My take on Alexan Rivercrest
Seven stories tall on Parker Ln off East Riverside, this Greystar building finished in 2025 with 300 homes. The best shot in the video is from the sky lounge, with the downtown skyline straight ahead. It also shows a turf courtyard with hammocks and a gym with squat racks. Homes have ceilings of 9 feet 6 inches or more, granite, Sonos speakers, mudrooms and full-size washers and dryers.
Base rents on the official site start at $1,740 for a one-bedroom and $2,365 for a two-bedroom, with no studios available. With up to 6 weeks of base rent free on a 12-month lease, the $1,740 one-bedroom nets about $1,539 a month. The fees stack up from there: about $136 a month in fixed charges, required garage parking at $25 to $150 per vehicle, plus metered electric and water. A one-bedroom with one car lands around $1,700 before utilities. Income-qualified homes at up to 60% of area median income also exist, and I can check eligibility.
Downtown is about 8 minutes by car, UT about 11 and the airport about 12. East Riverside restaurants are a 2-minute walk, and H-E-B and the Lady Bird Lake trail are each about 5 minutes by car. Riverside and I-35 see heavy traffic and ongoing construction. Tip: ask for the exact parking price for your unit, since the $25 to $150 range moves the total a lot.
- Worth a look if
- you want a newer mid-rise just across the lake from downtown with a rooftop-style sky lounge, a podcast studio and quick I-35 access
- Look elsewhere if
- you want an all-in rent without stacked monthly fees, or a quieter street away from a busy commercial corridor
- The catch
- Required add-ons are heavy: roughly $136/mo in fixed fees plus required parking ($25-$150) and a $165 application fee, and the Riverside/I-35 corridor sees heavy traffic and ongoing construction.
