Southwest Austin apartment prices at a glance (estimates, checked Oct 2026)
This is not an area average. It is the range of “from” prices that the 8 Southwest Austin buildings below list on their own websites on the dates shown. Some prices are base rent and some are total monthly cost, so read the “basis” column in the building table before comparing.
| Size | Lowest to highest “from” price (estimate) | Median of those prices | Buildings with a listed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $1,271 to $1,308 | $1,289 | 2 |
| 1-bedroom | $1,135 to $1,476 | $1,280 | 7 |
| 2-bedroom | $1,396 to $2,726 | $1,906 | 8 |
Higher-priced buildings tend to be newer or taller buildings with more amenities; lower prices often belong to older or smaller communities, or to a single plan that is the cheapest in the building. A starting price is the cheapest listed home, not what every home costs.

How to compare apartment costs in Southwest Austin
- Ask for the total monthly cost. Base rent plus required monthly fees (pest, trash, valet trash, package or amenity fees), parking and pet rent can add up to a very different number from the advertised rent.
- Ask what is one-time. Application, administrative and security deposit amounts are not published by every property; I mark those “ask the office” instead of guessing.
- Read specials closely. “Up to X weeks free” usually applies to certain homes and lease lengths. Compare the net cost over the whole lease, not just the headline.
- Compare lease length. The same plan can have different prices on different terms, so compare like with like.
