Austin apartments under $1,200

Yes. 49 of the newer buildings I track have a studio or one-bedroom at or under $1,200 a month, on base rent or once the special is counted. Older buildings go lower still; tell me your budget and I will include them.

Tisdale at Lakeline Station (17 weeks free), The Gabriel Georgetown (13 weeks free), Carson Crossing (12 weeks free). Specials usually apply to select homes and lease terms, so I confirm the unit before you apply.

On the date checked, Bridge at Speyside: one-bedrooms from $1,043 base rent, about $802 a month after its 12-week special, plus about $100 a month in required fees.

Garages: The Howard, The Darby, Azola Avery Centre, The Merle on Howard, Lookout. Private yards on some homes: Bridge at Speyside, Tisdale at Lakeline Station, The Gabriel Georgetown, Vantage at McKinney Falls, The Darby. Both are usually limited to certain floor plans.

Yes: Libertad Austin, VEER Apartments, Carson Crossing, Bridge at Speyside, The Rhett, Bridge at Estancia and others. Rent at those homes depends on household size and income limits; send me yours and I'll tell you where you qualify.
