See The Cheapest And Most Expensive Austin Neighborhoods For Renters This Fall

This September, Austin remained the 19th most expensive rental market in the country, as one bedroom median rents hovered at $1,120, while two bedrooms settled at $1,460. Rent prices in the city have largely plateaued over the past quarter, following a major jump to start the year. Prices for a one bedroom are up 12% year over year, one of the highest increases of any major city in the United States.

Looking at our map above, the most expensive areas to rent a home or apartment this fall include Downtown Austin ($1,870), driven by a considerable amount of new construction, and neighborhoods such as Zilker ($1,530) and West Austin ($1,490). More affordable finds are located in West University ($1,000), the areas surrounding UT Austin ($950), and Windsor Park ($900).
