Five Points Apartment Locator - We Publish the Numbers
San Antonio Apartment Locators serves Five Points, the compact district north of downtown where Fredericksburg Road, San Pedro Avenue, and North Flores Street converge near San Pedro Springs Park. The service is free to renters - the community pays a referral fee. Five Points apartments run a compressed tier stack: a thin layer of newer infill at Class A or upper-B standards, a modest Class B band, and older small apartment buildings and fourplexes with independent ownership at Class C, where a manager reviews a file directly rather than routing it through a software rule. The non-conventional layer, duplexes and converted commercial space, is proportionally large compared with most San Antonio submarkets. San Antonio ISD covers the district. The Green Line rail corridor runs along San Pedro Avenue directly through the district, with construction active as of mid-2026 and service projected for 2028 - a real disruption to traffic today and a concrete transit upgrade for anyone signing a longer-term lease.

The gap between the listing and the answer
A renter working from a listing site sees sticker price and no signal about whether their application will clear in Five Points. Both gaps close with the same work.
The listing shows price, not policy
Zillow tells you a unit is available. It does not tell you the property wants 620 credit with a 7-year eviction lookback and will not take a guarantor. Two buildings on the same street, same rent, run different standards.
Application fees are the real cost of guessing
They run $50-$75 each and are non-refundable. Apply at four properties that were never going to approve your file and you have spent $200-$300 to be told no four times.
A $200 balance blocks like a $2,000 one
Property debt is the hardest single screening factor in San Antonio. A small balance is rarely ignorable; at a lot of properties it is a hard stop until it is cleared or a payment plan is documented.
The advertised rent is not the monthly cost
Valet trash, pest, RUBS water and sewer, billing admin and tech or amenity packages add 7-15% over base rent, and CPS Energy swings hard in summer.

What the stock in Five Points is actually made of
Five Points rental inventory divides into four tiers within a small geography. A thin band of newer infill on the reinvested edges of Fredericksburg Road and San Pedro Avenue carries Class A or upper-B screening standards, typically 3x income and credit minimums in the mid-600s. Below that is a modest Class B layer. The bulk of the district is older Class C: small apartment buildings, fourplexes, and bungalow-style units with independent ownership, where an on-site manager has real discretion over a complicated file. Non-conventional inventory, duplexes and converted commercial space, makes up a proportionally larger share than in most San Antonio submarkets. CPS Energy bills most units directly; street parking is standard, and in-unit amenities thin out sharply below Class B. Green Line construction on San Pedro Avenue is actively disrupting traffic patterns through the neighborhood as of mid-2026, and that is a live factor for any renter commuting by car or on foot.
Why building age matters to your application
About 18% of San Antonio's rental stock, roughly 47,352 units, was built between 1980 and 1989. That older Class B and C product is where an on-site manager still makes case-by-case decisions on a complicated file. Newer Class A generally runs a software rule with a hard floor. If your file carries a credit, rental history or background complication, the age profile of a submarket predicts your odds better than its reputation does.
How we handle specific communities in Five Points
Five Points rental inventory, particularly the smaller Class C and non-conventional apartments, often does not appear on major listing platforms like Zillow or Apartments.com. San Antonio Apartment Locators tracks available apartments across the tier stack in our Screening and Cost Index, with particular attention to which independent owners review property debt and broken leases case-by-case and what deposit or documentation that requires. We confirm availability, pet policies, and screening standards directly before passing the list to you, rather than posting a roster that goes stale.
We publish aggregates rather than a public property list for one reason: a named list with a credit minimum attached goes stale within weeks, and a stale screening number is worse than no number. Every community entry we hand you carries the date it was last confirmed and who confirmed it. That is the standard our San Antonio apartment locators hold across every submarket in Bexar County, and it stays free to you.

Properties that will review your file, each with base rent, the mandatory fee stack, current concession, net effective rent and a confirmation date.
We advocate through application and lease
We flag your file to the leasing office ahead of the application, follow up during review, and handle a remote application and lease signing if you are moving from out of town.

Why Five Points renters choose us
We publish the screening numbers
The rent range, commute times and class mix on this page are not behind a form. Check any other San Antonio locator site and see whether you can find the same thing for this submarket.
We pre-qualify before you pay anything
Your file gets checked against a property's current standards before you submit a non-refundable application fee. If it will not clear, we say so and route you somewhere it will.
We talk to leasing offices weekly
That is how we know which Five Points properties just dropped a credit minimum, which concessions never hit a listing site, and which on-site managers genuinely review a complicated file.
Free to you, and we explain how
The community pays a referral fee out of the budget it would otherwise spend on listing-site advertising. No cash-back gimmick, no fee to you, no charge if you never lease.

"They ran my file first and told me straight which properties would look at a broken lease with a balance still owed. No wasted application fees."

"They showed me the full monthly cost, valet trash, RUBS, the tech fee, not just the sticker rent. The 'cheaper' unit was actually more expensive."

Five Points: your questions
What is Five Points in San Antonio?
Five Points is the convergence of Fredericksburg Road, San Pedro Avenue, and North Flores Street north of downtown San Antonio. The name comes from the multi-way intersection where the three arterials meet. The district borders Tobin Hill to the east, Monte Vista to the north, and Beacon Hill to the northwest, with Camden and Grayson streets running through the core.
Who tends to rent in Five Points?
Downtown and Pearl workers, service industry employees, creatives, and students at San Antonio College account for most of the demand. The short surface-street commute to the Downtown employment core and the Pearl district is the practical draw. The tier stack, from newer infill to older Class C and non-conventional stock, is broad enough to serve renters across a wide range of budgets and screening profiles.
Can I rent in Five Points with a complicated file?
The Class C and non-conventional tier here includes a meaningful share of independently owned properties where an on-site manager reviews a file directly. That is a different process from a software cutoff with a hard credit floor. Age and balance of a prior incident drive the conversation more than the label. Clients should pull their own Bexar County JP record before applying. We run the intake first and show you which properties match your file before you spend a non-refundable application fee.
What is the Green Line, and does it affect renting here?
The Green Line is a VIA Metropolitan Transit rapid transit route with its corridor along San Pedro Avenue running directly through the district. Construction is active as of mid-2026 and is disrupting traffic and street access through the neighborhood. Service is projected for 2028. For anyone signing a lease now, the construction is an honest near-term caveat; the transit upgrade when the line opens is a concrete long-term benefit. VIA bus service on San Pedro Avenue, Fredericksburg Road, and North Flores already provides one of the better existing bus networks in the city.
How close is San Antonio College?
San Antonio College sits on San Pedro Avenue roughly a mile north of the Five Points intersection. It is a realistic bicycle or VIA bus ride from most addresses in the district, and it anchors demand for the studio and one-bedroom stock in the area. The college feeds steady tenant turnover into the smaller fourplex and duplex layer, which keeps that tier more active than similar inner-city product elsewhere in the city.
What does a one-bedroom cost in this area?
Across the apartments we track in Five Points, one-bedrooms run roughly $950 to $1,250 as of July 2026. The San Antonio metro one-bedroom average is $1,095 (RentCafe, July 2026). Older Class C fourplex stock here comes in at or below the city average while newer infill sits at the top of the band. Add 7-15% for the mandatory fee stack - valet trash, pest, RUBS water and sewer, and admin fees - to get the true monthly cost. The spread is driven by building age and finish level, not sub-block location within the district.
Is there a free apartment locator near Five Points?
San Antonio Apartment Locators covers Five Points and the surrounding near-north corridor, including the Tobin Hill edge, Monte Vista edge, and the Fredericksburg Road and San Pedro Avenue corridors. Same-day response during posted hours, Monday to Friday 9 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM. The service is free to renters - the community pays a referral fee.
Do Five Points apartments allow pets?
Pet policies vary widely across the tier stack here. Newer managed properties typically allow cats and small dogs with a pet deposit or monthly pet rent. Older independently owned fourplexes and duplexes set their own rules - some allow pets with no extra fee, others prohibit them entirely. We check pet policies along with screening standards for every property on your list so you do not find out after paying a non-refundable application fee.
Can I rent in Five Points on $2,000 a month income?
At a 3x income requirement, $2,000 monthly income qualifies you for apartments up to about $665 in base rent. That is below the typical Five Points range, but some Class C and non-conventional properties with independent ownership run a lower income multiple or review case-by-case. Deposit alternatives and guarantors through providers like Insurent or The Guarantors can sometimes offset an income gap. Start with the intake form and we will show you what is realistically available for your file and budget.

Central San Antonio
San Antonio Apartment Locators serves the urban core - Downtown, the Pearl, Southtown, King William and the Tobin Hill edge along Broadway. Central holds one of only two real high-rise concentrations in Bexar County, with new podium towers sitting next to 1920s mill and warehouse conversions near the River Walk, so two apartments a block apart can price and screen very differently.
See the numbersAlamo Heights & North Central
San Antonio Apartment Locators serves the Alamo Heights, Castle Hills, Shavano Park and Hollywood Park municipalities inside Bexar County - and the boundaries matter more than they sound. Each sits in a different school district (Alamo Heights ISD, North East ISD, Northside ISD), which shifts rent by unit type within a two-mile radius.
See the numbersSouth Texas Medical Center
San Antonio Apartment Locators serves the South Texas Medical Center corridor along Fredericksburg Road, Wurzbach and Huebner - the submarket shaped by Methodist Healthcare, Baptist Health System, University Health and UT Health San Antonio. Shift work drives the search here: renters ask about drive time at 5 AM and 7 PM on Floyd Curl Drive, not at rush hour, and about lease terms that match a 13-week travel contract or a residency rotation rather than a calendar year.
