The New Build Board is a map and a set of cards covering every ground-up apartment community we track in the San Antonio metro. On Oct 25, 2026 that was 111 communities across Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, and Kendall counties. You can scan it by area, by stage, or by the number that matters most to you: what you’ll actually pay each month. Each card is built from feed tokens, not typed-in text. The feed is pulled every morning, and the pull time sits on the board so you always know how fresh a number is. Prices can change by lunch. If something’s gone when you call, just tell us and we’ll send what’s actually open, the same day. ## What does each card show? Every card carries the same nine things, in the same order, so two buildings always compare on the same terms: 1. **Who can rent here.** A label for 55+, income-restricted, or PFC units, with its source and date, sitting above the price. 2. **Base rent.** The contract rent before any special. 3. **The special and its end date.** Weeks free, a lower base, or a credit, with the date it ends. 4. **Net effective rent.** The free weeks and credits spread across every month of the lease term. 5. **Required fees.** Trash, tech, pest, package, and admin charges you can’t opt out of. 6. **True monthly cost.** Net effective plus required fees, plus electric, water, and parking where they apply. 7. **Year two.** The renewal price, usually priced from base rent, at 0% and +3%. 8. **Utility provider.** CPS Energy, NBU, a co-op, or another provider, by address. 9. **Lease-up stage.** Pre-leasing, lease-up, or stabilizing, plus the San Antonio New Build Score. Net effective by floor plan shows where the feed carries it, from studios and one-bedrooms to two-bedrooms and townhomes. Available units and the special lease term show on the card too, because a special that only applies to a 15-month term or to “select units” isn’t the same deal as one that applies to every unit. ## How do we calculate the numbers? The math is the same on every card, and it’s published so you can check it: - **Net effective** = (base x term - base x 12 / 52 x weeks free - credits) / term - **True monthly** = net effective + required fees (+ electric, water, parking) - **Year two** = base x (1 + change) + fees, shown at 0% and +3% Here’s the worked illustration from Far Northwest, with values as of Oct 25, 2026. At Prose On The Range, $1,215 base with up to 10 weeks free on a 12-month lease comes to $14,580 minus $2,803.85, or $11,776.15 over 12 months. That’s $981.35 net effective. Add $52.38 in required fees and true monthly is $1,033.73. Year two at a flat renewal is $1,267.38, a $233.65 jump. That last number is the one most searches miss. It’s not a reason to skip a deep special. It’s a reason to plan for month 13 before you sign, and it’s why we check in at month 10 with a Renewal Check. ## How does the San Antonio New Build Score work? The score runs from 0 to 100 and weighs six things: deal depth (30), price against nearby new builds (20), year-two risk (15), lease-up stage (15), fee disclosure (10), and how complete the build is (10). It never scores location, schools, distance to a base, reviews, or people. Those are your choices, and we show them as facts instead. Nobody pays for a score or a placement, and commission data never reaches the score or the sort order. The full method lives in our guide on how the New Build Score works [/guides/how-the-new-build-score-works/ →](/guides/how-the-new-build-score-works/) . ## What we leave off the board, and why We track ground-up new construction only, with first move-ins from 2023 to 2027. Conversions such as Tower Life and The Whitney, renovations, and renamed older buildings stay off. A property’s own site can also remove it if the data doesn’t match. A few board flags we handle by hand: St. Mary’s Flats and Elmira Flats share one leasing site and listing data, so we flag both and count them once. Los Cielos at Brooks is on the South Side, not Downtown. When we find a mistake, we fix it within one business day and log it on our corrections page [/corrections/ →](/corrections/) . ## Where do utilities and schools fit in? No board address has retail electric choice. On Oct 25, 2026, CPS Energy served 84 board addresses and NBU served 19, with GVEC, Seguin Electric, PEC, and Bandera EC serving a handful. School district is a fact of the address, such as Northside ISD in the Far Northwest, and we list it with a lookup link. We never rate or rank schools on a card. ## How to use the board with us Save the buildings you like, compare up to four side by side, and send the list to the team. We’ll call each leasing office the same day, confirm the unit, the special, and the fee sheet, and send back year-two and 24-month math. If a building is still finishing, we confirm in writing what’s done, from the Certificate of Occupancy to the pool, before you sign. Start with the specials [/specials/ →](/specials/) if price is your main filter, the lease-ups [/lease-ups/ →](/lease-ups/) if you want the deepest discounts, or opening soon [/opening-soon/ →](/opening-soon/) if your move date is a few months out. Worked example ## One building, four numbers Illustration, values as of Oct 25, 2026; live page uses the feed. (Prose On The Range, Far Northwest) Electric: CPS Energy, no plan choice · ISD: Northside ISD Base rent $1,215 10 weeks free on 12 months Net effective $981.35 Free weeks spread over the term True monthly $1,033.73 Adds $52.38 required fees (Greystar calculator) Year two $1,267.38 $233.65 jump (+23%) $1,215 x 12 = $14,580. Ten free weeks are worth $1,215 x 12 / 52 x 10 = $2,803.85. $14,580 - $2,803.85 = $11,776.15, divided by 12 = $981.35. Add $52.38 in fees for $1,033.73. Year two at a 0% change is $1,215 + $52.38 = $1,267.38. The $500 gift card, shown separately. Run the numbers ## Check a special yourself ### Special Decoder Turn any move-in special into net effective, true monthly, and the year-two price. True monthly \- Net effective \- Year two \- Year-two jump \- Year-two jump (%) \- 24-month total \- Net effective = (base x term - base x 12 / 52 x weeks free - credits) / term. True monthly = net effective + fees. Year two = base x (1 + change) + fees. Estimate only. The community sets pricing and approval, and we confirm them before you sign.

Common problems ## Why new-build searches go wrong Listing grids lead with the headline special. Here's what that hides. 1 ### The special looks like the price Ten weeks free on a $1,215 base sounds like $1,215 a month. Spread over 12 months it's $981.35, and fees push it to $1,033.73. None of that shows on a banner. 2 ### Fees live somewhere else Required fees ran $52.38 to $320.50 a month across 10 market-rate board buildings on Oct 25, 2026. They sit in calculators, addenda, and portals, not on the listing. 3 ### Year two is invisible Renewal is priced from base, not the special. At the board median of 8.7 weeks free, year two runs about 20% higher than year one. **So we** put base rent, the special, net effective, true monthly, and year two on every card, and confirm each one with the leasing office before you tour.

Ground-up new construction with first move-ins from 2023 to 2027 that's pre-leasing, in lease-up, or still offering lease-up pricing. Renovations, conversions like Tower Life and The Whitney, and renamed older buildings stay off. ### How many communities do you track? 111 on Oct 25, 2026, across Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, and Kendall counties. The count comes from the feed and is dated on the board. ### What's the difference between net effective and true monthly? Net effective spreads the free weeks and credits across the lease term. True monthly adds required fees, and electric, water, and parking where they apply. In our Oct 25, 2026 illustration, net effective was $981.35 and true monthly was $1,033.73. ### Does commission affect the New Build Score or the sort order? No. Commission data never reaches the score, the sort, placement, recommendations, or alerts. Nobody pays for score or placement. ### Why did a price disappear from a card? Stale prices hide automatically, and expired, truncated, or site-mismatched specials don't publish. If something's gone when you call, tell us and we'll send what's actually open, the same day. ### Can I save buildings and send them to you? Yes. Save buildings, compare up to four side by side, and send the list to the team. Alerts for saved buildings go out only with your consent, at most one a day. ### Can you guarantee a price or approval? No. The community sets both pricing and approval. We pull prices every morning and confirm the numbers with the leasing office before you sign. Still have a question? Send it with your shortlist request [/contact/ →](/contact/) and we'll answer the same day.
