South Lakeline Blvd Apartment Reviews (78613)

S. Lakeline Blvd is the screening flexibility corridor in our market.

Three of the seven communities on this stretch screen below the standard 3x income requirement. One requires only 2x, the lowest threshold of any market rate property we track in the entire Cedar Park area. Another is a tax credit community that accepts Section 8 vouchers. That density of below 3x screening doesn’t exist on any other corridor we cover, and it’s the first place we point renters who get screened out elsewhere and need to start their search over.

We work this corridor every week. Our team has placed clients at most of these properties, and we have direct contact with the leasing offices at all seven. From those tours, what comes through is the corridor itself. Seven communities sit on roughly 1.2 miles of road, north of Whitestone Blvd down to the Anderson Mill area near Lakeline Mall. You can drive end to end in five minutes and see every property on this page from your car window. Renters can tour three or four properties here in a single morning. We’ve had clients call us at lunch with questions about all of them.

Build years run from 2000 to 2016. Most properties have been renovated at least once. Rent floors land below most other Cedar Park corridors, with the income restricted community starting at $765 and market rate communities starting at $890. Spring 2026 concessions are aggressive. Most communities are running 1.5 to 2 months free, with extra weeks on select units at three properties.

A note on how we’ve grouped this page. We’ve split the seven communities by income screening rather than by property class. The standard 3x screening tier comes first because it covers four of the seven and matches what most renters expect. The flexible screening tier comes second and includes the page’s strongest differentiation: the 2x property, the 2.5x property, and the LIHTC option. Read both tiers if income qualification is open or uncertain. Read Tier 1 first if you’ve cleared 3x screening before and just want to see the standard market rate options.

School District: Leander ISD (Cedar Park HS or Vista Ridge HS attendance zones, depending on address) Typical Property Class: A- to B-, with most at A- or B+ Communities Tracked: 7


Tier 1: Standard 3x Income Screening

These four communities share the same screening floor: 3x monthly rent in gross income, the standard threshold most Cedar Park renters encounter. Build years range from 2000 to 2015. Two are A-, two are B+, and all four have been renovated at least once. What separates them is management quality, building age, and which corner of the corridor they occupy. We’ve placed clients at all four and tour them regularly with new applicants.

Marquis on Lakeline

2800 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

The newest standard screening community on the corridor and the highest reviewed property on the entire page.

  • 2015 · Class A- · CWS Capital Partners · 352 units
  • Studio to 3BR · 444 to 1,355 sqft
  • $974 to $2,115 · $1.56 to $2.19/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: 2 months free on a 12 month lease
  • Income: 3x · Google: 4.1 stars across 189 reviews

Pros:

  • 4.1 stars across 189 reviews. The highest rating and deepest review history on the corridor.
  • 15 floor plans including studios at 444 sqft. The widest selection on the page and the smallest entry footprint anywhere on S. Lakeline Blvd.
  • CWS Capital Partners runs the property. We’ve worked with their leasing team for years, and maintenance turnaround stays consistent.
  • 2015 construction. The only Tier 1 community built after 2003.
  • 2 months free on a 12 month lease. Among the most aggressive concessions in this tier.

Cons:

  • $2.19 per sqft on studios is the highest per square foot rate on the page.
  • CWS mandatory monthly fees (valet trash, pest, amenity) add roughly $40 to $50 to the advertised rent.
  • 3x income screening with no flexibility. Renters who can’t clear that should look at Tier 2.

Overall Thoughts:

Marquis on Lakeline is where we’d start most renters touring this corridor for the first time. The combination of 4.1 stars across nearly 200 reviews, CWS as operator, and the widest floor plan range gives the property the strongest overall position on S. Lakeline Blvd. Net effective math on the 2 months free concession brings a $974 studio down to roughly $812 per month over a 12 month lease. That puts a renovated 2015 Class A studio with CWS management within reach of renters whose budgets wouldn’t normally clear new construction pricing. If you can qualify at 3x and want the corridor’s most proven operator, this is the call. Renters with thinner budgets should compare against Lodge at Lakeline Village two blocks north. Renters who can’t clear 3x should skip to Tier 2.

Lodge at Lakeline Village

2000 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

A Northland managed A- with steady reviews across a decade and walking distance access to Lakeline Mall.

  • 2003 (renovated 2019) · Class A- · Northland · 341 units
  • 1BR to 3BR · 648 to 1,356 sqft
  • $960 to $1,925 · $1.42 to $1.48/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: 1.5 months free on a 12 month lease
  • Income: 3x · Google: 4.0 stars across 167 reviews

Pros:

  • 4.0 stars across 167 reviews. Northland has held resident satisfaction steady through the 2019 renovation, which most properties this age can’t claim.
  • Reviewers consistently call out responsive maintenance and an accessible leasing team.
  • 3BR units up to 1,356 sqft. Largest 3BR option in the standard screening tier on this corridor.
  • Walking distance to Lakeline Mall. Macy’s, JCPenney, Dillard’s, the food court, and the Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline on US-183 are all within a 15 to 20 minute walk.
  • 1BR floor plans starting at 648 sqft with in unit washer and dryer.

Cons:

  • 2003 construction. The 2019 renovation updated finishes but some units still feel their age.
  • Pool area is smaller than newer competitors offer.
  • Resident parking runs tight during peak hours.

Overall Thoughts:

Lodge at Lakeline Village earns its 4.0 stars across 167 reviews the hard way: through more than two decades of consistent management on a 2003 building. Northland’s reputation in this market is built on properties exactly like this one. The building isn’t impressive. The operation is. The fit here is for renters whose budget is the constraint and who can absorb older finishes in exchange for a real concession and a proven management team. Net effective math on the 1.5 months free brings a $960 1BR down to roughly $840 per month over a 12 month lease. That sits below most Class A new construction in Cedar Park, which is the entire point. If 3BR with mall walkability matters, Lodge wins the tier on that combination. If you want newer construction over track record, Marquis is the better fit.

Lakeline Villas

2201 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

[Photo: Lakeline Villas pool with sun deck and apartment buildings in background]

A UDR managed B+ with the lowest cost per square foot in the standard screening tier and a 2018 renovation working in its favor.

  • 2002 (renovated 2018) · Class B+ · UDR · 309 units
  • 1BR to 2BR · 702 to 1,320 sqft
  • $925 to $1,625 · $1.23 to $1.32/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: 1.5 months free plus up to 6 weeks on select units
  • Income: 3x · Google: 3.5 stars across 112 reviews

Pros:

  • $925 entry rent on a 1BR with 2018 renovation updates. The price per sqft comes in at $1.32, the lowest in the standard screening tier.
  • 1BR floor plans start at 702 sqft, larger than the 1BRs at most newer Class A properties on the corridor.
  • 1.5 months free plus up to 6 weeks on select units. The deepest concession stack in this tier.
  • Pool, dry sauna, and clubhouse kitchen on site.
  • Gated entry with controlled access.

Cons:

  • 3.5 stars across 112 reviews. Lowest in the tier. UDR’s corporate management style draws consistent complaints about responsiveness, including reports of gates stuck open for extended periods.
  • Reviewers flag noise insulation issues between units.
  • Lakeline Blvd road noise affects units facing the front of the property.
  • 50 pound pet weight limit rules out larger breeds.

Overall Thoughts:

Lakeline Villas is the corridor’s price floor option for renters who can clear 3x screening and want a renovated unit at sub $1,000 entry. The 2018 renovation updated kitchens and flooring across most floor plans. At $1.23 to $1.32 per square foot, the rate runs genuinely below comparable communities. UDR is the variable. Reviewers consistently flag slow management response, and the complaints are specific enough to plan around: document move in condition thoroughly, expect to advocate for yourself on response times, and confirm specific unit condition during the tour. The renters we’ve worked with at Villas have come back with a wide range of experiences. Variance correlates with which unit they got and which leasing team member handled their lease. Compared to Red Stone Ranch (UDR sister property north on Lakeline), Villas is slightly newer and renovated more recently. The tradeoff: Red Stone has a dog park, Villas doesn’t.

Red Stone Ranch

1600 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

The lowest market rate 1BR entry on the corridor, with 3BR floor plans and a dog park.

  • 2000 (renovated 2016) · Class B+ · UDR · 324 units
  • 1BR to 3BR · 703 to 1,312 sqft
  • $890 to $1,800 · $1.27 to $1.37/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: 1.5 months free plus up to 6 weeks on select units
  • Income: 3x · Google: 3.4 stars across 103 reviews

Pros:

  • $890 starting 1BR is the lowest market rate entry on the corridor and one of the lowest in Cedar Park overall.
  • 3BR floor plans up to 1,312 sqft. Strong family option at sub Class A pricing.
  • Dog park on site. Lakeline Villas (UDR sister property) doesn’t have one.
  • 1.5 months free plus up to 6 weeks on select units. Deepest concession stack in the tier alongside Lakeline Villas.
  • 2016 renovation updated kitchens and flooring in most units.

Cons:

  • 3.4 stars across 103 reviews. Lowest in the tier. The same UDR responsiveness complaints that show up at Lakeline Villas show up here too.
  • 2000 construction. Oldest Tier 1 community on the corridor.
  • HVAC issues mentioned in multiple recent reviews.
  • 50 pound pet weight limit. Larger breeds need to look at Tier 2’s Bexley at Lakeline or other corridors.

Overall Thoughts:

Red Stone Ranch fits a specific need we run into often: a 3BR floor plan with a dog park at the lowest market rate entry on S. Lakeline Blvd. Net effective math on the concession stack is real. A $890 base rent with 1.5 months free over a 12 month lease gets to roughly $779 per month before mandatory fees. That’s a renovated, 3 bedroom capable community at a price point hard to beat anywhere we cover in Cedar Park. The UDR management complaints are real and worth weighing seriously. From our experience placing renters at both Red Stone and Lakeline Villas, document move in condition thoroughly during the walk through and plan to advocate for yourself on maintenance issues. If 3BR isn’t a requirement and you don’t need a dog park, we’d point you to Lakeline Villas a half mile south, which offers a slightly newer renovation at a similar price.


Tier 2: Flexible Screening (2x, 2.5x, and LIHTC)

Three communities sit below the 3x screening threshold. The math gap is real. At $1,000 monthly rent, a 3x community requires $36,000 in qualifying annual income. A 2x community requires $24,000. That $12,000 gap is the difference between approval and denial for a meaningful share of Cedar Park renters. This corridor pulls three paths to flexible screening together on one mile of road. One market rate property at 2x. One market rate property at 2.5x. One LIHTC tax credit community that accepts Section 8 vouchers. From working with clients in this corridor, we’ve found Tier 2 fills the gap when income or screening circumstances rule out Tier 1.

Bexley at Lakeline

2801 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

The lowest screening threshold on the corridor and one of the lowest in the entire Cedar Park market.

  • 2016 · Class A- · Weinstein Properties · 345 units
  • Studio to 3BR · 625 to 1,177 sqft
  • $1,099 to $1,839 · $1.56 to $1.76/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: 1.5 months free on 1BR plus 6 weeks on all 1BR floor plans
  • Income: 2x · Google: 3.8 stars across 76 reviews

Pros:

  • 2x income screening. The lowest threshold on the corridor. At a $1,099 1BR, qualification starts at $26,376 in annual gross income.
  • 2016 construction. Newest community in either tier on the page.
  • Weinstein Properties runs three other Bexley communities in our service area. Consistent operation across the portfolio.
  • 1.5 months free on 1BR plus 6 weeks on all 1BR floor plans. Strong concession stack pushes net effective into the high $800s.
  • 2.5 bath options on select floor plans, rare at this price band.

Cons:

  • 76 reviews is a thinner sample than what’s available at most communities on this page. The 3.8 rating is solid but the data depth isn’t there yet.
  • Weinstein is a smaller regional operator with limited after hours support compared to CWS or Greystar.
  • Some parking congestion reported in recent reviews.

Overall Thoughts:

Bexley at Lakeline is the page’s strongest hook for renters who can’t clear 3x screening at most Cedar Park properties. We send applicants here regularly when a 2x screening floor is the difference between approval and another month of searching. Net effective math on the concession stack: a $1,099 1BR with 1.5 months free over a 12 month lease lands at roughly $962 per month. Additional 6 weeks on select units pushes that lower. That’s renovated 2016 Class A construction with 2x screening, a combination that doesn’t exist anywhere else in our inventory at this price point. The 2x threshold opens approval to renters whose income falls between 2x and 3x of monthly rent. Compared to Lakeline East next door (a flexible screening option at 2.5x), Bexley offers the lower screening threshold at a slightly higher rent. Compared to Bexley at Whitestone in 78717 (same operator, same 2x screening), this property sits on a more retail dense corridor with mall walkability.

Lakeline East

2829 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

A 2013 build with 2.5x screening, an underground tunnel to H-E-B Plus, and a 2 months free concession.

  • 2013 · Class A- · Willow Bridge · 348 units
  • Studio to 2BR · 543 to 1,177 sqft
  • $1,022 to $1,459 · $1.24 to $1.88/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: 2 months free plus 2 to 8 weeks on select units
  • Income: 2.5x · Google: 3.6 stars across 88 reviews

Pros:

  • 2.5x income screening opens approval to renters who don’t quite clear Tier 1 thresholds. At $1,022, qualification starts at $30,660 annually.
  • Exclusive underground tunnel from the property to H-E-B Plus across US-183, plus a separate secured access gate to Lakeline Mall. A feature no other property on this corridor can match.
  • Willow Bridge runs the property and also manages The Ridge at Lakeline (2025 build), giving us a current read on operational standards.
  • 2 months free plus 2 to 8 weeks on select units. Concession stack matches the most aggressive on the corridor.

Cons:

  • 3.6 stars across 88 reviews. Pattern flags maintenance delays and noise transfer as recurring issues.
  • 543 sqft studios are tight for renters with significant furniture or full time remote work setups.
  • Lakeline Blvd road noise affects units on the front side of the property.
  • No 3BR option. Renters needing 3BR should look at Marquis on Lakeline (Tier 1) or Cypress Creek at Lakeline (Tier 2 LIHTC).

Overall Thoughts:

Lakeline East fills the gap between Tier 1’s standard 3x screening and Bexley at Lakeline’s 2x threshold. At 2.5x, qualification on a $1,022 1BR starts at $30,660 annually. That’s roughly $6,000 less than what a 3x community would require. Net effective math on the 2 months free concession gets a $1,022 1BR to roughly $852 per month over a 12 month lease, lower with the additional weeks on select units. The exclusive tunnel from Lakeline East to H-E-B Plus is a feature no other property on this corridor can match, and we’ve had clients tour solely on that detail. Maintenance and noise complaints surface consistently in resident reviews, so we tell renters to plan their tour around them: request units pulled back from the boulevard and ask the leasing team specifically about their maintenance turnaround. If the rent matters more than the screening gap, Lakeline East wins this comparison. But if you can absorb Bexley at Lakeline’s higher rent, the 2x screening there gives you more room.

Cypress Creek at Lakeline

2101 S Lakeline Blvd, Cedar Park 78613

The corridor’s only LIHTC community, the only Section 8 voucher option on this page, and the only 4BR floor plan on S. Lakeline Blvd.

  • 2003 · Class B- · Cypress Creek Apartment Homes · 236 units
  • 1BR to 4BR · 708 to 1,366 sqft
  • $765 to $1,550 · $1.08 to $1.13/sqft
  • Spring 2026 special: None published (verify with leasing office)
  • Income: 2.5x · LIHTC at 60% AMI · Section 8 accepted · Google: 3.2 stars across 68 reviews

Pros:

  • LIHTC tax credit community with rents capped under federal Section 42 rules. Predictable, regulated rent rather than market driven pricing.
  • Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher accepted. One of only a handful of Cedar Park communities that accepts vouchers reliably.
  • $765 starting 1BR is the lowest entry on the corridor. The 4BR at $1,549 is the only 4 bedroom floor plan on S. Lakeline Blvd.
  • Recent unit interior renovations on a rolling basis. Tour to see which floor plans carry refreshed finishes.

Cons:

  • LIHTC qualification required. Annual gross household income must fall under Williamson County’s 60% AMI limit: $57,840 for 1 person, $66,120 for 2 people, scaling up by household size.
  • Older B- construction with phased interior updates. Tour the specific unit you’d be signing for, since renovated and unrenovated floor plans both exist on the property.
  • 3.2 stars across 68 reviews. Lowest rating on the page, though many reviews predate the renovation.
  • Limited amenities compared to market rate communities on the corridor.

Overall Thoughts:

Cypress Creek at Lakeline operates on a different program from every other community on this page. The LIHTC structure means rent is set by federal program rules tied to Williamson County’s Area Median Income, not by what the local market will bear. Pricing is predictable but qualification is gated. If your gross household income falls under the 60% AMI threshold, this is the only LIHTC option directly on the S. Lakeline Blvd corridor. Section 8 voucher acceptance is meaningful here because Texas has no source of income protection law, and many properties that technically accept vouchers haven’t taken one in years. Rolling unit interior updates are changing the experience compared to older reviews that drag the rating to 3.2. Tour completed units to evaluate. The 4BR ceiling at $1,549 is genuinely rare in Cedar Park’s apartment inventory. We’ve placed renters here when LIHTC qualifies and the alternative is a smaller market rate unit at a higher monthly cost. Apply early. LIHTC waitlists are common.


What It’s Like to Live on S. Lakeline Blvd

What renters tell us most often after touring this corridor is that it doesn’t feel like much of a neighborhood. They mean that as a fact, not a complaint. S. Lakeline Blvd is a four lane commercial road with apartment communities lined along its eastern and western edges. There are no through streets between most of the properties. There is no walkable village center. The boulevard runs roughly 1.2 miles from W Whitestone Blvd at the north end to Anderson Mill Rd at the south, and you’ll see every property on this page by driving end to end.

That layout is the corridor’s biggest practical advantage. You can tour three or four properties in a single morning without driving more than two minutes between them. We’ve had clients walk from Marquis on Lakeline (2800 S Lakeline) to Bexley at Lakeline (2801 S Lakeline) in under five minutes. The two communities sit directly across the boulevard from each other. Lakeline East, Lakeline Villas, and Cypress Creek at Lakeline all sit within a half mile band that’s easy to walk between for anyone wanting to compare physical layouts side by side.

Traffic on Lakeline Blvd itself stays moderate during off peak hours. It builds at the rush windows, particularly at the US-183 intersection at the south end and the Whitestone intersection at the north. Plan extra time between 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM if your commute crosses either intersection.

Commute reality from this corridor:

  • The Domain (Apple, Indeed, Oracle): 15 to 20 minutes via 183A toll or FM 620
  • Downtown Austin (financial district, Capitol): 30 to 35 minutes off peak via MoPac, longer in rush hour
  • Lakeline MetroRail Station: 3 to 4 miles east on Lakeline Blvd, usually a 10 to 12 minute drive
  • Cedar Park Regional Medical Center: 6 to 12 minutes north depending on the property
  • Round Rock (Dell, Tesla): 25 to 30 minutes east on FM 620 or 183A

For renters working remote full time, the lack of walkability matters less. For renters who want to walk to dinner or coffee, this corridor isn’t the right fit. Whitestone & Downtown Cedar Park has the only walkable Main Street restaurant cluster in our coverage area.


Retail and Dining Within a 5 Minute Drive

[Photo: Lakeline Mall main entrance with the parking area in the foreground]

The retail picture is what we tell renters about first when the lack of walkability comes up on tour. The corridor’s geographic position covers the gap. Two of Cedar Park’s largest commercial anchors sit at either end: Lakeline Mall at the south, and the Whitestone Blvd retail strip at the north. From any community on this page, both anchors are within a 5 minute drive.

Lakeline Mall and US-183 Corridor (south end):

Lakeline Mall sits just south of Anderson Mill Rd, anchored by Macy’s, JCPenney, Dillard’s, and AMC Theatres, with a food court and roughly 140 specialty stores. Across US-183 from the mall sits the Lakeline H-E-B Plus and the Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline. Adjacent to the mall, Lakeline Plaza holds Best Buy, TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Five Below, Total Wine, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Office Max. Lakeline East residents have an exclusive underground tunnel from the property to the H-E-B Plus area, which eliminates the US-183 crossing for groceries. We’d note this is the corridor’s single most useful retail feature, and it’s available to one property only. Renters at every other community on the corridor cross US-183 by car for the same access.

1890 Ranch Shopping Center (Whitestone Blvd, north end):

Five minutes north on Whitestone Blvd at the 183A intersection, the 1890 Ranch Shopping Center holds Super Target, Hobby Lobby, PetSmart, Academy Sports, Ross, Office Max, and a 12 screen Cinemark theater. The restaurant cluster here is what we point out when renters worry about dining options on the corridor: Jack Allen’s Kitchen, LongHorn Steakhouse, Mighty Fine Burgers, Crumbl Cookies, and Freddy’s Frozen Custard, all in one center.

Specific dining within 5 minutes of S. Lakeline Blvd:

  • Pluckers Wing Bar (1890 Ranch and Discovery Blvd locations)
  • Cedro Scratch Italian Kitchen (Discovery Blvd)
  • Texican Cafe on Pecan Park Blvd
  • Snooze A.M. Eatery (1890 Ranch)
  • BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse (1890 Ranch)
  • Torchy’s Tacos (Discovery Blvd)

Other essentials nearby:

  • Cedar Park Regional Medical Center at 1401 Medical Pkwy sits 3 to 5 miles north of the corridor, a 6 to 12 minute drive depending on the property and time of day
  • LA Fitness (825 W Whitestone Blvd), Crunch Fitness (1335 E Whitestone Blvd), Gold’s Gym (1314 E Cypress Creek Rd), Orangetheory (5001 183A Toll Rd), Life Time (13725 Ranch Rd 620, Austin)

Lakeline Park and Trail Access

The corridor’s outdoor story changed in March 2023 when Cedar Park opened the first phase of Lakeline Park on the eastern edge of the area at 1510 Alexis Drive. We mention this on every tour now, because it changed our answer to the question we used to get most often about this corridor: where do residents go for green space? The park sits on roughly 100 acres, with another 100 acres in the planned Phase 2 (design wrapping up in 2026, construction date pending).

What’s open today:

  • 4 miles of extra wide pedestrian trails
  • A 2.5 mile loop around the central lake
  • Kayak and canoe rentals at $20 per hour for solo, $30 per hour for tandem
  • A fishing pier
  • A universally designed playground with sensory features
  • 10 acres of athletic fields
  • Open lawn space for events and casual recreation

For S. Lakeline Blvd renters, the park is genuinely accessible. From any community on this page, Lakeline Park’s main entrance on Alexis Drive is reachable in a 5 to 10 minute drive. The properties closest to the park (Red Stone Ranch and Lodge at Lakeline Village at the north end of the corridor) are within a 10 to 15 minute walk if you’re willing to follow S. Lakeline Blvd north and turn east on Alexis. Cedar Park is also designing a pedestrian bridge over US-183 to connect Lakeline Park with the Brushy Creek Regional Trail, with construction expected to wrap by the end of 2027.

Beyond Lakeline Park, the broader Cedar Park outdoor inventory we cover is reachable by short drive:

  • Brushy Creek Regional Trail connects through southern Cedar Park, with multiple trailheads accessible within a 15 minute drive. The trail runs roughly 13 miles paved and connects Brushy Creek Lake Park, Brushy Creek Sports Park, and Champion Park.
  • Veterans Memorial Park at 2525 W New Hope Drive (10 minute drive) has the largest off leash dog park in the Cedar Park area, plus a community pool, pavilions, and tennis courts.
  • Quarry Splash Pad at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park in Leander (12 to 15 minute drive northwest) is the largest splash pad in the area for families with younger children during summer months.

For renters who prioritize green space, the addition of Lakeline Park has materially closed the gap between this corridor and Cedar Park’s traditionally park rich neighborhoods like Avery Ranch or Brushy Creek. Our guide to the best parks in Cedar Park for busy people covers each park with realistic time commitments for working renters.


Featured Property Spotlight: Marquis on Lakeline

If you’re touring this corridor for the first time and want one community to anchor the comparison, Marquis on Lakeline is where we’d start. Highest Google rating on the page (4.1 stars across 189 reviews, the deepest review history of any property here), most floor plan diversity (15 plans from 444 sqft studios to 1,355 sqft 3BRs), and the strongest active concession at 2 months free on a 12 month lease. CWS Capital Partners has run this property since the 2015 build, and our experience working with their leasing team has been consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do apartments cost on S. Lakeline Blvd?

Market rate 1BRs start at $890 per month at Red Stone Ranch and run up to $2,115 for the largest units at Marquis on Lakeline. The income restricted 1BR floor at Cypress Creek at Lakeline is $765. 2BRs start at $1,200, 3BRs at $1,550, and the only 4BR on the corridor (also at Cypress Creek) is $1,549. Spring 2026 concessions of 1.5 to 2 months free are active at most communities, which materially lowers net effective rent.

Are there apartments on S. Lakeline with flexible income screening?

Yes. Three of the seven communities screen below the standard 3x threshold. Bexley at Lakeline screens at 2x, the lowest threshold on the corridor. Lakeline East screens at 2.5x. Cypress Creek at Lakeline screens at 2.5x for non Section 8 applicants and accepts Section 8 vouchers. The Tier 2 section above breaks down each option.

Which S. Lakeline Blvd community has the best Google reviews?

Marquis on Lakeline at 4.1 stars across 189 reviews. Lodge at Lakeline Village is second at 4.0 across 167. Both have review histories deep enough to support real evaluation of management consistency over time. The Tier 1 section walks through both.

Is there income restricted housing on S. Lakeline Blvd?

Cypress Creek at Lakeline is the corridor’s only LIHTC tax credit community. Annual gross household income must fall under Williamson County’s 60% AMI limit: $57,840 for 1 person, $66,120 for 2 people, scaling up by household size. The community also accepts Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, which is uncommon on this corridor and in Cedar Park generally.

What school district are S. Lakeline Blvd apartments in?

All seven communities fall in Leander ISD. Within the corridor, properties are zoned to either Cedar Park High School or Vista Ridge High School depending on exact address. Elementary and middle school assignments vary. Verify the attendance zone for any specific unit address with LISD before signing a lease.

How long does it take to commute to downtown Austin from S. Lakeline Blvd?

Roughly 30 to 35 minutes off peak via MoPac. Rush hour adds 15 to 25 minutes depending on time of day and the specific route. The MetroRail Lakeline Station sits 3 to 4 miles east on Lakeline Blvd (10 to 12 minute drive), which gets you to downtown Austin in roughly 50 minutes total without driving the full distance yourself. Our commuting to Austin from Cedar Park guide covers route options in detail.


Final Thoughts

S. Lakeline Blvd is the corridor we point renters to when income screening is uncertain, when 3x at most Cedar Park properties has been a barrier, or when a renovated unit at sub $1,000 entry matters more than newest construction. Three of seven communities screen below 3x. One screens at 2x. One is LIHTC with Section 8 acceptance. That density of flexible screening doesn’t exist anywhere else in our market.

Geography helps.

The 1.2 mile boulevard layout makes side by side comparison faster here than on any other corridor we cover. Tour three or four properties in a morning and you’ll have a clear read on what fits your budget and your screening profile.

If you want help cutting through the seven options, our team works directly with the leasing offices at all of them. We can prescreen credit and income before applications, identify which concessions will actually apply to your situation, and match unit availability to what you’re looking for. The service is free to renters because the property pays a placement fee. Call or text the Cedar Park Apartment Team at 512-520-0311, or reach us through the contact form.
