Quick answer
Mueller, South Congress SoCO, South Lamar SOLA have the highest social life score in the displayed shortlist (10/10). Start your investigation there if this is your priority; commute, cost and the actual unit can change the decision.
TXHighRises advice: For your high-rise search, verify the actual unit, floor, view, balcony, elevator and move-in arrangements, parking charges and currently available amenities. Building starting rents do not establish penthouse pricing or availability. Choose recurring activities you would actually attend, then balance them against noise and cost.

Apartment examples to investigate
