↑ 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.

↑ 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.
