New Austin apartments

A building that has just opened needs to fill hundreds of homes at once, and there is a lot of new supply competing for the same renters. Free weeks let the property keep its posted rent while lowering what you pay, which is why I always show the net effective rent next to the base rent.

It can be, if the special is large and your part of the building is finished. Ask which amenities are open now, whether construction is still happening near your unit, and how long the special lasts if you renew.

Tisdale at Lakeline Station (17 weeks free), The Gabriel Georgetown (13 weeks free), Carson Crossing (12 weeks free). Specials usually apply to select homes and lease terms, so I confirm the unit before you apply.

On the date checked, Bridge at Speyside: one-bedrooms from $1,043 base rent, about $802 a month after its 12-week special, plus about $100 a month in required fees.

Garages: Alta Wildhorse Ranch, The Howard, The Darby, The Merle on Howard, Lookout. Private yards on some homes: Tisdale at Lakeline Station, The Gabriel Georgetown, Bridge at Speyside, Progress at Tech Ridge, The Porter. Both are usually limited to certain floor plans.

Yes: Carson Crossing, Bridge at Speyside, Ivy Heights, The Porter, Lirica, The Rhett and others. Rent at those homes depends on household size and income limits; send me yours and I'll tell you where you qualify.
