Best apartments in Round Rock
This ranks the 15 top-scoring apartment complexes in Round Rock using our methodology, which weighs Google rating, review volume, recency, and sentiment together rather than star rating alone. Every property below is included because it earned a place in that composite, not because it paid for placement.
Picks are ranked by score and relevance to apartment complex, so a lower overall score can rank higher here.

1. Aura 35Fifty
4.9 (146 reviews)score 87/100

Aura 35Fifty pairs the highest composite score on this list with a near-perfect 4.9 rating across 146 reviews, and the review pattern backs it up: staff like Kristina, Johnny, and Kevin get named repeatedly for building real relationships with residents rather than just processing move-ins. It's a smaller, quieter community that still delivers a functioning gym, resort pool, and dog park.
- Leasing staff (Kristina, Johnny) known for genuine care from tour to move-in
- Fast turnaround on maintenance work orders
- Well-kept common areas and amenities
- Quiet Round Rock location close to shopping
Watch out: One resident flagged management's attitude as a weak point, though it's an outlier against otherwise strong service.

2. Stillwell at Avery Centre
4.9 (134 reviews)score 86/100

Stillwell at Avery Centre sits right behind Aura 35Fifty in score with the same 4.9 rating, built on praise for a leasing team residents call out by name: Olivia, Blake, Eric, Giovanni, and Ben. It's a newly built property with upscale finishes and a resort-style pool that draws families and pet owners alike.
- Named leasing staff who solve problems quickly and personally
- Spotless, newly built units with modern finishes
- Rapid maintenance response, including same-day fixes
- Flexible with move-in logistics and unexpected issues
Watch out: One visitor was turned away during posted hours when staff were on break, an isolated but real lapse in consistency.
Services: luxury apartments, student housing, senior living, pet friendly
3. The Links at Forest Creek
4.7 (330 reviews)score 86/100

The Links at Forest Creek backs up its 4.7 rating with the largest review base on this list at 330, and the throughline in those reviews is staff patience, especially from Kandy Asher, plus a smaller complex that fosters real neighbourhood connection. Renovated units are bright and well-finished, and several residents mention re-signing leases year after year.
- Staff known by name and genuinely helpful
- Maintenance responds within days, even for pest issues
- Lower utilities and included parking
- Strong resident community with regular events
Watch out: A recurring complaint is difficulty reaching the leasing office by phone and early office closures.

4.6 (299 reviews)score 82/100

Aura 36Hundred draws on 299 reviews for a 4.6 rating, with staff like Leticia, Nic, and Justin repeatedly praised for speed and professionalism on maintenance requests. The resort-style pool, fitness lounge, and pet park give it a polished feel, though soundproofing between units is a persistent gripe.
- Responsive maintenance team with quick problem resolution
- Friendly, helpful staff named specifically in reviews
- Resort-style pool, fitness lounge, and pet park on site
- Modern, spacious floor plans
Watch out: Thin walls mean noticeable neighbor noise, and one move-in reported dirty carpet and roaches.

7. Affinity at Round Rock
4.8 (68 reviews)score 82/100

4.5 (379 reviews)score 80/100

MAA Round Rock has a large review base, 379, and a 4.5 rating driven largely by leasing agent Jackie Feliciano, who comes up repeatedly for responsiveness and professionalism. The grounds are well kept with a genuine mix of amenities, though the review pattern also surfaces real friction around package theft and move-out fees.
- Leasing team led by Jackie Feliciano, called out for professionalism
- Well-maintained grounds with established landscaping
- Amenity mix: pool, fitness center, dog park, trails
- Fair treatment on normal wear and tear at move-out
Watch out: Reviewers report package theft, pest issues, and surprise move-out charges like a $90 blind swap fee.

9. The Warner
4.4 (301 reviews)score 78/100

The Warner pulls a 4.4 rating from 301 reviews, with leasing agent Eric driving strong first impressions and smooth move-ins for residents near the Dell offices. The building is clean and resort-style on the surface, but the review pattern shows real gaps once residents settle in past the honeymoon phase.

- Resort-style pool and 24-hour fitness center
- In-unit washer and dryer standard

4.8 (54 reviews)score 77/100

Watermere at Round Rock holds a 4.8 rating, though from a smaller pool of 54 reviews, and the sentiment centers on a sales team, Breanna named specifically, that takes real time with prospective residents.

- Attentive, knowledgeable sales staff
- Fresh, well-designed facilities
- Active community social calendar

Reserve at Round Rock earns a 4.8 rating from 44 reviews, with leasing agents Carrie and Eleanor named for going beyond standard tours to fold new residents into community events. It's built around an active senior lifestyle: game nights, pickleball, yoga, and a dog park round out the amenity list.
- Experienced, patient leasing team (Carrie Long, Eleanor Johnson)

12. Alvista Round Rock
4.2 (234 reviews)score 76/100

Alvista Round Rock has a lower star rating at 4.2 but a large 234-review base and genuinely positive sentiment underneath, with named staff like Danielle, Barbara, Traci, and maintenance workers Jose, Aaron, and Rust earning specific praise for solving problems fast.

4.4 (72 reviews)score 76/100

Arbor Trails carries a 4.4 rating from a smaller pool of 72 reviews, but sentiment scores are the strongest on this list, with residents repeatedly crediting Daniela Santana and Alicia for a swift move-in and quick follow-through on maintenance.

Broadstone Frontera Ridge holds a 4.3 rating over 131 reviews, with a leasing team, Salma, Luke, Jessica, and Jayce, that works hard on move-ins and problem-solving. The location near shops and restaurants and the pet-friendly amenity list (grooming, boarding, dog park) are real draws, though the review pattern shows a gap between what's promised and daily upkeep.
- Strong, responsive leasing and customer service team
- Pet-friendly amenities including grooming and boarding
- Convenient Round Rock location near retail
- Modern facility design
Watch out: Recurring complaints about dog waste in hallways, pool downtime, and amenities unavailable during peak times.
