FAR WEST
NEIGHBORHOOD
"The
Far West neighborhood in Austin is named for Far West Boulevard, which
runs through the area, rather than for its geographic location. In
fact, Far West is not really in the " far west" part of Austin at all;
it is the area just off MOPAC Expressway, around Far West
Boulevard and
Mesa Drive." You can get a lot more for your
money in the Far
West and Arboretum neighborhoods than you will close to campus.
Most
of the apartments in the Far
West neighborhood do not have washer and dryer connections in their one
bedrooms. However; each complex has one or more laundry
facility on site so
you won't have to go off of the property to wash your clothes.
Most of the apartments in this neighborhood have a ut shuttle bus
stop
either in front of their property or a few blocks within walking
distance. There is a wonderful HEB grocery store as well as some
small restaurants and shops in this neighborhood. All utilities
are paid by the renters and all of the apartments have central air
conditioning and heating.
They all come with refrigerators (some with ice makers), stoves,
and most have dishwashers. The properties in this neighborhood
were built in the 70's and early 80's. All complexes have fitness
centers and
most have business offices where you can use their computer, fax, and
copier machines.

13
APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

THE STUDIOS AND

Here are a
few samples of the Far West
property rentals listed below without pictures. Remember,
once
I know
what you're requirements are, I will contact the properties to find out
their latest availabilities (changes hourly) and send you the
property names,
addresses, their web sites with floor plans, pictures,
amenities and specials including deposit information.
Most properties have one and two bedrooms while some have three
and four bedroom units. All of the complexes handle preleasing
differently but I will let you know how each one works with pre-leasing
a unit.

You can email
me or call me (please leave a message if I don't answer because I'm
probably on the phone or out with a client). DON'T
GO APARTMENT TO APARTMENT TO
SEE IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING
FOR YOU WHEN
I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN ALL THAT INFORMATION!
Efficiencies go first and then the small one bedrooms, on
up..

ARBORETUM APARTMENTS ON THE
CAPITAL METRO EXPRESS ROUTES
Get to UT in 15 minutes on this bus!
Not
only can you walk to the UT
Shuttle from some of the properties, you can also walk to the many
shops, grocery stores (HEB and
Randalls) and restaurants. That's what everyone loves about
the
Arboretum, walk
to Petco, Starbucks, Macaroni Bar and Grill, the movies, Barns and
Nobles, Michael's, Pottery Barn, Banana Republic, Victoria's Secret,
The Gap, Bed, Bath and Beyond, just to name a few. Don't want
to walk
a few block's? The Capital Metro Bus has park and rides that
you can drive to in just minutes and park your car and take the Express
Bus to the University of Texas. Students ride for free on
the Capital Metro.
The
Arboretum is all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Have a dog?
I know the complexes that even have fenced in back yards!
Almost all of
the units in this neighborhood either have washer and dryer connections
or come with a set.
Canyon views. Third story view
(left) and first story view (right)
from Arboretum property below
You're
going to be studying most of the time but when it's time to relax, why
not relax with a view like this? The picture on the left is the
view my client has that leased a 3rd floor unit. If a
view is not a big deal
to you then
you'll
just
save more money. Either way, this is a really heavily wooded
property that is very well managed.
Wood-burning fireplaces in some units, top floors have vaulted
ceilings, bookshelves and linen closets in some units, ceiling fans,
full-size washer dryer connections in ALL units, ceramic bath tubs,
breakfast bars, high-speed Internet access ready, two pools with
multi-level sun decks, exercise and weight room, fantastic wooded and
canyon views, two laundry facilities, and assigned covered parking
available. Some units upgraded with stainless steel appliances
and new carpeting and fixtures. All of this on 25 acres of
greenbelt in the
Arboretum!
LARGE
ONE BEDROOMS STARTING AT 700
SQUARE FEET.
Don't
spend your hard earned money on a
plane trip and a hotel room just to come back to Austin to find a
place to rent!
I have leased a LOT of very satisfied clients sight-un-seen, it's very
easy with emails and fax machines. Check out just a few of my
clients' testimonials that I leased sight-un-seen.. In fact,
almost everyone I
leased this way ended up renewing their leases at the same place.
because they love where they live! Constance's
