Pricing

Most rental decisions use the budget as the starting point. Austin's rental market can vary widely depending on location, size, and amenities. Determine a comfortable price range for your budget, keeping in mind additional costs such as utilities, internet, and renters insurance, which can affect your overall monthly expenses.

Size

The size of the rental property is paramount, especially if you're balancing the need for space with budget constraints. Consider the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you need, and think about how much living and storage space is essential for your comfort and lifestyle.

Amenities

Amenities can greatly enhance your living experience. Things like appliances, outdoor areas, and whether or not the lease features utilities included are some examples of important amenities to Austin renters. Consider which amenities are most important to you and weigh them against other factors like location and price.

Medical Considerations

For some renters, proximity to medical facilities and access to Austin’s doctors is a top priority, especially for those with ongoing medical needs or those who desire quick access to hospitals in emergencies. Austin is home to world-class medical facilities, so consider rentals that offer easy access to these institutions.

Floor Plan

The floor plan is a critical aspect of your rental home choice, particularly for long-term leases. Whether you're drawn to an open floor plan that boasts a spacious kitchen island perfect for entertaining, or you need a layout that allows you to comfortably accommodate all your belongings, the floor plan impacts daily life and movement within your home. Think about how you use space, your need for privacy versus open areas, and how different floor plans might suit your lifestyle.

Keep in mind: All of this can be especially tricky to do by yourself, which is why it’s often best to work with a professional. Contact our Austin real estate team today for expert assistance in your search for the perfect house for rent in Austin.
