Rail Rider: 6-Minute Walk to Crestview Station

Skip the standstill and keep your day moving. Living at The Johnny in the Highland neighborhood places you within about a 6-minute walk to Crestview Station on the Capital Metro Red Line, depending on pace and route. Step out your door, follow familiar sidewalks, and reach the platform without building your morning around traffic or parking. That simple shift turns commutes into time you can use. Read a few pages. Review notes. Send a quick message to confirm plans. When rail sits this close to home, your schedule feels lighter and more predictable.

Commute smarter, arrive steadier

Rail helps you keep a steady rhythm during the workweek. Walk to Crestview, ride the Red Line toward Downtown Austin, and finish the last blocks on foot. No idling in congestion. No circling for a spot. When you return, the same short walk takes you back to your apartment. If you drive some days, you can still keep things efficient. Covered parking protects your car from the weather, and EV charging stations let you top off while you relax upstairs. Either way, the result stays the same. You control more of your time, and your evenings start earlier because the last mile stays simple.

Weekends that start at your front door

A close station helps on weekdays and weekends. Use the rail for a trip to shows, museums, or a meet-up with friends. Plan a Saturday coffee and bookstore loop, then ride home without worrying about downtown parking. Invite visitors and provide them with a clear plan for navigating the area. Meet on the rooftop deck before you leave, settle on a destination, and walk together to the platform. Back at home, the resident lounge offers a quiet spot to swap photos and plan the next stop. If your plans include your dog, take a quick break at the on-site dog run before or after your outing. Small conveniences stack up, and weekends feel less rushed because the station sits within easy walking distance.

Daily flow that stays consistent

Close transit works best when the rest of your community removes friction as well. Smart lock technology helps you move in and out quickly. In-unit washers and dryers keep chores on your schedule, not a shared room’s schedule. Quartz countertops and energy-efficient appliances make quick meals at home easy after a late night at work. Grill and outdoor dining spaces give you a relaxed option when friends ride back with you for dinner. The fitness center and the hot tub swim spa help you reset when the day runs long. Each feature supports a calm routine, which makes that short walk to Crestview even more valuable.

A roughly 6-minute walk to Crestview Station gives you a practical advantage that you can feel every week. You walk to the Red Line, ride to what matters, and return to a home that keeps the rest of your evening easy.
