Moving from out of state in the Spring. Wife will be going to grad school at UT for a few years.

Originally from Houston, but don't know much about Austin, especially real estate and where the good areas are. Where would you live in close proximity to campus (walking distance)? Don't want a run down condo but we also don't need something extremely fancy. Any ideas or suggestions on buildings to look into? 1bed 1bath, looking to stay under 2500

I went to UT for my undergrad and graduated in 2018.

At least for undergrad, west campus is where you live to party, north campus is more chill.

I'd check out north campus or far west (close to north lamar) if you want to walking distance and chill. There is also a campus bus that drives around the neighborhoods around UT, and biking to class is a great option!

I don't have any recs on specific buildings, but you'll see a mix of new renovated, corporate owned apartments and smaller apartment buildings that are typically older. The small buildings will be less expensive, but less nice.

Thank you, this is super helpful!! We're definitely leaning more towards the chill side

Consider the Avenir as an option. 1 bedrooms are about $2400 right now. I love living here and toured about 30 other buildings in the area that were much older but cost just as much, if not more. It’s perfect distance to campus but is separate from areas with challenges such as homeless, lack of parking, etc. They are doing a leasing special where you get 6 weeks free if you do longer than 12 month lease. Just be strategic about when you go bc they may require you to sign within a certain time frame to get that deal

Hi! Feel free to reach out if you’re interested. I’m a real estate agent, and I can assist you in finding an apartment.

The buildings, Troubador, Marq, Aura, and Sabina are all just north of campus and are nice (nicest being Troubador, then getting less fancy down the list). Hancock is a good spot to rent a small home, rather than apartment, too. Definitely steer clear of West Campus. Frat party central. Loved it in college but not the vibe anymore

I live in Hancock. Lots of UT grads and faculty. Neighborhood vibe. Friendly people. Lots of little apartment complexes and garage apartments that might be of interest.

I'd consider living along the bus line further out. West Campus is extremely expensive and young. If you're over ~25, I'd recommend cherrywood or east MLK and just take the bus in to campus. You'll have more space and less BS.

I can connect you with someone to help find a great spot! Send me a message.
