Moving to Austin this summer. I will be working mostly downtown with some WFH and travel, hubby is FT WFH. Our thoughts are renting something 3 bedroom until we can decide where to buy. We both go to the gym daily and we enjoy eating out. Any recommendations of where to look?

We’ve lived in Mueller for almost a year and have really enjoyed it. 10 minutes to downtown.
Safe and pretty quiet, although expensive. We’ve enjoyed renting here, but would never buy here with the crazy high prices for townhomes and the ridiculous $400/month HOAs.
Depends on what you’re looking for in a place to live though.

Thanks.

We have a furnished three bedroom that we’re renting out for the summer! It’s in Hyde Park, close to amazing restaurants and venues. Walkable, picturesque. Very central and easy to get everywhere but also neighborhoody. And the place is way below market rate. DM me?

Yes! Furnished. It used to be an Airbnb before we bought it, so has everything one needs and is cute. If you or someone you know is interested let’s be in touch.

Head east. Easy access to DT, some of the best/trendiest restaurants in town, and several gyms in the immediate area.

Renting short-term (such as a sublet or Airbnb) is a great way to arrive and get to know the city. There are all kinds of neighborhoods and all kinds of factors. I’d actually suggest chatting with a local real estate agent so they can help dive into the preferences you have and where you’d like to land so you can narrow your search somewhat. Happy to make an introduction if you’d like! I’ve worked with thousands of local agents (I’m a lender) and have some top agents to share with you if you’d like just send me a note - jlind@firstunitedbank.com

Everyone suggesting Mueller, all I've seen in that area are townhomes from $750K+, that seems extremely expensive for the size of home you get.

OP said renting, not buying. Agreed for buying you get better bang for buck elsewhere

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
