What should a KPMG Austin new hire budget for a one-bedroom apartment?

Quick answer

Grant’s off-season starting one-bedroom planning ranges are roughly $1,800–$2,000 in South Congress, $2,000–$2,200 Downtown, $1,800–$2,000 in South Lamar, $1,700–$1,900 in Mueller, and $1,600–$1,800 in Riverside. Austin pricing can change significantly by season, so live rents and specials should be reconfirmed. Grant recommends comparing effective rent after concessions, then weighing amenities, resident events, walkability, and location.
