By Alexander Concepcion, Taco Street Locating. We checked the official property website for every community below on Oct 1, 2026. Specials and prices change often, and ‘up to’ offers apply to select homes and lease terms. A building is listed only if its own website says it is new, brand new, newest or now open, or (for The Bower) is leasing now with prices posted. Total monthly price means base rent plus mandatory monthly fees where the property shows it; otherwise the figure is base rent.

Their own sites show leasing specials or prices but do not say they are new or recently opened. Carson Crossing is income-restricted and is not covered here.

How to compare new construction apartments in Austin

Compare total monthly price, not base rent

Some sites show base rent and others show a total monthly price that adds mandatory fees. Ask each leasing office for the total monthly amount for the exact home, including amenity, trash, internet and pet charges, and for the lease term the price assumes.

Gross rent vs effective rent

A special such as “up to 10 weeks free” lowers the effective rent only on eligible homes and lease terms, and longer terms such as 14 or 15 months are common. Divide the total lease cost, minus the free weeks, by the number of months to compare buildings.

Confirm the exact unit is ready

New communities can release homes in phases. Ask whether the unit you are shown is available on your move-in date, and get the price and specials in writing before you pay an application fee.

Tour the exact floor plan

Model homes can differ from the home you lease. Ask to see the same floor plan and floor, and check the pet policy, parking charges and fees for that building.
