The [total monthly price](https://centro.multisites.ai/glossary/total-monthly-price) is what you pay each month after all charges, so ask for a [rent quote](https://centro.multisites.ai/glossary/rent-quote) in writing. ## Why does the straight-line distance differ from the walk? A straight line ignores roads, fences and highways. The route you walk or drive must follow streets. Between Centro and the campus, the I-35 frontage road forces a longer path, which is why 0.6 miles in a straight line becomes 1.2 miles on foot. This is common in Austin. Always ask which basis a distance uses: straight line, by road or on foot. A listing that says “close to campus” without a basis does not tell you how long the trip takes. We name the basis for every number on this page so you can compare it with what other listings say. ## What should I check before I rely on the campus distance? Walk the route once, open the CapMetro trip planner for your hours, and compare the measured numbers on this page with your own test. Distances here come from public map data, and times come from routing tools, not from a promise by Centro. Ask the leasing office about parking, the bus stop nearest your door, and which home is open on your move-in date. Use the [tour checklist](https://centro.multisites.ai/guides/apartment-tour-checklist) to keep your questions in one place. Centro is in ZIP code 78752, and the [78752 glossary entry](https://centro.multisites.ai/glossary/zip-code-78752) explains the area. Centro Studio Homes is an Equal Housing Opportunity community. This page describes places, prices and distances only. ## Next step [Book a tour](https://centro.multisites.ai/scheduletour) to see the home and walk the route yourself, or call (737) 317-8369 to ask which homes are open today. ## Questions renters ask How far is Centro Studio Homes from ACC Highland?
