A weeknight on the rooftop lounge looks like this. Your neighbors are around the dining tables. There’s a game underway. The Austin skyline is settling into evening. That kind of everyday use is the real test of Austin luxury apartments. This guide shows how to size up an amenity package, using Rivette Tower in Mueller as the example.
What Sets Luxury Apartments in Austin Apart
Community spaces that get daily use
Austin summers are long and hot. The best shared spaces are convenient in every season. Having shade outside is a must. Plus, you’ll want indoor options to cool down like a clubroom or air-conditioned corridors. If a space is a convenient addition to your regular routine, it's an amenity. If it only looks good in photos, it's decoration.
In-home finishes worth checking on a tour
Finishes are easiest to judge in person. Ask which homes include soft-close drawers. Then, check the countertops, cabinet lighting, and closet shelving. Ask which features are standard and which are only in select homes. You can explore our floor plans before you visit.
Amenity Spaces at Rivette Tower
Rivette Tower is luxury apartments in Austin. It’s made up of two mid-rise buildings in Mueller.
Rooftop lounge, oversized pool and courtyards
The rooftop lounge pairs games and dining spaces with panoramic views. At the oversized pool, sun ledges and cabanas give you a choice between sun and shade. Finally, there are multiple courtyards that add fire pits and grilling stations. The photo gallery shows each space.
Communal area, fitness center, and yoga room
When you need to focus, there is a communal area that has a coffee bar, lounge seating, and pods. It’s a nice place to be productive beyond your kitchen table. There is a fully loaded fitness center that also includes its own yoga room. And the clubroom adds a fireplace and a chef kitchen for gatherings.
Pet spa, on-site market and the reservable guest suite
A few service-level details set this community apart. The pet spa has a built-in shower and drying station. This comes in handy after a muddy afternoon at the on-site park. The 24/7 market stocks snacks and household goods. Plus, there’s a guest suite that can be reserved for visitors. A bike repair station and an access-controlled garage with electric charging stations round out these perks.

Smart home package, storage and laundry

What LEED Gold and AEGB 2-Star Mean Day to Day
Efficient appliances, native landscaping, certified neighborhood
LEED is a green building certification with four levels: certified, silver, gold, and platinum. The Austin Energy Green Building program rates buildings from one to five stars based on how many sustainability measures they include. These could be features that help save energy, reduce water consumption, and are made from sustainable materials. Rivette Tower is LEED Gold certified and AEGB 2-Star rated. Austin Energy explains how the green building rating works.
The neighborhood's efficiency counts, too. Mueller is a 700-acre former airport site and the largest LEED Gold neighborhood in the world. Here's Mueller's sustainability overview for context.
