As demand for more spacious, flexible and hybridized housing options continues to grow, built-to-rent communities are poised to play an increasingly important role in the housing market. By blending the best of traditional homeownership with the best of apartment living, Caso University Heights in Round Rock provides uniquely appealing housing options for modern families.

“I’ve been with Caso University Heights since they opened up,” said Ian Goodwin, a regional property manager with Greystar. “The part I really love about [this community] is that the home renter was at the heart of the thought process—large-sized closets, large bedrooms, nicely insulated—all of them are very thoughtfully laid out.”

In recent years, Goodwin has observed an increase in properties following the built-to-rent model, where communities are designed and constructed specifically for the purpose of renting rather than selling. This model provides residents with the privacy, features and amenities of a single-family home alongside the convenience and maintenance-free lifestyle of renting.

At Caso University Heights, renters can opt for spacious homes and a variety of styles, choosing the floor plan and aesthetic that best suit their tastes and circumstances. By joining this community, renters can achieve dreams of having a guest bedroom, a two-car garage and unrestricted outdoor parking without having to first purchase a home.

“When you come to tour the property, you might be looking at a two-bedroom because that's what you're used to living in with an apartment,” Goodwin said. “If you’re looking for [something with more individual rooms] and thinking, ‘I’ve got roommates, but I also need an office space,’ some of [our homes] have four bedrooms and a little loft area, so you can set up a desk and work from home.”

Benefits of living in Caso University Heights include:
  • Modern finishes, large closets, covered patios
  • Private yards and attached garages
  • Close-knit community living
  • Strategic location
  • Resident-first home designs and layouts
  • On-site property manager/maintenance teams
Residents gain access to private yards, two-car garages and spacious floor plans, in addition to maintenance and landscaping services and an on-call property manager. The neighborhood offers two- to four-bedroom homes, all with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and gas stoves.

Lease terms typically range from 12 to 18 months, and residents can opt for other available units at the end of their lease terms, similar to the options offered at a traditional apartment complex. Goodwin finds it especially rewarding to see the community grow and develop.

“It’s like seeing a vision come to life. And now going there and seeing cars in the driveways and people walking around the area it’s even better than expected,” Goodwin said.
