The Metropolis Apartments were concieved in the firm belief that weird is the natural state in Austin, Texas and we need to do our part to make sure our town stays slightly off-kilter. It starts with the look of the place. We pay homage to the unusual, from the vintage junkers that guard the gated entry to the jungle flora paint job on the apartment exteriors. You're likely to find an ancient gas pump hiding in a planting bed or a metal-sculpture palm tree sharing space with a real one poolside.
