We score every community on the same five dimensions, each from 0 to 10, each with a fixed share of the rating that never changes between communities. Multiply each score by its share, add the five together, and you get the number. Resident reviews are evidence for the scores, never averaged in.
The Quincy is the tower at Red River and Cesar Chavez, right where downtown runs into the Rainey Street bars and the lake. We track pricing across more than 1,100 Austin communities, and two things set this one apart. Its studios start low for a tower this new, and it packs a lot into the building: a grocery in the lobby, a front desk, a coworking space and guest suites.
Here's what the listing photos leave out. The property's own price list adds $163 a month in required fees to every plan, and parking and utilities sit on top of that. One bedroom pricing has a cliff: the smallest plan costs about what a big studio does, and the plans from 750 square feet up run over $1,000 a month more. And across Cesar Chavez, the convention center is being torn down and rebuilt through 2029.
Further down: the true monthly cost with whatever special is running, the 14 homes held for lower incomes, what residents say about living here, and the questions to ask before you sign. It's the talk we'd have with you before a tour.
Every number in this section comes from one place: The Quincy's own pricing feed, refreshed every day. Start with the size you need, then open the exact plan. These are advertised base rents. Fees come on top, and the true cost section below adds them in. The prices at the top of this page are the homes The Quincy lists open on its own site today. The plans below come from its floor plan feed, which can run a day behind, so a price can differ between the two. A plan with no home listed open shows no price, and you can ask us about it.
14 of the 347 apartments here are saved for renters who earn under a set amount. Earn more and you can't rent those. So if one price looks way cheaper, that is probably why. Ask the leasing office which ones. To rent here, you usually need to earn at least 3x the advertised base rent, counted before any other specials apply. Screening criteria change. Confirm with the leasing office before you apply.

Data reviewed by Ross Quade, Licensed Apartment Locator (TREC #679806)How we get our dataplan level pricing and availability from the community's pricing feed, checked October 15
Advertised rent is not the whole story. Most communities charge monthly fees on top of rent and bill you for the utilities you use, like water, electric, and internet. It varies a lot, so ask for the fee sheet on your tour. Pick your unit, add the extras that apply, and choose the month you move in. The calculator shows what you should expect to pay each month once those are added and the special is spread across the lease. It is an estimate, not a quote. Only the community can give you a final price.
Bed types come from live pricing. Options are grayed out if The Quincy doesn't offer that layout.
Specials come from the community and can change or end at any time. Some apply only to select units. The math here is an estimate, not a quote. Confirm the exact numbers on your tour before you sign.
Text me my best priceFree to you. The community pays the Austin Apartment Team a small referral fee, the same way a seller might pay a buyer's agent. We talk with leasing offices every day, track their current specials, and push for the best deal on your behalf.
This is your net effective rent: the special spread evenly across the lease. The community may actually give it as free months, so a single month's bill can be higher or lower. What you pay over the whole lease is the same.

Solid is the advertised rent before the special; dashed is the net effective rent on a 12-month lease.
Not counted as rent moves, since the record we read the rent from changed on those days: any size on Aug 31, Sep 13, Oct 12 and Oct 13; studio on Aug 31, Sep 13, Oct 12 and Oct 13; 1 bedroom on Aug 31, Sep 13, Oct 12 and Oct 13; 2 bedroom on Aug 31, Sep 13, Oct 12 and Oct 13.

Every pin is a comparable 1 bedroom nearby. The colored ring shows price vs The Quincy. The letter chip in the corner of each pin shows the community's class so you can compare apples to apples. Click any pin for the full detail.
Check the size behind each price on this map. The Quincy's cheapest studio is a small one at 382 square feet, but its studios as a group price below the newer Rainey towers per square foot. Among the Rainey towers, only the older Skyhouse beats them. One bedrooms come in two tiers: the small plans under 650 square feet, priced near the studios, then the 750 to 884 square foot plans, which cost much more but still run below 700 River, Paseo and The Travis per square foot. Two bedrooms follow the same pattern. Before you compare totals, add back The Quincy's $163 in required fees, and ask every other building on this map what it adds on top of its rent.
Every amenity gets a green (works as advertised), yellow (mixed reviews), or red (residents complain) badge based on what people actually wrote.
Advertised: "Pool with soaking ledge & plunge pool."
Reality: Cabanas, shaded lounge beds and a refreshment bar sit around it. Pool upkeep comes up a handful of times in reviews, so look at the water and the furniture on your tour.
Advertised: "Rooftop terrace with outdoor fire pit & gas torchieres."
Reality: Along with a sky lounge and an observation deck, this is where the lake and skyline views pay off. It works for having friends over without crowding your apartment.
Advertised: "Yoga & TRX room overlooking pool terrace."
Reality: Good for a stretch or a TRX session with a view over the pool. The amenity list names this room and no separate gym, so if you lift, ask to see the workout space on your tour.
Advertised: "Large co-working space & business center with printers."
Reality: Plus a private conference room and small meeting booths. If you work from home a few days a week, this is a real place to work, not a desk in the corner of the lobby.
Advertised: "Royal Blue Grocery in Lobby."
Reality: Good for coffee, snacks and the one thing you forgot for dinner. For a full weekly shop, the Whole Foods on East 5th is about a ten minute walk under I-35.
Advertised: "Indoor dog grooming spa with blow dryers."
Reality: With no weight limit for dogs and the trail five minutes away, this is an easy building for a big dog. Pet fees add up, so see the pet tab below.
Advertised: "Concierge services."
Reality: The front desk is the most praised thing here after the leasing team, and residents call out desk staff by name. Packages go to automated lockers, and there are dry cleaning lockers too.
Advertised: "Sports lounge with shuffleboard, pool table & flat screens."
Reality: A place to watch the game without paying Rainey Street prices. The building holds resident events, and one resident who has lived here since it opened says they make it easier to get to know the neighbors.
Advertised: "Guest suites."
Reality: Somewhere for out of town guests to stay without a hotel bill. The property doesn't publish the nightly rate or the booking rules, so ask for both before you count on them.
Advertised: "Electrical vehicle charging stations."
Reality: No parking comes with the apartment. An open garage spot runs $125 a month and a reserved one $200. Ask how many chargers there are and how residents share them.
Advertised: "Bike room with repair station."
Reality: Handy here, with the trail, Rainey and the rest of downtown a short ride away. Bike theft shows up in the police reports for this block, so lock it even inside.

Everything The Quincy publishes about its own amenities and policies, in one place. No digging through their site, no trusting a listing site's stale copy.
Two pets per home, any size. Some breeds are restricted, and the list isn't posted, so get a copy before you apply. Per the property's site, assistance animals are exempt from the breed, size, weight, fee and deposit rules.
Plan on $400 per pet up front, which isn't refunded, and $35 a month in pet rent for each one. Pet screening goes through an outside service at $30 per pet each year.
No parking comes with the apartment. An open garage spot is $125 a month and a reserved spot is $200. The building has EV charging stations.
Street parking around Rainey fills up on weekend nights, and the bars bring a steady line of rideshare cars to the block. Private storage rooms are $125 a month.

We read every review across Google. Here's the sentiment breakdown, the themes that came up over and over, and real quotes.
"Truly, I think we have one of the best views in Austin."
"The staff is genuinely friendly and responsive, the building is beautiful, and you can’t beat the location."
"Paul was an absolute light from day one."
"The maintenance team is sometimes slow to respond and can seem a bit disorganized, but they eventually get the job done."
If a friend asked us, we'd say this. The Quincy is a good building in a great spot, with a 4.3 rating across 275 reviews, and the staff are what residents praise first. What catches people is the money around the rent: $163 in fees, parking, every utility, and one bedrooms that jump over $1,000 a month once you pass 750 square feet. Price the whole month before you fall for the view. Then walk the exact home you'd rent, look hard at the walls, cabinets and grout, and get anything worn fixed before you move in, not after.
North facing homes look across Cesar Chavez at the convention center rebuild. South facing homes look toward Rainey Street and the lake, and the bars there run late on weekends. A higher floor takes the edge off both. Ask which way the home faces, and stand in it with the windows shut on a Friday night before you sign.
Every fact below is pulled from public data sources (Austin PD, City of Austin permits, FEMA, EPA AirNow, Google) and refreshed automatically. Our read sits on top of the data.
Keep in mind what this number covers. The Quincy's census block group sits at the north end of the Rainey Street bar district, with hotels along Cesar Chavez and big weekend crowds. Of 430 incidents in the past year, 357 were property incidents and 73 were personal. Theft, criminal trespass and car break ins top the list, with 14 bike thefts and 15 mail thefts. That's a little under the average block group in the same police sector, though counts rose about 18 percent in recent months. Fob entry and a staffed lobby help inside the building. Our read: leave nothing in your car, lock your bike even in the bike room, and walk home on the busier streets late on a Saturday.
Crime numbers tell one part of the story. The other question we get about a block like this: what about the cars? So we pulled the city's crash reports for a quarter mile around the building on October 15, 2026. We pull them again every month.
64 crashes in the past 12 months, including 7 serious injuries. Most happen on I-35 and Cesar Chavez.
Our take: pedestrians have been seriously hurt here in the past 12 months. Cross at signals and treat the busy streets with respect, especially at night.
Times shown are a current reading including live traffic, not a full weekday average. Refresh to fetch again. Rush hour commutes (8am / 5pm) will typically run longer than what you see here.
Most of downtown is a walk from here. Congress Avenue and the Downtown rail station are each under ten minutes on foot, and the 2 bus stops at Cesar Chavez and Red River. Driving, UT is about 12 minutes, the Domain about 21 at 8:30 on a Tuesday, and Tesla and the airport about 21 to 23. I-35 is a few blocks east, so the highway is close, and its rebuild is the thing to watch on any trip north or south.
Issued: Apr 6 2026 · City project: underground work for the rebuild of the Austin Convention Center · Status: Active
Impact: The convention center across Cesar Chavez is closed and being rebuilt, with reopening planned for 2029. Expect construction noise and trucks on the north side of the building until then.
Issued: May 8 2026 · Shell permit for a 57 story mixed use apartment tower with a parking garage, lobby, offices, dog park, gym and coworking · Status: Active
Impact: Another tall apartment tower is coming a couple of blocks east. Near term that means cranes and trucks. Longer term it adds hundreds of new homes nearby, and more supply tends to mean more specials.
Issued: Aug 12 2026 · Two bungalows remodeled and joined into one shell for a future restaurant · Status: Active
Impact: One more place to eat on Rainey, a couple of minutes away on foot, and one more reason the street stays busy on weekends.
This corner will keep changing for years. Across Cesar Chavez, the convention center is closed and being rebuilt, with the city planning to reopen it in 2029. A couple of blocks east at 62 East Avenue, a permit issued in May covers the shell of a 57 story apartment tower with its own garage. On Rainey itself, two bungalows at 78 Rainey are being joined into one restaurant. Expect cranes and trucks for the next few years, then more places to eat and more neighbors.

Rainey Street covers most nights out, but these are the spots we'd point a friend to. Corinne is four minutes away for breakfast or brunch, and Moonshine Grill, in a historic house, is the same walk for dinner. Half Step is the cocktail bar three minutes down Rainey, and the Elephant Room is underground jazz on Congress. For coffee, Mudhouse and Comunidad are each about ten minutes on foot.
The Quincy sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, the minimal hazard designation, checked at the building in October 2026. No flood insurance requirement.
Fine particles came in at moderate when we checked, a notch above good. Ozone and dust both read good. For allergies, cedar season runs December to February, ragweed peaks in the fall, and summer can bring a hazy day or two of wildfire smoke.
Current EPA AirNow reading:
AQI 0-50 = Good · 51-100 = Moderate · 101-150 = Unhealthy for sensitive groups · 151+ = Unhealthy for everyone. Today's headline number is 52, driven by PM2.5.
Flood isn't a concern at the building, even this close to the lake: FEMA Zone X, minimal hazard, checked in October 2026. On the day we checked, fine particles in the air read moderate, just past good. Pollen read moderate for trees and grass and high for weeds, and ragweed season runs through the fall. The bigger question in a tower is power, covered in the grid note below.

The Quincy gets the big things right for someone who wants downtown on foot: the lake trail and Rainey Street minutes away, real views from the upper floors, a grocery and a front desk in the lobby, and studios that start low for a tower this new. The staff are the most praised thing in its reviews by a wide margin.
The tradeoffs are cost and condition. Every plan carries $163 a month in required fees before parking and utilities, the one bedrooms jump hard once they pass 750 square feet, and some homes are turned over looking worn. Go in with the full monthly number, walk the exact home you'd rent, and get every fix in writing before you sign.
Tell us your budget and must haves. We'll send a shortlist that includes The Quincy plus 2-3 alternatives worth comparing, free.
No. Electric, water and sewer are billed to you, and so is internet. Separately, the property adds $163 a month in required fees to the base rent of every plan on its own price list. Ask leasing for the fee guide and what utilities have averaged over the past year on your plan.
Yes, and there's no weight limit. Up to 2 pets per home, and standard breed restrictions apply. Budget a $400 fee per pet that you don't get back plus $35 a month per pet. There's an indoor dog grooming room, and the Butler Trail is about five minutes away.
One bedrooms run from $1,631 to $3,465 depending on the plan and floor (598–884 sq ft). The low end is usually the 598 square foot plan. The plans of 750 square feet and up start more than $1,000 a month above it. Add $163 in required fees, parking and utilities. Prices move daily, so text us for the number on a specific home.
Specials here come and go, and the calculator on this page applies whichever one is running now. Send us a text before your tour and we'll check which homes it covers. Before you sign, ask leasing what your rent does at renewal.
The Quincy doesn't publish a number. Plan on about 3x the monthly rent, measured on the base rent, not the rent after the special. For a $1,631 one bedroom that works out to $4,893 a month, or $58,716 a year, in income you can document. Approval usually takes one to three business days. Screening rules can change, so check with leasing before you apply.
Yes, a few. The city lists 14 homes here set aside for households at or under 80 percent of the area median income, held at that level through 2061. For 2026 that limit is $74,800 a year for one person and $85,450 for two. Those homes have their own income paperwork, so ask leasing which plans are open.
An open garage spot is $125 a month and a reserved spot is $200, and no spot comes with the apartment. Street parking near Rainey fills up on weekend nights.
Leases start at 6 months, and the property's own price list quotes most homes on 12 to 16 month terms. Shorter leases usually cost more each month, so price two or three lengths before you pick one.
City of Austin police reports logged 357 property incidents and 73 personal incidents in this census block group over the past 12 months. The average block group in the same police sector logged 381 and 90, so this one runs a little under its sector. Theft, trespassing and car break ins lead the list, which fits a block next to a bar district. The monthly count rose about 18 percent in recent months. The building has fob entry and a front desk.
Apartment communities pay locator agents a small referral fee when we send them a renter who signs a lease. That money comes out of their marketing budget, the same money they'd spend on ads. You never pay us, and using a locator doesn't raise your rent.
Rents and open homes refresh daily from our pricing data. We read the amenities, pet policy, the $163 in required monthly fees and the Google rating in October 2026, and the review themes come from 294 reviews pooled from several review sites. The admin, parking, storage and pet fees come from other listings, so check those on your tour. If something looks off, tell us and we'll ask leasing.
Not the right fit? Here's how The Quincy stacks up against the closest alternatives nearby.
