Overview of Findings
Apartment List has released Round Rock’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.
"Round Rock renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "However, ratings varied greatly across different categories, indicating that even though renters love Round Rock, some aspects can be better."
Key Findings in Round Rock include the following:
- Round Rock renters gave their city an A- overall.
- The highest-rated categories for Round Rock were pet-friendliness and safety and low crime rate, which both received A+ grades.
- The areas of concern to Round Rock renters are public transit and commute time, which both received scores of F.
- Round Rock earned similar scores compared to other cities in Texas like Austin (A-) and San Antonio (A-), but earned higher marks than Houston (B+) and Dallas (B).
- Round Rock did relatively well compared to cities nationwide, including Portland (B), Phoenix (B-) and Indianapolis (C+).
- The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.
