Emerald Cottages of Round Rock

Nice place

Nice place to live

Emerald Cottages of Round Rock was great. It really was. It was a nice place. It looked brand new. The room I saw was excellent. It had a large kitchen, a large bathroom, an amazing number of closets, and one closed garage with extra space there. Utilities were covered, but not Wifi. It also had a large patio. The salesperson was very upfront and very nice. She paid attention to what I wanted. We talked about the pros and the cons. She was very straightforward and looked to fill my needs.

I toured Emerald Cottages of Round Rock. It was just right for what you need. There's really nothing there, it's just independent living. It had nice and big apartments, and you had your own garage. They don't really offer anything there. They may have some get-togethers but maybe not too often. The staff was great, and I really enjoyed being with them.

I'm in Emerald Cottages of Round Rock. What I like the best is the safe environment here because it's not a large unit. We're like off the beaten path, so I can go out and walk anytime. I don't have to worry that people would just be walking up and knocking on my door or something like that. The neighbors are really friendly. We have a clubhouse. We have community activities, but we don't have the access to a swimming pool. We don't have a lot of the amenities that the apartments do. We don't have an exercise room or whatever. But we have gatherings at the clubhouse, and we have people who come in and do different things like speakers that provide us with information and stuff like that. I just like living here, but I was trying to lower my living expenses. The staff is great. They're very accommodating and very attentive. The handyman is always available to take care of anything that goes wrong. I don't have a problem at all with the staff. I prepare my own meals. But every first Wednesday of the month, we get a complimentary meal that's catered, and then they provide meals on Wednesdays the rest of the month. There's a small charge for that. I don't have a problem with that. I prefer it that way. I have my own kitchen and I cook for myself. I know some of the apartments have a chef that provides meals three times a day, but that wouldn't work for me. The only thing I have a problem with right now is the lawn. I think they are having problems getting good help to keep up the lawns. I'm not happy with that part, but everything else is clean. The clubhouse is clean. The streets are clean and everything. In terms of activities, there's not too much they can do because they have a clubhouse which doesn't allow for activities that need some space. But the activities that they provide are OK. We get a calendar, and they have like movies, games, and coffee and donuts. They might have a person come in and do some type of performance like sing a song and things like that. If somebody is looking for a lot of activities or physical things to do, they won't find it here.
