They want maintenance-free living and a lake view, but they aren’t ready to give up space, a reserved parking spot, storage or a sense of security. Most high rise apartments in Austin [/ →](/) are studios to 2 bedrooms. The large layouts are a small slice of each tower, and they move fast. We match downsizers to the biggest layouts in our inventory: | Tower | District | Largest layout | Bedrooms | Rent range | Concession | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Alexan Waterloo | East Downtown | 4,064 sq ft | 1–3BR | $1,804–$14,593 | 2.5 months free | | Hanover Brazos Street | East Downtown | 3,309 sq ft | 1–3BR | $2,409–$15,316 | 2 months free | | Ashton Austin | Congress Avenue | 3,218 sq ft | 1–3BR | $2,979–$14,725 | 2.5 months free | | 700 River | Rainey Street | 3,194 sq ft | 0–3BR | $1,823–$19,620 | 2 months free | | The Modern Austin Residences | East Downtown | 5BR units | 1–5BR | $2,850–$25,000 | None advertised | ## Parking, storage and security come first For downsizers, the layout is only half the decision. The other half is what a house gave you for free: - **Parking.** Reserved garage spaces commonly run $175–$250 a month downtown. Tandem parking and second spaces are limited, and guest parking for visiting family varies by building. - **Storage.** Many towers offer storage units for a monthly fee, in limited numbers. Climate-controlled wine storage exists in some top-tier towers. - **Security.** Key fob access, a 24-hour concierge in some towers, controlled garage entry and staffed package rooms. - **EV charging.** Level 2 EV charging is common, but availability per space varies. We confirm each of these before a unit makes your shortlist, because a perfect layout with no second parking space doesn’t work for a two-car household. > **What a downsizer told us** > > After 24 years in Westlake, the Hanover Brazos 3-bedroom with tandem parking was the first place that felt like it could replace the house. It never appeared on a portal. (Illustrative renter scenario.) ## What changes when you move from a house Space planning is the big one. Measure your favorite pieces before you tour, and decide what you’ll store, sell or give to family. Daily life shifts too: no yard, no roof repairs, no HOA, but shared elevators, move-in reservations and parking rules. Most downsizers tell us the trade is worth it within a month, especially once they’re walking to dinner or the Butler Trail. Our guide to downsizing from a house to an Austin high rise [/guide/downsizing-house-to-high-rise/ →](/guide/downsizing-house-to-high-rise/) covers the full checklist. ## Qualifying without a paycheck Many downsizers live on retirement or investment income. Standard screening asks for 2.5×–3× monthly rent in income, but many buildings accept asset-based qualification, bank statements or a larger deposit. We tell you which towers accept what before you apply, so the application isn’t a surprise. If you need even more space or a top-floor terrace, compare penthouse & ultra-luxury apartments [/penthouse-apartments/ →](/penthouse-apartments/) and the 4- and 5-bedroom high rise residences [/guide/four-and-five-bedroom-high-rises-austin/ →](/guide/four-and-five-bedroom-high-rises-austin/) guide.
