great location - you can walk to the east side, west side, rainey, wherever. Fun pool. Nice apartments with great appliances including energy efficient washers/dryers. Stubbs side is not too loud (Mohawk side is terribly loud from what I've heard) and you might have a good location to watch shows. Just make sure to ALWAYS CARRY PEPPER SPRAY with you as you're near the Arch and there are very unstable people who hang out around some of the exits (a female resident was recently assaulted and nearly dragged off by a naked man on drugs and luckily another male resident was around to intervene). Management also reserves a large number of the apartments for short term leasers (Airbnb type apps) so be ready to always be helping confused people out and never knowing what type of person your neighbor is going to be or how rowdy they will be. That said, it's very rarely an issue. Overall, this is a great apartment and I think a wonderful value and experience for any couple or single guy(s).

My decision to live here at The Beverly was based on 3 factors: value, our dogs, and location. The Beverly is located right downtown, pretty much close to everything. Easy access to the nightlife, music venues (Stubbs is next door!), and anything else youd want to be near. The vibe here at The Beverly is chill. Everyone is nice, easy going, and there arent a lot of ritzy people hanging out here. However, the building does allow smoking, so if that bothers you, look elsewhere. The management staff here is also very friendly and will do their best to take care of things for you. Heres where things get hairy The complex is a block away from the homeless shelter, which is a MASSIVE problem and should NOT be overlooked, especially for females. The other reviewer mentioning safety is not exaggerating the problem. We were promised that the apartment is very secure, and that they have a security guard patrolling the property. If safety is a concern, this is not the place for you. My girlfriend does not feel safe here, despite the bold promises the leasing staff handed out. We have never seen a security guard patrolling the building. Not once. Since living here, we have observed the following: - A homeless man wandering around the (supposed to be locked) parking garage, high on something, aggressively harassing my girlfriend at 6AM. - People having sex, littering, screaming, shooting up drugs, fighting, and plenty of other fun in the creek behind our apartment. - Aggressive panhandlers just about every single time we leave our apartment - Human waste left outside an exit door This is an old building, and very little has been done to improve things. For example, the elevator closest to our apartment has literally been broken more than its worked. Its been down MONTHS. As I type this review, its broken again. Our movers charged us an extra $150 to move us in due to this. If you think its not a big deal to take the stairs, recognize that youre parking below the 1st floor, and carrying groceries up several flights of stairs when its 100 degrees isnt ideal. The icing on the cake is that the key fob in the stairwell is also failing, which means theres a good possibility youll get locked in there. In every apartment Ive seen inside this building, the countertops were not properly sealed, leaving numerous stains and marks from previous residents, the floors scratched up, markings on the walls. Our cabinets continue to fall apart. Our fridge was defective from the day we moved in. Our dryer does not dry. Every drain was clogged with hair, and the apartment has bizarre wiring/ventilation issues. Half of our apartment stays warm, while the other is ice cold. The rest of the building is in the same shape as our apartment, if not worse. Many areas of the building reek of garbage, including the hallways, parking garage, and even the elevators + stairwells. For dog lovers It has a huge dog park! The only problem with the dog park is that its made of sharp little rocks. Our German Shepherd is a ball dog, and has cut his paws twice, to the point where weve had to take him to the vet. While most of the dogs here at the building are very sweet, there are a few aggressive dogs that are somehow still allowed in the dog park off leash. Overall, Id highly recommend looking at some other downtown apartments before trying to save a few hundred bucks per month on rent. You can find much nicer buildings for around the same price point.

BE SAFE - this place is a great location but it's very sketchy. We were assaulted by a naked man on drugs right outside of the apartment - very traumatizing as he attempted to drag away my wife before I was able to get to them. The same place where a few years ago, people were run over during SXSW by a drunk driver. There are homeless people (mostly all nice) that squat right outside of all exits. I say mostly nice because although not typically violent they are mostly all verbally abusive. They also hang out in the creek right behind the pool. Do not move here if you are a single female. It is NOT safe for you. Find somewhere not so close to the ARCH. I really hate to say that but it's true. Also keep in mind, many of the units are rented out by the property owners via Air BnB type apps. So, although you may feel safe inside the building, management would have no way of giving background checks to the many overnighters who are staying in your apartment building just to go out and get hammered on 6th street. Having lived here since 2013, I'm bummed to be writing this review but it is what it is. The place has gone downhill and is only suitable for people who can hold their own against possible attack by large, aggressive, mentally unstable men.

I've been living here for about four years and it's been great! The location is great! It's close to 6th Street, East 6th Street, and Rainy Street. The pool area is great right next to Waller Creek. I would definitely recommend living here!
