Question 1

How many apartments for rent are available in Pflugerville right now?

Accepted Answer

Here is the number that surprises people who assume the suburb is the cheap option: the median across all Pflugerville rentals is about $1,890 and rising, up roughly 5.5 percent over the past year, while the city of Austin sits near $1,566. That gap is a mix effect, not a premium, because Pflugerville rents houses at around $2,197 where Austin rents apartments, and a Pflugerville apartment actually averages closer to $1,457. Roomster shows 42 apartments for rent here, from the older complexes near Old Town and the I-35 frontage out to the newer buildings by Stone Hill and the tollways.

Question 2

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Pflugerville?

Accepted Answer

A studio averages about $968 and a one-bedroom roughly $1,176, both of which are genuinely reasonable for the Austin metro, while two-bedrooms run near $1,667 and three-bedrooms around $2,095. Every size has drifted up over the past year rather than down. You can find one-bedrooms under $1,100 a month around Springbrook, Cambridge Heights, and the older complexes near Old Town, where the neighborhood median sits closest to $1,287. The newer eastern developments and anything marketed with a Lake Pflugerville or Stone Hill address anchor the top of the range.

Question 3

Is there rent control in Pflugerville, TX?

Accepted Answer

No, and Texas makes it close to impossible. Under Local Government Code section 214.902, a Texas city may adopt rent control only after finding a housing emergency caused by a disaster, and even then the ordinance requires the governor's approval before it takes effect. No such finding applies in Pflugerville, so there is no cap on what a landlord may ask at renewal and no just-cause standard. On a month-to-month tenancy the usual requirement is 30 days notice before an increase takes effect. Your protection is the lease term itself, so read the renewal clause closely before signing.

Question 4

How does Pflugerville compare with Austin and Round Rock on apartment rent?

Accepted Answer

On apartments specifically, Pflugerville is the cheaper choice: about $1,457 here against an Austin citywide median near $1,566, with Round Rock at roughly $1,728, Georgetown $1,850, and Hutto $1,900. On all rental types together the ranking flips, because this city's stock skews to houses. The honest read for a renter is that a Pflugerville apartment saves money over Austin while a Pflugerville house does not, and the wider metro average of about $1,967 sits above both. Weigh the toll and fuel cost of the commute against whatever you save.

Question 5

Are there apartments for rent near Pflugerville's tollways and commute routes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and the road you use should shape the search. Interstate 35 runs along the western edge and feeds Round Rock and north Austin, State Highway 45 crosses the top of the city, and State Highway 130 carries the eastern side toward the Taylor and northeast manufacturing corridor. Apartment clusters sit along the I-35 frontage and around Stone Hill toward the SH 130 interchange. Since Pflugerville is outside the Capital Metro service area and has no city bus network, treat the drive as part of the rent: the average local commute is 27.4 minutes and the tollways carry a monthly cost of their own.

Question 6

What deposit and fees should I expect when renting an apartment in Pflugerville?

Accepted Answer

Texas sets no maximum on a security deposit, so the figure varies more by property and applicant than it would in a capped state, and it is worth negotiating. The protection sits on the return: a landlord must refund the deposit within 30 days of move-out with a written itemization of any deduction, and a landlord who withholds in bad faith can be liable for three times the amount wrongfully kept plus attorney fees under the Texas Property Code. Ask the leasing office to itemize application, administrative, pet, and valet-trash charges before you sign, since those are where Austin-area complexes add cost.
