Overview and Location Context
Soco At Alpine is a student housing property located at Austin, TX 78704, USA — in the South Congress (SoCo) neighbourhood. The address is roughly 1.5 miles from the University of Texas at Austin campus, placing it within a short drive, bike ride, or bus trip of the main academic buildings. The surrounding area is known for food, coffee, and bar options, and the property sits close enough to the airport and downtown to access both without living directly in either zone.
The property lists three unit types: studio, one-bedroom (1b), and apartment (the category may include shared or larger configurations). Tags on the listing indicate Internet, a courtyard, and laundry facilities are available on-site. No minimum lease term is provided, so rental flexibility may be negotiable. The earliest available move-in date is 6 July 2026.
Price Positioning in Austin’s Student Market
The monthly price range for Soco At Alpine is $699 to $749 per month. For context, Austin’s lowest-priced student housing option on the platform starts at $369 per month. That means Soco At Alpine commands roughly double the city’s entry-level rent. For a studio or one-bedroom in a central Austin neighbourhood, this range sits in the mid-tier — not the cheapest, but not the most expensive.
All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator before signing any agreement. The deposit amount is not listed (null), so ask the management what is required at move-in.
Room Types and Availability
The unit types offered are: studio, one-bedroom, and apartment. The price range of $699–749 likely covers both studios and one-bedroom units, though the exact rent per unit type is not broken down in the data. Apartment units may be priced differently or vary by size.
Available from: 6 July 2026. That date aligns with a typical early-summer or mid-summer move-in, common for fall semester lease starts at Austin student housing. If you need a unit before that date, contact the property directly.
Amenities tagged: Internet, courtyard, laundry facility. No other utility inclusion (water, electricity, gas) is mentioned — verify with the building manager.
What Residents Actually Say
The property has 15 Google reviews with an average rating of 2.8 out of 5. Three reviews are provided in the dataset. All quotes below are verbatim from those reviews.
Maximillian Zaccone (Rating: 1/5)
“Would you like to pay ~1000 dollars a month for an apartment infested with roaches? Common area is unsanitary due to pet owners letting their animals shit everywhere. Avoid this miserable place! The homeless people camping in the woods across the street are better off; at least they aren’t paying rent.”
Hunter Hall (Rating: 1/5)
“Rent was cheap, but peace of mind isn’t. Poorly managed. Great neighborhood around some fun food/coffee/bar options, and close enough to the airport and downtown without dealing with the downsides of either. However… My bedroom flooded multiple times, basically any time it rained hard. I lived with dam bags to catch/”
Morgan Koobs (Rating: 5/5)
“I have lived here for almost two years now and have really enjoyed it! My apartment is one of the smaller ones but it’s great for one person and I love my patio. I like the gated parking, how nice and quick maintenance is, and the location is great. It’s in a good area and people are friendly, plus there is recycling.”
These three reviews show two strongly negative experiences (roaches, flooding, sanitation, management) and one positive long-term experience (maintenance, location, patio, parking). The 2.8 average rating from 15 reviews suggests the negative experiences are not outliers but are balanced by a smaller number of satisfied residents.
Who This Residence Suits and Who It Doesn’t
May suit:
- Residents who want to live in the SoCo area with walkable restaurants, coffee shops, and bars
- Students who drive and need gated parking
- Those looking for a studio or one-bedroom unit with a private patio (as described by at least one resident)
- People who want on-site laundry and Internet included
- Students who value recycling availability
May not suit:
- Anyone concerned about pest control (roaches mentioned in one review)
- Residents worried about interior flooding during heavy rain (mentioned in one review)
- Those who require consistently clean common areas and strict pet-waste enforcement
- Students on a tight budget (the property is about 90% above the Austin from-price of $369)
- People seeking a well-managed property with high management responsiveness (one review calls management poor)
Booking Timing and Practical Notes
The listed available date is 6 July 2026. For students starting classes at the University of Texas at Austin in late August, this move-in date is early enough to settle in before the semester begins. If you need an earlier move-in (June or late May), check with the operator whether early occupancy is possible.
Because the property has only 15 reviews and a 2.8 rating, consider asking for a virtual or in-person tour, especially to inspect the condition of the unit and common areas. Ask about flood history, pest control frequency, and pet policy enforcement.
No minimum lease term is given — that may mean shorter leases (semester or monthly) are negotiable, but confirm directly.
