The Shore

These people are horrible! Do NOT live here! The employees and the residents are assholes! Especially the younger woman at the front desk with brown hair!

I adore living here! After a recent break up I thought I would change up my living situation– no more dumpy apartments, no more stupid yards to deal with. I was going urban and classy.
It’s right next to Rainey and that’s a plus but also a huge con. The noise is defiantly there when you’re trying to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I don’t mind it on the weekends. From what I heard a solution is in the works.
The view is AMAZING! Beyond amazing actually. I can walk everywhere. If you’re looking for an upscale change of pace, move here. Location is on point, the actual condos are so nice, and I feel so safe living here. I’m never leaving. Ever.

The deal with the noise is — if you’re on the Rainey side of the building then you’ll probably hear it. I’m in one of the arc shaped units so I can partially see Rainey, and I barely hear it. If you’re going to move downtown, some noise goes with the territory. The concierge and the building manager are exceptional. The pool is awesome, faces the Frost Bank Tower. You can bike or walk anywhere and the Rainey bars and restaurants are well — your back yard. Plus, they have a new Royal Blue grocery in the new high rise at the end of the street. I think this place location — wise is THE best downtown. Outside the thick of 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th but easy walking distance. Plus the feed into the Town Lake trail is 50 yards away. Love it.

Best view of downtown, exceptional concierge and many many more amenities coming with the opening of the Hotel Van Zandt.

Great views of downtown!

Rented here from Dec 2011 to present (see date of the review). Was a GREAT place until Blackheart Bar opened. They started having live music Friday and Saturday nights. Then Thursdays. Then Sundays. Then Tuesdays. Due to the way the stage and this building are situated, the sound is loud on the balcony and even inside the apartment. I like live music — but when I want to hear it. And only what I want to hear. T
The city even sent an inspector out, and he agreed that it was too loud in the apartment and the building. ugh! The city has ponied up money for a solution but it seems that the permit department is behind schedule. So that just leaves us at Blackheart’s mercy. And they continue to have loud bands. So I’m moving out as soon as I can. It’s a shame that one bar can ruin it. T
The pool deck here is nice (although you can hear the music on that level, too, so beware). The location of the building is good, too, since it’s close to downtown and walkable without being in the city center. I’d give this a strong 3 if it wasn’t for Blackheart’s. Rent here at your own risk.
