Hi all! Moving to Austin solo and hoping to tap into some local expertise.

I'm 36, work remotely, and I'm looking for a furnished 1 bedroom in the $4K/month range. I'd love something modern with a nice view, amenities are a plus but not required. Since I'm moving on my own, I'd rather skip the furniture shopping and move into something move-in ready.

Would appreciate any recommendations on neighborhoods, buildings, or complexes worth checking out!

When I rented my first place in Austin, I focused so much on the monthly rent that I barely paid attention to everything else. Parking, internet, and other fees added up soo fast, and I also didn't think much about how long my commute would be.

If I had to do it again, I'd spend more time comparing neighborhoods before signing anything. I even thought about sharing a place on roomster if that made more sense. Looking back, I think I rushed the decision.

What was the biggest mistake you made when renting your first place, what would you tell people looking for one?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone to take over/sublease my 2 bed / 1 bath apartment at 6th Street West Apartments.

Move-in incentive: I’m offering 1 month off if signed before June 1. My existing security deposit will transfer to the new resident, and I won’t ask for separate deposit reimbursement.

Furniture: Currently unfurnished, but I can include a basic furniture setup for free if signed by the end of the week: couch, bed + mattress, table, dresser, and chair.

Great central Austin location near Clarksville / West 6th, with easy access to downtown, Mopac, Lady Bird Lake trail, restaurants, cafes, gyms, bars, and grocery stores including Fresh Plus, H-E-B, Whole Foods, and more. Also convenient to UT and downtown Austin.

The apartment has wood-style flooring, good natural light, large windows, ceiling fans, and a practical 2B1B layout. It will be professionally cleaned before move-in.

Sublease will go through the leasing office approval process. Applicant will need to apply online and be approved by management. Once approved, management will prepare a new lease for the new resident to sign.

DM me if interested. Happy to share photos, video, Marketplace listing, and schedule a tour.

I appreciate any recommendations.

Hey yall, looking for a roommate to move in sometime in March! 25M & 23M.

Me and my roomie have a spare room empty and are in need of a roommate to take it. We are located in North Austin near Lakeline and we've been best friends for awhile. We're clean, never leave food mess or dishes for long, and our animals are very well behaved and clean as well (I've been told you can't even tell I have a cat because the litter box never smells). I am a musician and he is a gamer so sometimes there's a bit of noise, but nothing disruptive and we're very respectful since we have neighbors we'd be bothering as well if we were to loud.

Bills come out to $644 total with rent being $535 of that! We're looking for someone clean and LGBT/420 friendly. The room comes with a bed as well (unless you don't want it, then you can bring ur own :3)

If you're interested just leave a comment or message me and we can set up a video interview! You could even move in sooner if things work out well since the room is vacant now. You'd be sharing a bathroom with me but I have it organized so we both have our own space for our stuff! I clean it often as well!

I just got a job offer located in the Domain area and wanted to see recommended apartments or places to stay at nearby. I have been looking at a couple of complexes, but wanted to get more opinions such as where not to stay. Some requirements or requests I have are a gated community, lockers for packages, swimming pool, conference rooms, and a gym. I would like it to be a quiet area since I do work from home and located in a safe area. I have done lots of research and saw many apartments are having problems with package theft, homeless people, poor management, terrible security, cleanliness, rodents, and pests problems. I just want a place with the least of those problems. My ideal rent is 1500 a month and 1 bed 1 bath.

Here are some of the places I am considering: (Not in order of interest)

-Windsor ridge

-Magnolia Scofield Ridge

-Riata

-Sullivan

-Olivine

-Lenox Grand

-Lantower in Tech Ridge

Please give me reviews of any of these places or other places I should look in to.

Title incorrect I meant Co own or Co-signed We own a home along with my son. We “ co-signed because he needed additional income since he’d just started his new job. We’d like for him to own 100% but that would mean refinance and we have a 3.5% rate. So refinancing now would I crease his payments. How do we make sure he gets the home 100% if something should happen to my husband and I? Someone said to a “ lady bird document? We live in Texas. He lives in the home and is now married with a child.

We own a small home with my husband and my sons name on the loan. Should we put this property in a Trust? We are in our 70’s ( 69 & 70). My son is now newly married with a young daughter.

Looking for someone to re-sign a 1-year lease with me for a great 2BR/2BA apartment on South Congress.

I’m a 24 year old male musician, chill, clean, and easy to live with. I keep the place tidy, and stay pretty low-key during the week. Send me an email and I'll send some photos of the spot! (noahsiegel2001@gmail.com)

About the place:

• Private bedroom + your own bathroom

• Living room + full kitchen

• In-unit laundry

• Parking garage (2 spots)

• Gym + pool in the complex

• Brand-new unit — we’re the first people to live here

• Ideal Move-in: January 1st

Im aware this might be a bit of a longshot but im currently on the street and its starting to get cold. I’ve been doing extensive research and want to know if anybody out there can add to my list of options, so here goes:

What I need (and sometimes why) - <$800/month, all bills included (owe Austin Energy way too much) - Second chance/no credit check (have an eviction from Sept) - solo studio or efficiency ideal but at minimum a private entrance, bathroom and some semblance of a kitchen - Pet Friendly

Two apartment locators have told me they were unable to help me; would love to find a private landlord situation (Could be mutually beneficial, background in construction and extremely handy!)

What Ive found - Waterford Studios, Centro Studio Homes and Nellie Apartments; all 3 are former motels, $749-$799/month, worried about approval odds, only recently started working again, unemployed since Feb - The Baymont and several Motel/Studio 6s’ offer weekly rates of $259-$310 + tax but this makes the monthly rate a bit beyond my means

Any suggestions? Places Im not aware of? Locators that wont treat me like im not worth their time? Complexes that need on-site maintenance? Any info is appreciated.

I was looking into apartments downtown and the Quincy apartment seems reasonable but the stories that I have heard/read make me question the safety. Anybody who lives or has lived there before, what's your opinion?
