1. Aura 35Fifty
4.9 (146 reviews)score 88/100
Aura 35Fifty tops the list on the strength of near-universal five-star sentiment (98% of reviews) and a leasing team, Kristina and Johnny by name, that residents describe as genuinely attentive rather than transactional. It's a smaller, quieter property that trades scale for connection, backed by fast maintenance and amenities that actually work.
- Leasing staff praised by name for warmth and follow-through
- Fast maintenance turnaround
- Pool, gym, and dog park all reported in good working order
- Transparent pet fee structure
Watch out: A small minority felt management came across as indifferent, against an otherwise near-unanimous five-star pattern.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, pet friendly
2. The Links at Forest Creek
4.7 (335 reviews)score 87/100
The Links at Forest Creek pairs a high review volume (335) with consistently warm service from staff like Kandy and Sheradyn, who residents say treat them like neighbors. Renovated units, included covered parking, and week-turnaround maintenance make it a strong value pick for a complex this size.
- Renovated units with quality finishes
- Covered parking included at no extra cost
- Fast maintenance and pest control response
- Small-complex feel with management that knows what's going on
Watch out: The leasing office is hard to reach by phone after 5pm.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, pet friendly
3. Stillwell at Avery Centre
4.9 (139 reviews)score 86/100
Stillwell at Avery Centre earns one of the highest ratings on this list (4.9 from 139 reviews), with the leasing team, Blake, Olivia, and Lidia named repeatedly, credited for going beyond expectations during tours and move-in. Units arrive updated and spotless, and the resort-style pool and dog park back up the modern positioning.
- Leasing team named and praised for responsiveness
- Move-in process handled smoothly
- Maintenance responds quickly, including multi-hour troubleshooting
- Clean, updated units and pristine common areas
Watch out: One visitor was turned away during posted hours when a leasing agent was on lunch break.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, townhome style, pet friendly
4. Aura 36Hundred
4.6 (302 reviews)score 84/100
Aura 36Hundred backs up its 4.6 rating with 302 reviews, a scale few others on this list match. One three-year tenant calls it a dream, and the maintenance crew (Nic, Justin, Courtney) plus bilingual leasing staff resolve most issues within hours.
- Fast, named maintenance team with same-day resolution
- Bilingual leasing staff
- Quiet, secure community with working smart locks
- Frequent resident events
Watch out: At least one incoming tenant faced a dirty unit with pest and carpet issues at move-in, and parking gets tight in the evenings.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, affordable housing, pet friendly
5. Affinity at Round Rock
4.8 (70 reviews)score 83/100
Affinity at Round Rock is the only 55+ community on this list, and it earns a 4.8 rating with an especially strong sentiment score. Residents describe abundant activities, from fitness to billiards to a dog park, and staff who make the place feel like home rather than an apartment.
- Highly responsive maintenance team
- Welcoming staff known by name
- Full activity calendar
- Peaceful, safe setting
Watch out: Review volume (70) is lower than the top properties, so read this as a strong but slightly less-tested signal.
Services: luxury apartments, senior living, pet friendly
6. Teravista Ridge
4.5 (369 reviews)score 83/100
Teravista Ridge carries the second-highest review count on this list (369) while holding a 4.5 rating, a hard combination to pull off at scale. Leasing officers Dinah and Jen and maintenance worker Bryan get called out repeatedly for going beyond their job descriptions, and the location near ACC and Texas State Round Rock is a real draw.
- Named staff known for going above and beyond
- Monthly community events with free food
- Clean, well-maintained grounds
- Close to three universities and shopping
Watch out: Parking tightens during peak hours and some residents note noise from adjoining units.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, affordable housing, townhome style
7. MAA Round Rock
4.5 (389 reviews)score 80/100
MAA Round Rock has the largest review base on this list (389) and staff like Jacqueline, Jose, and Pedro draw consistent name-checks for warmth and follow-through. The amenity set, resort pool, dog park, gym, trails, and car wash, is about as complete as this list gets.
- Staff known by name for responsiveness and care
- Full amenity set including pool, dog park, gym, and trails
- Prompt maintenance response to work orders
- Long-term tenant retention
Watch out: A minority of reviews flag roaches, theft with limited visible security, and steep move-out charges, so read the fine print on lease-end fees.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, pet friendly
8. The Warner
4.4 (331 reviews)score 80/100
The Warner draws 331 reviews at a 4.4 average, with staff like Eric Paez, Morgan, and Jenni credited for treating residents like people rather than lease numbers. Modern, tech-forward units and study/co-working spaces suit both families and working students, and many residents renew year after year.
- Staff known by name for going above and beyond
- Modern, tech-forward design
- Monthly community events
- Study and co-working spaces included
Watch out: At least one resident waited over a year for a plumbing repair, and communication during major repairs has been inconsistent.
Services: luxury apartments, affordable housing, pet friendly
9. Arbor Trails Apartment Homes
4.4 (73 reviews)score 79/100
Arbor Trails carries a strong sentiment score built on repeated praise for management, Daniela Santana and Alicia by name, who make move-in smooth and stay responsive afterward. The 24-hour emergency maintenance and quiet units round out a solid, if smaller-sample, profile.
- Fast, attentive move-in process
- Responsive property management and maintenance
- Quiet community
- On-site dog park and pet amenities
Watch out: Review volume (73) is on the lower side, so treat the pattern as promising rather than exhaustively tested.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, townhome style, pet friendly
10. The Sommery
4.1 (164 reviews)score 78/100
The Sommery spans one to three bedroom apartments and townhomes plus a yoga studio and co-working space, and its 164 reviews show staff like assistant manager Bryant and maintenance techs Huan and Patrick remembered by name for patience and speed. Resident touches like taco days and hammocks by the pool back up the community feel.
- Staff known by name for friendliness and patience
- Quick, responsive maintenance
- Well-maintained common areas and units
- Regular resident events and full amenity suite
Watch out: The 4.1 rating is the lowest among the high-confidence entries here, so expect more mixed feedback than the top of the list.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, pet friendly, townhome style
11. Siena Round Rock Apartments
4.6 (200 reviews)score 77/100
Siena Round Rock shows a clear split: newer residents and families praise leasing staff Briana and Vanessa and quiet grounds, while long-term tenants report compounding maintenance failures around pest control and pool upkeep. It still holds a 4.6 rating across 200 reviews, so the tour-and-move-in experience clearly lands well even where follow-through has faltered.
- Attentive leasing team with named staff
- On-site responsive maintenance for most requests
- Modern unit finishes and layouts
- Pet-friendly with dog park and wash station
Watch out: Long-term residents report a neglected pool, unresolved pest and window seal issues, and rent increases after move-in.

12. MAA Sierra Vista
4.4 (171 reviews)score 77/100
MAA Sierra Vista pairs a 4.4 rating over 171 reviews with move-in specials and 1-bedroom rates that undercut most of this list, while still delivering same-day maintenance fixes and professional leasing consultants. Smart home tech, in-unit laundry, and gated parking round out a convenience-first package.
- Quick maintenance response, often same-day
- Professional, friendly leasing staff
- Clean, well-maintained grounds
- In-unit washer/dryer and smart home tech
Watch out: Scattered reports of mold, gate reliability issues, and one property manager perceived as unresponsive.
Services: luxury apartments, senior living, student housing, pet friendly
13. Park at Siena
4.7 (50 reviews)score 77/100
Park at Siena holds a 4.7 rating and residents single out Desiree's personalized move-in support and maintenance tech Yannier Alvarez for quick response, with units arriving spotless and appliances modern. Many residents describe it as their best apartment experience to date.
- Personalized move-in support, including remote coordination
- Responsive maintenance team
- Modern, spotless units on arrival
- Comprehensive pet amenities including bark park
Watch out: A review sample of 50 is smaller than most peers, and front-office handling of resident concerns draws occasional criticism.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, townhome style, pet friendly
14. Reserve at Round Rock
4.8 (48 reviews)score 77/100
Reserve at Round Rock holds a 4.8 rating built on staff like Carrie Long and maintenance lead Meco, who go as far as sending off-season cards and arranging video tours for prospective residents. The active social calendar and caliber of neighbors are recurring themes in the sentiment.
- Staff known by name for follow-up and patience
- Leasing team arranges overnight stays and video tours
- Vibrant social calendar and resident friendships
- Responsive maintenance for most issues
Watch out: Garage pricing has fluctuated significantly for one resident, and the advertised heated pool wasn't actually heated at time of review.
Services: senior living, luxury apartments, townhome style, pet friendly
15. Watermere at Round Rock
4.8 (58 reviews)score 77/100
Watermere at Round Rock rounds out the list with a 4.8 rating and a genuinely social, activity-rich independent living setup, where tour guide Breanna gets repeated praise for patience and care. Spacious, bright units and amenities like a sauna and fitness center support the warm community feel residents describe.
- Spacious apartments with bright layouts
- Broad activity and wellness programming
- Warm, inclusive community feel

Watch out: Management responsiveness is uneven: residents report unanswered memos, billing errors, and inconsistent housekeeping.
