Rent comparison: What $1,300 gets you

Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various Austin neighborhoods. Is one person’s studio another one’s townhouse? Let’s find out! Today’s price: $1,300/month.

↑ Flamingo Condominiums, 1422 Collier Street, 525 square feet, one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo apartment $1,300/month. There’s not a lot of info in this listing for an apartment in the Zilker neighborhood, but since it’s a neighbor to (and possibly behind) the South Austin Popular Culture Center and near popular bars and restaurants on South Congress, odds are that living there is colorful and fun.

↑ 9412 North Creek Drive, 950 square feet, three-bedroom, one-bathroom house, $1,300/month. If you’re in search a single-family home with a yard and all that, this house in the North Lamar neighborhood might do the trick. It has new windows and exterior pain, a later model gas range in the kitchen, a large backyard, and a carport. Cats and small dogs allowed.

↑ 4104 Nitschke Street #B, 500 square feet, one-bedroom, one-bathroom detached-condo apartment $1,300/month. This Mueller apartment/duplex is technically a detached or freestanding condo, which means it doesn’t share any walls with the front unit. It was built in 2016 and is a garage apartment with tile floors, granite counters, ceiling fans, and a washer/dryer included. To find it, just look for the old Mueller Airport Control Tower. Cats and small dogs allowed.

↑ Grove at Northwest Hills, 3517 North Hills Drive, 742 square feet, two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, $1,340/month.
