360 Condominiums

This building is a joke. Unless you are okay with waiting 10+ minutes for the elevator on a regular basis, I strongly suggest living elsewhere.

The best condo building in Austin, hands down. What makes this building so unique is not just the excellent amenities or the ideal location, it’s the people who live there and the staff that keeps everything running smoothly. Our building manager Terry and his staff are professional, friendly, and very efficient. Folks who live in our building know each other by first names and are the kind of people you would like to surround yourself with (friendly, humble, driven). The gym is perfect for any level of fitness and at certain times of the day will be completely empty and you can get an amazing workout in your own private studio. After your workout, swing down to Royal Blue for a quick snack or walk a block to Trader Joes for groceries. We are walking distance to everything downtown or you can grab a bike from the B-​Cycle station conveniently located outside the building. The design is timeless and the recent remodel of all the common areas has really improved on the overall feel.

Love our condo. #Austin condo downtown 360

This is such an amazing complex. The thing that you don’t realize until you move here is how exceptional the staff is. So helpful in every single way. Feels like a resort!

A fantastic apartment and part of Austin’s iconic skyline. The staff are as friendly and helpful as it gets, so that is mostly why this condo gets 5 stars. Any services you need from the front desk — dry cleaning pickup and drop off, visitor clearance, etc. — are easy to do. The common areas are always clean and well tended. The communications to residents are never spam.
The club room and pool area are absolutely fantastic and feels like a resort. The pool itself is a legitimate lap pool, and almost always heated. If you want to entertain a few friends, it’s a perfect location to throw a BBQ or play billiards and watch a game.
The only downsides are common to downtown. The parking garage spans 8 floors, so it is a hassle to get to the top. It is also difficult to accommodate guest parking within the apartment, but street parking is available. The biggest daily nuisance is that there are only 4 elevators for 42 floors, including the 8 floors for elevators/​lobby. At peak times in the late afternoon/​evening you may wait 5 – 10 minutes for an elevator. The nearby Whitley has 3 elevators for 16 floors, for comparison. Austin Music Hall is across the street, and residents often complain about noise late into the night. The bigger noise concern recently has been overnight construction.
Amenities are all close by — there are fantastic restaurants and bars within steps of the building, the pedestrian trail is next door so there isn’t traffic always moving around the front of the building. It’s simple to get to the hike & bike trail, and given the central location all transportation options are always accessible. The rent-​a-​bike station is right outside the building, car2gos are always close, and the buses are 2 blocks away on Guadalupe.
It’s easy to fall in love with living in Austin, and easier still when you live in a building as beautiful and convenient as 360.

I’ve been a proud homeowner here since its inception and have had nothing but good experiences. Yea the parking garage is a pain if you’re on the 8^th, but what do you want, an elevator for your car? The experience is akin to living in a resort more or less. In short, it is everything you would expect high-​rise living to be.
Of course having been a resident here, I’m well aware of what living in a downtown high-​rise says about you… And the fact is, if you care THAT MUCH about it, then consider yourself of the same image-​conscious ilk that you want to condemn.
I’ve been a proud Austinite since the mid-​80s, and sure, it’s changed a lot in the past 20 years. But the spirit of the city lies not in live music, tattoos, or weirdness, but in tolerance and mutual respect. When people from different walks of life cross paths, they look for common ground, and more often than not, find it. Sadly Austin may have gotten too big for its britches and these days keeping it weird is no less commercialized than polos and porsches.
Those that believe being «Austiney» necessitates contempt of the affluent and breathe originality like a drug are sorely missing the point. As they wave their banner of weirdness, disavow consumerism, and alienate the mainstream, we who have been here all the while look on in bewilderment, wondering when they’ll eventually start punching themselves in the face just to stand out.

I did alot of research back in 2006-​07 before placing a deposit on and eventually buying our unit. We were among the first in the building buying directly from the developer. The price per square foot was reasonable and the HOAs were significantly lower that any other condos. The location can’t be beat and facing the city is a view 2^nd to none. Sure there are more luxurious condos avaliable now, but they are way more expensive too. Condo living isn’t for everyone and if you are a person who «doesn’t play well with others» you should probably stick to a regular house where you don’t share space with people. You can see from my reviews, I don’t leave bad ones for businesses or places. my theory is if I don’t like something, I just don’t go back. I don’t get on the computer and bash it. I love living here at 360. No I don’t love every person in the building and there are things that I would change if I had my way, but I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Think Dallas but in Austin. The pool area has «noise limits» by the way, so unless you are silently tanning, you will be warned for speaking loudly or coughing.

I’ve looked at a bunch of condos in downtown and the 360 is definitely the best value (from a homeowner’s perspective) It’s got a friendly staff, friendly residents and of course the reason why you fork over the big bucks to live in this part of town… great views and location!
If you are the type that likes to mow the lawn or want peace and quiet, STAY IN THE SUBURBS. The folks that live in the 360 are empty nesters and yuppies that enjoy living in the liveliest part of town and is willing to pay for the amenities. Ok, there’s trust fund babies here too but I try to block that out.
No place is perfect and neither is this condo. Parking blows if you have a spot on one of the higher floors. I’m on the 7^th level parking deck and it takes me 1 mile of twists and turns to get out fo the garage. Waiting for elevators can be a pain during peak hours. Small drawbacks if you ask me.
This place isn’t for everyone but if you spend alot of time in downtown and get frustrated with looking for parking, I’d highly recommend living closer to your playground. Even if you work up north, virtually no traffic on 35 or Mopac in the mornings. Afternoon rush hour is a different story. But If you work downtown and make a decent paycheck, there’s no excuses… high rise living is the way to go.

+) It’s close to everything I looked for in downtown living. Close to bars, clubs, restaurants, concert venues, parks and trails. There is a private trail to Lady bird lake to take bicycle or your pets. decent restaurants and a grocery in the building.
+) Amenities: I like the pool area that makes me feel like I’m in some resort. there is no hot tub. but I don’t miss it because I probably wouldn’t use it. Gym that’s not crowded. I guess a lot of residents have a gym membership somewhere else. 24 hour front desk. I never have to pick up packages from the post office again because I wasn’t there to receive it.
+) Nice, clean, moderately fashionable room and decent quality appliances and cool lobby because it’s relatively new. 3 years there, nothing is yet to break in my condo.
-) Front desk people used to be much more professional and nice. Now they seem to be less of quality. well, I guess the management decided to save some money.
-) noise. but if you like a quiet neighborhood, you shouldn’t really be living downtown.
-) HOA, it’s a necessary evil that comes with living in a condo. But from what I know 360 condo has the lowest per sq than any other condo downtown
-) Elevator. It’s alright when all 4 elevators are operational. It can be a hassle if one or more are are out of service.
+) Overall, it suits my lifestyle and I love it. but it’s not for everyone. I think it’s oxymoron to live there and call everyone else who lives there yuppy scum bags ^^

Great place to live, I would recommend to anyone. The complaints in the other reviews are ridiculous. Awesome views, awesome amenities, awesome place to live.

I love living here. Friendly staff, fun neighbors, and the best view!

I was one of the first to move in here. (Jul 2008) I hate to admit that I even live here. I moved here for three reasons: 1. The view. 2. The internet connection (30MB down 10MB up.) 3. Downtown
Sometimes humans do stupid things. I suggest you think twice before buying or renting here. It’s infested with the evil enemy of this great city — yuppie scum bags. They’re everywhere here. But what did I expect? Rich artists? Rich musicians? Rich revolutionaries? HAHA…
The elevators suck BIG TIME, be prepared to wait for one for a long time. And while you wait, you can have some brainwashing stockmarket news channel blaring at you the whole time. (there’s TV’S on every floor mounted in the wall where the elevator button is.) and when it does finally arrive, be prepared to be jammed packed with the plague of the nation. To say the least — I take the stairs a lot. Only problem is the stairs lock behind you on each floor, so there’s no getting out if you get in. you’re forced to walk all the way down to the bottom. Feel sorry for those of you living way up there who accidentally get stuck in the stairwell. Oh, and if you happen to get past security, and actually gain entrance to the elevators, you better have a code, a card or a magic clicker. Every floor requires a unique card with privileges to access that floor.
The dudes at the front desk are cool. They know this place is a joke. Some floors do get kinda loud on the weekends. but whatever, it’s Austin and a lot of drunk trust fund kids do live here.
Overall the pool area is ridiculous. watching the palm trees sway off the top of the 9^th floor always leaves me with a strange feeling:“Am i part of the problem???” Umm yeah… The pool’s heated, but there’s no jacuzzi. The gym is all right… usually there’s no one there (except between 5−7pm)
Mail guy is cool… and I’ll say that the pets are probably the best part about this place. Some are ugly and look just like their owners, others are cute, and. well, look just like their owners.
There’s a pretty cool art gallery downstairs if youre into buying overpriced art and while youre at it, there’s a new overpriced convenient store on the corner too…
OK, the last thing I want to criticize is the parking garage. IT SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. Like seriously, I think every one living here has either scraped the side of their car on a cement column here or have come very close to doing so. It’s truly a pain in the ass to park here. The garage is too damn tight. Can’t even get around the corners when another car is coming. Some people have to park 9 floors up… I clocked the distance from the top of the garage to the street — It’s 1.1 miles… HA! INSANE!
Anyway, whatever this place is a cage and a perfect prison if you’re into that sorta thing… if the economy keeps collapsing I’ve already got a spot picked out in the woods alongside Ladybird Lake…

We went to a friend’s downtown condo, the 44-​story 360 condo tower for a visit.
It has a great view. I can see lake Austin, frost bank and capitol clearly from her balcony.
It has a nice hang out area at the 9^th floor amenity deck in the building with pool too. I saw a lot of young people drinking beer there.
The one bedroom apartment sales price is 300K and two bedroom price is 500K. I’m wondering how those young kids can afford such an expensive apartment. probably rich parents.
Although the view the gorgeous. I will never buy it. It’s too small for my son to run around. He likes to kick the balls and run around in the house. It’s not a place for family, but new yorker style people. And my friend hates the green lights from the next building.
