S.M.A.R.T Now Easier than Ever
If you’re a UT student on a budget - and you’re definitely not alone - then you have probably heard about the S.M.A.R.T. housing program.

Just northwest of UT Campus a brand new property has emerged in 2009 that hasn’t received as much attention as new West Campus projects such as the Vintage or 21 Rio, but should. It’s called the Buckingham Apartments, and as a quality, medium-sized new project with reasonable pricing, we think it’s a shame more UT students weren’t able to capitalize on the outstanding opportunity at the building this year. Set against the mature trees and quiet streets of West Avenue, the project offers a combination of amenities, location, conveniences, and style that’s unparalleled for the price in the neighborhood. And thanks to lots of word of mouth as well as some aggressive marketing by a small group of realtors has left the project fully booked for the Fall, and there’s a reason why - just read more to find out about the Buckingham Apartments in North Campus.

So it’s February. You’re back in classes, back in Austin, and generally back in action. And if you’re anything like many of the other UT students this semester, you still haven’t found your place for next August. When it comes to West Campus apartments, and UT apartments and condos in general, the early bird tends to get the worm (the best choice of properties), and to a certain extent many outstanding properties have already leased up this year. This includes properties such as the Villas Nueces and Villas San Gabriel (all leased up), the Texan West Campus, and others. However, there are still a large number of great UT apartments in West Campus, North Campus, and Hyde Park that are ripe for the taking, and West Campus Living has some outstanding deals ranging from studios and 1/1s all the way up to large 5 and 6 bedroom houses (you can search for properties here). Whether you’re looking for an apartment already or just thinking about getting the process started, we’ve got some advice for you: don’t wait! There is still lots of great inventory and the earlier you lease the better selection you get!

When it comes to apartments in Downtown Austin (you can search for properties here), most people think that they simply aren’t affordable. There are countless new projects, many of them high-profile, that offer one bedrooms for more than $2500 per month, or two bedrooms for more than $3500 per month. While this may be perfect for high rollers with no budget, most of us just can’t afford a downtown Austin apartment that expensive - we’re just looking for a quality apartment at an affordable price that puts us in the middle of the action. If you’ve been looking for a great one or two bedroom apartment downtown and have been finding outrageous prices at every turn, the Robertson Hill Apartments - located just east of IH-35 on San Marcos at 11th Street - may be just what you’ve been searching for. Recently built just a few years ago at the historic Robertson Hill site in east Austin, these apartments offer countless upscale amenities, an outstanding clubhouse and pool, and more.
