Your Free Apartment Locator in West Campus, Austin

Austin Second Chance Apartments is the apartment locator West Campus renters call when automated screening blocks their application. West Campus is the densest renter market in Austin, pulled almost entirely by University of Texas at Austin demand. The Drag (Guadalupe Street) runs the length of the neighborhood and concentrates the highest-density student housing inventory in the metro, including purpose-built mid-rises, student high-rises, and garden-style communities within walking distance of campus. Screening here was built for students, which creates an unusual path for renters with no rental history, low credit scores, or a past lease issue who can bring a qualified co-signer.

Most communities accept guarantors at 3x rent with a 650+ credit score on the guarantor, not the applicant. Several approve tenants with no credit history or no prior lease on record if a qualified guarantor is on file. A smaller group accepts third-party guarantor services like Liberty Rent and The Guarantors as an alternative when you don't have a family member or employer willing to co-sign. Look-and-lease specials and reduced-deposit offers rotate seasonally across the 78705 zip code, and our team tracks which buildings are running them.

The 78705 footprint covers North Campus apartment corridors along Nueces Street and Rio Grande Street, student high-rises flanking Guadalupe, and smaller communities extending west toward Shoal Creek. Renters searching near Dean Keeton Street and 24th Street fall within our coverage, as do overflow searches into adjacent Downtown Austin and North Loop. CapMetro's 803L MetroRapid runs the length of The Drag, giving tenants car-free access to the UT campus and downtown. I-35 is one mile east and MoPac (Loop 1) one mile west. Ross Quade and the Austin Second Chance Apartments team know which West Campus properties extend guarantor acceptance to non-student applicants, and we match you there first.
