5104 Avenue F

If you seek to rent a well-designed modern home conveniently located in North Loop, please find above a two-story loft going for $1,500/month. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom looks like it “lives” (in realtor-speak) bigger than its 420 square feet and has a great, courtyard-style patio. It does seem to be a secondary home behind a larger front house, but the listing doesn’t indicate that.

The 624-square-foot home is also in the central Holly neighborhood on the Eastside. It’s renting for $1,500/month. The backyard is fenced, but pets are not allowed.

A prime location on the lake in South Austin, just north of Travis Heights proper, will cost you some square footage if you’re looking to spend $1,500 per month. But this 453-square-foot studio in the three-year-old Water Marq is well-appointed with high-end finishes and decor and offers copious community amenities, including a pool deck and barbecue area with great views of downtown, just across the river.

The size-location equation in Clarksville is similar to that of Travis Heights and Downtown, so this 476-square-foot condo apartment, renting for $1,495, is par for the course. Apropos of its neighborhood, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite is located in a small, vintage complex with updates including bamboo floors and stainless appliances as well as an in-unit washer/dryer.
