I lived here for two years and I can’t say enough great things about my experience. A huge reason for my amazing time was the wonderful property management team. Anna and her team always went above and beyond to ensure that open communication was provided to residents. They even left adorable small gifts outside our doors on holidays. Those extra efforts really made this place feel like a home. I felt so safe and cared for living here and I really want to thank the property management team for all their hardwork, it really stood out to me. The apartments are nice and modern, with lots of natural light, and the common spaces/ floors were quiet and cleaned on a regular basis. I definitely recommend living here!

I lived at Mariposa Flats for 3 years. Now that I moved out and settled into my new place, I figured it would be a good time to leave a review. I should mention that I lived in one of their smaller studios for 1 year and then their biggest one bedroom for 2 years. Pricing: Mariposa Flats has VERY competitive pricing for studios and one bedrooms. Location: The location is perfect! I liked being near coffee shops, restaurants, and things to do. Anything downtown was only 10-15 minutes away. It was also nice going to a show at Emo's and being able to walk home. Amenities: Are the amenities going to blow you away? Not really, but that's not why I chose to live here. As of March 2024, the pool was under construction. However, when it was functioning, I enjoyed it! It was pretty at night. I also used their grill, gym, and enjoyed watching a solar eclipse from the rooftop! Space: If there's one thing that Mariposa Flats knows how to do it's make great use of space. This complex has HUGE bathrooms and showers. Staff: The leasing office staff at Mariposa Flats is 10/10! Since I lived there for 3 years, they did go through management changes but their level of care never changed. When Savannah worked there, she kept the complex clean and organized. Now that Anna works at the leasing office, she's just as fantastic! She's quick to respond to emails and texts. On Valentine's Day, Anna even left a little surprise for all of the tenants. I can tell that she cares about the people that live here and that level of professionalism is hard to find at other complexes. Maintenance was also always great! Access to the apartment: I'll be the first to admit that accessibility used to be a big headache at Mariposa Flats. Deliveries and guests had to either be let in by a tenant or through the leasing office entrance. This was a pain since I wasn't always at home and it was annoying to have to go down to let someone in if they didn't have a clicker. Thankfully, this is no longer the case! The leasing office stepped it up and went virtual! The ButterflyMX app (an access control company) simplified access. Though this change took place during the last few months of living there, I was still able to easily let in guests through the app or keypad code. Changes like this show how much this complex is willing to listen to their tenants and make things better. Studio: When I first moved to Austin, I was scared that I wouldn't know the best area to live in. I was familiar with the 78741 zip code so I chose to stay in this area. I first found out about this complex through an apartment locator. Needless to say, I chose this place and lived in their studio for 1 year. It was spacious, clean, modern, and most importantly... I felt safe. One bedroom with a den: I spent the majority of my time living in their one bedroom and den combo. The flooring of my unit was different (brown instead of gray), but I still really loved this unit. My partner and I made use of the very spacious kitchen. Since I worked from home, I used the den as an office/ gym. It wasn't the biggest space ever, but it worked for me. The apartment was big, modern, faced the pool, and best of all... I NEVER heard anyone through my walls. This was very important to me since I worked from home and frequently had meetings. Photos: The photos I attached are all from the time I lived in a studio unit. For some odd reason, I never took any photos of the one bedroom with a den unit! To make up for that, I attached two photos of my dogs while they were at Mariposa Flats. Luna (the black dog) lived with me there and she said she rates these apartments 10/10 dog treats (that's a big compliment from her since she really likes treats). Daisy (the white dog, RIP) didn't live with me, but she visited twice and enjoyed her time and especially liked the outdoor area. Final thoughts: I loved my time at Mariposa Flats and recommend this complex! If you're considering living here, I would tell you to go for it! I don't regret it at all. I already miss living at this complex 😞

I lived in a top floor studio facing East at Mariposa Flats for a year and was very happy with the management team. Out of the many apartment complexes I’ve lived in around the US, they were the most responsive and even went above and beyond my expectations at times. Beyond the management team, the view of the expansive sky with beautiful sunrises make this a memorable part of my time in Austin. There may be some minor things to consider on the top floor, such as noise of the AC condenser units on the roof, but this may be contained to my unit. Overall, I recommend these apartments.

Amazing floor plans, amenities, quality, prices, and the friendliest employees. Working from home, I wanted to make sure that I would live in a great apartment - somewhere with a lot of natural light to keep me happy and great price to save money. Mariposa Flats checked out all the boxes. While living here, I felt like my apartment was my sanctuary. I could walk basically anywhere I wanted - HEB, lake trail, Buzzmill, USPS, Wallgreens... On top of all that, the employees are SO nice. Salvador, the handy man that helps maintain everything in great shape, always greets you with a smile and asks how your day is going. Savannah, the leasing officer, is SO friendly, responsive, and helpful. She will text you when you got mail in and if you didn't come by to pick it up before the office closes and if you package is small enough, every so often she will put it in your mail box - which is so thoughtful of her. There was this one time I accident dropped my wallet in the recycling dumpster 🤦♀️ and she really went out of her way to help me out. To summarize - if you are looking for an AMAZING place to live, Mariposa Flats is that place.

I absolutely loved my time at Mariposa Flats! It was one of the best buildings I've lived in. The staff made everything super easy and pleasant. I was looking for a studio that had really good natural lighting and Savannah offered so much attention to detail to make sure that I got a unit that fit my needs. Bonus that it is running/walking distance from the lake trail. Everything was seamless - from the application process to the couple times I needed maintenance and Sal was quick to fix. Needless to say it was perfect and I already miss living there! If the building had 2 bedrooms, it'd still be my home.
