What Austin apartments should a recent graduate tour first?

Quick answer

A useful starting comparison includes Rivette Tower in Mueller, AMLI on 2nd and Seven Downtown, 422 at the Lake near South Congress, and Berkshire Riverview on Riverside. Add The Waylon or Solaris House when the job is in North Austin. This is not one universal list: the workplace and office frequency should narrow the geography before budget, building type, social priorities, and current concessions determine the finalists. Austin traffic can make a five-area route inefficient, so split the tour into logical geographic clusters when necessary.
