Is Riverside a good value area for an Aggie grad moving to Austin?

Quick answer

It can be, especially for someone who wants access to central Austin or a Downtown job while putting more weight on apartment value. Grant generally sees Riverside as more of a value-and-commute play than a top social-lifestyle pick. Compare the exact property, immediate surroundings, management, current pricing and route to work before deciding whether the savings outweigh stronger lifestyle alternatives such as Mueller or SoCo.
