The Guthrie

I’ve been in austin 15 years, lived in a lot of different places, but The Guthrie is by far my favorite. Total hidden gem. The community manager Gilberto and staff are hyper responsive and super professional/communicative and friendly!

One of the worst apartment complexes I have ever visited. The apartments (studio and 1b) are small as a matchbox(400sq ft n 598 sq ft) , still they are charging exorbitant rents. Not really sure why. The apartment has great amenities, which makes u wonder they built for those who might prefer to spend 90% of time outside there apartment and just want a fancy storage unit. I seriously doubt the mindset of the architect of the place, the corridors and balconies are more spacious than the living rooms or closets I saw. There are genuinely cheaper and better options in the same area, if any wants to live in an apartment not a matchbox. I think the builder, started building this property as a mall,but halfway through pivoted to residential complex.

I lived at The Guthrie for a year and wow- I'm so pleased to report how amazing of an experience it was. Maintenance issues were handled swiftly and effectively, staff was so kind and responsive, and the whole apartment was always kept very clean. I would recommend this apartment to anyone and I'm so sad I had to move, as I relocated to another city for school. A huge shout out to Angel- she was such a helpful and reliable resource when any issues arose. She truly made living here such a seamless, easy experience. Thank you all!

I’ll start with this, I really do love living here. It’s super close to my work and I love this side of town. I’m on my third lease and I’ve always been very happy with management’s response to any issues I have ever had. The only reason I couldn’t give the fifth star is because of a bad experience I had recently. Right around Memorial Day, I started to have really bad allergies. I have seasonal allergies and so it has always been recommended by my dr to stay on allergy meds year round. This advice has really helped to shorten the length of time I deal with allergies as well as the intensity. In May/June my allergies lingered for much longer than usual and were more intense than usual. Long story short, the thermostat in my apt (which had been replaced last summer) was determined to be faulty and so a situation occurred where humid air was being circulated in my apt. This led to a mold situation in the apt. I submitted a service request and they were very quick to resolve the situation which I was very happy with. I have never had mold in any apt I have ever lived in and when I realized this was the problem it was the most stressed I have ever been in my life. I had a constant headache for days, stuffy nose when at home, I couldn’t concentrate at work, I was worried about my dog’s health, and I was just generally freaked out. I had to throw away lots of stuff such as shoes, boots, clothes, blankets, pillows and probably need to replace my couch too. I requested a concession for my troubles but was denied. For me it was less about the money and more about compassion and doing the right thing. I was disappointed and many people suggested that I ask for a diff unit or even to be let out of my lease but that’s not what I wanted, I like living here despite this scary mold situation that happened. I understand that things break down especially in regards to hvac units in a state like Texas with its hot summers. Based on my experience living here, I had no doubt that they would be quick to resolve the problem and they did, and I have no doubt that they will in the future. I do hope, however, that I never have to deal with a situation with mold ever again.
