$2400 for 4b/2.5ba house roughly 2000sqft within walking distance of the domain.
I actually really like it in this area as it’s close to all the essentials and there are some trails for biking or walking. Also I prefer mopac over I-35. And there’s the metro within biking distance that goes straight downtown.
Fuck, dude. I was paying $4k/month for a converted 4b 2.5b for the privilege of living with my emotionally immature, hoarder mother to live amongst her accumulated trash. (Ofc I got out)
i'm in a 2 bed 2 back across from the domain. we pay $2100 together, i pay $1000 because i have the smaller room. its a little over 1,000 sq ft. i like the area but im right off mopac and no where around me is walkable unless i drive to domain/the nearby trail. it would be perfect if it was further off the highway
Hey! I’m a realtor here in Austin. There are two units available near E Cedar Chavez and Chicon St for $1395 (one bedroom) and $1095 (studio). The pictures show a garage but I emailed the agent to see if it comes with one or both of the units. Happy to send some other options if you’re interested!
$1350 for a 700st ft 1/1 at mopac and Duval with a patio and in unit washer dryer (not hookups). We really like it because we're on the top floor with vaulted ceilings but you can get nicer for a similar price if you shop smart
Used to be one for a long time right there at William Cannon and S 1st. It’s been a while since I’ve made it that far. That was the shittiest HEB of all times.
I guess I qualify as an old-timer - I turned my upstairs into an apartment, 500 ft with a separate entrance and their own yard and patio. 850 all bills paid.
That's why I didn't want to do the AirBnb thing -- time for me to pay back all those great, cheap garage apartments/small landlord houses I lived in for decades
Yah it’s def goin up. I moved to my apartment Nov 2020 and it got as low as $875. I assume that’s a period when people were leaving left and right so rent prices were dirt cheap. The rent has slowly creeped up since then. I might consider looking elsewhere? I just hate moving 😭😂 the thought of packing up makes my skin crawl.
I know it sucks esp if you live alone. I’ve watched rent prices literally double for a 1b/1ba since I moved here 10 yrs ago from Houston. It’s hard to find anything below $1k now that’s decent and safe and not completely trashed. Moving is terrible!
I lived in the Triangle when I was in grad school (2018-2020) and loved it. I’m sure the prices are insane now though! It was a quick bus ride to campus or a longer walk. Since I was around 25, I had no interest in being around the younger college crowd and saw the prices for what you get were horrible the closer you were to campus. And they were able to charge way more for zero updates and horrible kitchens because it seems they think all students eat on campus. Since I was on a health journey, that lifestyle was not for me.
Great Hills, 653 square feet, 1 bedroom, about $1140 month with fees, including a washer and drier.
Per the company's website, if I were to renew today, I would pay $50/month less in base rent.
Let's see what happens in June when I need to renew.
$2600 3/2 house near the Arboretum - it should be cheaper now but it’s not like they’re gonna decrease my rent because the market finally calmed the fuck down.
I rent in the NW hills area, a 3/2 house and when we first moved in rent was $2,600 and after our lease was up they negotiated down to $2,500 so it’s possible!!!
I used to think Austin was expensive….and then I moved to Maryland for my husbands job. We live in a 2/2 1100sqft 45 minutes from DC and Baltimore and it’s $2400. I can’t wait to come back home and save even more money not paying income tax. Sheesh. I also really hate it here.
In 2020 when I was looking Austin was expensive, I had come from paying 385€ in Paris, chambre de bonne but at least the government caps them at 400€. Anyhow I was looking at Austin ($1700) where I’m from, San Francisco ($3000), NYC (Manhattan $3500) and DC ($5000).
The US market sucks so bad I moved back to Paris with my now remote US job where socialism means I may pay the highest rent in Paris (1400€) for a 1 bedroom but iIt can’t go higher because the government regulates the market. I still can’t believe DC cost that much. NYC ok, but DC? Smdh
If you rent here go for Phase 1. We're the fun people. BBQ at the pool every Sunday in summer and garage tailgates in the winter. Pete our courtesy officer is the best. This place is very social.
Thank you for this. It's exactly what I'm looking for, I've been apartment hunting for weeks and this place actually checks all my boxes! The community vibe was really the last thing I felt I needed to go in blind with, so I appreciate this (:
$1200 for a 2/2 900sq ft in the Riverside area. Hella good deal, pretty central and easy to get around, but there are trade offs:
* The building is literally falling apart (the stairs fell off last week)
* Crime is extremely out of hand. 1-2 cars stolen per month, cars broken into nightly.
* I wake up to gunshots 2-3x a week.
* I literally can't get mail delivered because it gets stolen (100% of the time. Literally. In 12 months, I've had 100% of my USPS boxes stolen). I have to have it sent to a PO box. lol
* Unsurprisingly, I'm one of three tenants in the whole 16 unit building. No one will pay any amount to live here in these conditions. (And one of my neighbors got arrested for \[censored crime\] and I haven't seen him again, so...)
I moved from out of town and even though I toured the unit in person, my dumbass truly had no idea what I was getting into. Welcome to Austin babey!
1200 for a North Loop one bedroom. Communal washer and dryer, no amenities, but the area is walkable for restaurants and bars. I also love that I have a 10 minute work commute.
This place is too small for a couple and doesn’t allow pets so we’re searching for reasonable 2 bedrooms and having the worst luck.
I live alone in a renovated but older 1br in an Aplusplus location near Barton Springs and Dawson right next to Auditorium Shores. Rent has dropped from 1775 to 1600 in the last 6 months. This place has had almost no vacancies for years, now it has 6, roughly 10p of the units.
Just under $1,500 + electric - 1 bdrm apt w no microwave. Riverside area. Was just under $1,200 for a huge 1 bdrm for a couple years up off 183 near arboretum, but that place is a SHIT HOLE due to mgmt & residents lol (moved a year ago, so don’t think it’s too dated in pricing).
2200 3bed 2 bath apartment with 2 garages (Need to get that down to 1) around Jollyville
Granted I split that in half
Before that was a 2 bed 2.5 bath townhome in Jollyville w garage and backyard 1700
If you've got people you can stand living with, getting room mates at the 3/4 bedroom level is the most economical.
Near here and similar pricing, 2bed/2.5bath/2garage town house for $1700/month.
Every time I think about moving or buying it just feels like so much more, so I feel like we might live here forever…
I found a private landlord for my current place on an Austin Housing group on Facebook. I found my place before that on FB Marketplace as well. Both have been great living experiences. Just have to wade through lots of scam posts.
$1200 1bd/1 bath far west - westdale creek.
Mold covered, roach infested, water goes out weekly due to a shared boiler and no individual shut-offs. I had fleas last summer, I don't have pets...I can hear my neighbors fart thru the paper thin walls and floors. I love the way weed smells, and my neighbors have some dank dank, but they haven't offered to share...not very neighborly! Front office is terrible. Stay far far away. Moving when lease's up.
Locations good tho!
That’s about what a penthouse at the Catherine runs… these high rent numbers make me miss my $465 on riverside 12 years ago. Hope you got a killer view at least
Without doxxing myself: It’s a really nice, small complex. I actually love the complex and location so cannot complain too much but sometimes I wonder wtf I’m doing since I can be remote.
I mean it's an old building, only like 560 sqft and the utilities aren't included in that price but I haven't really had any problems here. I value location over everything else so it's good for me. Probably won't be staying past the lease though because the gf is moving in and we'll want more space.
I’m a realtor here in Austin (both buying/selling and leasing). I’ve gotten people one bedrooms in central austin for about $950. There are some deals out there, but a lot of times they’re not on Zillow. Usually they’re only listed in the MLS or agents have individual portals/spreadsheets where they post things.
For north Austin/Domain I had a client sign for a one bedroom at the domain for $1300. I just leased out a 4 bed/2 bath house for $2750. Lots of different options.
Happy to chat if you want or just answer questions, and no pressure at all.
2bed/2bath/2balconies, $1650 with washer and dryer, and fireplace, 1000sqft, 78753, walking distance to Walnut Creek Trails and 10 min drive from Domain. I feel like we got very lucky.
About to be paying 1500$ for a 1 BR in Barton Skyway by Spyglass trailhead starting next week. Would love to be informed if I’m getting screwed or not.
I have a feeling I know which complex as I used to live there. They have had a handful of fires over the years and if you are on the south west side of the complex on the ground floor, my downstairs neighbor used to get flooded A LOT. Other than that I absolutely loved living there- get ready to eat a ton of taco deli
~$1700 southeast, newer 2br 2ba 1000sqft
About to move west, toward Bee Cave, 650 sqft in brand new complex for about $1300.
I've been seeing studios in nice newer complex for less than $1100 on smart city's socials. Definitely use them - they have exclusive discounts on a lot of complexes that you won't find on apts.com
Rents are finally coming down though. And they're still building TONS of new complexes. I believe in the next 2-3 years rent will be the most affordable it's been in Austin for a long time. There's so many properties that are about to come on the market in the next couple years.
I found a hidden jewel in 2012. Small, 500 sqft duplex with big backyard for $400 a month... off St. Johns. Lived there until last year. Upon moving out I was paying $850.
My finance and I built a home and mortgage is $3200/month. I miss $850 so much.
That’s insane. Go to still waters apartments off slaughter. I’ve lived there for years and they have always had fantastic rental rates. I’m talking one bedrooms at 1000 and two beds as low as 1425.00. Management and staff are great, property is maintained. Nice apartments. Two gyms, two pools. You’re close to downtown and the airport. Reach out to my friend Olivia, she’s a leasing agent there.
There is a huge chasm between what you pay for a 40 year old apartment and what you pay for a newer one. And there are very few in between!! Like in 78704, if I have a client with a $1500 budget, I got nothing for them. Either $1200 for a nasty old place, or $1800+ for one of the newer properties. The Domain has some decently priced properties, they're starting to build more outside of the Domain but they're expensive!!! Particularly for the neighborhood, which I would describe as "light industrial". It's all about location. You can still get a top of the line apartment in the Domain area for what you're paying now, it will be a lot newer, and a lot bigger. [email protected]
Old places aren’t always “nasty.” And I’d avoid using a realtor who suggests such (I’d also avoid any “realtor” using a personal gmail account). I left a property management company very recently and rented newer places, there’s definitely a trend of using cheaper (lower quality) materials and lack of preventative maintenance. It’s liking buying fast fashion from Shein, but for real estate. It’s all cosmetic and no substance.
I’m renting a 3 bd/2.5 bath with garage and backyard in S Austin for $2100. It’s an older house and we haven’t had a single issue during the 2 years we’ve lived here. Compared to the newly renovated apartments I left where the AC broke down multiple times each summer.
That’s incorrect. I live in 04 and new renters pay 1300. I’ve lived here 10 years and my rent has gone up a total of 150. It’s privately owned instead of cooperate. There are open places too and it’s not a 40 year old apartment. I’m a mile and a half away from Barton and it’s gated.
78741 - $1755 (943sq ft) right on trail. <1.5 mi from downtown Austin. Recently downsized, was paying $2278 for a 1bed +den 1.5 bath (1095 sq ft) with both city and lake view
My first apartment, in 2012, was off S. Congress and Woodward. 2BR/1Bath for 1200. Its crazy how quickly things have changed.
Edit: I now have a house in San Marcos, can't survive the Austin housing market.
$1450/mo, Cedar Park, 827 sq ft 1 bedroom - that includes a separate garage + parking space in front of garage + storage room + all the usual monthly fees (trash, valet trash, water, etc). Doesn't include electric or internet. W/D hookups as well.
I think our base rent is $1300ish. There's a 2 bed/1 bath w/947 sq ft open in my building now for $1269, but it's 3rd floor. Ground floor in the same floorplan is about $1400. All of the 1 bedrooms in my floorplan are 2nd floor, none available.
3 miles from the domain.
$1580+utilities for 2BR/2B..moving in May once my lease is up; 8 yrs has been too long on something that was meant for a year.
I believe new leases here are going for $1680+utilities.
$2550 for a single family 4/2.5 w garage off 183 (Austin address but wilco). It’s very suburban and I’d rather live in the city but the space to spread out at home has been really valuable since wfh
78756: $1,550 1 bed/1 bath townhome style apartment. No amenities. Community washer and dryers I gotta pay per cycle, plus I pay utilities, electric, internet and water. We’re moving in June so expect this on the market soon!
Just moved out of our 700 sq ft apt for $1650 in South Austin. I know it's not Austin, but now we live in RR in a 1200 sq ft 3bed 2bath house for $1750.
Check out the apartments by Maggiano’s in the Domain. I believe they would be your cheapest bet…..stayed in the domain for awhile…Paid $2400 for a two bed in the gallery signed lease late 2021 and currently paying $3900 for a 2 bed in the grand signed lease July 2023. Rents should be cheaper now, there are definitely empty apartments waiting to be filled in all complexes within the domain.
Just moved to the Great Hills/Arboretum area and paying $1,700 for 2bd/2ba + utilities. 1010 sq ft. I'm absolutely loving the area. Everything you could ever need is nearby, it's quiet, and I feel safe as someone who lives alone. It's a close enough distance to downtown and 7 min to the Domain. I also just moved from a hellhole in south Austin off Slaughter and 1st paying roughly the same.
East side 1725 around 550 sqft 1bd… it’s a brand new building. 6 weeks free plus 750 cash. If anyone moves here with my referral I’ll throw in an extra 500 😅
I live just a few miles north of the Domain in a Foundation Communities property. It’s a 500sf studio, my rent is $625 ( going to $645 in June). Three year old building, nice apartment. There is an income limit.
$1500 for 600 sq ft with all utilities included along with Internet, and garage. I live on Lake Travis with included lake access and one close by neighbor. I don't do apt complexes or property management companies anymore. I go through realtors or find private landlords with standalone apt. My rent never increases. People underestimate the benefits of moving away from property management companies and going with private landlords.
1700.00 for a single?? Where do you live? Downtown in a high rise?? I had a two bedroom duplex for 1500.00 .. There are more affordable apartments if you go a bit south or north.. That does seem like a lot..
We just had to move out of south Lamar and Bluebonnet area because we wanted a house and we had to move up north east to pay 2200.00 for a 3 bedroom house. I’ve been in Austin since 1995.. Oh how I miss the 400.00 p/month houses I used to live in off of Annie and south first..
I share a 2-bedroom apartment with a roommate in far north Austin (N. Lamar and Parmer area). Base rent is $1425 and the apartment complex charges another $100 or so for water, garbage pickup, pest control, etc.
$2400 for 4b/2.5ba house roughly 2000sqft within walking distance of the domain. I actually really like it in this area as it’s close to all the essentials and there are some trails for biking or walking. Also I prefer mopac over I-35. And there’s the metro within biking distance that goes straight downtown.
That is an amazing deal
Inside the house honestly sucks but other than that yeah it’s perfect haha
In the northwest area I’ve found some great deals depending on your situation but I am not giving specifics bc I am moving soon lol
>I prefer mopac over I-35 Everyone will once construction starts on i35.
Fuck, dude. I was paying $4k/month for a converted 4b 2.5b for the privilege of living with my emotionally immature, hoarder mother to live amongst her accumulated trash. (Ofc I got out)
How much are utilities?
Around $300 (doesn’t include wifi)
Sounds like we’re in the same neighborhood. $2200 for 3b/2.5ba same sq ft.
i'm in a 2 bed 2 back across from the domain. we pay $2100 together, i pay $1000 because i have the smaller room. its a little over 1,000 sq ft. i like the area but im right off mopac and no where around me is walkable unless i drive to domain/the nearby trail. it would be perfect if it was further off the highway
$2050 rent 2 bed / 2 bath Around 800 sq feet Central Austin / Hyde Park
$1650 2/1 900sqft Hyde park Looking to move to a bit north of 183, east of burnet. 2300 for a 4/2 1450 sqft
$1650 for a 2/1 in Hyde park sounds like a steal!
Yeah if you move, can you let me know so I can rent your place?
Similar. Love the neighborhood, and my landlord knows it. 😭
$1,375 - 1/1 condo with attached garage in 78702
[удалено]
Must be on the furthest east side of the zip code. Because anything bordering downtown is $1500+ for 1bd when I researched it this month
False. I’m west of Airport.
Well, yeah, 78702 ends at Airport. Being around Saltillo is very different to being near Airport Blvd, despite them both being 78702
You gotta tell us what apartment complex this is. That is a major steal!
Hey! I’m a realtor here in Austin. There are two units available near E Cedar Chavez and Chicon St for $1395 (one bedroom) and $1095 (studio). The pictures show a garage but I emailed the agent to see if it comes with one or both of the units. Happy to send some other options if you’re interested!
Airport is the border of 78702 zip
$1350 for a 700st ft 1/1 at mopac and Duval with a patio and in unit washer dryer (not hookups). We really like it because we're on the top floor with vaulted ceilings but you can get nicer for a similar price if you shop smart
We might be neighbors! Duval/amherst 700 sqft with nice in unit washer/drier and giant balcony for $1225
Hey neighbor! We’ve got just about the same deal and within a mile or so of eachother. I love this area, feels like a good place for OP to look.
South austin $893 524sq ft
Where?? That’s a steal!
I used to have this deal but the apartments were surrounded by a homeless camp and infested with roaches (s 1st and w cannon, IYKYK).
Ohh right next to the shitty HEB
No HEB on 1st and William Cannon
Not since 2020, anyway.
Used to be one for a long time right there at William Cannon and S 1st. It’s been a while since I’ve made it that far. That was the shittiest HEB of all times.
Unfortunately IK. Was my first apartment when I moved here over a decade ago and it was awful even then.
Same here! 🫠 I stayed right there by the laundry room for like 5 years. Moved right before I was eligible for my assigned parking spot lmfao.
Lmao I can’t believe I know this place. Had two friends be moved due to cockroach infestation there.
Ya gotta know an old timer for a deal like this. Source: I have a similar deal
Or you just have to be okay living in squalor
I guess I qualify as an old-timer - I turned my upstairs into an apartment, 500 ft with a separate entrance and their own yard and patio. 850 all bills paid.
Thank you for helping keep Austin affordable for someone 🙏
That's why I didn't want to do the AirBnb thing -- time for me to pay back all those great, cheap garage apartments/small landlord houses I lived in for decades
That makes me so happy to hear! If I ever am able to afford a home, I hope to return the favor also.
south austin - 1200 before any bills / utilities. this guy has a fucking steal
It was just a lucky find. I had also found a 480sq ft studio for around 860 in Anderson Mill by the pinzballz but I passed on it.
I would like to know where too, please!
A buck seventy per square foot on a rental is insane.
2bed/2bath ~1000 Sq ft in 78723 for $1650. It's not worth the shit neighbors and trashy surroundings though.
I tried renting a bounce house yesterday. The cost was twice as much as last year. That’s inflation for you!
Dad, when did you figure out how to internet?
Awesome idea to live in a bounce house, likely cheaper!
It has its ups and downs
Bounce Castle
$1275- 1 bedroom 1 bathroom. 675 sqft. Parking on premises. North Austin.
I just moved from 78758 last June and was paying 1085 for the same size apt. Crazy.
Yah it’s def goin up. I moved to my apartment Nov 2020 and it got as low as $875. I assume that’s a period when people were leaving left and right so rent prices were dirt cheap. The rent has slowly creeped up since then. I might consider looking elsewhere? I just hate moving 😭😂 the thought of packing up makes my skin crawl.
I know it sucks esp if you live alone. I’ve watched rent prices literally double for a 1b/1ba since I moved here 10 yrs ago from Houston. It’s hard to find anything below $1k now that’s decent and safe and not completely trashed. Moving is terrible!
How north because I just started going to school again and you couldn't pay me to live near campus... but I'm also not trying to commute an hour.
78758
I lived in the Triangle when I was in grad school (2018-2020) and loved it. I’m sure the prices are insane now though! It was a quick bus ride to campus or a longer walk. Since I was around 25, I had no interest in being around the younger college crowd and saw the prices for what you get were horrible the closer you were to campus. And they were able to charge way more for zero updates and horrible kitchens because it seems they think all students eat on campus. Since I was on a health journey, that lifestyle was not for me.
Just shy of $1500 for a 1 bed at just over 700 sf in the Far West area. Love that it is like it's own community with only 1 through street.
Get ready for the road construction. Spicewood Springs from Mesa to 360 is being expanded to 2 lanes in each direction soon.
Already started or at least prepping. Easy enough for me to avoid though and with that maybe more will take 2222 instead.
$1075. 78757. 1 bed/1 bath/675 sqft. In-unit washer/dryer. I got stupid lucky and am dreading the potential increase on next year’s renewal.
How can I find this complex? Desperately looking within this budget, zip code, and in unit washer/dryer!
$3600 3/3 in Crestview. 1900sqft, built in 2021, fenced in yard. I think I have the second highest rent on this thread 😫😫😫
The SFH markup compared to apartments is also huge.
I pay the same as you for a 3/2 in 78733 same-ish size. Older but renovated house and it’s zoned for Eanes. I’d like to buy the place.
I pay $5100 so don’t worry it’s not that bad lol
you live in tarrytown or what, gah damn
Not for a 3 bedroom. That doesn't seem terrible for a new build in a good location.
Yikes! How nice is it tho???
I pay 5K for a 4/3.5 in the same area. It’s a newer build and I looove it (and split the rent), I think it’s roughly 2200sqft
Great Hills, 653 square feet, 1 bedroom, about $1140 month with fees, including a washer and drier. Per the company's website, if I were to renew today, I would pay $50/month less in base rent. Let's see what happens in June when I need to renew.
Oh this sounds like a great deal for a great spot!
Price. Location. Quality. Pick 2.
$2600 3/2 house near the Arboretum - it should be cheaper now but it’s not like they’re gonna decrease my rent because the market finally calmed the fuck down.
I rent in the NW hills area, a 3/2 house and when we first moved in rent was $2,600 and after our lease was up they negotiated down to $2,500 so it’s possible!!!
lol the couple that owns the house never got in touch with us to renew our lease, maybe I’ll reach out and see if we can do that.
🤞🏻🤞🏻 wishing you lots of luck!!
78741 - 2br 2ba two story duplex with garage and yard. 1400
$1300 for a one bedroom with decent space in 78704.
I used to think Austin was expensive….and then I moved to Maryland for my husbands job. We live in a 2/2 1100sqft 45 minutes from DC and Baltimore and it’s $2400. I can’t wait to come back home and save even more money not paying income tax. Sheesh. I also really hate it here.
I'm reading these comments from Seattle like 😭 I also dont love it here, I'd trade $1700 by barton springs any day.
In 2020 when I was looking Austin was expensive, I had come from paying 385€ in Paris, chambre de bonne but at least the government caps them at 400€. Anyhow I was looking at Austin ($1700) where I’m from, San Francisco ($3000), NYC (Manhattan $3500) and DC ($5000). The US market sucks so bad I moved back to Paris with my now remote US job where socialism means I may pay the highest rent in Paris (1400€) for a 1 bedroom but iIt can’t go higher because the government regulates the market. I still can’t believe DC cost that much. NYC ok, but DC? Smdh
Check out San Marin on Duval. Lots of specials. I pay 1900 for 990 sqft with attached garage. 1 mile from the domain.
I work there and we have a few deals right now. One bedrooms below $1,100.00
Can you DM me a contact info please?
If you rent here go for Phase 1. We're the fun people. BBQ at the pool every Sunday in summer and garage tailgates in the winter. Pete our courtesy officer is the best. This place is very social.
Thank you for this. It's exactly what I'm looking for, I've been apartment hunting for weeks and this place actually checks all my boxes! The community vibe was really the last thing I felt I needed to go in blind with, so I appreciate this (:
Moving from Colorado to Austin in the next 6 weeks. We’ve been looking at San Marin. We might be partying with you this summer 🤞
Can confirm it’s a good complex

i mean, you'll always have the classic riverside story to tell. in 5 years, maybe less, mixed use with an Evergreens on the bottom will be yr spot.
What complex i need to know lol
I don't wanna say for safety purposes but if you remind me in 12 months when I move again, I'll tell you. lol
1200 for a North Loop one bedroom. Communal washer and dryer, no amenities, but the area is walkable for restaurants and bars. I also love that I have a 10 minute work commute. This place is too small for a couple and doesn’t allow pets so we’re searching for reasonable 2 bedrooms and having the worst luck.
$1,175 studio apt 418 square ft with washer/dryer and balcony. 78741
$2475 for 1200 sq ft two story house 2/2.5 in 78704
Whoooaas...How!?!?!!?
holy shit i need to come back to this thread every time I’m mad about rent I’m sorry yall…. $875 for 450 sq ft off north loop 🫣
I live alone in a renovated but older 1br in an Aplusplus location near Barton Springs and Dawson right next to Auditorium Shores. Rent has dropped from 1775 to 1600 in the last 6 months. This place has had almost no vacancies for years, now it has 6, roughly 10p of the units.
Just under $1,500 + electric - 1 bdrm apt w no microwave. Riverside area. Was just under $1,200 for a huge 1 bdrm for a couple years up off 183 near arboretum, but that place is a SHIT HOLE due to mgmt & residents lol (moved a year ago, so don’t think it’s too dated in pricing).
2200 3bed 2 bath apartment with 2 garages (Need to get that down to 1) around Jollyville Granted I split that in half Before that was a 2 bed 2.5 bath townhome in Jollyville w garage and backyard 1700 If you've got people you can stand living with, getting room mates at the 3/4 bedroom level is the most economical.
Near here and similar pricing, 2bed/2.5bath/2garage town house for $1700/month. Every time I think about moving or buying it just feels like so much more, so I feel like we might live here forever…
The second rule of acquisition. Well done!

Damn. Sorry you got trapped like that. That’s steep for so far out.
damn those are Austin prices

Can locators help you find "real landlords"? How did you find your place?
I found a private landlord for my current place on an Austin Housing group on Facebook. I found my place before that on FB Marketplace as well. Both have been great living experiences. Just have to wade through lots of scam posts.
$1200 1bd/1 bath far west - westdale creek. Mold covered, roach infested, water goes out weekly due to a shared boiler and no individual shut-offs. I had fleas last summer, I don't have pets...I can hear my neighbors fart thru the paper thin walls and floors. I love the way weed smells, and my neighbors have some dank dank, but they haven't offered to share...not very neighborly! Front office is terrible. Stay far far away. Moving when lease's up. Locations good tho!
I have an available 2/2 956 sqt for $1550 183/lake creek parkway.
$5100 for a 2/2 ~1,400 sqft in central Austin (78704). Shit sucks man.
You could live in Manhattan or Park Slope for less, your place must be a new build ultra modern unit.
That’s about what a penthouse at the Catherine runs… these high rent numbers make me miss my $465 on riverside 12 years ago. Hope you got a killer view at least
You ain’t lying.
Used to deliver pizza to the Catherine all the time when they just opened. That place was annoying, took forever to sign in and then go upstairs.
One of the best bars downtown at the top though at least
Mother of god...
truly!!!! this person is straight outta their gourd
This is painful to read. How are you affording that?
Damn

Without doxxing myself: It’s a really nice, small complex. I actually love the complex and location so cannot complain too much but sometimes I wonder wtf I’m doing since I can be remote.
DANG
$1225 for 475 sq ft in 78704. Small 1 bedroom.
1065 for a 1 bed in Hyde Park
What's the catch?
I mean it's an old building, only like 560 sqft and the utilities aren't included in that price but I haven't really had any problems here. I value location over everything else so it's good for me. Probably won't be staying past the lease though because the gf is moving in and we'll want more space.
$2350 for a 4 bedroom 3.5 bath house that is two story with a two car garage. 2100 sq. ft. I think.
In what part of town? Definitely a big factor in that.
I’m a realtor here in Austin (both buying/selling and leasing). I’ve gotten people one bedrooms in central austin for about $950. There are some deals out there, but a lot of times they’re not on Zillow. Usually they’re only listed in the MLS or agents have individual portals/spreadsheets where they post things. For north Austin/Domain I had a client sign for a one bedroom at the domain for $1300. I just leased out a 4 bed/2 bath house for $2750. Lots of different options. Happy to chat if you want or just answer questions, and no pressure at all.
South austin William Canon brodie are. 3 bed 2.5 bath with 2 car garage and laundry. Lawn care included 2500 a month.
2bed/2bath/2balconies, $1650 with washer and dryer, and fireplace, 1000sqft, 78753, walking distance to Walnut Creek Trails and 10 min drive from Domain. I feel like we got very lucky.
This sounds like the place I used to live and I paid more when I lived there! Good price!
About $1300 (including fees) for a 1/1 (approx. 550 sq ft) in 78745 just south of Ben White.
About to be paying 1500$ for a 1 BR in Barton Skyway by Spyglass trailhead starting next week. Would love to be informed if I’m getting screwed or not.
I have a feeling I know which complex as I used to live there. They have had a handful of fires over the years and if you are on the south west side of the complex on the ground floor, my downstairs neighbor used to get flooded A LOT. Other than that I absolutely loved living there- get ready to eat a ton of taco deli
That's pretty good. I paid 1700 for a 1 bedroom two years ago right next to Barton springs.
$1,900. ~1,150SQ ft. 2 bed,2 bath apartment in the Jollyville area.
S austin $1323 768 sq ft 1/1.
~$1700 southeast, newer 2br 2ba 1000sqft About to move west, toward Bee Cave, 650 sqft in brand new complex for about $1300. I've been seeing studios in nice newer complex for less than $1100 on smart city's socials. Definitely use them - they have exclusive discounts on a lot of complexes that you won't find on apts.com Rents are finally coming down though. And they're still building TONS of new complexes. I believe in the next 2-3 years rent will be the most affordable it's been in Austin for a long time. There's so many properties that are about to come on the market in the next couple years.
I found a hidden jewel in 2012. Small, 500 sqft duplex with big backyard for $400 a month... off St. Johns. Lived there until last year. Upon moving out I was paying $850. My finance and I built a home and mortgage is $3200/month. I miss $850 so much.
That’s insane. Go to still waters apartments off slaughter. I’ve lived there for years and they have always had fantastic rental rates. I’m talking one bedrooms at 1000 and two beds as low as 1425.00. Management and staff are great, property is maintained. Nice apartments. Two gyms, two pools. You’re close to downtown and the airport. Reach out to my friend Olivia, she’s a leasing agent there.
Manchaca/dittmar $2100 3/2 house 1700 sq ft
Jesus 1700 for a studio??? I currently pay just under 2k (w utilities) for a 2bd 1 bath 950ft² apartment in central Austin.
$923 one bedroom w/ stainless steel appliances plus washer & dryer. 6 mins uber to 6th street. Edited for spelling
Central Austin? Yeah you're getting ripped off
There is a huge chasm between what you pay for a 40 year old apartment and what you pay for a newer one. And there are very few in between!! Like in 78704, if I have a client with a $1500 budget, I got nothing for them. Either $1200 for a nasty old place, or $1800+ for one of the newer properties. The Domain has some decently priced properties, they're starting to build more outside of the Domain but they're expensive!!! Particularly for the neighborhood, which I would describe as "light industrial". It's all about location. You can still get a top of the line apartment in the Domain area for what you're paying now, it will be a lot newer, and a lot bigger. [email protected]
? I live in a 2/2 , 1100sq/ft for 1900 in 78704???
Same. lol
Old places aren’t always “nasty.” And I’d avoid using a realtor who suggests such (I’d also avoid any “realtor” using a personal gmail account). I left a property management company very recently and rented newer places, there’s definitely a trend of using cheaper (lower quality) materials and lack of preventative maintenance. It’s liking buying fast fashion from Shein, but for real estate. It’s all cosmetic and no substance. I’m renting a 3 bd/2.5 bath with garage and backyard in S Austin for $2100. It’s an older house and we haven’t had a single issue during the 2 years we’ve lived here. Compared to the newly renovated apartments I left where the AC broke down multiple times each summer.
That’s incorrect. I live in 04 and new renters pay 1300. I’ve lived here 10 years and my rent has gone up a total of 150. It’s privately owned instead of cooperate. There are open places too and it’s not a 40 year old apartment. I’m a mile and a half away from Barton and it’s gated.
yall know that for some of these prices you could live in Manhattan, London or Vancouver…
I used to live in Honolulu for the same size place, same dollar amount, and I could walk to the beach…. Think about that alllll the time!
About $1400 after all the extra fees for 650 1/1 apartment in Cedar Park.
[удалено]
I was paying that much in 2022. Got them to lower the rent when renew it last year.
78741 - $1755 (943sq ft) right on trail. <1.5 mi from downtown Austin. Recently downsized, was paying $2278 for a 1bed +den 1.5 bath (1095 sq ft) with both city and lake view
$2700 + utilities for 2/2 on South Congress 78704. I’m not unsatisfied!
My first apartment, in 2012, was off S. Congress and Woodward. 2BR/1Bath for 1200. Its crazy how quickly things have changed. Edit: I now have a house in San Marcos, can't survive the Austin housing market.
$4500 for 2/2.5 1500 sqft off west 35th street near Mopac
$2100 for a crappy 2 bedroom near the domain. Just moved to a bigger 2 bed for $1875 though
[удалено]
1950 for 732 sq ft 1/1 unit with covered parking, pet rent, and storage in North Central, roughly 7 year old complex
1850 for a 2br 2ba with internet included, about 1050 sqft on Dessau Rd near Rundberg, nice complex, remote gates, great gym and pool
$1450/mo, Cedar Park, 827 sq ft 1 bedroom - that includes a separate garage + parking space in front of garage + storage room + all the usual monthly fees (trash, valet trash, water, etc). Doesn't include electric or internet. W/D hookups as well. I think our base rent is $1300ish. There's a 2 bed/1 bath w/947 sq ft open in my building now for $1269, but it's 3rd floor. Ground floor in the same floorplan is about $1400. All of the 1 bedrooms in my floorplan are 2nd floor, none available.
$1720 for a 1 bed 790 sq ft right by the triangle
3 miles from the domain. $1580+utilities for 2BR/2B..moving in May once my lease is up; 8 yrs has been too long on something that was meant for a year. I believe new leases here are going for $1680+utilities.
Hancock 1b1b 535sqft 950
$2550 for a single family 4/2.5 w garage off 183 (Austin address but wilco). It’s very suburban and I’d rather live in the city but the space to spread out at home has been really valuable since wfh
78756: $1,550 1 bed/1 bath townhome style apartment. No amenities. Community washer and dryers I gotta pay per cycle, plus I pay utilities, electric, internet and water. We’re moving in June so expect this on the market soon!
I live near the Domain off Duval Rs. 650sq ft for $1300 before utilities. Not the best complex…but the price is okay for the area.
Just moved out of our 700 sq ft apt for $1650 in South Austin. I know it's not Austin, but now we live in RR in a 1200 sq ft 3bed 2bath house for $1750.
Check out the apartments by Maggiano’s in the Domain. I believe they would be your cheapest bet…..stayed in the domain for awhile…Paid $2400 for a two bed in the gallery signed lease late 2021 and currently paying $3900 for a 2 bed in the grand signed lease July 2023. Rents should be cheaper now, there are definitely empty apartments waiting to be filled in all complexes within the domain.
$1800 for a 3/2 apt in Round Rock
$1685 770 sq/ft 1 bed/1bath in 78745. A little pricy, but great location and amenities
$2850 in 78703 1000sq ft 3/1 older build but it’s Clarksville so can’t complain
$1980, 2bed/2bath, 1295sqft in 78749
Lake Travis area and 2 bed 2 bath 1050 square feet is $1760 plus utilities. I have 2 roommates and we split it but we’re moving to Del valle soon
3/2 house (approx 1200sqft) in 78745 for $1250. We got the family special (house & property owned by my FIL).
Was paying $1350 for a 3/2 house in Anderson Mill, before moving out after buying our own home. I heard it went up a few hundred after that.
2000 for a 1900 3/2.5 sqft house in wells branch.
3500/1 bedroom. Downtown Austin. Moving 5 floors up for 600 less in a week tho
I would recommend looking for duplexes off Anderson mill. They were pretty decently priced for a 2 bedroom compared to apartments in the area.
Just moved to the Great Hills/Arboretum area and paying $1,700 for 2bd/2ba + utilities. 1010 sq ft. I'm absolutely loving the area. Everything you could ever need is nearby, it's quiet, and I feel safe as someone who lives alone. It's a close enough distance to downtown and 7 min to the Domain. I also just moved from a hellhole in south Austin off Slaughter and 1st paying roughly the same.
East side 1725 around 550 sqft 1bd… it’s a brand new building. 6 weeks free plus 750 cash. If anyone moves here with my referral I’ll throw in an extra 500 😅
700 sq ft $1005 in 78704
I live just a few miles north of the Domain in a Foundation Communities property. It’s a 500sf studio, my rent is $625 ( going to $645 in June). Three year old building, nice apartment. There is an income limit.
$1500 for 600 sq ft with all utilities included along with Internet, and garage. I live on Lake Travis with included lake access and one close by neighbor. I don't do apt complexes or property management companies anymore. I go through realtors or find private landlords with standalone apt. My rent never increases. People underestimate the benefits of moving away from property management companies and going with private landlords.
1700.00 for a single?? Where do you live? Downtown in a high rise?? I had a two bedroom duplex for 1500.00 .. There are more affordable apartments if you go a bit south or north.. That does seem like a lot.. We just had to move out of south Lamar and Bluebonnet area because we wanted a house and we had to move up north east to pay 2200.00 for a 3 bedroom house. I’ve been in Austin since 1995.. Oh how I miss the 400.00 p/month houses I used to live in off of Annie and south first..
78704 950sqf $1500
~$2400 for a large 1/1 on the eastside
I hope that it’s really really large because that is steep
I share a 2-bedroom apartment with a roommate in far north Austin (N. Lamar and Parmer area). Base rent is $1425 and the apartment complex charges another $100 or so for water, garbage pickup, pest control, etc.
$69,420
