The honest read

Five-star reviews praise the resort-style pool, well-equipped gym, dog park, and a handful of dedicated staff members who provide genuine care. New prospects often leave impressed by the facilities and early office interactions. However, the vast majority of recent one and two-star reviews reveal a stark gap between pre-lease service and post-lease experience. Residents report thin construction, excessive neighbor noise, unresponsive management, chronic pest issues, broken appliances left unfixed for months, and staff who become dismissive after signing. Communication breakdowns are widespread: calls and emails go unanswered, follow-ups never arrive, and lease penalties surprise residents. Several tenants broke their lease or opted for houses specifically to escape.

Recent shift: Earlier reviews (9 months ago and older) are predominantly five-star, praising amenities and specific staff members. Recent reviews (3 months to present) are predominantly one and two-star, citing management transitions, communication breakdowns, unresolved maintenance, and pest issues. A decline in office staff continuity and responsiveness appears marked after management changes.

Praised for
  • Amenities (pool, gym, dog park) are high quality and well-maintained
  • Individual staff members (Katie B, Marina, Wade, Asa) go above and beyond for residents
  • Beautiful facilities and grounds impress new prospects
  • Quick maintenance response when staff are engaged
Watch-outs
  • Poor phone/email communication from management office
  • Thin walls and single-pane windows cause excessive noise and odor bleed
  • Maintenance inconsistency: some staff dismissive or rude; AC left broken for months
  • Staff demeanor changes after lease signing; fake/dismissive behavior
  • Pest problems (ants, spiders, roaches) inadequately addressed
  • Dog waste not cleaned up despite relief stations; gates left open
  • Hidden fees and strict 60-day notice policy; misleading credit score requirements upfront
  • Building quality issues: doors/windows poorly installed; humidity problems; broken AC
  • Parking limited; garage reassignments poorly communicated
  • Move-in delays and unprofessional handling
poor-communicationnoisy-neighborsunresponsive-maintenancewell-maintainedfriendly-staffslow-maintenancepest-problems
Best for: Short-term residents who prioritize amenities and can handle construction noise; pet owners attracted to the dog park.
Think twice if: Noise sensitivity, need for responsive maintenance, or long-term lease plans. This property has severe communication gaps and construction quality issues that compound over time.

What this place gets right

  • Resort-style pool and grounds
  • Well-equipped on-site fitness center and yoga/cycling room
  • Dog park and pet spa on-site
  • Individual staff stars (Katie B, Marina) deliver exceptional care

Worth knowing

  • Staff members mentioned positively: Katie B (emergency response), Marina (leasing), Wade (property manager), Asa (maintenance), Heather (front office)
  • AC broken for months without repair; service requests marked resolved with no work done
  • Oven non-functional for four months (pest infestation; Samsung board fried)
  • Elevator required month-long repair before opening building
  • Move-in delays: apartment not ready two days before move-in; offered garage as temporary accommodation
  • Maintenance worker entered unit without announcement due to being overworked
  • Gates malfunction despite being powered and repaired; left non-operational for months
  • Gym lacked sanitizing wipes for two weeks

Beautiful finishes and amenities undercut by poor construction, excessive noise, unresponsive management, and staff persona changes after lease signing.

Dog park and pet spa well-maintained and praised; dog waste cleanup by grounds insufficient despite relief stations throughout.

Young, active residents discouraged by community atmosphere; one reviewer warned international or younger residents away due to reported bitterness among existing residents.

What happens if I need to break my lease early?
Early termination fees are charged; one resident faced a $6,400 fee. The property requires 60 days' notice to leave, even with a set lease end date.

Livano Pflugerville

3.8(111)✓ Google-verified

Livano draws strong praise for hands-on leasing staff and amenities like a well-stocked gym and pet care when operations run smoothly. However, residents consistently report frustration with office accessibility, slow maintenance responses, building quality that does not match premium pricing, and safety lapses including vehicle break-ins and shootings. The property markets itself as luxury but delivers mid-tier construction with persistent issues: hot water heaters lasting only 7-10 minutes, HVAC imbalance in townhomes driving $300-400 electric bills, and sticky floors. Amenities like the pool and coffee bar are frequently unavailable due to staffing, while trash valet fees and high water charges compound affordability concerns.

Leasing staff Trilby and Gabby consistently impress newcomers, and the property itself offers clean grounds, a gym, pool, and dog park. Post-move-in experience sours: residents face pest issues, surprise fees piling up to $400+ monthly beyond the base rent, slow responses to requests, and billing errors (duplicate insurance charges, inactive services still billed). Some praise the townhome layout compared to apartments, but management communication and fee transparency remain major pain points. The community shows potential with strong maintenance staff and event planning, yet residents report feeling misled on pricing and abandoned after signing. One new manager has drawn sharp criticism for being unhelpful and dismissive, in contrast to the assistant manager and maintenance team who are noted as professional and responsive.

4.3(165)✓ Google-verified

Living units and staff kindness earn consistent praise, but residents struggle with billing errors, cryptic lease terms, and pest issues that linger until they become visible. Maintenance responds quickly to individual requests, yet compound problems (roaches, dirty dog park, bird droppings) get ignored until residents complain; management changes and policy gaps leave tenants chasing answers across RPM corporate and the local office.
