them after hours. Everything has fob access and cameras so I don't know if I really buy their story about that. It may just be a money grab to force people to pay reservation fees for those spaces. Proximity to the river and the trail amenities are top notch. Lots of grassy area and trails make for a fairly dog friendly environment. Hussein from maintenance has been very responsive and work orders seem to be completed within a day or two. Resident parking is in designated garages and seems to be plentiful. Guest parking spaces seem to be extremely limited in the garages (about 5 spaces in the blg 2 garage) but there is also 2 hour street parking as an option in front of the building on Shore District Drive. As far as the application process here, it's a different story for a different day. Let's just say their application procedures left a lot to be desired and I found many of their practices to be unethical at best and illegal at worst.

Hussein has been great with helping me out with some hiccups after moving in. The ceiling was leaking and I put in a service request and he came promptly, found the issue with the HVAC system and resolved it all in one day. He even came back the next week to ensure everything was still working properly! It was greatly appreciated.

I cannot say enough good things about maintenance here, in particular Hussein. He is the best and has been an amazing help throughout our years living here. He handles every service request with a great attitude and always makes sure things are done the right way. He truly goes above and beyond, and we really appreciate how reliable and thoughtful he is!

I've been a resident at Bell South Shore for a year now, and it has consistently been a great place to call home. However, the recent management change has truly elevated the community to another level! Jolene has been an absolute standout during this transition. Her helpfulness and dedication have made a noticeable positive impact on the entire property. It's clear she's committed to making Bell South Shore the best it can be. The maintenance team here continues to be fantastic. Over the past year, they have always been incredibly responsive and on top of any issues that arise. Living on a top floor unit, we've honestly experienced very few problems throughout the year, which speaks volumes about the quality of the apartments. And let's not forget the beautiful pool area – it's truly a wonderful pool to enjoy year-round. Finally, considering the layout and the overall quality of the community, the rent is quite fair, especially when compared to other apartments in the area. The only garage-related issue I encountered in the past year was when the door malfunctioned as I was leaving once. While I ended up just taking an Uber that time, I was impressed by how quickly maintenance addressed and fixed the problem. I've also found the bathrooms here to be surprisingly spacious, which is definitely a plus. You don't feel cramped at all. After a year here, I can confidently say that if you're looking for a fantastic place to live in Austin, look no further than Bell South Shore! I look forward to another year here.

Fantastic apartment building. I’ve lived here for 2 months now and have spoken with management on numerous occasions and each interaction had been very professional and polite. The staff goes above and beyond, Jolene and Joy are awesome. Maintenance requests are completed quickly and the amenities are always kept in great condition. Premises are cleaned regularly. The area is also safe, I was worried from what I heard about south riverside previously but I walk my dog every night between 10-12a and have never felt unsafe. Probably the nicest apartment gym in Austin, and being a 1 minute walk to lady bird is just perfect. So far has been my favorite apartment unit in Austin.
