We toured their complex last week. It's a beautiful place with amazing front desk staff. I think Megan? helped us, and she was wonderful. We didn't have an appointment and showed up almost at closing time. The unit we were interested in was already leased earlier that day, but Megan still showed us around the building and some other units we might like. She was so kind, calm, and helpful. We might or might not end up moving in here (since the available units are not an exact fit), but we had a great experience anyway. And Megan (she's the only staff there on weekends, in case I have the name wrong) made it a wonderful experience.

I had a great experience with the team at Mercury Apartments. When I had an issue with my AC, they responded incredibly quickly and had everything taken care of right away. The staff was professional, understanding, and genuinely cared about resolving the problem as efficiently as possible. It's reassuring to know that maintenance requests are handled promptly and with such great customer service. I really appreciate their responsiveness and would definitely recommend Mercury Apartments to anyone looking for a place where the management truly cares about their residents.

I don't have enough words to express how much I love this community, but I'm going to try. I've been here for over two months now, and continue to fall more and more in love with my life here each and every day. When searching for an apartment in Austin, I toured more than ten properties, but I kept coming back to The Mercury (literally). I visited three separate times to see different units as I kept changing my mind, and the team was always flexible, patient, communicative, and kind throughout the entire process. On move-in day, I received an unexpected call with some difficult family news and broke down in the leasing office. David, the building manager, offered me a sincere hug that I truly needed, and the team went above and beyond by sending cookies to my door. At a moment when I desperately wanted to be back home in PA, the irony of moving into a new apartment and being shown that I already had a true home here at The Mercury was incredibly comforting. It was in that bittersweet moment that I knew I had made the right choice by living here. The entire team is exceptional. From David, to Megan and Mackenzie in leasing, to Juan, Alfonso, and the rest of the maintenance crew, everyone is so friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares about the residents. I find myself going downstairs often just to catch up with them! The events this team puts together are unmatched - themed happy hours, goat yoga, karaoke nights, parties, and so much more. The amenities are beautiful, well-maintained, and are all new. I'm so grateful to call The Mercury home, and I plan to do so for a long time to come. I truly can't recommend this place enough... clearly :)

Loving our apartment here at Mercury. The location is great, so many eateries nearby and HEB. Apartments itself are very pretty. The blue and white with gold details had my heart when I came for the tour. The management is very sweet. A bug shout out to Megan. We love you Megan! I am def staying here for long

My partner and I have lived here since December and everything has been great. We sold our house here in Austin and decided to go back to renting for a bit. I like The Mercury because the apartments feel more like homes. We leased a 2/2 with a view of downtown. Megan was great with our move in process. Everything was super easy.
