Round Rock Apartments for Rent

Round Rock Information

Looking for apartments in Round Rock, TX?

Named by CQ Press as the second safest city in Texas (population of 100,000) Round Rock is an entity which has recently become a rapidly expanding force. Residents are attracted to the area in large part because of its location, development, and accolades. Interstate 35 is the major highway that runs through Round Rock and provides the quickest path to Austin, an approximately 30 minute drive south.

Those who are lucky enough to avoid braving the Austin traffic can look for employment at some of the major local companies. Dell Computers has its international headquarters here, and an Ikea and Premium Outlet center have also recently opened up shop.

In recent years, Round Rock has been on a plethora of top ten lists put out by magazines such as Family Circle and Money magazine. Its city website shows and links to sites where it has been named “One of the Best Towns for Families," "One of the Best Places to Live," "One of the Best Places to Live, Work and Play," "One of the Best Cities for Relocating Families," and "One of Best Cities for Young People."

Residents do not have to venture too far out of town to find things to do. Shopping can be found at the Premium Outlets or La Frontera, both of which house big name tenants. The Dell Diamond and Old Settler’s Park are major local recreational destinations. The Dell Diamond, a $25 million dollar facility, is home to the Round Rock Express and was ranked as the number one minor league park by Minor League News. The 570 acre Old Settler's park provides facilities for disc golf, cricket, baseball, softball, fishing, barbecue, picnics, and more.

Round Rock is world famous for its "orange donuts,: which Round Rock Donuts started producing in 1926. As an addition to their smaller counterparts, Round Rock Donuts has also created the Texas Donut (which features the same amount of dough as a dozen of regular donuts). These gems have been featured on the Travel Channel's Man vs. Food, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Today Show. With publicity like that, this place is not something to miss.

The bakery opens at 4 a.m., and there's always a line.
