Austin’s reputation as the “Live Music Capital of the World” is just one of its many draws. This Texas gem combines a thriving tech scene with a laid-back lifestyle that appeals to both professionals and creatives. Downtown Austin offers high-rise apartments with stunning views of Lady Bird Lake, while South Congress (SoCo) charms renters with its boutique shops, food trucks, and vintage flair. Families often choose North Austin or Circle C Ranch for their spacious homes and strong sense of community. Whether you’re paddleboarding on the lake or enjoying live music at one of the city’s iconic venues, Austin offers a dynamic yet welcoming environment.



It’s everything the old way of finding an apartment isn’t.

Urban energy pulses through Downtown Austin, where historic buildings stand alongside sleek high-rises with spectacular views. Rental options include industrial-chic lofts and luxury apartments with resort-style amenities targeting urban professionals. While the neighborhood offers unmatched walkability to restaurants, entertainment venues, and major employers, rental rates rank among Austin's highest with noise from entertainment districts affecting some buildings. Perfect for professionals and empty nesters who prioritize walkable urban living and don't mind paying premium rates for maximum convenience and amenities despite occasional street noise.
Eclectic energy defines this enclave where The Domain's upscale shopping meets Dive Bar's karaoke nights. Pet owners appreciate the 38-acre Walnut Creek Park's off-leash areas but contend with 65% of rentals charging monthly pet fees. Vintage lovers flock to the monthly N. Lamar flea market.
Creative energy pulses through Brentwood, where mid-century homes and garden apartments house Austin's musicians and artists in this central neighborhood. The district surrounds multiple parks including Brentwood Park with its popular swimming pool, while nearby commercial districts provide practical amenities within walking distance of most rentals. Though rental rates have increased alongside Austin's overall popularity, the neighborhood still offers better value than downtown or South Congress areas while maintaining similar access to the city's famous cultural scenes.
I would look at Sentral maybe for elevated living, other places are called luxury but fail to deliver
Not sure a lot of places are are old n need to upgrade. But my experience in apartment I gotta say Salado made me feel welcome coming from losing everything in house fire
Very much so. I moved from COS, CO and I feel like I received 5 raises to go along with my promotion.
Just depends on person and preferences. I have many friends living downtown and all have different incomes, different lives, jobs, etc., but love it down there.
I was relocated here after a promotion and it is inexpensive.
The new L.A. basically. It’s better to get here early nowadays and get on the ball to establishing yourself because it’s definitely the place to be for opportunities.
