I’ll be renting an apartment by myself January 2027. I’ve always had roommates so this is my first time living solo. My income is commission based and I’m still building clientele, and looking for a part time job on the side. I’ll likely stick to income restricted apartments/units since I don’t have a base pay. I guess I’m looking for any recommendations, places to stay away from, management that’s decent and doesn’t screw you over (hard to come by these days it seems). Any information will be helpful! Thank you!

Moving from Indianapolis to Austin soon. I am looking for 2+ bedroom & bath apartments with attached/direct access garages within 15min drive (during peak traffic) from North Domain. Under $1800 preferred.

Have been searching for weeks online with very limited success. Filters like Townhomes or garages are not of much help.

I would like to create a list and tour them for a couple of days before our move to Austin.

While many communities mention attached garages, their floorplans do not show them.

Some I found are

NoA McNeil, Villas at Stone oak ranch, Travesia

Thanks in advance.

URGENTLY trying to relet my lease for the 2026-2027 year. Willing to discuss potential price cuts. This is for a 4x4 with 3 other males whom are my friends. I'm only looking to relet due to having a second place that I recently purchased and not wanting to pay two rents every month. If you would like more details, please let me know!

Does anyone in here live in Easton Park? I’m 25 looking to buy a home in Austin, I just feel like I’m throwing money away on rent.

Currently living off E Riverside and I’ve been hunting on Zillow, but after looking at a few properties east of mueller and south of ben white my realtor showed me the EP neighborhood.

I commute downtown every day, but I would just get so much more out there for my money (new build, square footage and more bedrooms)

If you live in EP and commute downtown, is it terrible? Do you prefer 35 or 183?

Hey everyone.

I’m looking for apartments in Austin and will be moving from out of state. I will be commuting to the Domain 3 times a week and will be working a 9-5. Ideally want my commute to and from to be 20-30 mins.

Things I want in an apartment:
Walkable with restaurants and bars near by
Base rent less than 2000 a month
1bd/1ba or studio with 600+ sq ft
Would like it to be quiet during night time. It would be nice to have an apartment facing a courtyard

I was thinking about living in East Austin at places like The residence at satillo, amli east side, corazon, since they are very walkable and close to downtown and the river. Does anyone know what my commute during 8-8:30 and 5-5:30pm would be if I lived there?

Do you have recs for similar apartments in the domain that are walkable and closer to work

I’m looking for a short term lease from June 1st - Aug 31st in East Austin. Does anybody know any one bedroom apartments I could get for $1500 or under? All the places I’ve looked at are $2000 because of the short term lease.

Anyone has experience with Lenox Park? The most recent reviews are negatives i know to take it with a grain of salt but still love an insight reviews here on reddit

Also look at Five Two at Highland and Ella Parkside

Any insights is appreciated!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for an apartment with a female roommate who is also interested to split an apartment in South Congress, Central Austin, South Lamar, or Mueller. 

Budget is around $1100 max (excluding utilities is okay too)

Move in: Mid-July

About me: Nurse, don’t smoke, clean, respectful, and fairly quiet during work days (with 12hr shifts)

Would love to explore some new places together!

My partner and I are relocating to Austin soon and have narrowed our apartment search down to two main options: West Koenig Flats and Medina Highlands.

However, looking at reviews online, my two biggest anxieties are cockroaches/pest issues and slow/neglectful maintenance teams. I know Texas bugs are a different breed, but I'd really love to avoid a full-blown infestation or a management team that ignores work orders for weeks.

Any advice or which property would you go with?

Hey everyone, I’m currently looking for an apartment in Mueller, Austin. Does anyone have any recommendations or personal experience living there? I’d love to hear the pros, cons, or anything I should watch out for.

I am a recent graduate. Don’t drink don’t smoke. Love to cook, spend most of my free time at the gym. Don’t mind driving into downtown every so often.

HI,

I’m relocating for work and looking for someone to take over my lease for a 1 bed / 1 bath apartment at Canyon Resort at Great Hills

I’ve honestly loved living here — the location is great, maintenance is super quick, the closet is huge, and the community has been really nice overall. I’ve only been here about 2 months, so everything is still in excellent condition.

I’m also offering $2,000 to help cover rent/moving expenses.

Within less than 10 minutes:

• HEB
• Costco
• Sam’s Club
• Whole Foods
• Trader Joe’s
• Target
• 12 min from the Domain

I also have a full video walkthrough of the apartment if anyone wants to see it!

Feel free to message me with questions, photos, or more details

• Rent is around $1,400/month total
• About 10 months left on the lease
• Flexible move-in date
• Pet friendly

Currently looking for a place to stay in Austin for the summer to do an internship, preferably near East Cesar Chavez, Downtown, or near the university. Would need to stay from May 26 - August 14th. Budget under $1500
