The Awwwstin Expense Factor
As a general rule – as with most cities – the closer that you live to the downtown area the higher the rent you should expect to pay for apartment rentals. Young singles especially gravitate to the downtown Austin area for its unparalleled nightlife and cultural offerings – not to mention its proximity to center city jobs. Lofts and smaller city apartments are available in this area – as well as townhome apartments - but at considerably higher prices than you can expect to pay outside the city limits.
Outside The Austin City Limits
Once outside of the downtown area, Austin offers a variety of pocket communities offering their own unique lifestyle choices. To the Northeast and Northwest of the city, where many high profile tech companies have set up shop, there are a variety of apartment complexes offering a full range of amenities and access to public transportation. North Central Austin – home to the University of Texas – offers many more affordable apartment options including complexes, garden apartments, garage apartments, and student apartments.
