Platform Apartments
2823 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Austin, TX 78702, USA

Alexander’s overview
Platform is this area's main apartment community given that it has the most options to choose from. Platform's main pool and gym area are very nice, but given that this community is scattered across multiple buildings you may have to walk to get there. Given that Platform is relatively older than the other options nearby it will feel dated. Platform still competes well in terms of value per square foot.
