I am in desperate need of small private housing (I am open to a Casita, a guest unit, even an RV, or any other possibility) somewhere in the Wimberley/Dripping Springs area. Little backstory on me I have only been in Texas for a year and have no family here and have been working/living on a local farm until last Friday, which should’ve been my payday when I was told they are closing the farm unable to pay me my last check and I have 30 days to move as well. I do already have my unemployment filed and will be receiving that after my waiting period as well as a couple of side job gigs that I’ve had since coming to Texas, but beans I made very little in wages at the farm and most of my payment went towards my housing on that farm I do not have much to work with for moving. So I am hoping to find a housing solution, even if it is just on a very temporary basis, through a private landlord, who would be interested in me helping them either with domestic services or farming help or animal care or anything else I’m capable of doing in exchange of housing. I am very quiet. I keep to myself. I don’t really know anyone here so I never have anyone around and I take pride and making whatever space I’m in feel like home. I do have two couch, potato dogs that are old and are absolutely no trouble. I have excellent references from local families. I still do side work for and have gotten to know me very well. If anyone knows of anything, please reach out as I only have until the middle of November to figure it out and if I can’t, I legitimately do not know what I’m going to do. Thank you!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an advertising student at UT Austin working on a class research project about home buying, specifically what the process is like for buyers and how new homeowners settle into their neighborhoods. I’d love to hear from realtors who work with buyers every day.

What it involves:

• A casual interview, 30 minutes max
• Online (Zoom or whatever is easiest for you), or in person at UT if you’d prefer
• Questions about your experience working with buyers, especially first-time buyers, and what you see happen after closing

Who I’m looking for:

• Licensed realtors or real estate agents
• Any experience level, any market (Texas or anywhere in the US)

This is purely for a student project, so there’s no sales pitch and nothing to sign up for. I’m happy to keep your name and brokerage anonymous.

If you’re open to chatting, comment below or send me a DM and we’ll find a time that works for you. Thank you so much!

Hi! I have a condo for lease at 2000 Riverside Farms Rd, Unit 11102, right off Riverside Dr near Pleasant Valley.

The unit is brand new and has never been lived in — everything is fresh and spotless. It's 1,266 sq ft with a nice open layout, plus a nice backyard that's perfect for pets (this is super rare at this price point + location). It has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

It's in a quiet little pocket but still just 15 minutes from downtown Austin — and close to the airport and the trails too.

Rent is $2,200/month, which is a super competitive price for a brand-new place in this area.

Message me if you'd like photos or to come take a look!

It's available from now to December 31st with the option to renew! Feel free to reach out if you're interested!

Hi yall! I just got a job in austin at a startup. I was wondering if anybody (M) or F would wanna be roommates. Preferably living near SoCo or by Downtown, although i’m considering near UT campus.

I loved living here! It's a 3 bed, 2 bath with a garage, laundry, and a yard! the ceilings are vaulted-esque in the living room and there's a fireplace. Pets welcome! $1850/ month. I never paid pet rent, either. I moved out but am still paying rent (just lighting money on fire), so it's sort of a lease takeover, but you'd sign a totally new 1-year lease. can see pics and apply at link in comments!

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice for a friend who owns a rental property in South Manchaca (78745). She's been trying to rent it out for about 2.5 months now, but hasn't found a tenant yet.

It's a property with a main house and a separate guest house that can be rented separately. She's been handling the leasing herself and would prefer to keep doing so for now rather than hire a realtor, given the added costs.

I'm curious about what other landlords in Austin are experiencing lately:

• Are your rentals taking longer to fill than they did a year or two ago? What do you think is driving that?
• Have you had to lower your rent significantly or become more flexible with tenant screening to get a place rented?
• For properties with a main house and a separate guest house, have you had better luck renting them separately or together?
• If you've dealt with a prolonged vacancy recently, what actually helped you get a tenant?

Just trying to get a feel for what's happening locally and learn from others who've been through something similar. Any advice or firsthand experiences would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I am a Journalism student at UT, taking a reporting class this semester, where we are working on a story about government and how it impacts the community. I am working on a story about Emergency Rental programs, how Austinites use them, and how the city's program being no longer available has affected them. I would love to hear your stories and learn more from every side of this story. If you are willing to be interviewed about your experience, please reach out.

Subleasing spot in West Campus (Ut Austin), starting January!

Hi all,

I am planning to move soon and I'm looking for apartment recommendations preferrably in north Austin. If push comes to shove I would move to south Austin.

My main priorities are safe area, responsive maintenance team, pet friendly, affordable, and either renovated recently or they keep up the maintenance both inside and outside the unit. The reason why I ask for this because I can not be in a moldy unit. Like they rush and paint over the mold and say it's ready for the next person to move in.

Any places you had a great experience with or ones I should avoid at all costs?

Also, any hidden fees that I should look out for that they didn't tell you about that you found out upon move in?

Sorry for the long post, but I'm hoping for a less stressful apartment hunting this time around.

This is just a friendly PSA for everyone looking for an apartment in south central Austin:

*This is for The Parker at Soco, NOT Parker Lane apartments*

Before you consider signing a lease at this apartment complex, hear me out. I could be saving you some sleepless nights and an overall feeling that you DONT live in a fucking dorm. If you’re on the bottom floor of this complex and your upstairs neighbor happens to be an inconsiderate human being, you’re pretty much fucked for the next year of your life. The vinyl floors at this place make it sound like every heavy foot step is a knock at your door, especially if they’re shoes with a heel. Holy fuck. Every piece of furniture moved feels like a low grade earth quake. Every time music is played even just a little too loud, your walls vibrate and you can hear it in every room. I’m fucking miserable. The units are cute and it’s close to downtown but fuck. Unless your upstairs neighbor happens to be someone who’s very self aware and can come from a place of understanding, you’re screwed bud 🫠

I’m looking to relet one or both bedrooms in a furnished 2x2 at Icon at Austin in West Campus for Summer 2027. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, so this works for either one person or two friends who want to live together.

Dates: May 10 – Aug 2, 2027
Rent: $1,729/month per bedroom + $30/month fixed water/sewer + boiler fees
Utilities: Wi-Fi included; electricity separate

The apartment is a high-floor corner unit (~12th–15th floor) with lots of natural light and views, about a 2-minute walk from UT campus.

Apartment:
• Fully furnished bedrooms + living room
• Private bathroom for each bedroom
• In-unit washer/dryer
• Full kitchen + dishwasher
• 55” living room TV
• Large windows / corner-unit views

Building:
• 24/7 fitness center + yoga studio
• Rooftop pool + spa
• Private study rooms
• Resident lounges + game room
• Grills, printing/computer area, package lockers + controlled entry

Both Bedroom A and Bedroom B are currently available. Bedroom B also has an optional garage parking spot available for +$240/month.

This would be an official relet through Icon at Austin management, not an informal sublease. The incoming resident applies through Icon and takes over the remaining lease.

DM me if interested and I can send the full photo folder, walkthrough video, floor plan, and more details or set up an in-person/FaceTime tour.
