The Bowie

Had a great experience at The Bowie. Great amenities, great units and staff is very friendly and accommodating.

While there have been a number of elevator outages (incessant issue, unfortunately), the apartment complex (Ashlyn) hosts great events regularly and the location is fantastic (next to a WF and Trader Joe’s, restaurants, lake, etc). They’re also done with their repipe project too which is big for regaining a functioning elevator, cleanliness, etc. The concierge staff (James, Ira, Caleb, etc) are nice and friendly. Bowie offers complimentary access to Lifetime which has been great. Units are well insulated too from a noise perspective. Finally, Rooftop pool is a nice touch with a great view.

I wasn’t looking for The Bowie—but it ended up being exactly what I was looking for. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the difference. The apartments are modern and thoughtfully designed, with no wasted space. Everything feels intentional and comfortable for real living. (The pool signage feels a bit commercial to me, but that’s a very small detail.) I’m very picky. I’ve lived in New York and Florida, and I don’t leave reviews easily. But this place earned it. I know some people have complained about the leasing office—but in my experience, they always solve problems promptly and professionally. Communication is clear, someone is always available, and I’ve never felt ignored or passed around. Yes, there is construction ongoing to replace the sprinkler system, but my experience during this process was outstanding. When my unit was affected, they provided a fully furnished temporary unit with cookware, essentials, and even detergent—everything ready. It felt like a hotel. When I returned, my apartment was spotlessly clean, down to the corners and closets. I was relaxed within minutes. Anyone can complain when things aren’t perfect—but what matters is how management handles it. The Bowie team handled it exceptionally well. The community here is wonderful—professional, respectful, and friendly. The atmosphere feels calm and very safe. The location is unbeatable: walking distance to restaurants, next to the lake, and surrounded by the energy of Austin. The Lifetime gym membership access is great and adds real value. A great community and a place that feels like home.

The maintenance staff is very friendly and promptly tends to work order requests. Recently had a staff member named Joshua fix up a few things in our unit and he was very nice and professional.

Updated review - management of the building has been professional and attentive, and all issues addressed. There's not really any better balance of neighborhood + building quality in all of downtown Austin.

A huge thank you to Bowie staff for their excellent communication and willingness to make this much needed re-pipe project as comfortable as possible - from planning emails to in-person meetings and discussions to have a consistent and productive schedule. It is always challenging to be displaced and truly, the re-pipe team and Bowie staff have made the process easy and manageable, which isn't always easy!

I just attended an event with my friend, and wow! I was really impressed by the staff. The manager Brandon was there and that spoke volumes to me. Marissa admitted she was very brand new but she was pretty knowledgeable about the property and neighborhood. My lease is up in a few months and I definitely have this staff at the top of my list to tour with.

I stayed at The Bowie in the guest suites recently, and the experience was top notch to that of a reputable hotel with the bonus of staying in the same building as my downtown friends. The building was clean with nice views, and the residents were friendly in passing. Amber in the office helped settle me in upon arriving, and Ashlyn gave me a short tour so I knew where everything was during my stay. It was home away from home. If this is what a daily experience is like for a regular resident, I would totally live here!

My partner and I love living at The Bowie. It's an incredible location, one of the most walkable areas in Austin. The staff are all incredibly friendly and supportive, and the amenities are top notch. Lucero in particular has been great at organizing a fun variety of community events for us to get to know our neighbors in the building. Her bright and friendly energy really suits her role! Recently we had a plant potting event for Earth Day (adorable) where we could each take home a cute plant! As someone who's still relatively new to Austin, it means a lot to me to get such easy access to meet new friends in the building. Thank you Bowie team!

The Bowie has been nothing short of amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly, professional and responsive. The maintenance requests are handled quickly and the front office ALWAYS goes above and beyond.. specifically Amber! I highly recommend The Bowie to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish and well-managed place to call home! Truly a 5-star community!

This place is amazing!! Great views and the amenities are outstanding. Amber and Ashlyn are always so helpful. Super friendly staff. If you like the downtown atmosphere this is the place to be. Right in the middle of it all!

I really do love The Bowie. It's just the absolute best location where you are just a few blocks away from all the most popping joints on the district. Also, the front desk is ALWAYS staffed with polite and courteous folks who still maintain a serious demeanor.

Amazing staff & an amazing community! I’ve had nothing but a great experience living at this community & I know all my neighbors feel the same way. Everyone is welcoming and kind & the community is well kept up & clean. Thank you for all you do Bowie team!

This property is absolutely beautiful. Amber was so nice and friendly while we toured the property. She was patient with me while I asked a million questions. She showed me all of the amenities including the beautiful pool and gym. I loved the coffee on tap in the leasing office. She also told me about the awesome resident events that they have, which all sound amazing!!

This place has everything I asked for; a stunning high-rise view, a spacious room, unbeatable proximity to all my favorite places; grocery stores, parks, clubs and restaurants. The rooftop swimming pool is incredible. Moreover, the staffs are so professional and helpful. Especially, Andrew, Mitchell and Lucero. I had seamless, professional and genuinely pleasant interactions with them. Their kindness and attentiveness, and positive energy true stood out. When you encounter such energies, you are naturally drawn to it and want to be a part of it. They made me feel completely at home on my first visit. The exceptional service and welcoming atmosphere enhanced the beauty of this place. After living here for a while, I realized it is even better than I initially thought. 1) the location - walking distance to the lake, downtown, grocery stores, bars and restaurant 2)the breathtakingly beautiful view from my room- it never gets old 3)the stunning rooftop swimming pool on top of the roof - swimming while watching the sunset and 4) spaciousness - plenty of room store extra belongings without feeling cluttered. These features truly enhance my quality of life and worth the extra cost. Lastly, the staffs have continued to be outstanding. Lucero & Mitchelle from the leasing office are not only professional but their warm and genuine smiles are contagious. Jay & Jack from Concierge are a joy to see every day - always helpful and friendly. And the maintenance team provides fast and excellent service. Living here has been a wonderful experience in every way.

Fabulous staff. Five-star service. Perfect location, incredible views and very happy to call The Bowie home.

The staff at Bowie, including Brandon, Lucero, Mitchell and Amber are nothing but friendly and hard working. They create an atmosphere that’s incredibly positive, especially for the residents. I can’t think of a better building and area to live in Austin than at The Bowie.

What a wonderful staff and experience! Mitchell was my guide and he is so knowledgeable and informative I will be back because of him!

The leasing team and management company here are absolutely amazing! The Bowie has such nice, and welcoming residents and is in an awesome location! I highly recommend checking it out!

I’ve lived at the Bowie Apartments in Austin for two years now, and I wouldn’t live anywhere else in the city. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of a safe and vibrant downtown area with easy access to everything you need. What really sets this place apart is the staff, especially the leasing agent Mitchell. He’s incredibly helpful and always there to assist with any leasing needs. And then there’s Jay, the concierge—one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Every interaction with him feels like saying hi to a long-time friend, and he truly makes the Bowie feel like home. If you’re looking for a great place to live in Austin, I highly recommend the Bowie!

Living at The Bowie in Austin has been fantastic! Mitchell and Lucero from the leasing team are incredibly kind and professional—they really go the extra mile to make sure everything's perfect. The security and concierge staff are also top-notch; they work hard, pay attention to every detail, and always have a friendly attitude. It’s a great place to call home!

Where do I start? I’ve been living at The Bowie for nearly a year now and I’m about to renew my lease! Before moving here, I considered a few options in the area, including Monarch, but ultimately chose The Bowie and have had absolutely no regrets. It was the best decision, hands down, 100%. During my apartment tour with Mitchell (who’s a super chill leasing consultant that I highly recommend), several things stood out to me: (1) The pool is located on the 36th floor! On sunny days, you’ll definitely find me out there, working from my laptop. It’s an incredible amenity with a breathtaking view—it was a major factor in why I chose The Bowie. (2) In my opinion, it’s in the best location possible. It’s literally central to everything. The bars like Rustic and Buford's are within walking distance, Lifetime is across the street, and Corepower is next door. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are nearby, so I hardly ever need to drive. I walk everywhere, and if you work from home like I do, you won’t even need a car, haha. (3) The entire leasing team—Emily, Lucero, and Mitchell—are incredibly helpful and friendly. Emily is approachable, genuinely cares about the residents, and responds quickly to any inquiries. Whenever I need something fixed or have any issues, the leasing and maintenance team is always there for me. This level of service is exactly what I expect, and this team delivers exceptionally well. As they say, you're only as good as your management team—they all deserve a raise! Also, a shout-out to Jay, one of the concierges, who’s been amazing—though we may disagree on sports teams (screw the Chiefs, go Eagles! Just kidding). (4) Other amenities like the coffee area on the 10th floor and the ability to rent out the 31st floor for private events. (5) Thanks to Lucero, there are events almost every month, which is something I always look forward to. It’s a great opportunity to meet other residents and foster a fun, friendly community atmosphere. One area that could use improvement is the speed of the elevators. They tend to be slow at times, although this has been a common issue in most luxury apartments I've lived in before. What more could you ask for? 5/5 starts I highly recommend living here! If you have any questions, feel free to message me. P.S. Currently, while the gym is closed (not sure when it will reopen), they are offering FREE Lifetime memberships for residents, which is a fantastic perk! --Andre

The best of humanity for some reason works at The Bowie, starting from Said, Jay and others at the concierge to Mitch helping during the lease process that led me to bother with my random questions and asks to the most kind person I met in Austin, Emily. Emily, many many many thanks for your graciousness, kindness and patience, Bowie management is fortunate to have you and so is everyone else who lives here. Be well all. Cheers, Kiran

I recently relocated to The Bowie, and I must say, it has been an outstanding experience! From the prime location to the well-maintained building and exceptional staff, every aspect of The Bowie makes it a wonderful place to live. A special shout-out to Lucero from the leasing office, who was instrumental in making my move smooth and hassle-free. She was attentive to all my needs, ensuring that everything was perfectly in place from the moment I arrived. The entire team here deserves applause for their dedication and hard work. Living at The Bowie has been nothing short of fantastic, and I cannot recommend it enough for anyone looking for a new home in the area. If you value a top-notch living environment supported by a stellar team, The Bowie should definitely be at the top of your list!

I love living at The Bowie! The building, amenities, and location speaks for itself but the incredible staff is what makes it truly amazing. Lucero and Mitchell with the leasing team have been so accommodating and supportive during the move-in process and I always feel well taken care of if any issue ever arrises. The front desk concierge team are so kind and personable. You can always count on being welcomed home with a smile. The maintenance team is timely and efficient even with the smallest requests. I’ve only lived here a few months but so far, it’s been a great experience!

I'm penning down some love for my stellar four years at The Bowie, and I couldn't hit send without giving a special shout-out to the leasing assistant manager legend herself – Emily! Living here has been a symphony of comfort, and Emily's been the rockstar orchestrating the melody. From the smoothest move-in to the countless rooftop pool shenanigans, she's made The Bowie feel more like a home than just an apartment. Speaking of that rooftop pool – it's basically my happy place, and I owe Emily a virtual high-five for keeping it the coolest spot in town. It's not just a pool; it's a vibe, and she's the DJ making sure the beats (and chlorine levels) are just right. Emily's got this magical talent of turning neighbors into pals and making the leasing process feel like catching up with an old friend. It's not just The Bowie; it's The Bowie with Emily's touch – a combo that's tough to beat! So here's to The Bowie, to rooftop pool dives, and to Emily – the assistant manager maestro who made these four years legendary!

Just signed a lease here. Very excited to move in! Mitchell in the leasing office was extremally helpful on getting us the unit we wanted. He had extensive knowledge of the units and was very responsive to my inquiries. I have friends and family who live here and they love it

Best property downtown can’t beat location staff is great Emily is amazing she wears many hats and I can come to her for anything property misses Carlos I hope he is doing great wherever he went Mitchell is great I recommend this property everywhere has its issues but it is comforting to know you have support Thanks y’all 😉

I have lived at the Bowie for 5 years. It’s the best location downtown. The building has an amazing social community. I moved to Austin not knowing a lot of people and quickly made many friends in the building. Amenities are solid and the units are high end. I have had positive experiences with the leasing team and concierges. Leasing manager Carlos does a great job. Leasing agent Mitchell was very helpful with my most recent renewal/unit switch. Regarding the negative reviews. It’s important to set your expectations. There will occasionally be elevators down. Maintenance issues will happen. Your rent will increase upon renewal. This is the same at every high rise. Some people move in without these expectations and get surprised and emotional. They then post a negative review, spend money to move, and then have the same issues in another building. Pro tip: lower units still have a great view and are cheaper in rent and a shorter elevator ride.

The community is amazing. Great people live and work here. Marissa at the leasing office is the best!!!

One week in and I’m really happy I made the move! The leasing office was extremely efficient and competent and were able to give me access to the unit I wanted within 48 hours. The concierge service is great, the gym provides a solid workout for a mini apartment gym, and the rooftop pool is beautiful! Any small maintenance issues have been handled quickly and they arrive to find optimal solutions. Everyone has been really friendly so far and it seems like a great community.

I took a tour a few days back here at this property. I first want to cover what is good about this place. It’s clean, well maintained, and beautiful to the eye. Now for the office staff very warm, welcoming, and friendly. Customer service on point and very professional.

While the Bowie has had issues come up, (as every place does) they are always on top of it. The gas did go out, but a concession was given to us all, which most places wouldn’t do, in my experience anyway. A fellow resident threw something down the trash chute and broke it, management quickly got us valet waste to compensate. It’s not ideal to set trash out in a high rise, but I honestly can’t think of a better solution for collecting that much trash. If you asked me how old I thought this building is, I’d say maybe a few years old but it’s really almost 10? I think? This place is gorgeous!! The view from the rooftop pool is the best I’ve seen in Austin, the apartments are just as breathtaking.

I moved in March 1, 2022. The views of the city are incredible as well as the front desk staff and my leasing agent, Dey. I've had a few maintenance requests that were handled swiftly. Regarding everyone's view on poor management, I just have yet to experience that. My tour was awesome, saw all the amenities, and my pups love floor 10's dog park. I especially love floor 31's skydeck to rest and relax at night after work. It is pricey but you'd be hard pressed to find any skyrise in Austin that isn't. I toured a few before and this was by far and away the best. Thanks for making my transition from SA to Austin so smooth.

Been at the Bowie for about 2 years. Overall my experience has been great! Staff has always been super friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Emily in leasing, concierge, maintenance, and the cleaning crew. The location and beauty of the building can’t be beat and the tenants are great - I’ve made some fabulous friends here.

I moved into The Bowie Last year during the pandemic. The move in process was seamless. The staff and concierge services were very helpful when I was moving in. Since move-in, all my maintenance requests have been taken care of . The vendors they use to fulfill the requests, really care about the work they perform. I have been impressed with the whole team at The Bowie including the concierge services! Thank you!

Moved in a few weeks back, so far so good. Staff is friendly and helpful, not to mention the place is beautiful. Super happy with my new apartment. Thank you!
