Q. Why are there no addresses listed in your ads?
A. In order to receive credit for leasing the property, we have to show you the property. In order to give you the most choices, we work all open listings, not just ours.(we work with well over 95% of the complexes in town) In some cases, we can meet you at the property to make it easy on you. Or in some situations (like a long distance, sight unseen rental) , register you ahead of time, so we would not have to be there, but we have to arrange this before you look at the property.
A. Can you send me a list of apartments in Austin?
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a true updated list of available Austin apartment rentals. There are hundreds of rental management and private owners in town, without an MLS type system. Which is why we exist - because it is .a overwhelming task to do it yourself. Therefore we have no correlated list available that we can send you. You can always check our website for an updated selection (but it only lists a small percentage of what available apartments in Austin we have) . Anyone who says they have a list of apartments actually has a limited database of the units - the ones that will work with them on a smaller commission when they "send" you to apartments on that list, without checking availability - MOST OF WHICH DO NOT HAVE AVAILABILITY OF UNITS MEETING YOUR CRITERIA.
The main reason a list wouldn't help you is that it doesn't show what is available! Availability of units for a particular price, area, etc. literally change daily. Our job is to do the legwork for you, and find the best ones available using your criteria so you can pick from the top ones. Otherwise, you might as well use the yellow pages as a "list". We are full service professional real estate agents, like Realtors
Q. How else can you help me?
We can advise you on all aspects of your search, and find those "hard to find" properties that have:
- Unique Floorplans - roommate plans, extra closet space,
- New Luxury properties, gated, energy efficient
- Big dog pet friendly communities including breed specific policies
- Move-in Specials - $0 move-in , 1,2 even 3 months Free
- Pre-leases and waiting lists
- Separate dining rooms
- Specific amenities - Gas cooking, dog parks, townhome style, condo specs, garages
- Unique Units or exteriors - lofts, townhouses, yards, duplexes
- ASAP move-ins
- Short Term leases (and the ones with the smallest upcharges)
- Bus lines, estimated commuting times, maps
- Special issues - damaged credit
Our Mission
“We are dedicated to delivering exemplary service while providing our customers with essential information and resources to make informed relocation decisions in choosing a quality apartment environment.”

Austin becomes more expensive for renters
April, 2012
According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, AustinTexas is the most expensive city in Texas for renters earning the minimum wage. The Texas average for a full-time worker to earn at least $15.88 per hour to cover fair market rent of $826 for a 2-bedroom apartment, employees in Austin must earn $19.02 to cover their housing expenses.
Fair market rent is $944 for a 2 bedroom unit in Austin. And it’s not just rents that are rising in Austin.
Water bills went up, wastewater went up, and electric is proposed to go up. And all of those increases are huge, and they impact directly on a tenant’s ability to live where they want to live
Austin Texas Apartment Market Report
Austin's apartment market still sizzling hot
January, 2012
The Austin-area apartment market is hot these days, as heightened demand due to job and population growth plus a lag in new projects have combined to make it the hottest sector of the real estate market. The local Austin / Round Rock / Cedar Park apartment market will be the nation's No. 2 performer this year based on projected increases in rents and occupancies, just behind San Francisco, CA according to MPF Research,
Capitol Market Research predicts that the Austin area apartment market will be on the upswing for at least another 2 to 3 years It's data, which tracks 145,000 units in Austin and other areas, including Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Leander and Kyle, shows that the region ended 2011 with 95.9% of its apartments occupied, up from 94.8 percent at the end of 2010.
The all-time high — 97.6 percent occupancy — was reached in December 2000
Average rents across all unit types — 1, 2 and 3-bedrooms — climbed last year to $913/mo, compared with $853 in 2010. Rents for 1 bedroom units saw the biggest jump, soaring to $878/moas of December, 2011 compared with $731 at the end of 2010 MPF forecasts rent growth of about 5.5% in 2013 and about 4% in 2014. Forecasts show Austin will have demand for about 4,800 apartment units this year. About 3,100 new units are expected to be completed this year, followed by 4,900 in 2013. Thousands more units are in the planning stages, bu some of those projects could have problems obtaining financing.
Projects will add 780 apartments along East Riverside corridor
Two apartment projects announced a few years ago along E. Riverside Drive are ready to move forward as the local multi-family market heats up. With a 3rd project under way, the plans will add and additional 780 residential living units
.
Construction is planned for later this year on the street and utility infrastructure for the western 26 acres in what is known as the Lakeshore planned unit development, or PUD . A month or two later,Cypress Real Estate Advisors will break ground on the 1st component, a $30 million apartment project with 230 luxury units along South Lakeshore Boulevard, east of Riverside Dr.
Palms on North Lamar
Mulholland Group recently opened its new twenty-one building, 476 unit affordable housing community located at 8602 N. Lamar Blvd. The $35 million Palms on North Lamar was financed in part by the largest tax credit arrangements awarded by the American Recovery and Investment Act in Texas in 2010.
