By Alexander Concepcion, Taco Street Locating. Building prices below were checked on each property’s own website between Sep 30 to Oct 1, 2026. Estimates are labeled as estimates.
South Austin is the part of Austin south of Lady Bird Lake, including South Lamar, South Congress and the Slaughter Lane area. On the dates I checked in Sep to Oct 2026, the 13 South Austin buildings we priced listed 1-bedroom starting prices from $1,252 to $2,610 and 2-bedroom from $1,487 to $4,060. These are estimates from property websites.

South 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 13 South 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 | $1,109 to $2,122 | $1,250 | 6 |
| 1-bedroom | $1,252 to $2,610 | $1,410 | 13 |
| 2-bedroom | $1,487 to $4,060 | $1,890 | 13 |
The Bouldin, Gibson Flats, Coldwater, Fifteen15 South Lamar and 422 at the Lake list the highest starting prices here; Bexley SoCo, Lenox SoCo, Cala, Bridge at Southpark Landing, Strata and Lenox Woods list lower ones. A starting price is the cheapest listed home, not what every home costs.

Where are the South Austin buildings?
South Austin covers a lot of ground, so the address matters more than the name. In the table, The Bouldin, Gibson Flats, Fifteen15 South Lamar and Retreat at Barton Creek are on South Lamar Boulevard (zip 78704); 422 at the Lake is on West Riverside Drive; Debut SoCo and Bexley SoCo are on South Congress Avenue; and Lenox SoCo, Cala, Bridge at Southpark Landing, Strata and Lenox Woods are further south (zips 78744, 78745, 78748). Coldwater is on Toomey Road (78704).
That spread shows up in price: The Bouldin, Gibson Flats, Fifteen15 and 422 at the Lake list the highest 1-bedroom starting prices, while the buildings south of Slaughter Lane and on South Congress list lower ones; Retreat at Barton Creek, on South Lamar, is also on the lower side. Look up each address on a map to compare drive and bus times to your work. Capital Metro posts current routes at capmetro.org.
Fees differ too. Some South Austin sites publish an itemized fee sheet and others do not; our building pages say which. Ask for a written total that includes parking, pest, trash and package fees.

How to compare apartment costs in South 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.
