How We Work With You

super free & super easy

1

Let's Talk!

The fun part.

Fill out the short intake form and tell us what you’re looking for in a new home. Your budget, desired location, lifestyle goals, move in date, and anything else important to you!

2

Research

The super fun part.

We’ll custom create a fully comprehensive fancy research spreadsheet with all of our target apartments, prices, SQFT, and whatever else you’d like to know.

This will dramatically reduce the time you spend clicking through out-dated listings & touring incompatible apartments. We will condense all of your research in one place.

3

Apartment Tours!

Woah! Even funner than before!

Armed with your personalized apartment research, you’ll have everything you need to tour with confidence. We can help you compare options, schedule tours, and navigate the process—at no cost to you. Tour in person or ask about virtual options when available.

4

Application

Less Fun, but very important!​

When we find an apartment you love, you’ll submit a simple application to the building. All you’ll have to do is list us as your referral. The apartment takes care of contributing to our funds of overpriced cocktails and breakfast tacos. That’s why we’re free for you to work with!

5

Fiesta (Optional)

Maybe too much fun.

You will host an epic fiesta in your cool new apartment. It will be attended by famous Instagramers with lots of followers, stars from that Netflix show you just binged, and foreign dignitaries from exotic countries. It will be awesome. Hopefully we will be invited.

We start with a short intake form about your budget, preferred areas, move-in date and must-haves. We then build a personalized research spreadsheet of matching apartments with prices, square footage and current details, help you compare finalists, and schedule in-person or virtual tours. When you pick a place, you apply directly with the building and list us as your referral.

We help renters find apartments across the Austin, Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth and San Antonio metro areas in Texas.

We usually send apartment options within 4 hours of your intake form. Pricing and availability change daily, so we confirm live details before you tour.

Yes. We check current pricing, availability and move-in specials directly with apartment communities before you tour. Working with us has no effect on the specials the property offers you.

Yes. Tell us about your pet, including type, breed and weight, and we will look for apartments whose pet policies fit, and check deposits, monthly pet rent and any restrictions with each property before you apply.

The shortest lease term we can work with is 6 months. Shorter leases usually cost much more than traditional 12-month-plus leases.

Most apartment communities only offer unfurnished units. Some set aside furnished units as corporate housing at higher rates, so renting furniture is usually the better value.

This was my first time ever using an apartment locator service—and since I don’t live in the Austin area just yet, my first time leasing a place without seeing it in person—so I was definitely a little nervous going into it. After doing some research on Taco Street Locating, I decided to give it a shot, and I’m really glad I did. Alexander quickly understood exactly what I was looking for after just one short phone call and a few follow-up texts. He not only helped me find a great apartment, but also steered me away from a few options I originally thought would be a good fit (and he was absolutely right). It’s clear he knows the Austin market inside and out. I’m very happy with where I ended up, and I’d highly recommend Taco Street Locating to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free apartment search.
Ok, I've used apartment locators in the past but this was a completely different experience. Alex was very responsive and communicative through the entire process. He took my feedback and sent me a nice curated list of apartments and the went and scheduled the entire tour day so all I had to do was show up. Finally he actually came to the apartment tours with me and helped steer the leasing office toward the best units. Totally free, Totally worth it.
Moving to Austin from out of state has been incredibly stressful but Alex made it easy to find the right apartment. As a huge researcher and spreadsheet nerd, I really appreciated the in-depth resources on the website as well as the personalized spreadsheet you get once you start working with him. I only had two days to tour apartments in person but Alex's expertise and research helped me feel confident in my decision. Please save yourself time and headache and just work with TSL - it's totally free!!
Alexander is epic! He took the time to talk to me on the phone, understand my needs and create a list of choices that met my requirements. I am located in California, so we did not meet in person, but worked with him remotely. Yesterday I signed the lease for my new place, with 50 days to spare before I move to Austin, TX. Now I can focus on the important things, like where to find the best tacos in this city.
Alex was immensely helpful in my apartment hunt. He’s clearly deeply attached to the city and knows it super well, and he had great insights about all of the neighborhoods and buildings I was interested in. Throughout the process, he was responsive and friendly, and he spent a lot of time working with me to make sure I could feel confident in my final decision. I would highly recommend him to anyone else looking for Austin apartments!
Alex has a wealth of knowledge on Austin’s neighborhoods, downtown high rise rentals, the pros and cons of each building and the reputation of management companies. He is generous with his insights, and honest with his opinions. His videos made the process efficient so we could rule out locations that do not suit us and narrow our visits to better matches. And his restaurant recommendations are spot on! Highly recommend!
Alex was exactly what I needed as somebody who had just moved to Austin. There are some many apartments in Austin that it can be overwhelming. Alex helped me find the perfect apartment (that wasn't even originally on my radar) and came with me to see it. If you are thinking of using him DO IT. You will not regret it!!
Alexander just helped me decide on which apartment complex to live at Austin. I feel that more businesses should run the way he does - you can tell he cares about his craft. His services are paid by the housing providers, so it's really a no-brainer to work with him. If you are on the hunt for housing in Austin, I would recommend Alex.
Alexander was extremely helpful during our apartment hunt. Most surprising that his service is free, yes, FREE!!! He was always giving us updates several times a day and was always very professional and kind!!!! I can't say enough about how much he helped me. Thank you Alexander.
