Testimonials

When we arrived in Austin, the house was exactly what was represented on the website, and the Barkleys were even nicer and more professional than indicated in the testimonials. The Barkleys may have been the best landlords I have ever had. They and their staff are professional and personable, with a personal touch suited to East Austin. Medora even gave us some blankets for our 4 month old baby when she heard that we needed something lighter for the Austin heat. In our 3 years living in Austin, we found them to be reasonable, responsive, and very accommodating. Repairs were prompt, and they never nickel-and-dimed us. I would recommend them to anyone.

My fiancé and I moved to Austin from Minneapolis and weren't able to visit to look at apartments beforehand. We were nervous that we would be misled and end up in a bad area of town or that we would wind up with a horrible apartment with horrible landlords. Luckily, I found the Barkley's website by chance and fell in love with each of their unique homes. We couldn't be happier with our choice to live at their 1300 Kirkwood location. Our apartment has beautiful floors, spacious rooms, lots of windows, a great deck and the area is surrounded with trees. Medora, John and Daniel have been extremely kind and accommodating. Any request we've had has been taken care of promptly and with great results. It's obvious they care to be the best at what they do. I would highly recommend any of their properties.

Moving to Austin was a huge step for us; as northerners, everything about the south looked different. We were so fortunate to find John Barkley's properties. Living in the Cherrywood neighborhood was a great way to get acclimated to Austin. We spent lots of time outdoors: whether it was walking our dog at Patterson park or running the Mueller path. Our neighbors were kind and hospitable; we could bike to UT easily; and home was a quiet oasis away from the noise and activity of the city. We have grown to love this city- no doubt in part to living in a great apartment within a lovely neighborhood.

Ya'll are the best landlords we have ever had! Thank you for everything!

"We have thoroughly enjoyed renting from John and Medora. The property is clean and well maintained, the staff is very professional, they allow you ultimate privacy, and if you ever need anything they are just a phone call away. My favorite part is that any repairs are most often done the day you notify them!"
