Homeplace Apartment Search is a FREE locator service specializing in all areas of the metroplex, including Round Rock, Pflugerville, and Cedar Park. We work with 95% all the communities in town, and have a database of over 135,000 apts, condos and town houses.
All of our TREC licensed real estate agents are have years of professional leasing experience in Austin, and have outstanding records of superior customer service.
We keep up on current prices, specials, availability, policy changes, pet policies and qualifying guidelines.
This means you can benefit from our expertise and the information in our database, get the "big picture" of the market, and feel comfortable you are not missing anything.
Apartment searching can be time consuming and very frustrating. With hundreds or thousands of choices, it can be mind boggling. We have a computer database of all the apts, condominimums, and townhomes (like a Realtor's MLS) that we can search by your specific criteria. We can take your search down to 2-3 hours from 2-3 days.
We suggest you pick one locator you feel comfortable with (hopefully us), and discuss your needs to help us pinpoint the ideal home for you. All locators work with the same apts, so there is no need to contact several assuming we have different databases
National statistics show we save customers an average of 18 hrs of searching (like 2 or 3 weekends). After we research to find the best communities for you to view, we feel sure you will be comfortable that you have been educated to the market, and confident that one of the complexes you view will be the perfect one for you.
We ARE NOT just another automated site on the Internet, a "searchable" database that gives you a few random options with no current prices or availability info with no personalized service.
We ARE a full service real estate firm with a full database, experienced, thoughtful Austin apartment locators ready to truly save you time and money in your search.
Be sure to have your local real estate agent calculate the "net rent" for each community (by prorating the specials offered over the term of your prospective lease term ) so you can compare "apples to apples" when comparing rentals . Many of the “searchable” databases online misstate the true rental rates because they quote the "market rent" before specials. Because of the varying specials and variance among Market rates, it's virtually impossible to compare the actual "net" rents in your search using on line data bases.

Another reason you need a LOCAL agent is to have her shop around for the best current specials for your time frame meeting your dpecific criteria (location, commuting distance, pets, move in cost, etc.) Rents vary daily based on availability. For example, one apartment complex may have the best price on a two bedroom floor plan in Northwest Austin one week, but because of the favorable pricing, the available apts are leased within a few days and the special prices are withdrawn. Then the next week, another community with an "overstock" of a similar two bedroom will come out with a special price and be the best "deal" for that time period.
We receive 100’s of emails and faxes per week from appartments, updating us on their rental rates, specials and UNADVERTISED SPECIALS. We have experienced Austin TX apartment finders that work full time and exchange information daily to keep us up on the latest rental rates, policies, and specials in the Austin / Cedar Park / Round Rock market. We will do our final research shortly before our appointment with you to view the properties to determine the available appartments most likely to fit your needs.
Also, there are "Look & Lease" specials we can advise you on.. These are additional specials communities offer as incentives to make application within 24 hours of your first viewing of the property. These incentives can be fairly substantial ranging from a $0 deposit to a full month's rent free. So you won't be under undue pressure to lease quickly without being educated to the market, you will only be looking at the community(s) with the best prices that meet your exact needs. With our help, you will be able to find your ideal apartment in a relatively short period of time, and feel confident and secure with your decision.
