What Residents Report

M Station Apartments offers affordable rents and genuine community programs in a transit-rich East Austin location, drawing long-term residents. However, pest and mold problems persist across units despite repeated pest control visits, maintenance requests sit unaddressed, and management communication often frustrates residents trying to navigate their app-dependent systems and paperwork requirements.

Praised for
  • good location and transit access
  • quiet, well-positioned neighborhood
  • on-site support services and programs
  • affordably priced for low-income families
Watch-outs
  • severe ongoing roach and mold infestations
  • unresponsive maintenance despite repeated requests
  • annual rent increases despite income-based pricing
  • confusing or inflexible application and lease processes
  • management rudeness and lack of accountability
responsive-staffmaintenance-issuessafe-neighborhoodunresponsive-managementpoor-communication
Best for: Families seeking affordable housing close to public transit and community support services.
Think twice if: Pest control and maintenance responsiveness are ongoing concerns; expect annual rent increases and navigate all requests through their app system.

Nellie Apartments is undergoing a turnaround under new management with renovations that residents appreciate, but serious gaps remain. Recent reviews praise the refurbished units, affordable rent including utilities, and attentive staff. Older reviews and recent complaints expose persistent problems: centrally-controlled heating and AC, nonfunctional fire alarms, plumbing issues, noise from thin walls, and lapses in security. Management response to theft and safety concerns has been defensive rather than helpful.

Many residents and visitors praise the cleanliness of common spaces and the warmth of staff like Shelley Hartley, Michelle Baza, Yury Ceballos, and Cindy Moreau. The location near parks, shops, and restaurants appeals to active seniors, and Wednesday night catered dinners draw strong participation. However, recurring complaints center on elevators, A/C systems, and pool breakdowns requiring days to fix. Dog odor in hallways, pest issues, and security concerns (car vandalism, apartment break-ins) weigh heavily on some prospects. Rent hikes keep rising despite fewer amenities and services.

Staff like Bryan and Josh handle problems the same day and genuinely care. Apartments run 800 sq ft, solar-equipped, with free after-school programs and community food pantry. Subsidized rents mean rules are strict, and early years saw behavioral issues, but recent management improvements earned strong loyalty.
