UT Austin is one of the largest universities in the country
with thousands of new students every year. There is a high demand for housing.
Fortunately, UT offers many types of housing in the campus area. The need for
students is accessibility to the school, whether it be walking, biking, bus, or
car. For those students who wish to live off campus, shuttle bus or car are the
options for transportation.
The most familiar UT shuttle areas are the Riverside/Oltorf area
and Far West. Riverside is less than 10 miles from campus south of the river.
This area offers many apartment options with over 50 communities. Most of the
properties are older constructions as the area began to develop in the late
1960’s. More properties were added in
the late 1970’s, mid 1980’s, mid 1990’s, with a few more added after 2000. For
those who prefer a brand new construction, options are limited here.
Far West is an area north of campus on the west side of
Austin. The area developed in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. It offers 15 or
so apartment options. The shuttle commute is about 15 minutes. Far West offers
a different atmosphere from Riverside. It is less congested and more relaxed.
The hills of Far West are more scenic. It is a pleasant alternative to those who wish to stay away from hectic
Riverside.
A little to the north is one of Austin’s most popular areas.
It is called the Arboretum. Aside from the many points of interest, it also
offers easy access to major roads. There is an excellent mix of property types,
from high end luxury to affordable economy. There is also two shuttle stops
nearby. The Arboretum is 15 miles to
campus and is an easy commute. With over
30 properties to choose from, there is plenty of choice.
Many students gravitate to the Arboretum because all the
attributes. It is relatively close to campus, affordable, newer, convenient to
major roads, and offers a wealth of entertainment and shopping options.
