Straight answers
Areas: questions
Direct answer first, then the source and date. If your question isn't here, ask us on the form or by text.
Which areas do you cover?
All five counties in the metro: Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, and Caldwell. Area pages are live for Far North Austin, Northeast Austin, Far East Austin, Southeast Austin, and San Marcos, and more are in progress.
Why does an area need 3 new buildings to get a page?
An area page compares buildings. With fewer than 3 new builds there isn't enough to compare, so those buildings appear on the board without an area page.
Where is vacancy highest?
Far North Austin at 25.0%, then San Marcos at 19.9%, Northeast at 17.0%, and Southeast at 16.2% (Matthews Q2 2026). Vacancy measures room to ask, not area quality.
Do you rate neighborhoods or schools?
No. We list school districts as facts with their lookup links and never use them in a score. We describe buildings and commutes, not the people who live nearby.
Can I search more than one area?
Yes. Name an area plus up to four neighborhoods on the form and we'll shortlist across them.
Can you guarantee a price or approval?
No. The community sets both price and approval. We confirm them in writing before you sign.
