Pflugerville has grown fast over the last decade, and its apartment market reflects that: garden-style complexes off Pecan Street and FM 685, newer mixed-use developments near the Stone Hill Town Center, and older properties tucked closer to Old Town with cheaper rent and shorter commutes to Austin's north side. We track 46 apartment complexes across the city, ranging from budget-friendly one-bedroom communities to larger properties with resort-style pools, dog parks, and attached garages.
What renting an apartment here actually involves
Finding a place isn't just about the listed rent. You're evaluating a lease term (usually 12 months, sometimes with discounts for 13-15 months), a deposit structure, utility setup (some complexes bill water and trash back through a flat fee), and amenity access that may or may not be included in your monthly cost. Application fees, admin fees, and pet deposits or monthly pet rent add up fast, so ask for the full move-in cost breakdown before you sign anything.
What to look for before you sign
- Actual unit condition on a walkthrough, not just the leasing office model unit
- Response time and communication from on-site management
- Maintenance turnaround for repair requests, especially AC and appliances in summer
- Noise, parking availability, and how full the property actually is
- Whether the quoted rent includes water, trash, valet trash, or pest control
