A one-story, single-family home renting for $1,675/month, this 1979 home is located in a slightly less sizzling zone of South Austin’s hot 78745 area, just south of the intersection of South Congress Avenue and William Cannon Drive in the Buckingham Ridge subdivision. It measures 1,469 square feet and has three bedrooms and two bathroom as well as vinyl plank-wood flooring, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a fully fenced backyard. Pets allowed, although it sounds like large-breed dogs might (or might not!) be an exception—you’ll have to consult the landlord on that one.

This studio in Skyhouse Austin, located in Downtown’s Rainey Street district, will serve as a fine example of same. Priced at $1,635/month, it has big views and small dimensions (544 square feet) as well as high ceilings, granite countertops, upgraded fixtures, and in-unit laundry facilities. Pets are allowed.

It has recently been remodeled, its carport holds two cars, and pets are allowed.
