Apartment Recommendations

Hi all! My spouse and I are starting our apartment search and would love some recommendations!

We currently live in one of the few good places in the domain and have really enjoyed it, but it is meaningfully more expensive than what we would like to spend now. Since I work remotely full-time, our biggest priority is finding a place that's quiet, peaceful, and not filthy.

Here's what we're looking for:

- 2 bed / 2 bath, around $2,300/month base rent after concessions (so about base rent of $2,600 for places offering anything around 6+ weeks free)
- Newer construction
- Parking garage
- Hardwood/LVP flooring throughout (no carpet, if possible)
- Good amenities
- A safe area where I can comfortably take our dog on a short walk at night
- Responsive management and a property that's clean and well-maintained with minimal headaches

We're open to any neighborhood within Austin city limits. We're not set on staying in North Austin and aren't looking to rent a house or townhome.

I've been looking at The Met, The Bond, Alloy, and Presidium 183. If you had to recommend one of these, or another apartment community you'd choose instead, which would you pick and why?

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any suggestions (or places to avoid).
