Moving to Austin for Tesla — neighborhood/apartment recommendations?

Hi! I’m moving to Austin soon for an internship at Tesla Giga Texas and I’m looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment. My budget is around $1,300/month.

I’ve mainly been looking around Easton Park, Mueller, Windsor Park, and East Austin, but I’m open to other areas too.

My biggest priority is safety since I’ll be living alone. I’d also ideally like to be around a 20-minute drive to Giga Texas, in a clean and well-maintained area that’s somewhat walkable with coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, parks, etc. nearby.

I know I probably won’t get everything at this budget, so I’m mainly trying to figure out which
neighborhoods would be the best balance.

Would really appreciate any neighborhood or specific apartment recommendations, as well as any areas/apartments you’d avoid. Thanks!
