How to read a special
A special is a discount on the whole lease, not on one month. Eight weeks free on a 12-month lease is roughly 15 percent off, which is why a building with a higher posted rent and a big special can cost less than a cheaper building with none.
The table below shows each building's special as the property posted it, the lowest one-bedroom base rent, and what that one-bedroom costs a month once the free weeks are spread over 12 months. It does not include required monthly fees, which run about $37 to $190 a month, $103 in the middle and are listed on each building's page.
Across the 69 buildings with free weeks, the average special is 9.1 weeks.

About specials
What does "8 weeks free" actually mean?
The property takes eight weeks of rent off the lease, usually as a credit spread across the first months or taken off the first month or two. On a $1,800 rent over 12 months that is about $3,320 off, so the real monthly cost is about $1,523. Each building's page has a calculator for its own numbers.
Do move-in specials apply to every unit?
Rarely. Most specials say "select homes" or depend on the lease length and move-in date. I check which exact units qualify before you apply.
Will my rent go up at renewal after a special?
Usually the renewal is based on the base rent, not the net effective rent, so budget for the base rent from year two. Some buildings offer a renewal special too; ask before you sign.
Are Austin rents still falling?
Yes, slowly. Apartment List's October 2026 Austin report put the citywide median rent at $1,326, down 2.3% from a year earlier, after a record wave of new apartments in 2024 and 2025. At new buildings the drop shows up mostly as free weeks rather than lower posted rents, which is why I compare net effective rent.
