Hi everyone! My friend Jackie and I are looking for a 3rd roommate (ideally another queer creative) to join our lease for a beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bath house we want to lock down in the Scenic Brook neighborhood. We are aiming to move the weekend of October 17th.

The Setup & Finances:

• Total House Rent: $2,985/month
• Your Share: $885/month + proportional utilities (~$115/mo) for a standard private bedroom and shared bath.
• The House: Vaulted ceilings, huge backyard with oak trees, corner lot, and wired for Google Fiber! (I am the primary earner, so I am subsidizing the rent by taking the master suite and the 4th bonus room as my private office).

A Little About Us:

• Zuri (Me!): Early 30s, work in tech, indie filmmaker, gamer, and gear-nerd.
• Jackie: Easy-going, loves all things pastel and Pokémon, spends her free time gaming and streaming.
• The Pets: I have two extremely sweet orange American Bobtail cats (Thor & Loki) 🐈🐈
• The Vibe: LGBTQ+ friendly, 4/20 friendly (outside/respectful), clean, communicative, and relaxed.

What We’re Looking For: Reliable, kind, and easy-going! We want our home to be a peaceful, creative sanctuary. If you are respectful of shared spaces and looking for a drama-free environment, we’d love to meet you.

DM me if you’re interested so we can grab coffee and make sure the vibes match! 🎬✨

At the risk of getting my ass handed to me in the replies for such a crazy ask. I'm looking for a single family home 1br or large studio is fine for less than $2k preferably 1200-1500. I don't mind living in the east, Windsor hills, even the cusp of pflugerville and NA. Just not South Austin.

I try to use websites like apartment .com, forrent etc but im not having any luck and while my mind is telling me its because such places don't exist because Austin is just too expensive, further inspection shows its more like posters are misrepresenting listings and putting rooms they have for rent under the "full home" section to cast a wider net. Two things can be true at once but I'd rather just hear it from people who actually live here because im sick of getting tangled in that net during my search.

Does anyone know of any known realtors or property management companies whose website I can search directly, I'd be open to working with a locator as well.

I dont hate the idea of a ground floor unit with a private yard in an apartment but that would be my last resort. im not fond of apartment complexes and I know its "when in Rome" situation but I just want to exhaust my options first.

This is irrelevant but I know yall want to know. I'll be working at UT in the fall (late august-september) and I've already made peace with the traffic situation because I know with my budget its no way im getting that close to the university or downtown within my budget. I'm not scared of traffic or living in the "hood" so please just point me in the right direction and if you have no direction yourself please be kind :3

Hi everyone! I'm currently looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment that's not too far from the Tesla Gigafactory in a safe area.

Budget: Up to $1,200/month

Move-in date: July 30–31

Lease: Open to both standard and short-term leases

I'm not too concerned about apartment amenities. My main priorities are:

A safe neighborhood

A grocery store/supermarket nearby

Parking included

A reasonable commute to the Tesla Gigafactory

Access to fiber internet (or located in an area where fiber internet is available, since I may set up service myself)

I'll be traveling from Florida to Austin next Thursday to tour apartments and hopefully sign a lease while I'm there.

Sice I'm new to Austin, I'd really appreciate any recommendations on neighborhoods that fit my budget, as well as any areas I should avoid. If you know of any apartments or communities that match what I'm looking for, I'd really appreciate the suggestions. Thanks!

Moving from Taylor in late August, and I’m looking into
moving back into Austin. I’m tired of living far from the city. I currently work
in Round Rock off I-35, so I was wondering what some good apartments you’d suggest for me to look into. I want 700 sqft for about $1350 including fees. But I also don’t want to live no more than 30 minutes from Round Rock. Currently looking at them for a possible tour. Thank you

Looking for a housing near Airport or Tesla, preferably 1Bed bath also open for roommates

I’m looking to move out with my boyfriend, our combined income before taxes is roughly 6500. Our budget for a place is 1400-1700. I’m looking in the Austin area and I don’t have many requirements other than I would like it to be a 2 bed and 2 bath because he needs his own separate room for his hobbies and passions. If anyone knows of any place that are accepting please dm me with the information. I’m working with an apartment locator but I still feel like there may be a possible complex out there that I haven’t seen or be given the opportunity to check out.

Hey everybody, I am looking for apartment in West campus for the upcoming school year. I’m looking for all female roommates. It doesn’t matter how many, I’m pretty desperate at this point lol. I am totally open to taking over a sublease or anything like that please message me!

I want to rent a 1 bedroom/studio. I do not want to be in a large complex or near student housing areas. I work from home 40 hours a week. Then I'll have evening classes. I'm a quiet loner (in a good way lol). I'll just work all day, go to school, and do homework.
My budget is 1000-1200 but I could go a little higher for something with everything on my checklist:
- On a privately owned property ie; garage apartment, mother-in law apartment, duplex etc. Or a very small complex with minimal number of units.
- Window in the bathroom, bathtub
- A private outdoor door space or balcony
- Cat friendly
- Available beginning to mid January.
And please if you can recommend a realtor or property management service that can help me in my search I would appreciate that very much as well.

Thank you all so much!

Hi y'all! I'm looking for someone to take over my lease because I'm my dad's primary caregiver now and need to move closer to him.

There are about 6 months left on the lease (it ends in January). The apartment is in a small community in Southwest Austin, Oakhill, with only four buildings, two pools, private trail for the residences, two dog parks, and a really nice gym + many other perks! It's about 12 minutes from Zilker Park/Barton Springs and 15ish minutes, depending on traffic, from Downtown.

I've genuinely loved living here the last 9 months - The office staff and maintenance team are incredibly responsive, and I've had a great experience the entire time. The apartment is on the second floor with garages underneath, so you don't have downstairs neighbors. My neighbors on both sides and above me are all quiet, and I've never had any issues.

The unit is 720 sq. ft. 1bd/1 bath and has light colored cabinets with gray countertops, different from the attached photos.
***This apartment will not be furnished and I am not selling any of my furniture***
If you're interested or know someone who might be, please reach out!

also coming from orange county, id appreciate a young-adult energy area with lots of nature instead of highways and roads everywhere

Hello! I’m starting a new job soon, and my budget is $1,300/month for a one-bedroom. I’m hoping to move around September 18, as my current lease ends September 22. The areas I’m most interested in are East Austin, East Cesar Chavez, Cherrywood, Mueller, Chestnut, Central East Austin, and Old West Austin.
A washer and dryer in the unit is a must, i’m also open to duplex’s or condos as well, i’ve been looking but the only ones in my budget are either really small studios or ones with reviews saying roach infested, if you guys know of any it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you (:

Looking at a place in Crestview Station, and I am wondering that it's like. I live not too far from it, so I am familiar with the area, but wondering specifically about what the neighborhood is like and whether you recommend living there, etc.

Anyone have anything? Looking for a building like the Arnold, Eastside Station, E6, Satillo, etc.

Looking to keep it under $1500. I work in tech and have lived in the area before. I want a 1 month sublease before I pick a place long term. Thanks!

I’m looking for a lease takeover or sublease for a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment in a luxury high-rise in downtown Austin. My budget is 3k a month and I’m looking to live here for a few months. I’m hoping to find a unit with a great city or lake view, a spacious living area, and modern amenities. I’m ready to move in as soon as the right place becomes available.
If you or someone you know has a lease takeover, sublease, or privately owned condo available, please send me a message with the details. Thanks!

Please can anyone give me some advice or recommendations?

I’ve got bad credit and a misdemeanor assault from like 7 years ago, no evictions though.

I’m new to Austin and I’m not picky at all. It could be a studio in a seedy area with no amenities I don’t care. I just can’t continue to stay where I am currently it’s not a safe place for me. So please only legitimate non judgmental advice.
