What $995/Mo Gets You in Downtown Temple Right Now

When apartment headlines promise “unbeatable” or “incredible” rents, they usually mean a unit two exits away with a twelve-month lease and an app fee on top.

Hawn Plaza’s current featured immediate availability is more concrete than that. There are actual unit numbers, actual promotional rates, and actual inclusions. This post lays out exactly what’s available so you can compare against whatever else you’re looking at in Temple.

Featured Units: Tower and West

Hawn Tower

  • Unit 1401, 1501, 1601, 1701
  • Promotional rent: $995/mo
  • Regular rent: $1,300/mo
  • Savings: $305/month

Hawn West

  • Unit 1201
    • Promotional rent: $1,450/mo
    • Regular rent: $1,800/mo
    • Savings: $350/month
  • Unit 1202
    • Promotional rent: $1,500/mo
    • Regular rent: $1,800/mo
    • Savings: $300/month

What’s Included

Each of these units includes:

  • Brand-new modern appliances
  • High-efficiency, in-unit washer & dryer
  • Newly remodeled interiors from floor to ceiling

That last point matters. Some discounted units are “priced to move because…” with dated kitchens or mismatched finishes. These are finished upgrades, not clearance inventory.

How the Specials Stack

On top of those promotional rents, current incentives include:

  • 48-hour look-and-lease: one month free + $250 credit after tour, application, approval, and on-the-spot signing
  • $99 guarded deposit on select units
  • Waived application fee with qualifying lease
  • Active first responder and BSW employee additional discounts — ask in person
  • Flexible lease terms to line up your move date

For unit 1401 at $995/mo, the 48-hour deal effectively brings your first-month cost well below market for a downtown Temple apartment.

Who This Pricing Fits Best

At $995/mo in Hawn Tower, you’re looking at:

  • Temple healthcare workers commuting to Baylor Scott & White
  • downtown office and service employees
  • first responders with additional discounts
  • new-to-Temple renters who want a central address without paying for a newer build

At $1,450–$1,500/mo in Hawn West, you’re looking at:

  • singles or couples wanting a full 1-bedroom with modern finishes
  • professionals prioritizing updated kitchens and in-unit laundry
  • anyone who values walkability over square footage

The $500 Referral Bonus

If you’re already a resident, Hawn Plaza is also running a $500 referral bonus for current tenants who send qualified leads. That’s rare for this rent bracket and worth acting on if you have coworkers or friends looking.

What to Do Next

The promotional units listed above are marked as immediate availability, but availability changes fast. The leasing office locks in pricing once the tour is confirmed and the application is submitted.
